I cross my heart

 Happy Saturday!  I wanted to share a little love as we approach valentines season. As this cute card says, "I cross my heart"  How sweet is that?  I made this card in a class with beautiful papers from Echo Park.  You take  12 sheets of 6x6 echo park paper and create 8 card fronts.  It was a fun class.

Grateful for you

 Today we are welcoming the kids back to school.  Normally I would not be working today but I am substituting for a peer at work.  So this week I am doing 4 days plus an extra before and after school duty time.  We'll see if that makes the week long....

2025

Here's a lovely card made by a kid who had a store in the Maker's markert by the Texas capitol building in December on the day of the christmas tree lighting. It was so rainy and cold.  All these wonderful booths were filled with kiddos who made their own goodies to sell.  They all kept telling me how cold they were and how they had been outside ALL DAY.  among the things I got for them was cards from a couple of different vendors.  This vendor was Adelaide who made the cutest cards to sell.

I love her drawing of the Capitol of Texas.  Great job, just wait until you see the other creations I got from her.  (Posted with her permission)

I thought after Christmas I would share a few winter theme cards even though winter can be sparse (but occasionally harsh) here.  How is the weather for y'all?
