Orange Zest!

I just love this Orange Zest and I wouldn't even consider orange to be a favorite color of mine! Just makes for some fun and cheery cards!


Well, I'm off to my classroom. It needs some major work and since my sister-in-law volunteered to come help me today (love her!!) I figured I'd take advantage of the extra hands. Besides that, it's raining out so I might as well get some inside things done!

Have a great day!

This card is wonderful! I have orange zest on its way to my house today! Can't wait to see it! You could make a bunch of these to have in your drawer at school! Then you'll always have a card ready for someone when they need it!

Since I'm obviously working my way 'backwards' through my Google Reader...you just had to go and use Dotti Biscotti on another card, didn't you? I absolutely love these little flowers...and the flourish behind them is a great 'grounding' element.

Such a fun whimsical card! Love the flourish behind the flowers and the way you doubled up the flowers! The scoring on the side of the card adds the perfect touch!
