The case of the missing reinkers

There are times it does not pay to overthink.  Most times it does not pay to overthink.  I had the perfect little spot for the only two reinkers I own.  Dark Chocolate and Ripe Avocado.  They were tucked in a little box in my ribbon drawer.  And everything was fine.  But the overthinking side of me said, "What if they tip over and leak out and get all over my ribbon?"  So I moved them.  And I don't know where they are now.  I can't find them anywhere.  Which wouldn't matter at all, except that it's the last week of kindergarten, and I need my dark chocolate reinker.  Here is the card I need it for:


This is the card I made for the teacher's aide in my daughter's class.  She is awesome!  She works at the kindergarten in the morning, and then goes to school in the afternoons/evenings.  She is hoping to become a teacher.  She is so great with the kids and would make an awesome teacher.  So I really hope she pursues her dream.  I love this quote, and would put it on every other card I made, if it would make any sense to do that.  But since it doesn't, I definitely like to use it on occasions when it makes perfect sense.  As you can see, though, the sentiment needs a little more oomph to it.  That's where the reinker would come in handy.  I have a few days still to try and find it.  But if I don't, this will the be the card she gets (oomphless sentiment and all).

You only have 2 reinkers? LOL I'm running out of room for mine. Gosh, I hope you find them. I'm sure they are sitting upright somewhere...jewlery box? a shelf? top of the refrigerator? back of the toilet? standing up in another drawer? kitchen cabinet? Under the sink in the kitchen, the bathroom? I'm sure I could go on but I will bore you no further.

Your card is lovely. I love a good one layer card and I love CAS!

This is a beautiful card--from a beautiful set! One that will never go to eBay. I think the sentiment has plenty of ooomph!

I love the sort of sandy beach look to this with all the fun shading with the colors. Don't know how you did that with ink pads or coloring or what, but I think it's great. And the sentiment kinda faded like that I don't think needs anything else - but that's just me...and I am an anything else kinda person - LOL She'll love it!

Such a beautiful CAS card! They are so hard to make, but you've done a lovely job here.
I'm surprised you only have two reinkers! I keep mine on the shelf with my buttons - reinker behind the corresponding button color. I bet you put yours in a very safe place! ;o)

She will really like this card! I hope you find you reinkers. It always drives me crazy when I can't find something!

So beautiful!! I think it looks perfect. I love that saying and it's perfect for this card.

Stop fretting over your reinker. Pretend you don't need it. Go buy some new ones. Then they'll show up. ;)
