Hi everyone! I can't believe how rainy it's been today! I think this is the rainiest I've seen it in a long time, but I guess all the people suffering from water shortages because of drought in parts of Britain will be very happy for some rain at last! I thought I'd take a photo of my card against the rainy background above! In some ways though, it's nice, because it's all cosy and warm and we had the heating on for a little while earlier.When I went for a walk last night, I was shocked at how cold it was as well! You know you're in Britain when you can see your breath in June!
Anyway, weather rant over, hee hee. I made this card today, which I am really happy with. I am really enjoying experimenting with tearing the edge of the image and distressing it, and I think I'll definitely use Bildmalarna images again, they're so cute!

I went to see Take That in Manchester last weekend, and it was amazing! I had such a fantastic time, they were brilliant! I'm sorry I didn't post any pictures sooner, but I will post some soon!
I'm really looking forward to this coming week. Tomorrow morning I have a geography exam, so obviously I'll be glad when that's over, but after that I have work experience all week! I am going to my old primary school for the week, as I'd like to be a teacher when I'm older, so I can't wait!
Anyway, I'd better go now - thanks so much for looking and have a great time if anyone else is going to see Take That!
Have a nice week! Love, Georgia xx

Hi Georgia, Gorgeous card! Such a sweet image and pretty colour combo.
It's been very rainy in Norfolk this afternoon. We have had very little rain here compared to some parts of the UK.
Hope you enjoy work experience and your exam goes well.
Look forward to seeing your Take That photos :-)

This is just so pretty Geeg! I love the pink and lemon together and you've coloured your image perfectly!! And the distressed and torn look is stunning too ;o)
Lots of love, Mum xxx
Absolutely gorgeous Georgia and your colouring on this cutie is beautiful! Love the torn edges and your pretty embellishments too.
Glad you had a good time seeing Take That, I'm pea green with envy :D!
Hope the exam goes well and your work experience too, I'm sure you'll do brilliantly at both. Hope you do go for teaching, my Son has just finished the second year of his teaching degree and he loves it! Lots of opportunities too, he's off to Nepal in August to do teaching at a school there and walking in the Himalayas after! All right for some isn't it :D.
Ok, say hello to your Mum for me and good luck with your week.
Love,
