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!

Something Else on Saturday #262 Featuring Miss Anya Dress Up from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. This week I am sharing another birthday card for one of my work friends, whose birthday is during our summer holidays! I printed and coloured this image to look just like Jen and I hope she likes it! I used Miss Anya Dress Up and the dress, shoes and bag from the set as well. The sentiment I found in the patterned paper pad that I had completely forgotten I had! Amazing what you can find when you look in different places! LOL
