Now peace is what those sweet little kinders I am working with need. We have a couple in school that have cried every day. Several others keep asking when it is time to go home. This is the first year in my district where kindergartners go all day with the rest of the elementary students! I'll dedicate this card to them and maybe even bring it into class tomorrow!
I'll have to put my thinking cap on and see what I can make in honor of the first grade students I work with because they are just as special!
Don't forget to head over to Sue's blog to see what she has done with today's fabulous set!

Poor little ones - they need time to be children too and the current education systems seem to forget this. I love what you have done with the set and hope you and the children find peace this week.
Very cool way to showcase this stamp set. Love the symbol used as the bg and the koi fussy cut.
I like how you used the yin yang symbol as the background to the koi. Very nice card.
I like the use of repetition on your card. Those koi will be great images for lots of cards.
Thanks for sharing your talents!

I worked in Kindergarten for 7 years. Miss those days. My daughter is interning in Kindergarten and she loves it. Hopes to get her own class room some day. Love the peacefulness of your card.
I love how you did the big Yin and Yang as your background!!! Lovely card.
Like how you made your own background with wonderful repeated stamping.

A very cute card, I love how you used the Yin and Yang.
Hope your little kinders get adjusted soon. It is hard for them to go all day.
Beautiful card. Praying for peace for the little ones and for you.
Great idea using the yin/yang as the background to your koi!
Toni,
Very pretty card and I like how you've used the yin/yang symbol in the BG! My sister (who is 5 years older than I am) told me I cried the first day of school at kindergarten, but that my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Gillard, took the class and walked us to and in each and every classroom at school to show us the "big" kids and books and materials they used. Also, as kindergartners, we didn't wear uniforms as the 1st-8th grade students did (and I wanted a uniform). (Little did I know that I would be wearing uniforms all through grade school and high school). From that day on, I never cried and wanted to get to be one of the big kids to have all their neat books, supplies and uniforms.
Love how you used the different stamps1
Love the yin yang background Great choice
Awwww! Beautiful card! I am so sorry the Kindergartners are struggling! It was all day for my kids and I hated it! I still think they are babies in Kindergarten! Your students are so lucky to have such a special teacher!
Beautiful card. I love how you created the background with the yin and yang symbol. Gorgeous fish too.
I like it. I haven't seen anyone use the yin and yang stamp so far. Great way to showcase this fun stamp set.
Cute fish with the addition of the Yin, Yang image!
Great use of that stamp set...I like the turquoise and orange color combo :)
Oh how pretty. Love teh colors.
