The Lost Card...

Here's the missing card from yesterdays class post...

Thought I'd share this pic of my gorgeous gappy daughter! Can't wait to get some time to scrap it. It was one of thoe improptu clicks resulting in a pic I love. We're loving asking her anything with the answer "yes" at the moment just to hear her saying "yeth"!!!! Are we cruel parents?

On another note I've been BAD this mornin...ordered a load of "Imagination Project" papers from papermaze...like I needed more patterened papers but they are stunning and they were in the clearance section. What's a girl to do! Can't wait til they arrive. I'm so impatient when I order anything, I just want it there and then. Here's the link for the site for anyone who I've not raved to about it already - the clearance section is always a must see...

Playing with Bears!

Here (finally) are the cards from yesterdays class! We used the "Especially For You" Forever Friends card kit from Do Crafts and it's brilliant! It wasn't until I started using it I realised how much was in it. I made all these and still have loads of the kit left...
this one says "Mummys wee sweetie!"...

Not quite sure why this uploaded on its side, I'll get the hang of this eventually. If you can turn your head to one side this one is A5 size with a strip chopped off the front, then I've used a 4" square blank back to front on the other side (so it opens the opposite way) for a different take on a gatefold...

this one I think is my favourite, It's A6 size and opens at the end...

Think I've gone a bit overboard on the samples this week but once I started using this kit I couldn't stop. Hopefully we'll get some different ones soon, I'll definately be buying if we do!

(Just noticed that I've missed one, but they're taking half an hour each to upload thanks to my dire mobile internet connection so will upload it later!)

Hope your all enjoying the sunshine, scrapping in the garden with a pear cider should be compulsary in this weather...

NOTE TO SELF

Ok , lesson well and truly learned, always proof read at very least the title!! Days of or lives? I think not! Try Days of Our Lives!!!!! DOH!!!!!

Like sand through the hour glass, so are the DAYS OF OR LIVES

Ok, I admit I love watching American Trash! I am embarassed to admit that 2 of the most watched Sky channels are Zone Romantica & Diva TV. I love that you can miss Days of Our Lives for 3 months and still know whats going on. Proper switch your brain off television.

This is all sounding a bit random but there is method to my mad ranting! This week is the last week of term...already! My daughters second year at school is coming to an end, and I'm not too sure when my baby grew up! Our primary school has a burn through the middle (yes, you read that right, a burn!!) so the passing from infant school to the upper primary school is marked by a crossing of the bridge and that bridge crossing has come all too soon for me, so indeed like sand through the hour glass...

With the end of term comes the obligatory making of teachers presents, feel like I only just got the Christmas ones out! I have to confess though we cheated a little then. Bought some fab big pretty jars filled with boiled sweets (in the shape of Christmas trees no less!) which we covered with some gorgeous pink rough fibre fabric stuff (LOL dire description but you will see, it's very hard to describe!), some big flowers, buttons and, of course, ribbon!

As for this terms pressies, Daisy has had her Detective's hat on and I have a list of favourite colours to work from so projects are a go and I'll upload the finished articles when they've been handed out (you never know who's blog hopping!)

Right, now where's that Sky remote...

So thought I'd have a go at posting my very first picture on the blog! Scary stuff, but igured the sooner I tried the sooner I get to grips with it! So here goes.....


woo hoo! it worked. My lovely little Daisy chose the papers for this project, they are from the "All Dressed Up" Collection (DCWV). This was a pressie for her beloved Auntie Linseys 20th Birthday, who loved it !
