10 Minute Craft Dash & Little Red Riding Hood Giveaway

I knew I wouldn't have much time today, but I really wanted to make a card, so I turned to the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge for inspiration.  I've had school/Little Red Riding Hood on my mind (you'll see why in a second), and the challenge colors were perfect for where my thoughts were already occupied.
Please pardon the shadows in the photo.  Remember what I said about not having much time today?  The sun wasn't exactly cooperating (but I am so glad for the sun...did I mention it snowed here yesterday...sigh) and I had to choose between truer color or fewer shadows....I went with color.  This card reminds me so much of notes I would write in middle school--notebook paper, speech bubbles, short thoughts, mix of words and pictures.  Oh, and I owe a huge thanks to my sweet blogging friend Marybeth for being able to finish this card in time (9 minutes 46 seconds).  A while back she sent me these speech bubble diecuts to help hold me over until Papertrey restocked the Bubble Talk dies and I could place another order.  And if that wasn't good enough, she also sent me some of the Lil' Inkers stitched mat dies....love them!
Okay, so why have I been thinking about Little Red Riding Hood and school?  My sweet and super talented sister just created a few new educational packets based on the story Little Red Riding Hood and she has a giveaway on her blog right now that you could win them for free.  You have until next Friday, October 4th to enter.  My sister is a talented artist and teacher, and both of those talents are evident in her educational packets.  I know I'm biased, but I promise you any child would be blessed to have her as a teacher, and I've used her packets with both my toddler and older preschool/school-age children I've worked with and they are fantastic tools for teaching and fun, too.  Go check them out on her website Learn & Grow Designs...you won't be disappointed. :)

  11. This is fabulous. I love the way you have layered your speech bubbles, and your red base is so striking. I'm pinning this one to case. Also, just had to say--isn't Marybeth the best!! I've had the pleasure of meeting her and even stamping with her, too.
