So I have been so busy dealing with the dreaded head lice that my youngest daughter brought home from kindergarten that I have had virtually no time to play in my craft room. I have been spending most of my days in the laundry room washing everything, scrubbing furniture, floors and beds and the in the bathroom washing hair. This is my first encounter with this and it is yucky stuff!!
Since I have been so busy, I have had to combine three of this week's challenges.
First is the color combo this week of Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Kraft and Neutral of choice (White). Optional was school notebook paper. Thanks for the fabulous colors again this week Betty!
Second is this week's sketch challenge, thanks Roxie, I loved this one as I usually do!!
Finally is this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge, I have brought apples for Trish LafishÂ’s teachers when she finally returns to school to graduate after being lost at sea.
I hope you like it and I hope your day is much better than mine!!

Beautiful card & great for a teacher thank you, too. Sorry to hear about the lice. My daughter brought a headful home years ago & it wasn't pleasant at all. Wishing you success in ridding your household of these pests.
