My Niece is off to Newmarket today to start her Foundation Course with the British School of Racing. I'm so proud of her getting a spot on this course, which starts with a 9 week residential! She'll turn 16 whilst she is away, and has never been away form either my sister for this long before so understandably she's a little nervous!
Lizzy has always been horse mad and my sister gave in when she was small and let her go to horse riding lessons, which as she got older included being down the local stables before school for mucking out duties. My sister didn't mind this as she thought it would soon put her off and stop her asking for her own horse... the plan backfired! She was super motivated and very talented!
When my sister & niece moved to Lutterworth Lizzy carried on with lessons and got involved looking after a loan horse whilst her owner was away at college. Lizzy just went from strength to strength, and has proven her ability and love for horse riding by getting a place on the foundation course! Well done Lizzy!!
Why am I telling you all this well 1. I'm very proud of my niece and 2. it's got something to do with my scrapbook page today.
This picture was taken on 1st July when we had a leaving party for Lizzy to wish her luck at college. The picture is of all 6 nieces, my nephew and my oldest 2 nieces "other halves".
I've used a sketch from Page maps July 2011 sketches and the Stampin' Up! "Greenhouse Gala" Designer Series Papers, which I adore!
The ribbons are the real red polka dot ribbon from last Christmas's promotion, old olive taffeta and daffodil delight satin ribbon. The title is using "Schoolbook Serif Numbers".
I cut a couple of pieces out of the "Top Note" die for the big shot and a few of lots of flowers from the "Fun Flowers" die & "Boho Blossoms" punch, oh I also embossed the flowers with the "Perfect Polka Dots" Textured Impressions folders.
I'm loving the Big Shot items in the mini catalogue!
Well that's it for today.
Happy Crafting
