I'll be honest...when I saw this combo, I had nothing! Then I sat down and flipped through my binder (when I get a new stamp set, I always ink it up in basic grey on a white paper and file it alphabetically in a binder to refer to at a later date. I find doing this, I always have a visual of what stamp is where, and also the neutral color doesn't prejudice my mind as to how I "should" use a stamp set) and the ideas started pouring in! I think I'll be coming back to this combo in the future!!!

Big C's teacher is leaving at the end of April, and it's been such a wonderful match for them both (I hope!) ;o) we really wanted to create a special card for a special thank you letter. Luckily for Big C, the new teacher is a returning one he's had before and has really worked well with, and the departing teacher is just moving down a few classroom doors to cover another maternity leave. All in all, things will work out well I am sure!
