Another canvas
Morning everyone,do you remember me saying my grandaughter Ellie (7yrs)was having problems at school and socially,well she has been assesed and apparently has some genetic problems sooo another assesment,meetings when they are back at school and back to see the specialist in 6 months,they think it could be a strain of Aspergers bless her she has really struggled the last 10 months,think it was brought to a head when they went to Spain for a week then back home for a week,then moved out into their own house and a new class at school-too much for her to cope with with no preparation,as she doesn't cope well with change to her routine and with hindsight we can now see the reason behind some of her behaviour.Right onto my canvas,been dying to have another go after my first but only just finally had time to play.Coated canvas with gesso,added spiders web,lace(recycled off old net curtains),corrugated cardboard die-cut,wooden heart and flowered clock face,flowers,buttons,dewdrops,tiny bows all from stash,homemade modelling paste through a stencil and heat embossed gold round the edges and swiped pan pastel over the raised pattern.Hope you like it.

Teachers Thank you card
I have made this teachers thank you card for Ellie to give to one of her teachers,not her form teacher.She has had quite a few shall we say social issues which came to a head last year.They went on holiday for a week then came home for a week before moving into their own home the same week which she started a new year at school.All the upheavel took the toll on Ellie who struggles with change at the best of times.Fortunately the school and Dr have finally realised and think she may have a slight strain of Aspergers which finally makes sense of her behaviour to us all,and she sees someone to be assessed at the end of July.Now this card is for one of the teachers who has been very supportive and helped Ellie quite a lot(her class teacher being very unsympathetic)and very dismissive when Ellie was been bullied.The image is a Saturated Canary coloured with promarkers,cardstock from Papermill Direct,corner dies and dewdrops from stash,flower die was craft mag freebie,amd B.papers are Bonnets and Bowties from Nitwits.
