The Secret of Life-Clockworks

September 5, 2013

Today was a very special day!  We attended Grandparent's Day with Miss Addison.  It was so exciting to see her Pre-K classroom.  Watching her with her teacher and all her friends was very amusing.   I miss teaching and my heart was filled with mixed emotions.  I hope to go work in her classroom very soon!

When I got home, I decided to go in my craft room and make a card.  After checking the Create with Connie and Mary challenge and The Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge, I decided to create a card for both challenges.  I really like the color combination of Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry and Early Expresso.  This was my first attempt at a pocket card, but I know I will be making more in the future.

THINK PINK and Prayers!

September 4, 2013

My friend just found out she has breast cancer and underwent surgery yesterday.  I have her in my prayers and want her to know that I am thinking of her.  She lives in Indiana, so I can't do the things, I would like to do for her, but I know this card will brighten her day.  THINK PINK!!!!!

I am submitting my card to Freshly Made Sketches.
