On your retirement.....

Well where do I begin - week from hell over and happy happy happy - as Lewis and I are sat chilling watching a movie together.... Eleanor at a party sleepover and John with clients at the Open golf in Lymm......spoke to Tiger Woods and got a nice photo for Lewis :0)

Today's card is for a lady who is retiring from teaching after 40 years ......wow - what a lot of children !!

Backing papers I had in my stash and can't remember where I bought it..., the ribbon is from Head Ladybug Kerry and the image Meljen's Design.....

My baby girl is 11 !!

It was Eleanor's 11th birthday on Friday - time flies by doesn't it ??

I asked a friend to make a cake plus cupcakes using Jack Wills colours - she certainly did a fantastic job - what do you think ??


Eleanor seems to have grown up so quickly in the last twelve months and when I saw this digital image at LCI I knew it suited her down to the ground.

a combination of everything ....




Celeste, my Burmese cat, decided to help - don't think
she was impressed !!!




Backing paper - Nitwits

I've lost a follower :(

..... and the sad thing is I don't know who.....I thought it was Kerry but she is on my second page (what an acheivement !!!!)
I wanted a larger image of this stamp I had so I stamped it, scanned it in and inserted it into Word and made it bigger - how cool !!!

....and for the very first time EVER I paper pieced and loved the result.

The papers I used were digital papers from Pink Petticoat, LCI Nikki image, ribbon and bling from stash.
