A FS Challenge and some west coast beauty!

Well I made it through the first day of K! I shed some tears and braved the mommy face for my boy but I tell you it was really hard walking home after that. I even had some of the local moms (my friends) poking fun at me "the new school mom" as I walked by them. His first day was good but I had to laugh when he came out of the classroom confessing "I was good for most of the time mom but I didn't listen at the end!" *lol*
I too had a new school year in full swing today. As many of you know, I am an online school teacher so I had the pleasure of talking with many of my families today, setting up their curriculum purchases and creating their learning plans. Not a lot of time for crafting today but enough time to download my vacation photos and upload my card as well as some recent photos of my west coast oasis!

I created this card for the FS Challenge on SCS. The original card by Heather
was the inspiration for this card. I choose to change the colour and ribbon along with stamp set. I am pleased with how it turned out. I absolutely LOVE this set Nichole!!!!

They made me do it....

A while back I left a comment on Beate's blog telling her how she and Jenn Balcer MADE ME purchase Fabulous Flowers. Those enabling ladies do AMAZING THINGS what that set. So of course I could hardly wait to play with it. I was lucky enough to find just the right dirty dare challenges for it too! I LOVE the colour combo and of course the stamp set.
