The wondrous glow of childhood

Phewww, that was a blog break wasn't it? *smile*

With so much happening here about school, kids, work, our basement flooding because the sump pump died in the thunderstorm we had and, and, and, ...my crafting time went on the back burner!

I thought I'd post this card I made a few weeks ago to hold your interest though..is it working? *chuckle*

I found this scrap of PP in my stash and have no idea who makes it, but it made me want to pair terracotta tile and spring moss together, along with this adorable clear stamp of a boy holding flowers by FCD. His expression is so sweet, isn't it? I misted him with two different shades of Glimmer Mist to give him a touch of color, Golden Terra Cotta, and Twilight.

I stamped a perfect fall quote behind him that reads: 

Could there be anything we know

that could evoke the wondrous glow

of childhood more than trampling leaves?

How clearly, then, the soul perceives

amid the miracle of fall,

that we are children, one and all.

That stamp comes from FCD too, in their fall quotes set. The poem is by Jean S. Platt. I just love it because it's so true! I enjoy playing in the leaves with my boys when Autumn rolls around.

Thanks for stopping by today, hugs all around!
