Hey everyone! Thank you for joining me today for another MAKE IT IN MINUTES video!  Today’s video is also a FLASH CARD.  I think this card turned out gorgeous and WOW was is simple.  “Life is Beautiful Because of You”… what a great sentiment, right?!

The “A Mother’s Flair” stamp set is just my style – a little retro, a little funky, and oh so girly!

This layout will be great with a lot of different stamp sets but those clean lines and lovely font were just perfect for this clean & simple card.

I did step out of my “Flash Card” system just a touch by adding a piece of cardstock to the inside.  Elegant Eggplant was just too dark and I needed some white cardstock for my message.

Last night we attended a parent meeting for students wishing to do concurrent enrollment.  This is where seniors in high school can take college classes that count towards their high school requirements and also for college credit.

Guys…. when the words, “Ginny will be a senior next year” came out of my mouth, my heart just sank.  My baby will be a senior in high school.  I can’t handle that yet!  It was just one of those “Mommy Moments” that no one is ever quite ready for. <sigh>

But, on the other side, Christina and her final year of college, we got some GREAT news!  The school is going to extend her talent scholarship AND academic scholarship for the extra semester she has to take for her student teaching.  YAY!!!  This is a HUGE thing and a hefty sum of money that I am happy to keep in my savings account.  Also, she will be able to walk for her graduation in May (even though she still has her student teaching to do before she gets her degree).  She REALLY wanted to graduate with her friends and I am thrilled the university recognized that her student teaching isn’t even done on campus so she will basically be done.  But wait, there’s more!  Christina also needed 3 dance classes for her Theatre Education degree (yeah, that’s crazy but whatever).  There wasn’t a class being offered that would work around her current class schedule so they accepted her yoga class that she took a couple years ago as a dance class.  FINALLY things are working out for her (you may recall the professor that never showed up to class fiasco).

So, as soon as one if out of college, the other will be going in.  This Momma needs a glass of wine and a baby book to reminisce with.  Feeling a little bittersweet today.
