I have to admit that I've been a bit stuck with this week's cue word from CASology! I immediately thought of wild animals and I have some stamps with wild animals, but they're so cute and not really ideal. Then I thought of wild colours - neons, clashing colours, super vibrant - again didn't work for me. Then I remembered my zany lizard stamp - wild animal and wild pattern - YES!! I turned the sketch on its side so that the scalloped border was at the bottom of the card. I like this week's Colour Throwdown challenge and think they're perfect for a wild, zany lizard! I stamped the image in Versafine, heat embossed with clear powder and coloured with SU pens and distress ink. I finished off with a simple sentiment.
One of the things that Kathryn is having to get used to here, is no half-term holiday. At this time in the UK the schools have a week's break to allow the children and staff to recharge. That doesn't happen here!!! Although when I mentioned it to some of Kathryn's teachers, they rather liked the idea!! Kathryn has a couple of short breaks coming up soon; Election Day - November 6th and then Thanksgiving - 22nd and 23rd November.
That's all for now - see you soon.

Love your zany lizard - that amethyst really pops! Great job combining all the challenges! When I was away recently I met two families (one from South Carolina, one from Ohio) whose schools were 'full year' - 9 weeks on and then 4 weeks off. Sounded interesting and probably allows for less of the 'forgetting' we get over our long summer break. Thanks so much for getting wild with us at CASology!
Deborah, your card jumped right out at me from the CASology pool...I LOVE this fun, wild lizard and your CAS layout! Glad you are feeling better, too!
