Hi, it's Katie again, from Crafting with Katie. Before I start, I want to thank all of you for your welcomes and sweet comments yesterday. You made my day! Today I have a fun project to share with you that I made for my incoming students. It's a back-to-school postcard that I plan to mail the week before school starts, welcoming each child to my classroom! If you're not a teacher, no worries. Any child would love to receive a card like this from a mom, grandma, aunt, etc. on that special first day of school, or it could even make a great card for a teacher!
Be sure to stop by my blog today. I have another sneak peek of one of the My Creative Time stamp sets that is being released this Friday, AND Emma has donated the My Creative Time "My One and Only" stamp set shown below for me to give away. Leave a comment on my blog for a chance to win!
