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.
