Embellished Frame with OCC

As soon as I saw the Embellished Frame challenge at Our Creative Corner, I knew exactly what I wanted to do - a Father's Day card with quilling. Not something I usually do, since most of my quilling is very girly & flowery, but check it out! I think it worked:

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Oxford;"
standard oval Nesties;
sentiment from ditto;
Versamark, Palette Noir ink, black EP

The oval piece is mounted using a double layer of foam tape - it lays flush with
the quilled frame

The Embellished Frame Challenge is open until Friday night. 

Today we're off for a fun-filled (sarcasm alert!) sixth grade field trip. It's like herding sarcastic and mouthy cats. Part of the trip should be interesting - we'll be visiting the recently built wind farm, and should get a chance to ask some of the questions that Rob & I ask each other every time we drive by it. I seem to be the designated question-asker on these trips - but you know what, if I'm a chaperone, I may as well learn something at the same time.

I also realized that I hadn't shared pictures from Connor's art show last week! His seventh grade class has been learning screen printing - the display items on paper, and they've designed their own t-shirts as well. Check out my favourites:

Thirteen year olds. That is all. (His BISON print is directly to the right of his annoyed shoulder)

Armadillo

Giant anteater (I sense an animal trend....)

Thanks for letting me share :) Connor absolutely loves to draw and create, and I know he'll love hearing what you think :)
