Papertrey Ink MIM #251 - Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts and CASology #200


Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. I spent some time in my craft room, doing more cleaning than anything else...once I got started I decided to whip up a card for this week's PTI - Make It Monday. I pulled out some of the watercolor pens and got to work, this was so much fun and pretty quick too. I am also entering my card in this week's challenge at CASology #200 as well. 
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend.



Wanted to share a few photos of my preschool class...we had our year end Celebration on Friday. We had a blast and they all looked so sweet dressed up! 
 Waiting to head to the church for our program
So proud of all these little sweeties!


We had a blast too!!!

  20. I wouldn't have thought of doing that with die cut, Kim guess you coloured the card then cut it.. great work!
    what a mixture of cultures there in those photos Kim, how precious are these little ones in the eyes of the LORD too, as well as those who have the privilege of teaching them like yourself.
    Thanks so much for the inspiration.
