Tomorrow is my first go at being a teacher of adults, as i was very kindly asked by a local crop in Exhall to design a couple of pages, and teach a class. Feeling a bit nervous, but at least i know they won't storm out, swearing and chucking furniture across the room, unlike some teens I've attempted to teach (i hope!!)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ-j9gR-B0drGBKF5JasvV47r-jfHqiVyjkELMDpwi2dq1WQA012PqMCjV9H4d3O1qpIQEoCp2JU2t8dq_NQPGiMiLIOwmBnGBOYd7woi6y7GUgAgWhCh_XYn2bfRuyDcS1IheZiRUtk-e/s400/take-a-rest-small.jpg)

Thi
s is another page for the challenges Shimelle has been sending me, to use bits of patterned paper ( i have a few!) to make a LO. I have no idea what the papers were as they were all less than 1/4 of a sheet, lurking in my scraps box.
I made the border using a Martha Stewart punch both sides of a strip of paper, the journalling block is punched too using a Stampin' Up punch (prob one of the handiest punches I've bought)

Swirls are stamped and some cut out. The flower is made from circle scraps, inked and distressed (OK, screwed up!) with a LLB brad in the middle. Title used some very old BG letter
s, and the photo is of Hannah and me taking a walk last summer as she was revising for her AS exams.

Finally, a crafter local to me is celebrating her one year of blogging and has some candy to give away, pay her a visit here!
Gotta go, a challenge involving using up loads of flowers is calling me :)
