A new dawn.....

And a new start!

Today is a very exciting one for me tinged with some sadness. The cards below are for my wonderful year 10 class, they have been absolute stars this year, producing some of the most amazing food I have ever seen from students! They are also possibly the most entertaining class I have taught, I look forward to seeing them every week! I have already said goodbye to my year 11’s who finished their exams a month ago, they were also an amazing, very talented class.

I finish at school today, not just for the summer, I’m not going back in September. That is the sad part, I will miss the students and and my colleagues very much.

Stamps : Greetings Eight
Inks: Stazon black
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Scallop Square punch, Paper piercer, Stampin’ Dimensional foam pads, Markers – Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Creamy Caramel, Bordering Blue, Apricot Appeal

However, the exciting part is the realisation of a plan I’ve had for almost 2 years, that I have worked so hard to achieve, my family have put up with me working day and night during the week and most weekends, building my Stampin’ Up! business, building my independent work for stores across the UK, my magazine work and gaining all sorts of other contracts. But I have achieved my goal.

I am now fully self employed as a crafter………..How cool is that ? ! ! ! ! !

I have so many projects to tell you about I am busting, but several are still a secret……..but not for too long now………I will share as soon as I can.

Happy Stampin’

Wow! Lucky you Amanda – being paid to make nice things instead of the usual 9-5! Hope you enjoy it!
