FWF #16 - The Winding Down (of the School Year) Begins :)


Hi, folks! It's Friday and that means it's time for Unity's Friends with Flair posting! The end of the school year is drawing near - the school's Joggers' Club ended this week (Yay! No more rushing out of the house every Tuesday and Thursday!) and the kids begin "testing" today on Friday. California is having an academic overhaul so this year is considered "practice" and doesn't count at all.

I had a little bit of time over the week and made a birthday card for one of Mika's friends (an 11-year old fashionista), using Mojo Monday's Sketch #341.
 

Papers were all from "My Mind's Eye" and yes, I really love my stamp-a-ma-jig! I used the following Unity kits: Everything Wonderful and Cake Wishes for the inside sentiment.

I've given up trying to shop for the girls' friends - kids these days seem... picky and particular. So, I always opt for the safe bet - gift cards! Hey, who remembers when shopping at Target wasn't considered "cool"? I do! My how things can change over time...

Thanks for visiting and hope everyone has a lovely weekend! Don't forget to visit Unity Stamp Co this weekend and shop - every purchase this weekend gets a free Unity koozie! :)

    I'm a gift card gal too, Miwa…putting it in an amazing card makes up for the lack of something to "open" better than trying to figure out the right item to buy! Love your card and those wonderful papers.

    Great card! Target wasn't cool? It seems everyone I know, myself included, has a wee bit of a Target addiction!

    Great card, Miwa! I can't seem to get the hang of my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I have to get it out and play with it again. I use it so seldom, I forget how and have to re-learn it each time. Hey, I recognize those MME papers from CC days!
