End of an Era!

Hello there! Hope you are enjoying my scheduled posts. Make sure you don't miss out on my competition whilst I am away to win a gift from Convention - full details are at the bottom of this post.

Last week my son's Headteacher left the primary school after 9 fantastic years! She has been there from the same time as when Ross started (he left 3 years ago) so has almost seen both my boys through primary school. Evan will have one last year without her! I have to say she has been fantastic so I just had to spend time on a special card even though I was pushed for time before my trip!


I used a set that I could never bear to part with! I usually get rid of all my old sets but this one is a "keeper" for me! The colours of the card are based on the school colours. I didnt want to make a Happy Retirement card but I wanted a Thank You card as I have a lot to thank Mrs Howard for!


I spent ages making the little pupils, drawing the school jumpers on manually and creating different characters! 


The gorgeous ribbon is the new Crushed Curry chevron ribbon which I am loving and it matched the school colours perfectly.


Please let me know what you think about my special card - do you miss this set?

Now onto the competition reminder!

  2. Julie, as a teacher I would love to receive this card....it's just gorgeous and so whimsical. I don't have that stamp set, but wish I had purchased it before it retired! Glad you are enjoying your well deserved trip. I have been following your posts on facebook. Cheers Donna Z :) from Australia
