And the lesson for today: Do not iron name tapes onto socks

My son’s sports kit arrived yesterday so I spent the evening ironing on name tapes ready for him to start his new school in September. I have learnt though that ironing on names to acrylic rugby socks will result in a big hole in said sock. Need to buy another pair.

Guest designer at Little Miss Muffet

I was delighted to win some Little Miss Muffet digis recent from their new range – I did it by showing the banner to the side. Then they asked me to guest design for their latest challenge “Neapolitan Ice Cream”. So here are the three cards I created or please look at the link above to see what the other designers came up with.

Here is a Card I made for the Promarker Colour Challenge. Don’t think I’ll win as there is a lovely one entered by Shell Swinscoe but this was my entry.

Summer is Here!

I say knowing that some of you will have been swimming in downpours again, but at least the sun shone periodically in Bristol today!

I (as a teacher) broke up from school yesterday as did my children and my eldest left his primary as he goes into Year 7 in September. We had a great village celebration and outdoor party and the children were appropriately wrecked today!

Anyway, on to cardmaking. I really need to buy this this stamp that I have seen. I might get it here but it is too cute and I think would be perfect for a “good luck in your new school” card for my boy. http://www.natalieandamy.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2082295-My-Boy.html Watch this space!!
