Simply Scored for a challenge!

Not only is this week special nationally, but it's a special week in our house too!  I become the mother of a teenager which is awesome realising that my little girl is going to be 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The traits of a teenager are already emerging, (oh joy!) and the notable distaste for pink!  However when we went to Disneyworld at Easter I was thrilled to see her get this excited about Donald and Daisy Duck.

However the moment of thinking she was still just my little girl disappeared when only Olivia could turn wearing a Padawan, trainee Jedi cloak into a fashion show!!!!!!

And of course the exuberance of pending teenagerdom shone out..........!

In answer to her moving on to things more trendy and the days when Mum just causes embarrassment I have gone for a card with bling factor and hope that it will stand up to the criticism of teenagers! I've also acknowledged that her teenager status is shared with the Jubilee celebrations and so went for a  patriotic colour scheme.

Coincidentally it's fallen in  with the Less is More challenge of red, white and blue and so the initial version at the top is for them and the lower version is the finished product for my BIG little girl.

Hope you are enjoying your celebrations whatever they maybe..

Stampin' Up! Regional Training Projects

I can now safely share these make and take projects that demonstrators were given the materials for when they attended one of the Stampin' Up! regional training days over the past month.  The last one in Leeds, today, will almost have finished as I type and so I can share with you the fun projects and not spoil the surprise for those who hadn't yet attended. 

 A very pretty scrapbook page using the Twitterpated Papers from the Summer Mini.

A card made with the Blossom Punch and Mixed Bunch Stamp set

A mini milk carton gift holder again with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.
