RSG: Start Spreading the News!

Hello friends!

This was a wild and crazy wonderful Wednesday!

Thank you SO MUCH to my new blog followers!

I'm so blessed you found me ♥

On the 3rd Wednesday of every month, my 2 friends and I 

(Barb and Jeanette) create cards with a theme that out of the box.

It's called the Ready, Set, Go! Challenge ~

and this month, I'm the hostess.

 For the February Ready, Set, Go Challenge,

 I am channeling my son's recent trip to New York ♥

While he was gone, I kept singing "New York New York ...." by Sinatra,

 especially the line start spreading the news ....

 and I thought "Oh yes, that's something we haven't done before ... 

play with newspaper!"

  The challenge: to use newspaper somewhere on the card .... literally!

  (haha, no pun intended!)  

Use a small or large piece but it should be the main focus 

when we see your card and say "Oh, newspaper!"  on your card! 

  For my newspaper element, I created a backdrop of New York City, 

where he went!

They spent a week exploring the city ~ flying from Miami to NYC!

They saw - and did - and ate - and experienced just about everything!

I asked him his favorite part?

"Missing school for a week!"

I guess at 14, that might be my answer, too :)

I've used a stamp set from MFT called Our Story

to represent my son and the 'school' aspect - although this trip was all play!

He earned it through his hard work and dedication to school,

very high grades and sweet disposition ♥

To add a little fun and the winter theme and the snow he was in,

I added the fun penguin and sentiment from another MFT set, Cooler with You.

He indeed makes life more fun!

 And that's it for me today!

Thanks for your visit today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
