It's National Punctuation Day! September 24th is the day that we celebrate the importance of proper punctuation. There are fourteen commonly used punctuation marks in American English. They are the period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, semicolon, colon, dash, hyphen, parentheses, brackets, braces, apostrophe, quotation marks, and ellipses. Whew! Can you tell that I work in a school? With this many choices and the unfathomable amount of sentiments out there, this week's gallery should be stuffed! Please use any form of punctuation of your project. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
I have attached a few of samples today. Sabrina and Lisa are helping me out with wonderful cards. Remember to use the keyword, WT550, when uploading your project so that we can all see your creation. It helps if you link it up back here too. You can view the entire gallery for this challenge HERE.

Super-fun challenge, Toni!! I have a whole book on punctuation :mrgreen: . And its funny how even here there's a difference in terminology this side of the Atlantic: your period is a full stop to us, and quotation marks are inverted commas.

Thank you for educating us about other than American English punctuation! Of course my challenge will accept any type of punctuation.
Well, I've always called these curly brackets, but thanks to your write-up I now know the correct term is braces!! Which gave me a fun word-play title . WT550 A Brace of Ducklings
Toni- thanks for the great challenge! "Marked" my punctuation in my sentiment for fun, and I used a cute sentiment and stamped image from my stamping buddies- along with adding a paper layered background, along with some ladybug fabric. Here's Umbrella Time.

Here is Christmas Angel for today's punch uation challenge. I added the exxclamation mark to the sentiment. Thank you!
Need to be getting Christmas cards done!
This image was colored by my friend Lisa (Shoe Girl); so talented in coloring! I can't color worth a hoot... I am truly grateful that she did this for me. The bg orange is much brighter and deeper than the pic shows - but I just couldn't get it to show through this time.
