Sweet Cakes

My February DT kit from Sarah's Cards was this fab range of papers from Pink Paislee.

I haven't yet got around to scrapping any of holiday photos from last September, most of them are still waiting to be edited!! But these photos of one of the pools at the hotel in the early evening were perfect for these papers so I printed 'em off and scrapped away :)My sister's friends are busy raising money for a cancer charity and had a ladies night in January as one of their events. It was nice to have a photo of Gems, my sister and I that was actually scrappable lol, and the bright girly papers echoed the fun we had on the night!

I loved playing with the decorative tape you can just see in the right of the bottom of the page. you know how I love layering papers and embellies in long strips so this was right up my street lol!!!

Well, teaching practice is nearly over for this year, will report back soon how my final day went and whether I cried or not!!!

Cool Rider

We got miss Ellie a bike for Christmas, but the weather has been so stinky she couldn't take it out for ages :( and had to spend her days maneuvering it back and for across her living room!!!

So mid-February we actually had a lovely fresh and sunny day that was fit for cycling! We packed the bike in the car and headed down to the Mumbles, and had a great time!

I used one of the photos I took to make a page with some of the papers and chipaboard Caroline at Bubblyfunk had sent me to play with.I also used the same papers to scrap some well overdue photos from her second birthday. Glad I waited though as these papers were a perfect match for the soft play centre where she had her party! Catch you soon :) xxx

Mother's Day

Aww it was Mother's Day yesterday. I love my mum so much, and this year I am especially thankful to be able to call such a strong, caring, inspirational and wonderful woman my mother. She is always there for me and has helped me through the toughest of times. Love you mum.

I made her this card, and the mini wall hanging I shared a few posts ago. I wish I could buy my mum the world, but until then, I think little handmade and heart felt gifts like this show her just how much she means to me.

Hope all the mummy's out there had a lovely day xxx

It's alive!!!!!

Yup, I'm still alive and kicking, much to your disappointment I'm sure!

Been very busy over the last few weeks on teaching practice! I have had an absolutely wonderful time, and I've been lucky to have another class of absolute angels again this year! It has been so good in fact that I am now totally undecided on whether in specialise in KS2(juniors) as I'd always expected, or the new Foundation Phase (infants). Decision decisions. Just one week left with them now, but all my observations are over and I've passed this year so the pressure is off a little now and we are planning a fun fun fun Science week all next week before I leave!

As it's been so long since I last posted, I have lots of scrapbook pages stored up that I haven't shared, so I'll leave you some more that I created for Sarah's cards using the lovely Crate Paper Prudence range.

The little scalloped tag pulls out to reveal note paper with my journalling jotted on it. And my other page, with a lovely little picture of lil stinky on it!!
Catch you soon - hopefully my life will be returning to normality in seven days lol! xxx
