Thursday Morning and Back to School and some stamps for Sale

Im up early this morning, getting ready for the school run. Back to school, can you believe it, where did the six weeks holidays go? Its dark, miserable and windy today and no doubt raining by the time i leave for school, some things never change!

I have to say my daughter is looking very smart in her new uniform, best i take some photos as it will go downhill from now on!

I hope you are all having a good week and for those of you with children starting school for the first time today, im sending big hugs!!! i know its an emotional time for us mums when this happens! Seeing our babies leave the fold is very hard, especially if its your last baby! Im going through an emotional time myself, seeing all my babies grow up and becoming more and more independent, i feel as though ive been made redundant!

I have made a couple of cards over the lat couple of days, the first one is an anniversary card. I love this Rachelle Miller image. If anyone is interested i am actually selling the stamp ive used please email me here if you are interested.

I adore these papers but i can not for the life of me think where they come from!! using my pro-markers to colour in, and can't wait to get my new colours later this month!

Then a birthday card, using this adorable funky kits stamp, again i am selling this stamp so email me if you are interested. Papers are 'Olivia' from Making Memories. I adore this paper stack.
This is available from http://www.craftie-charlie.co.uk/ along with loads of other gorgeous paper stacks from MM. I have to say these papers sure do rival the qualtiy of Basic Grey another one of my favourites!


Found this gorgeous organza heart ribbon made by Gisela Graham, isn't it stunning? must get back to the shop in Chelmsford to see if they have any more!


STAMPS FOR SALE - SOLD NOW SORRY

I am continuing to clear some of the stamps i brought last year ready for new purchases this year! i already have my eye on the new releases coming from the ever talented Paula from pollycraft. They are look fabulous. However, even i realize you can only use so many stamps, with so little time, so i have decided to part with this woodland Elves. I would be happy to sell the whole collection together or separately. If you are interested please email me and make me an offer. Email at
littlepopits@aol.com
I also have alot of the Rachelle Miller earlier stamps for sale and cuddly buddly and paper pretties. I am open for offers on these. There are pictures on earlier posts.








Hope you all have a wonderful day and will look forward to speaking again later. Hugs Linda x

Hi Linda
Beautiful cards! The name of those gorgeous papers you used is Vintage Hip Collection - Gracen, from Making Memories. I still have a few pages left in a 6x6 pad I bought years ago - I love them too!

Gorgeous cards Linda!!! Your papers matched the stamps perfectly. As for sending those little ones off to school, I remember when my youngest started I cried my eyes out when I left him, I went home & didn't know what to do with myself. Now they are 24 & 21 & on their own, I'm doing the empty nest thing but loving being a Grandma:) Rewards are in everything, just enjoy all of those special moments when they're in school:)

Hugs,
Wanda
