Christmas Stampin All Year Long Challenge #27

Good morning Friends! Well it's Monday again and that means a new challenge at Christmas Stampin All Year Long Challenge. This week Sankari of Sankari's Sunshine Corner is hosting the challenge and she has a simple challenge for us! I love simple . .don't you?

This week's challenge is to create a card with a snowman. That's it. How easy is that? I decided to use a stamp that I have never inked up from all the years I've had it. I have a lot of snowman stamps for some reason. . .I mean how many snowman do one person need? I'm glad I dug it out of my piles of stamps and used it. It's a cutie.

What are your plans today? Well, my daughter is starting summer school today and I have to drive her to school daily, which is a 40 minute drive one way. I'm teaching her to drive so she can drive herself to school. Sadly until she can get her license, I have to drive her to school this fall as well. I am not looking forward to the drive.

My daughter decided she didn't want to dorm but the University is a 40 minute drive away. It really bothered me initially that I would have to drive her to school. I thought my chauffeuring days were over. Well, not so. . .at least for one semester. My goal is to get her to pass her drivers license so I don't have to drive her next year.

What am I going to do after I drop her off? Well, for the summer session. . .her class is only 1 1/2 hours so I'll just hang out at the school. I'll bring my netbook and blurf or something. Maybe I'll walk around and take photos or cruise around town and hang out a coffee shop.

The fall semester will be a bit tricky. I tried to apply for the arts program at the same university but due to the budget cuts, they weren't accepting any new arts students until next fall. Bummers.

I'm thinking of taking community college art courses to get me started at least until UC starts accepting new art students. . .there's a community college near by to the university. The alternative is to drive back home then drive back to pick her up which I am absolutely not thrilled about. Our city bus system only makes selected trips to the university. . .very early in the morning and in the evening. No in betweens. My daughter will be able to catch the bus home a few days a week but she won't be able to catch the bus to the university. Her schedule just don't fit the bus schedule in the mornings.

It's a bit of a dilemma. . .mainly for me. I was planning to return to work but it's not going to work out. I was planning to return to college. . .but that isn't working out either. I guess the best bet is my daughter getting her drivers license and I'll take community college courses in the mean time.

Anyway. . enough of my yapping. There's not much to discuss about this card. I colored parts of the image with my Copic Markers and the rest is about layering and embellishing.
