Hello blogworld
So that's it Year Reception all over and done and dusted for my little Emily - now we have the summer holidays before I have to think about her going on up to Year 1, properly 'at school' not learning through play anymore!
She was very good, up until bedtime anyway!! Poor thing was tripped up by her best friend yesterday and sent home early from school with a lump the size of an egg on her forehead and managed to bash it again when I was washing her hair tonight. Such wailing! School told us how the accident happened, but she wouldn't drop her friend in it at all - absolutely insisted that he had nothing to do with it!
Right I'm aiming on an early night so I'll pop up the card and the final version of the flower bouquet then I'm off to bed.
I know I've got loads of comments to reply to, I'm catching up on my DT comments and then starting on personal comments - so I should be round to visit you all before the end of the weekend. Thanks for all your patience and hopefully I'll be better soon.
Oh and hello to my newest follower - thanks for following and hope you see something you like!

I ended up making three of these, but they were all the same so I didn't see the point of showing all of them. Thank you all for your suggestions they were very helpful. As you can see, I dropped the butterfly, green tissue paper wrapping and added the green base of the flowers and used 3 blooms in the posy. They were very well received!!
So look out for me waffling on your blogs soon!

Hello Sarah,
Your card is gorgeous, I love the image ( well it is LOTV so I would!. The way you have scattered the buttons and pearls looks really effective.
The flowers are so pretty too, I bet Emily enjoyed handing them out.
Bye for now..

Sorry Sarah, forgot to say love your gorgeous flower bouquet too, such a lovely idea.

The bouquets have worked out beautifully, haven't they? So pretty - I bet Emily's teacher were delighted with them. The card is gorgeous, too. I love the colours. Sorry to hear that Emily has bumped her head; I've got a photo of Gregor when he was little which shows a huge bruise on his forehead after he'd bumped into the table. I was convinced for days that social services were going to come knocking! Hugs, Tracey x
Absolutely gorgeous Sarah!
Hope you had that early night. I was having one of them too. It appears to have failed so far...

Love the beautiful card Sarah..it is so fun and cheery. And that bouquet is simply gorgeous! Loving all of those colours :D
Reception all over! Scary isn't it! caleb has 3 days left of reception he wants to go to year 1 now! I love your card and the flowers so cute! Sorry to hear about Emily's bump, Caleb got one on the back of his head yesterday too!
Hugs rebekah xx
Great card, love the bouquets! How fun. Your coloring is beautiful!
Hope your little one heals fast, poor baby.
Hop[e Emily heals quickly! I am dying to see the complete inside of the card. Little Miss C goes up to First Grade in September, as well.
Her printing just cracks me up. She is a good student but her printin is crazy! They do not stress straight lines or printing all the letters the same size here.
The emphasis is on being creative, spelling phoenectically (sp??!!)
and being creative.
I am old...I grew up with penmanship lessons, etc. My writing has become atrocious over the years...but at one time it was just fine.
I wondered what the printing expectation style in England is for Kindies...I'm just nosy like that.
Beautiful card Sarah. Love pastels colours on your cards. So lovely and gentle.
Hugs
