A quick and easy card for this morning! Challenges incorporated into today's card creation:
- Splitcoast CAS91, with Sympathy
- Create for Fun, CR84FN2
- Card Positioning Systems, CPS191
We took our kids out trick-or-treating last night and had a fabulous time, despite the brisk temperatures and biting wind. DH and I wore our winter coats and gloves (and I should have taken my earmuffs!!) and were just barely comfortable. However, the thought of limitless sugary candy must have warmed our kids' hearts because they never once complained about being cold--and this is without the benefit of coats. Neither one wanted to ruin the look of their costume with extra bulk so they let an extra sweater layer underneath their costumes suffice. And the gloves we took along for them just in case? Too much bother!! They just got in the way of handling the candy and treats.
By the time we returned home, my fingers (in my gloves!) were numb but their bare hands were toasty warm. DH and I sipped hot cocoa while the kids sorted, tallied, and traded their candy. And first thing this morning before school, DS had to make both a bar graph and a pie chart of all the different kinds of candy he received. That's my boy!! He's all about the data. Of course, he had me print out his graphs (in color) so he could take them to school to show his second-grade teacher and class. Too cute :)

You did a bang up job with the sketch, Emily! Love the image and how you used the colour combo.
You had me LOL when I read about your household statistician :) Too cute! Glad the kids had a great time and you didn't freeze too badly.

LOL at the bar graph.. That is a boy for you.. It was so warm here for Halloween.. A nice day to treat. Your card is beautiful. I love the layout.
Your story was GREAT and so is your card! LOVE the image in the center and the sketch! I never use circles like that but might have to give it a try!
I love your card, what a really great way to use that CPS sketch.
Teehee, I love the image of your son making a bar graph of his candy!! A future math nerd in the making!! :)
Beautiful card...I love how you made the circle layout work for this sympathy card. What a peaceful image.
So cute about Joel and his data! Was that because he had to do it for school, or he just wanted to? Well, either way, he was eager to do it and that is so neat.
I like the sky and wheat field you've created on your CAS sympathy card. Very soft and pretty.
Emily that is too fun about your son graphing his haul of trick or treat candy. So cute. Your card is one fantastic creation. I can't get over that beautiful layout. It really compliments your composition. Lovely work. Have a great day.
Bear Hugs,
