Ok, back to our - 'back to school' inspiration! 

Here is Stephanie's card and a little hello 

from her- 

I love embossing with the core'dinations cardstock it comes out awesome and for the school theme I used a number background embossing folder and then lightly sanded the cardstock.

For the stamp set I used It's A man's world and sweet alpha doodles.

For the Dp I used studio calico and then to finish off my card I used the gorgeous flower from petaloo and also added some timeless twine.

That's such a cute card Stephanie! LOVE~

And, then Kim is sharing with us today--- 

I love this card - and the cherry blossoms never looked 

so good!! A++
