Its holiday!

I'm back from camp. Had a fantastic time with the girls. It always amazes me to watch the girls during the challenges. Such perserverance and braveness. There is very little they won't do in order to support each other.
I started making this card before I left and only got to finish it a little while ago. I used the sketch from Little Paper Shop (http://littlepapershop.blogspot.com/ ) Hope I am not too late to enter the challenge. The papers are from my scrapbox. The ribbon is from my stash. Brads are by Enmarc. The Tilda was stamped image I recieved from a kind blogging friend last year and only coloured recently. I coloured her with my beloved Copics and cut her with my Nestabilities. I still need to get the hang of the Nestabilities - spot the mistake.
I am also entering it for the Creative Card Crew's going Dotty challenge.

The inside, showing all the tags for everybody to sign again.
This box was made a while ago from a template found online (I can't seem to find the link now, so if you know, please let me know so that I can give credit.) I had to adjust the size a bit, because the original size was too small for what I needed, I Love Bugaboo's images and just had to use it for the sick notes that I issue for the girls in my grade. I am a bit strict about the whole thing, so the image and sentiment was perfect!

Cardstock is Bazzil and the image was coloured with Copics. Ribbon is from my stash.
Hopefully I will get some more cards and a few scrapbook pages done during the holidays. I have every intention to post something every day for the next two weeks, lets hope I can stick to it.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

Has it been more than a week????

I can't believe it has been a whole week since my last post! But, come to think of it, I am so tired it feels like more than a week since I have slept. LOL I have got a horrible head cold, so my breathing is really bad at the moment.
I have been very busy at school with tests, new grade 10's that need to learn how my head works (or doesn't work) prize giving etc. etc. Then of course there is never a dull moment at a school. Always something happening.
I have also been asked by a friend to make invitations for her BF's birthday party. He is turning 46 or something like that. Made her two samples and gave them to her two weeks ago so that he could decide which one he wanted. She arrives at my house last Monday to tell me which one and then proceeds to tell me she needs 70 invitations (Who invites 140 people to his 46th birthday party?) and can she please pick them up on Thursday. I hardly slept, but they are finished. Phones me the next day to ask me to make 140 place mats and 140 place cards for the party on the 13th of Feb. I am almost done, but don't think I want to see another piece of black cardstock as long as I live. Worst part is, I am not even getting paid for this one - at least she is paying for the materials. Don't ask - I offered, not thinking it would be such a big job.
I found the most wonderful site with digi images. It is called Bugaboo. Just the name makes me smile. She does the most wonderful images for 'old' people like my friends and I. I used one of them on this card. Don't you just love the image and the sentiment?
Cardstock is Bazzil and the papers are My Minds Eye. The image was coloured with my Copics. The inside has tags as usual, because it is for somebody in the Birthday club.

Hopefully things will slowly start to calm down and then I will post more regularly.
Please remember my blogging friend Lynette and her son Wynand in your prayers.
