National Pencil Day + Giveaway!

Hi friends! 
 
 I'm getting a late start to the day's posting ~ 
but, hopefully, with good reason.
I've been in bed for 3 days with the flu :(
I'm in 'take it one day, one hour at a time mode!

And the saddest part ..
today is my birthday! 
Oh this one is a year to remember ~
and praying I'm well enough to enjoy some of it this weekend, too!
 
Onward to my tardy card ...
 this is my last post as the March hostess for the CCEE Stampers.
Tomorrow is National Pencil Day.
The DT have created cards featuring a pencil image
or colored the image with colored pencils ~ or both!


I've used an interesting frame from Hello Bluebird that is slightly larger
than the A2 card size.
The card, when standing, looks similiar to an easle style - pretty neat!
This is the inside,
which is the finished statement to the sentiment on the front. 


Before you go, 
You know what they say about birthdays - celebrate!
I am celebrating my birthday with a big giveaway
of stamps, matching dies, and other crafty goodies on my Instagram
(winner will be chosen only on Instagram, so hop on over!)
 You can find me HERE if you'd like to take a look! 
 
Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

  28. Hi! I'm so sorry you had to be sick on your birthday. A special day you share with my sister, who almost shares your name, as well. Her name is just spelled differently - Kelli =)

    I found your blog from IG, because my sweet friend, Stasia, tagged me.

    I love the card you shared for National Pencil Day! So cute! I was at least using my colored pencils that day... whew! I could have missed it and may not have known!

    Here's hoping to many healthy and happy days in the coming year!
