Meeting My Teacher

Hello and Happy Friday!!! I can not believe that it is almost September. The weather this week has been beautiful. I have been walking for miles everyday and enjoyed every step. I would much rather be outside walking than on a tredmill and this wonderful weather has been an added bonus.

This week the challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is "Back To School". I am late posting this card I created. There is  still plenty of time for you to come play with us. I am sure back to school is on a lot of minds these days. For me it means back to work for me. My family looks at it differently. They aren't looking forward to having the buses on the roads again stopping at almost every other house. They walked to the end of the street to get the bus when they were young, to hear them talk they walked a mile unlike the kids now, hehe.

I decided that this digi from MayzyArt would be the perfect with this great school 8x8 paper pack for $5.00 that I found at Michaels. It was a great deal on clearance and the pack was loaded with lots of sheets. It afforded me the luxury of cutting up some of the sheets for the apple, busses, pencils, the popped up parts of 2nd grade and the letter strip at the top. I can't remember the last time I cut so much out!
