Love the Card Christina! I've never used any digital stamps before..would be interesting to try! I do gotta question for ya though.... Why would you make a back to school card?

Just wondering cause I've never done that and would like to try it but don't know who I'm making it for... thanks for any answers to that! Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteOnce again Christina you outdid yourself! This card is so cute! I really love all the distressing!
ReplyDeleteI am shocked that school is starting so early in some places. Growing up, we never started before Labor Day. I can see why families all have to take vacation in 2 months of the year when the children are out of school.
