Good afternoon to you all! Its a bit later than I intended to post this but I've just been doing battle with the holiday washing pile and also had to go and do the weekly shop! I can't begin to think about he garden but that will be the next big thing on the list!
Are you all well? I hope so! I feel very refreshed after a sleep in my own bed - its so nice to go on holiday but isn't it always lovely to get back to your own bed?
Well today I've got two cards to share with you - both on the same theme - back to school! My little monkies will both be going to school this week - Lucy starts back on Tuesday and Penny will be starting school on Friday! They are both very excited - and since they're going to the very small school in the village will both actually be in the same class for a whole year! Anyway - here are the cards - both using Mo images - but again pretty basic as they were made on holiday!
The top one is for Penny because the image just reminds me of her! The bottom one is for Lucy - and both have their school uniform colours!
I'd like to enter these cards for the following challenges:
Back to school:lexiscreations
Back to school:digistamps4joy-sa
Going Dotty: joannasheenchallenge
Back to school: fussyandfancychallenge
Back to school: disdigidesignschallenge
Before I go i'd like to share a picture from my holidays with you:
This is Lucy with Paddingtom Bear - we met him at Lands End on Thursday - and as you can see - he has a big marmalade sandwich in his paw!!!
Hope you have a fabulous Sunday - I'm starting to catch up with your blogs - but please give me chance to pop around - I will get there in the end!
Big Hugs!

ReplyDeletetwo great makes, glad you had a good holiday! love the paddington bear photo! trace x
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, both cards are so lovely, the girls will be thrilled to give them to their teacher. How nice for them to be in the same class too, my big Brother and I were for one year - I loved it, he hated it but we were quite a lot older and was not great for his street cred........good luck to your little ones on their first day. Crafty hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, sounds like you had a wonderful time! My family have always thought it funny that we love coming back home after a trip. I think you can't beat fresh bedding and your own bed! Very cute cards - perfect for your lovely young ones! Karen x
