School Blues

Mornin' y'all!  Well, I went to two different book sales over the past couple of days and they were both a bust.  The first one was more antique/rare books, maps, and prints; I probably would have looked around for longer if I hadn't had Ryan with me.  The one yesterday was much smaller than I expected (like, probably smaller than my living room) and mostly books on Colorado history, which is cool but not what I'm looking for right now.  But I treated myself to lunch at Panera on the way home so the day was not a total loss : )

And I have a card to share today:


I have a friend who's a teacher so I will send this to her.  I have a few challenges today, starting with Addicted to CAS:


I die cut four squares with the Stylish Shapes dies, it's both sides of one sheet of Azure Afternoon DSP, and simply popped up the backpack and apple on top.  I wanted to add some embellishments but I opted to keep it CAS for this challenge.  Next up is the Cupcake Inspiration challenge:


School Days is the perfect stamp set for this challenge, easy peasy!  And finally here is the Creative Colour Challenge from last week:


I like a monochromatic challenge every once in a while and I can make an apple blue if I want to.

This year is the 35th anniversary of the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and I am going to see it on the big screen today BY MYSELF because the hubs and the spawn don't know good movies and they don't wanna go with me.  I remember one year my brother got this movie on VHS for his birthday in November and watched it every single day of Christmas break that year, most often multiple times a day, and because of that I *still* have most of the dialog memorized.  So if I randomly say things like "Whoa, time to switch to decaf, April!" now you know why.  I'm going to go have a great time at the movies by myself.  Cowabunga, dude!
