After all of those years of teaching school, September always seems like the beginning of the new year for me! The seasons change, school starts and those lazy summer days fade away. It is the perfect time of year to start something new! I am excited to be part of the Freshly Made Sketches Design Team! The challenge is to follow the sketch and keep the design clean - doesn't have to be simple - just clean! Hope you join us!
I used stamps from Button Buddies, Sew Suite and Sweet Shoppe alphabet with Just Add Cake DSP to create this card for a friend of mine who is still teaching. But the message is for all of my fellow teachers - and students - school does rule! Have a great year!
