Two posts in one day!!! Wow...this is unusual for me but as it is absolutely pouring it down every few minutes there is nothing for me to do except watch a pile of clothes that need ironing or wait until the house is empty to indulge in my new LOTV stamps. You can guess which I went for and the house is not empty at all, cooking still needs to be done but I'm sure I'll get a bit of help with that. How could I not ink this one 'time flies'...love it, tried to keep it simple as the embossing ones are always 'oohed and aaahed' over in my house. Stamped with a lilac ink pad some dandelion flowers for the background before embossing. Coloured with Promarkers, sentiments are LOTV too, found a bit of scrap lace, Phlox flower die and Marianne Creatables leaves die, bit of glamour dust to finish!

Challenges are several...Stampin for the weekend, Crafty catz, Paper Pretties, CYP, Promarker, I Love Promarkers 2nd, Ladybug Crafts Ink 2nd, Incy Wincy, Cardmania, Allsorts (it's their 5th Birthday...what a great milestone!) Stamp Sensations 3rd, Challenges 4 everybody 3rd, OSAAT, Ribbon Girls, Crafty Little fairies 3rd, Ideas to Inspire 2nd and Crafty Creations. Many thanks for coming over, every comment is appreciated.

Hi to all, hope life is treating you well. I've had a little spend this morning at LOTV as they're celebrating their 10th birthday with 20% discount offer, many thanks my pennies have been spent now and I look forward to receiving my goodies and having a play with them. So onto my pop-up box which I made myself...so easy. I've got 2 members of my family who are teachers now, one was already and one is a NQT (newly qualified teacher) at the tender age of only 22....I'm so overjoyed that I had to make a couple of these to celebrate their good news. Both will go a long way and have the potential to be outstanding teachers! So happy for them!!!

Girly image is a digi from Krista's Saturated Canary called 'Alice', digi paper from CB magazine d/load by Jenny Ellory, backpack is a win from the cupcake inspirations blog some time ago and from Robyns Fetish, colouring with Promarkers and plenty of sentimental stamping going on, lilac ribbon bow and a gem to finish.
