GrumPEA

Mornin' y'all!  Hope your week is going well.  I'm feeling pretty good, I've started working out again this week, starting slow with some yoga and stretching and then a more intense workout today.  It's good to get back in that routine again!

I also love getting back in the stampin' groove and for today's card I *finally* got to break in a stamp set I got ages ago and just hadn't inked up yet!


This is me whenever I have to pick up my kid from school, not because I don't want to see him but because it's so chaotic and the school administration does nothing to make it work better.  Anyway, I left my little grumPEA on a pretty CAS design lifted from this week's Freshly Made Sketch:


And I was happy to see green in this week's Color Throwdown:


I used Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, and Garden Green for my colors, though the blends are Shaded Spruce because we don't have Garden Green blends.  Why??  I busted out some old kraft taffeta ribbon; it is my favorite ribbon ever and I've got an entire photo box of it so I might as well use it.  The die I used is long-retired too.

That's it for me today, peeps.  I've already got a card for tomorrow's post too so maybe I can work on a scrapbook layout today!  After I finish that cookbook project from yesterday...cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Sweet Peas
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Blends in Shaded Spruce and Crumb Cake
Paper:  Garden Green, Thick Basic White, Daffodil Delight DSP

I love the shading on this little pea, and that the shades of green work. :)
And seriously!! My daughter goes to a different elem school than my older kids did, and for the previous two years I have complained at least a few times a week to one of a few friends, lol, because the drop off/pick up system is a NIGHTMARE. Last year there were often 8 "lanes" of traffic trying to get out of a small parking lot! The drivers don't take turns- it's ridiculous! So this year, there are police directing traffic and they moved the cross walk INTO the parking lot and and and...I want to scream!! Come to find out- a problem came up last year and the police dept made changes and are enforcing it, trying to keep kids safe. Kay but...... Wow. I would love to know why today's parents don't know how to drive in a parking lot or driveway. And yes- why is nothing reasonable being done?! Sorry for the novel, just empathizing that this problem is elsewhere too.
