Left Hander's Day
I drew this digital stamp and made this card in honor of my left handed daughter. We had to do some searching to find where the gene comes from. I guess it is from my side of the family and is only passed on to the girls. Pretty neat story just like my daughter is pretty neat little leftie.

I used my chalks to color the digital stamp and the background.

Bad Poetry Day
This card is brought to you by my teenager, thought it was funny to get me a card a few years back with this poem on it. Now it's my turn...

Inside saying

I think I'll give him this card on the first of day of school. I usually send the kids with a homemade card their first day back.

Just Because Day
I made this card just because I love the little flying elf/fairy. I colored him a year ago when I first got my alcohol markers and then I just put him aside.

This little guy is going to sail into my youngest son's life on the first day of school just because I love my littlest man so much.
