chloe's first day at School

even though this is chloes 2nd school uniform she is still starting school, (her 1st uniform was for nursery school at age 3 in england and it was red) Here in Scotland they dont have a uniform for nursery just like they dont do reception and technichly dont start nursery till they're 4.
So chloe is in P1 which stands for 'primary' and not year 1, Year one i believe is secendory school so instead of year 7 in secondry school its year 1, very weird i know.
back to chloe.....
she was very excited about starting p1 and loves school, she has not yet done a full day as they are easing them into the process slowly so she hasn't even had lunch there. she has a big back pack already which she also loves. so thankfully for me chloe is very happy at school, and natalie is now back at nursery without chloe this year and she too is very happy to be back!

happy birthday princess (lauren)

This was for my younger friend lauren who is now 12!
She is the only girl in her fam she has 3 brothers so I thought it would be nice to give her a princess card.
Once again I got this idea out of my mag and did what I needed to to make it how I wanted it, like with the tiara which im quite chuffed about!

smile (red,black and white)

This card was an experimental card, I was just playing around with my stamps, I love how it came out. I also had a little inspiration from a crafter called Dawn Bibby in my magazine.


I ended up giving it to my friend chloe (as she kept her birthday quiet and didnt get a handmade card from me) I made her sister a birthday card so instead of giving chloe a birthday card a month later she had this smile one, and well its not a card exactly so i added a photo stand to the back so she can always remember to smile :)

my gappy daughter

chloe's first baby tooth came out today she was a bit shocked that it had actually happened. she'd been waiting for so long and prob didnt think it would happen and i guess she didnt quite no what to expect. when she had a look in the mirror she started to get upset that there was a blood patch where her tooth had been and got really upset, panicked and cried until i said to go put her tooth in her pixie for the toothfairy tonight so all is good again! well paul has taken all my cash out the house so now i need to go to the shop to get some more :/ other wise we'll have more tears in the morning! and now to wait for the one next to it to come out!

Shoe card

This card is not my ownn idea it came from my mag again, I made it for a friend who loves her high healed shoes. I hav'nt given it to her yet so I dont know what she'll think, hopefully she'll like it.

I did however have to draw out the shoe so hopefully it looks like a decent shoe lol.

pink n black happy birthday

Theses papers my sister in law Janice gave me and I love them but I'm not so keen on the actual card. I was running out of time as to what I could do so this is how it turned out, although I do like how I put the stamps together in the bottom right corner.

Sports Day

The girls really enjoyed their sports day, they'd been looking forward to it for ages and practicing in the back garden! they receieved a sticker after each race they took part in and they loved their certificates and medals they received at the end. They even held a toddler race that daniel took part in and won he he.

loch ness

When our friends came to visit us we of course went and did a tourist thing! The Loch Ness! It was lovely. We all went on a boat ride on a section of the loch. The screen they had on the boat showed you where abouts you were on the boat and showed how deep it went, (this wasnt the deepest it went, I think it was around 1200 and something ft deep where we were) it would also show any major activity that might be going on i.e the loch ness monster, but nothing happened for us so the mystery still remains!

The kids enjoyed every minute of it!
