"From My Heart"

Can you believe it's almost the end of August!!!  Where has the time gone?  Our kids are going off to school and the summer is coming to an end.  In Texas, that's a good thing!!  Many of you saw my wonderful pictures from Washington while I took my daughter Amanda up there for orientation.  What a treat the scenery and weather was for us!  In the middle of September, we go back again.  This time I come back alone.  Whoa.....  I know many of Mom's have done this, but I "feel" like I'm the only one right now.  Here's another picture from our trip with Amanda's new mode of transportation.....peddling!!! LOL!!! 

Anyway, on to this weeks Pals Paper Arts Challenge!!  Nicole has come up with another fabulous sketch for us this week!

 

In making this card I kept wanting to make this sketch more complicated.  Clean and simple cards are so hard!!!  I almost feel the more I fuss the easier it gets for me!!  Ok, I'm just an odd duck!!  LOL!! 

Here's my card below:

I love this stamp set "From My Heart".  Every stamp has a useful heartfelt message.  The colors are Crumb Cake and Pistachio Pudding.  Don't these colors make you feel warm and cozy inside?  How about a pot of tea between two friends?  Sounds like a great idea to me!!   Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they're sharing.

This week's "Just A Thought"......

I saw this on Facebook this week and felt it would be the perfect thought for those of us taking our children off to school this year near or far.
