I made this card for my young friend Kelly who joined the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) at her son's elementary school this yr. She is determined to give it her all and make a difference. I thought this card might be a fun surprise for her. I typed a Michael Jordan quote on the inside:
"Some people want it to happen,
some wish it would happen,
others make it happen."
And in keeping the MJ theme I added:
Go ahead and knock their Nikes off!
In Ranger distress ink, I stamped three primary color Deep Red wagons. Then used SU basic gray with a TH watercolor brush to create a base for them. Used SU collage alphabet to stamp the letters. Direct pad-to-paper, distressed the edges of the card.
Thanks for looking!

Cute card. I think being a part of the PTA is one of the hardest jobs I've ever had! I'm sure your friend will really appreciate this card and the quote.

What a great quote to use for this card! I'm sure she will have plenty to haul in those wagons not that she's in PTA. Love your card! I'm sure your friend will, too!
