My card today is for two challenges: Card Creations Challenge: Thank You Cards and Jenny's Wee Memories Challenge. Jenny's challenge was to choose something that inspired you. I had two things that inspired me: Collin's sweet picture below and Jennifer McGuire. I loved the picture that Collin brought home and wanted to create a card similar to it. I thought of Jennifer's technique where you put distress ink on your craft pad and then spray it will Perfect Pearls. You then take a stamp block and rub it in the ink/pearls mixture. Once the block is covered you "stamp" the block on your cardstock. The blue background on this card has the pearlized ink on it. I think dried it a bit and stamped the tree images on it. I was pleased with how it turned out and made a few wintery thank you notes.
Here's Collin inspiration photo:

Collin should do a weekly challenge, it is adorable! Your card is pretty to, love the sentiment banner.
I love both cards. Collin certainly has some artistic talent...great card Collin.
I am going to use your idea for a card I need to send...
You always do such a beautiful job, and make them look so easy.
What a little artist! Great card Collin! I certainly know "Manic Monday" song Lynn! I immediately started singing it when I read your post title! LOL Love the "blues" you used in your card and it matches your cute inspiration piece great!
Collin's picture is adorable and you did a great job casing it. I love the red bird and the pearlised background.
Two GREAT creations Lynn :)
I don't know which I like more, your inspiration piece or your card!
...blame it on the train, but the boss is already there....I'm chuckling to myself because we had a train a block away from where I used to work and it made everybody late ALL the time. Thanks for the little memory jog!
Anyway, you made quite a stunning card! WOW! I also love your son's work, I would frame that one!
gorgeous!!!! Both Colin's and yours :) The images look like our city right now with our last snowfall...so pretty :)
Are you kidding me? I like yours better! Those beautiful blues! And love how you set your sentiment on the banner like that. Congrats on your pub pick-ups, too! Yahooooo! A great reason to look forward to those issues!

I LOVE basing inspiration on my kids! I find that their clothes does it to me every time. A funky shirt or a sweet sleeper... I keep meaning to do more of this...
