Colour Create Challenge #6

Hello! This is my entry for this week's Colour Create Challenge.

The colours for this week are orange, green and yellow; nice summery colours.

The extra option was to make something different than a card. The design team came up with some brilliant ideas and they're creations are worth a look, even if you aren't planning on entering!

I have made a trinket box out of card. I find these really useful as gifts - you can fill them with sweets or whatever and they're ideal for birthdays or Mother's Day!

I filled mine with bath fizzers as you can see in the pictures below. I really enjoyed making this!

Materials:

Card: Paper Cellar

Ribbon: PaperMania

Glitter Drops: Craft Planet

Orange Flowers: Prima

Green Flower: PaperMania

Brad: PaperMania

Thank you for looking!

Basic Grey Challenge #23

Hiya - here is my entry for the cupcake challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges.

When I was working, I didn't have a very good light so I didn't realise that the flowers weren't the same shade of pink as the backing paper! Whoops! Never mind.

White Flower: Prima

Grey Flower (Punch): Woodware

Barette: From Caroline

Yesterday, I went to the murder mystery party I talked about last week. It was brilliant! It turned out that I was the murderer! Tee hee! Mum was wary about letting me back into the house! :D

House Mouse Challenge #25

Hello! This is my entry for the House Mouse challenge. I love this image and the sentiment fitted perfectly.

Materials:

Image: House Mouse

Sentiment: Stampin' Up

Ribbon: Unknown

'Made With Love' Heart: From Jo

Brads: PaperMania

Backing Paper: Unknown

I used my mum's Nestie shapes to cut the edges of my circular paper. I am quite pleased with the turn-out but I haven't got anyone in mind as to who I want to give it to. With most of my cards, unless someone's birthday is coming up, I keep them in a draw and then they're handy if I ever forget someone's birthday or need to send a card out at short-notice.

Thank you for looking!

Friends Award

Hi there! Here is a lovely award I received from Zoe - thank you Zoe!

I will pass this on to:

Marlene - A Lil' Bit Of Me

Chris - Sketching Stamper

Sarita - Little Princess Cards

I am only going to pass this on to three people instead of five because I don't want to give to the same people more than once in a short space of time.

Thanks for looking.

Another Lovely Award!

Hi! Here's the lovely award I received from Sharon over at 'Cards 'n' Greetings'. Thank you Sharon! :D

I have recently received another award from Heather so I don't want to be passing on to the same people so I won't pass this on right now if that's OK.

Thanks again Sharon. I really appreciate it!

Colour Create Challenge #3

Hello! Here is my entry for my Mum's challenge blog - Colour Create. I was quite excited about having a go at this week's challenge as I like the colour scheme. I knew I had some beach-themed stickers somewhere in my craft draws and I managed to find them!

Gem: PaperMania

My Time To Craft Challenge #48

Happy Valentine's Day. My dad asked me to make a Valentine's card for my mum so here it is! I was tempted to go for pink or red but saw this pretty gold card in my paper box and decided to use that instead.

After I had made it, I decided to make a card to enter a challenge and came across the 'My Time To Craft' Challenge which is asking for cards with gold on them.

What a conincidence! I decided to enter this card into it.

Materials:

Backing Card: Unknown

Sentiment: Found On The Internet

Flowers: Prima

Swirls: Unknown

Bow: From Jo

Gems: PaperMania

Thanks for looking! Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Murder Mystery!

Hello! This is a rather strange post but I just wanted to let you know about the 'murder mystery' party I have been invited to. My friend Carina is having a 'Cluedo' themed party and has given everyone a character of her choice. I am supposedly a French exchange student! This isn't really me in the photo, that's just what was me in the invitation. My name is 'Dominique Juneau'! Fancy, hm? Tee hee!

I can't wait! I shall have to start practicing my French accent!

Thanks for looking! xx

Crafty Monkeys Challenge #15

Hi there! Here is the card I am entering into the Crafty Monkeys Challenge. The theme is 'Love and Friendship' so I have made this card for my friend Carina. I've seen this image used for male cards a lot before so I was a bit wary about using it but decided to give it a more feminine look by adding the pink and the flowers.

I am quite pleased with the turn-out.

Materials:

Image: Whipper Snapper Designs

Sentiment: Printed off from the computer

Star Gems: PaperMania

Backing Paper: PaperMania

Glitter: Craft Planet

Flowers: Prima

I used my mum's ProMarkers rather than my own Brush Markers as I didn't have the right colours to colour the monkey.

Thank you for looking!

Colour Create Challenge #2

Hello! Here is my entry for this week's Colour Create Challenge. If you would like to enter this challenge, click on the blinkie on my sidebar and it will take you there. Here is what you have to do for this week's challenge:

'Please make your card using Peach and Aqua. You can also use cream/white for your cardstock and flesh colours for any images. There is an extra option available which you can use if you wish, although this isn't compulsory. This week's option is 'DIY flowers', which means not using any pre made, bought flowers on your cards and projects. Here are some ideas which might help:

- Stamp a flower onto card and cut it out

- Punch and layer flowers

- Die cut flowers

- Doodle your own flowers

- Stitch flowers

- Peel and mount stickers to form a flower

- Use shaped petals e.g, hearts to form a flower

- Make flowers from Nestie shapes

- Make a ribbon flower'

The design team cards are fantastic! Even if you aren't planning on entering the challenge, the cards are worth a look!

On my card, I made my flower by stamping it and colouring it with my Brush Markers.

Materials:

Image: Eloise Greengrass

Sentiment: Whispers Words

Brad: PaperMania

Gems: PaperMania

Glitter: Craft Planet

Thanks for looking and good luck with the challenge!

Love, Georgia xx

'The Little Princess'

Hi there! Here is my latest card. I decided to layer-up the image and if you look at the second picture you'll be able to see properly.

I've been put-off using the hob for a while! I've just been cooking some mince and the oven-glove caught fire while I was holding the handle of the pan! Whoops! I put it in the sink straight away and I am fine. Mum's taken over tea though!

Anyway, here are the materials I used to make the card:



Image: Unknown - from Heather

Sentiment: Studio G

Stars and Ribbons: Hobbycraft

Flowers: White one is Prima, pink one is from Jo

Backing Paper: PaperMania



Thanks for looking!

Snow Antics!

Hello! I've been making the most of the snow, as you can see! I decided to make a little snowman - I'm afraid he's a bit lacklustre as the snow has started to melt and has gone very powdery!

Thanks for looking!

Goodies!

Wow , I'm being really spoilt at the moment! Heather has sent me this absolutely beautiful card and a gift!

Here is the card when the flap has been opened up:

And, if that wasn't enough, look at the photo album she sent me with images inside!

Thank you SO much Heather - I am thrilled and really appreciate it! :)
