(by mid-August to early September my DT commitments will be reduced since I was recruited by an area assistant superintendent to teach 7th grade math for this new school year!!! My continuing DT commitments will stay with: HQCB, FQCB, FQGS, TFATU, CBCB, AACB, MTTC, and MTTCC.)
Such a lovely card Becca - love how you have mounted the focal panel and kept the background simple so as not to detract from it
