Way to Go Allison!

My dear friend, Katie, texted me Friday night to let me know her daughter, Allison, made the 7th grade cheer squad.  I am so excited for both Allison and Katie.  Allison is an incredible dancer and cheerleader.  This is the first year there are tryouts for cheerleading!  Katie and I are looking forward to sitting on the sidelines together in the fall...watching Allison cheer and Ryan play football.

Here's a fun card for Allison in our school colors/theme...go Loveland Tigers!  Thanks to Stampin' 411 for the sketch inspiration!

I liked the sketch so much I also did a second card.  I took Jennifer McGuire's class over the weekend (so much fun...take her classes if you ever get the chance!) so I wanted to try some distressing inks out on this card and had some fun new October Afternoon paper to try!  I also had to ink up my new SU stamps!
Too tired to type the ingredients out tonight :)

These are both gorgeous Lynn.. it's funny... although Orange is not usually my color, I really LOVE the orange one! Maybe it's the puppy paws.. Beautiful job as always girlfriend!

I took a class with Jennifer McGuire back in 2005 at CKY Boston. She is an amazing person!!!

I LOVE this card. It would work equally as well for a Cub Scout card (the Tigers use the same colors)!!!!

I love both cards! The first one is made in my son's favorite color (you should see his room lol!! but only with sunglasses on!!), so I think that makes me love it even more...but the second one is SO pretty too! Nice job on both!!

Two great cards, but I love the modern vintage look of the 2nd one - great background paper! Super job Lynn!
Thanks for playing this week!

OMG! We are famous! LOL! Seriously, Allison LOVED the card, and so did I! Want to borrow that stamp, girl! Thanks again! See you in the stands!
