Smile You Did It!


Today I'm at the Newton's Nook blog and I have a video featuring this fun Distress Ink technique and this adorable owl from Newton's Nook Sweetheart Tails.


I'm such a big fan of using a rainbow of colors and I love how it really shines with all the white space. On a personal note. This is the first week of school with my kindergarteners. So exciting but tiring! I admit I'm using liberal amount of coffee to bridge the gap between my summer schedule and my school schedule.
