Checks Galore
We would like you to make a card using any type of check paper Ribbon or Brads, ect somewhere on the design.
I just love my new sugar nellie 'sweet & sassy' stamp, isn't she so cute. Check paper is DCWV as is the 'flower'. Autumn Leaves sentiment stamps. Cuttlebug 'traffic jam' embossing folder. Computer generated sentiment which says 'your friendship means so much....lets always keep in touch'
Yet another 'sweet & sassy' card, image coloured with distress inks & water pencils, added some glamour dust for a little bit of twinkle, papers are papermania, dcwv flower, autumn leaves sentiment stamps.

For the last few months I have been 'umming and arring' as to whether or not change my daughters school. We moved to this house 7 years ago and I didn't have the heart to change their schools then (silly me I know). Over the last few months the travelling has really got to me, I'm out of the house just under 3 hours a day on the school run. Their school is only 6 miles away but the traffic is horrendous. The school which they will be moving to is just at the top of our street. We went there this afternoon with Georgia & Yasmin to have a look around. We explained to the girls a few weeks ago about moving schools and they can't wait, Georgia loved visiting the school this afternoon, Yasmin was very quiet, poor thing. I on the other hand am feeling really down today, as I will miss everyone. I've been going back and for to that school since Tom was 3 (13 years now). I've so many friends there, not to mention Leigh. It not unusual for my friends and I to still be talking at the school gates at 10am, so I will miss that. Mind you with my new job I wouldn't be able to do that anymore, so it all makes sense to move. Sorry, I'm not with it at the mo, just typing away and not making much sense.
Anyway these two cards are for Georgia's friends, the top one is for her very best friend Leah, her mum Tracy is one of my closest friends too. Just a couple of friendship cards to say thanks and keep in touch. Got quite a few more cards to make for friends and teachers, so will have to try a make some time over the weekend to make some more. Hope you all have a lovely weekend, lets hope this awful wind and rain stops soon. xx vicki xx
