Watch out! I managed to get my card made on time AND my blog post all set to go on time. I don't know what's going on, but let's hope this is a good start to getting back to normal. :) It's a new week at Freshly Made Sketches and we have a great new sketch from Jen M. Now I normally avoid square cards, but I decided to behave this week and try one. I found this neglected kit from Simon Says Stamp in my stash and thought it would be fun for the sketch. I love the papers and the colors!
I did make it a 4 1/4 sqaure so that it's easy to throw in a regular envelope. I never the right stamps for square cards so I need my creations to work with normal regular price stamps. :)
Laila is having a blast at school. I am so thankful that we finally found someone who knows how to work with kids like her. Her behavior at home is even better thanks to what she's learning there. It's mostly play right now, but learning to play independently and how to socialize are two things she needs more than anything. She is starting to read a few words here and there, so maybe that will take off more as we get the other things established. :)
I love the crisp colors you've used on this perfect card for Summer! And I love that sentiment! Glad to hear the new school situation is working so well!
