Top of the CLASS

When Georgia came home and told me that she had been voted by her classmates to be a school councillor I jumped up and down, whooped with joy and did an extremely embarrasing victory dance!! She thought I was a bit weird but at least it got across to her just how proud I am.

This photo was taken on the first day of the new term, and I have used it instead of the ones where she was presented with her school councillor badge. They didn't come out very well.

I tried to memorise the list of qualities that were up on the notice board in the school hall, I think I may have improvised a little! I tore the Making Memories paper in half and stitched it back together, the ink splatters are exactly that....distress ink refills with a touch of water and splatted (do this outside!) with a paint brush.
The tag says "Be true to you" and has a stamp of a wise owl inside it. To secure it on the layout so it can be removed without having to undo the bow I fixed the string into place with a couple of stitches.

The bling for her name was from a card shop and we made a deal I could have her name and she could have all the hearts and other coloured blings that came on the sheet.

This layout was made for the Paper Paradise October Sketch Challenge hosted by Helena. The sketch is by Liz Weber and is taken from the Craft in Style blog here.

update: thanks to my good friend Lazykay who e-mailed me today that the comments box isn't working. I changed it to the new blogger system that they recommended and I guess it hasn't worked! I just thought no -one loved me:( (love ya Kath xxx)
