Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted - I can't believe it's the last week of the summer holidays already! It seems like ages since I've been at school, but at the same time, the last six weeks have gone really fast.
My mum and dad will both be at work on Friday, so I'm taking my little brother to my school, which he will also be starting next week, as the new starters are invited to come and look around to make themselves more familiar with the school before they start.
I'm also really pleased about my GCSE results, which I collected on results day last week. I'm just about to go into year eleven, so they're not my full results, but just for a few modules I did this year towards my final grades. I got an A in biology, an A in history, a B in maths and in geography I got an A and an A*, so I'm really thrilled!
Anyway, this is a card I made for my mum and dad's anniversary last week, as they have been married for seventeen years now, which is why I added the number seventeen to the card.
I went for a clean and simple feel for a change, which is really different to the kind of cards I normally make. I had a go at making one of my mum's torn roses, from the tutorial on her blog. It's not a patch on hers, but I'll definitely try them again - it's nice to make my own flowers for a change!

Love, Georgia xx
