I didn't get to a make any cards yesterday, so I am back in the craft room this morning. I had a great day yesterday. I went to Atlanta to visit my GRANDdaughters school. I read to Miss Addison's Pre-K class. It was great to share this special time with them. It sure brought back all the years of teaching! I do miss that aspect of teaching!
Now, on to the Create with Connie and Mary challenge. The colors definitely have a Fall feeling, but I decided to try something different with the color combo. I have the Tangerine Tango embossing powder and I love the Swallowtail stamp, so here is what I created for the challenge. ENJOY!
