Apple of my eye......

Hello everyone!! Today's post comes with some bittersweet!! This is my last post as a member of the Quick Creations DT. I have stepped down due to life taking over, things seem to get busier and busier around here. I thought it was best to take a break from all the teams to focus more on my family. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Noelle and Quick Creations , her shop will always be my first stop when looking for crafty goodies!!!

Ok, on to the fun part....:)  Today I used a stamp from CC Designs 'To Market'. 

I did some no-line coloring with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. The paper is Doodlebug Design 'Back to School'.  I also used some enamel dots from Echo Park 'Summer Party'.  

Hope this brings you some inspiration today!

Thank you Noelle for all you have done for me!! 

Until next time!

Blessings, 

Cindy
