Alex is hyper excited as yesterday and today he went to a 'Big Boy' holiday club instead of nursery. He absolutely loved it and was so happy to be going back again today. He also moved from his old car seat into a 'Big Boy' car seat which he is really proud about. He so can't wait to start school next week...I don't know where those past years have gone. My little boy is all ready for school, that is for sure! I hope he likes it as much as he thinks he will!
He is still missing his cousin Daniel at the moment so he drew him this picture. It is the best picture he has ever drawn so it is a shame that I am not allowed to keep it LOL! He attempted to draw the relevant letters above each person and then drew birds in the sky (the brown lines) as well as the sun.
For my workdesk today (as part of
WOYWW), you can see my trusty craft mat, craft knife and DST as well as the card I have just finished, one of my peel off boxes, various bits of patterned paper and a punch hiding in the background. The noticeable absentee is my trusty mug of tea...that is because my darling husband has gone down to the kitchen to get me a refill!
This is the card, which was made following this weeks
CCT sketch, and used my first ever Meljen;s image (that book worm is so cute!) so fits with
Meljens challenge. It also fits with the
cards for men 'G is for....green',
The Crazy Challenge 'New' (in this case, a new school),
Creative Card Crew 'anything goes' and
stamp something 'back to school' challenges.
I also made another entry for this weeks
Less is More challenge which was to combine 3 past challenges. This time an all white congratulations card for my distant cousin who is getting married this weekend. The 3 past challenges I chose were 13: Congratulations, 14:White on white, 15: embossing, & 25: Ribbon. This card also fits with
MTTC 'flowers' challenge. Unfortunately my camera struggled with the white on white so I hope you can make it out. That is all from me for today. Have a great rest of the week everyone.
Love,
Caro

Looks like you have a talented son! Love your cards.
Your son will be fine, maybe tired at first but he'll soon cope. What about you though?? You'll be ok and will soon fill up your daytime hours. As I used to work in a Reception class as a TA I know that they all get there in the end - some will seem to zoom away, some take their time!! Hugs, LLJ xx
Two lovely cards, great fun image and very elegant white on white.
OMG... mine is turning two and I feel like school will be here before I know it! I'm not ready...Love the bookworm and the papers you used for CCT sketch! Thanks for joining the anything goes challenge with the Creative Card Crew. Hope to see you next challenge.
