Alex had his first half day at school yesterday and he was so excited. We were ready really early and he was impatient to be out of the house and getting there.
By all accounts he enjoyed it and loved wearing his school uniform and has bounced out of the house happy to be going full day today.
It was quite emotional for me seeing him in his school uniform looking so grown up; don't worry, I didn't disgrace myself by crying!
As it is Wednesday it is time for
WOYWW. Well truth to tell this is my home crafting desk late last night...I am currently sat at a completely empty desk at work because my office is due to be moving at somepoint this morning, although judging by the massively long list I am not going to move until this afternoon at the earliest! On my desk you can see various things that I was playing with while trying to plan out a diamond wedding card. These include some cuttlebug dies and embossing folders, flowers, doilies and a photograph of the couple.
Here is the completed card. It is for the Diamond Wedding of my work colleagues parents and I used shiney ribbon, Bazzil Bling cardstock (for the shimmer), doilies, white flowers and little diamonds. I am entering this card into
Kaboodle Doodles 'Lace, fabric or ric rac' (well a doily has a lace edge and a ribbon is fabric!),
Ooh La La 'anniversary',
Creative card crew 'anything goes',
papertake weekly 'anything goes' and
TioT 'monochrome' (I assume white on white with a black and white image counts as monochrome!).
As promised I also made another card for this weeks
Less is More metallic challenge. This time I stamped inkadinkado swirls in silver on my card, then embossed the butterfly with silver embossing powder, then punched some silver flowers, edged the card with silver ink and added lots of little diamond gems, which also look silvery. I am also entering this card into
Speedy the Cat's friends 'bling' challenge (well there are 15 little gems!). That is all from me for now. Have a great rest of the week everyone,
Love,
Caro
