Today is a big day in my house - bigger than that it's Wednesday and time for a new sketch!! My oldest son leaves for college today. I'm feeling a little guilty because I'm not sad. I've been asked about 1000 times if I'm OK and I'm totally OK. I think it might be because my son took a year off so I am extra tired of having him underfoot!! I also know that it's time for his sake. I will be at work before he leaves and I wanted to make sure he knew I was thinking of him - so I made a card!

Freshly Made Sketches: The World is Waiting
It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by our guest designer Cécile Ribon.
He'll like the card, but he'll love the Starbucks card on the inside.
I hope to see you playing along!
SUPPLY LIST
It looks like my arrows are retired. I have them listed as the Mod Arrow Border die from Simon Says Stamp but I don't find it on their website.

ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteIt really IS a special day at your house and this card is a perfect send off for your son. I love that sentiment (is it embossed?) and the pops of red. I love seeing your fabulous cards, my heart is always warmed at the ways you bless others with them!

ReplyDeleteYou have such a knack for making incredible poigniant cards for your kids... this one is awesome. I loved reading your post. This is a new adventure for all, and what a fantastic way to send him off. Absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteNew adventures await your son, and his 'gap year' has prepared him well. He'll be fine; he's gained some experience in learning how to face and overcome challenges. When he needs support, he knows he'll find it in you. Your card: a perfect send off. The world is waiting to embrace him...Starbucks card? NICE!!
