New Beginnings at ALLSORTS

Happy weekend everyone!
We've got a wedding to go to,so I hope the sun shines.
xXx
Wow what beautiful creations there were for Helene's garden/park theme.
This week it's Deb's turn to set the challenge and she'd like to see
"NEW BEGINNINGS"
xXx
Mackenzie goes back to school on Monday :-(
This is always a bittersweet moment, because although it's good to get back to some sort of routine I do so miss her when she's at school ~ I'm already welling up just writing this,
good job I've not done my make up yet LOL
I can't believe she's moving up to to Key Stage 2,
It doesn't seem 5 minute's since she was starting nursery!
So I've made her a card.
xXx
xXx
I have used:
LOTV ~ Back to School Girl
Cats Life Press ~ Calendar
SU Punch ~ Spiral
Woodware Punch ~ Large Scallop Circle
Basic Grey ~ Kraft Paper
Su Stamp ~ Apple from "countryside set"
Tim Holtz ~ Distress inks
Small peice of dowel, sharpened and dipped in black Staze on for pencil
Rub ons, Staples, Paperclips, Ribbon, Buttons and Metal tag ~ All from stash
xXx
Thanks for looking and remember we have a "PUNCHY" new challenge & extended DT call over at
PENNY BLACK AT ALLSORTS
I would also like to enter the following
Fussy & Fancy Friday ~ Back to school

Lovely card and I LOVE your image - Mackenzie will be fine going back to school and she'll soon be back home at the end of the day, bursting with news!

Enjoy your wedding today - hope the weather's great for the bride, groom and guests.

Oh Fleur how gorgeous, Mackenzie will love it I bet! I love all of it, the little cutie image, the calendar (drool), and all the little extra finishing touches. I feel the same about Monday, we all need routine but a touch apprehensive too. All change in our house next week - Joshua starting Key stage two, Callum starting reception and Jasmine starting playschool!
See you soon

Fleur - such a beautiful card that I can just see as a fab scrapbook page - don't forget that photo on Monday morning - I have John standing by the front door over the years and it's the fact that the last blazer we bought had growing room - guess what? it doesn't have it anymore !!! the years fly by too quickly - Bxxx

Hi Fleur, Wow this is a fab card! I love the cute image and the pencil. Mackenzie is going to love it!

I hope she has a good day back at school today. My two are also going back and yesterday they seemed a little apprehensive about going into new classes. However, I am sure they will be fine and have a great time catching up with their friends.

I also feel sad when school starts again after the summer because I love having them with me. We will have to have a crafty day to keep our minds off it :o)
