School's out for the Summer!! Woohoo!!

Yay! Finished school today for 7 weeks-passed my NQT year! Good feeling but I am exhausted! Just sat down to watch Big Brother and update blog as just had to make three cards, two anniversary and one engagement. Thought I'd share them with you. Here is the card that I have made for Steven's best friend Simon who got engaged to his girlfriend, now fiance(!), a few weeks ago. They are having an engagement party so we are going round tomorrow night with card and bottle of champers! His fiance has asked me for some help with the planning....what a silly question to ask! Loving planning my wedding so someone elses, that I'm not paying for, will be even better! Lol! I've used a fab Dottie and George image, already coloured in, with some papers that I have had in my box for ages! Quite simple really, had to use peel-offs for greeting as haven't got a stamp with engagement on, but I think it looks ok.

The next card I made was for Steven's Mum and Dad for their wedding anniversary, which is actually today! Oops-think we have got away with it though as they have been on holiday and only got back today so will pop round tomorrow with their card and pressie! Similar design to the other card as I really liked the design and colours-what do you think?

Final one is for Steven's brother and sister-in-law, whose wedding anniversary is on the 21st July! Love this image of Dottie and George under the umbrella-so cute! Bit of a simple card but sometimes I like just a quick simple card, sometimes look better than ones I take ages on! Lol!

Well, hoping to take part in a few challenges over the weekend. Got a few bits and pieces to do over the weekend, got to go and clean up classroom on Monday-so haven't quite escaped yet!-and then going down to Horsham on Thursday for my Uncle's wedding which I'm looking forward to! So pleased to have some time to do whatever I want rather than focusing on school work all the time! Thanks for looking everyone!xx

Four challenges!

I'm back!! Woohoo-back to the world of challenges! Enjoyed making these cards and completing the challenges so much-must dedicate some time to doing this in school time! Not the best cards I have ever made but need to get back into the swing of things-that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Here is my entry for Sketch Saturday and Cute Card Thursday. I loved this sketch from Sketch Saturday and I also took on the optional challenge of red, white and blue to celebrate independence day. Over on Cute Card Thursday the challenge was stitching! Real or faux-I chose faux, not very good with a needle and thread anymore! Really like this image of Edwin, very cool!


Below is my entry for Papertake Weekly Challenge-cutting it extremely fine, the night before! I have also combined it with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge which again was red, white and blue to celebrate Independence Day! Not too sure about this one-think I should've used some patterned paper instead of the silver as it looks a bit too plain...will use the sketch again though! Love this little Penny Black puppy too-sooo cute!

Have really enjoyed making these cards and taking part in the challenges again. Hopefully I will be back into blogland on a regular basis now! Am really loving being back! (Sorry for the poor photos-was in a bit of rush taking them earlier!) Thanks for looking!xx

Blog Makeover!

Had a bit of a makeover-what do you reckon? Not too sure at the min-keep changing my mind! Hehe! Must go and catch up on all the challenges, might even be able to start them before school breaks up! You never know! Let me know what you think of the new look!xx
