Hip Hippo Hooray

I have made A LOT of posts this weekend so be sure to scroll down!!!

My family is away. Jaimee is on a 4 day band trip to Whistler (I will pick her up in a couple of hours), Danica and Jason are at a track meet in Victoria and should also be home in a few hours. Now it sounds like a nice, relaxing and perfect weekend for a paper crafter don't you think? Well originally I had planned on staying home from the track meet to catch up on stuff around here, including work stuff. What I didn't plan on was being sick! I have a VERY sore throat and ears and have done a lot of sleeping this weekend. I did go into the school for a couple of hours today. Other than that I have been eating ice cream and a bit of crafting. A pretty good weekend indeed, however, the 'stuff' will still haunt me this week! Ah well, it can wait!

This weeks CPS sketch

I kept my card simple as it is for my nephew. For the foam number I heated it a bit and then stamped it with the Spot On Backgrounds, which I had inked in Versamark (so it wouldn't stick). The sentiment is printed on the computer with the CTMH font called 'hippo' - appropriate don't you think! The sentiment and hippo are mounted with foam squares. All supplies are from CTMH.

Pattern Paper: Animal Cookies
Foam Die Cut Numbers
