I hope everyone is doing well. Here in Ohio, it has FINALLY started to cool off a bit after a very HOT and HUMID summer. My kids all start back to school next week and it will be the first time in 12 years that they will all be in school full time.:) I am hoping that will mean I can spend my days crafting, but who knows...
Anyway, I wanted to share a card with you today. I have used Fireman Peyton image for my card. I enjoy using the Peyton images because I have a child named Peyton, and even though she's a girl, I still love to use the image bearing her name. I have colored this WONDERFUL image with Copics and Atyou Spicas and have cut using Nesties. Other papers used are from Kaisercraft, Bazzill, American Crafts and The Paper Studio. The brown dots are Bazzill and you can find the ticket sentiment in one of our Ticket Sentiment set. I also used a Quickutz EF for the yellow embossed piece. I hope you like it and that you have a wonderful day!!
