Echo Park papers just make me happy! I bought the three original sets and am loving them--I even love the stickers (and I never love the stickers!). I had some scraps out on my desk from a recent project and I noticed that they fit Dawn's
Color Cue 8 perfectly. I also wanted to play in the
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and shazam--everything came together like magic.
Wheeee!!! The flowers are from Waltzingmouses's Pic-nic Patterns and the sentiment is from their Rescue Remedies Additions. I used Colorbox chalk ink in Lime Pastel, Dark Brown, and Maroon (I'm having a Chalk Ink Renassaince after making my ink color chart: sure they stain your clear stamps, but they stamp so vividly!). Each flower head is popdotted, and each strip is pop dotted. The button on the Nestie Label 4 is also scarlet, with some fab yellow embroidery thread.
And wait, there's more happiness! I was so happy when not one, but two! Emilies awarded me this:

Using up scraps makes me happy and your card using your scraps is perfect! I love the layout! I have some PTI stamps that would work great w/ this layout!

What a fun bunch of happy. I'm happy because I got a stack of essays done in record time. I might even have time to >gasp< stamp something!
Aw, what a beautiful post, Meg! Your card is awesome (no surprise there) and how cool that it jives with two challenges? :)
Funny about all the Emilies! I'd only ever met one other Emily in my whole life 'til the past year when I entered blogland. :O We must all be the same age because the name lost its popularity for a whole generation and came back with a vengeance!
I LOVE the flowers and DH sure loves you! ;D

Hi Meg! I stumbled upon your blog over at Emily Keaton's "Little Slice of Bliss," and you make just wonderful cards! I had to laugh when I saw your profile because I'm ALSO a math teacher and have a little dog that basically rules my life. =) I'm really looking forward to following your blog and enjoying all of the great inspiration (and organization tips! I loved those!) Thanks for sharing!
Doing some blog catching up, Meg...this one's a beauty...and so are those flowers!
