Autumn-y Friends

 

I needed to just sit and make a card this afternoon. Being a teacher in 2020 is a whole new ballgame, let me tell you. Suffice it to say I'm exhausted. There's "teacher tired" and then there's "2020 teacher tired". Whew!

I needed a creative outlet after a very challenging day (12 out of 15 kiddos failed to do an assignment I EXPLICITLY told them to do and I was done). 

Where do you go to find mojo when you have none? Why, to The Paper Players' Challenge, of course! 

This week was a color challenge from Ann, and my autumn-loving heart leapt with joy! 

I dug out one of my favorite little sets, "Trendy Trees", found my stamp-a-majig and got to work. I paired it with a sentiment from the "Lovely You" stamp set and voila! 

Then I had to remake the card because, well, Cajun Craze the stamp-a-majig and my arm collided with the card. 

I decided I didn't like the bling on the card that much anyhow so was more than happy to go ahead and remake it...at least that's what I told myself. ;oP 

Honestly, though, my CAS heart just loves the final form of the card--I couldn't be more pleased. :o)
