Something Else on Saturday #282 Featuring Clara from Cute Bee Digis

Good morning everyone and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday. It has been absolutely ages since I have posted anything on my blog other than my DT cards! I really need to get back into the swing of blogging, but I tend to spend my Sunday evenings planning lessons for school instead of blogging...but I have managed to use my Easter vacation time to get ahead on my planning, so my Sunday evenings should be free-ish for the next few weeks at least!

Anyway this week's card is one I made my for work colleague who left a couple of weeks ago. She has been my absolute rock for the past 18 months with the chaos that has been happening in our year group and I would not have coped without her! What will I do now?! She left as her contract was coming to an end and she had to find another permanent teaching post elsewhere 😞

Anyway.. here is Clara from Cute Bee Digis. I loved colouring all that gorgeous hair!
