Simon Says Challenge - Animal Antics

Hi! I had great weekend in Wales - apart from when I slipped over in a muddy bog, because I stupidly wore Uggs instead of walking boots and got covered in sludge, lol! ;)

Here is my card for this week's Simon Says Challenge, where the theme is 'Animal Antics'.

My flower was made using Rach's fab tutorial, the one that I used a couple of months ago on another card.
The papers are K&Co., the sentiment and floral stamps are Studio G, the image is Penny Black, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

Anyway, I'll go now and start our tea. I don't know why, I really felt like making tea tonight, because it gives Mum a break. I'm making African chilli and rice and I'm starving! :)

Thanks for looking and for all your lovely comments while I was away! :)
Love, Georgia xx

Christmas Card, GCSEs, Contact Lenses & A Cat Wearing A Wig!

Hello! My homework has died down a bit now, thankfully.
I've got my first GCSE exam of many more to come tomorrow morning at nine o'clock - a nice start to the day then, heh?
Actually, I'm not worried at all. I'm pretty confident with the work we've been doing and I'm not the sort of person who gets het up about exams.

Also, I've got my contact lenses now! I went for monthly disposables, and I'm getting more and more comfortable with putting them in and taking them out now, so I'm so glad I decided to have them.

This card is for this month's Crafty Monkeys Challenge, where the theme is Christmas. I think I've only got one more Christmas card to make now! I feel sorry for my mum, she's got much more to make than me!

The papers are Bo Bunny, the image is Penny Black, the colouring was done with Pro Markers, the glitter is Craft Planet and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.



Before I go, I just thought I'd show you a couple of pictures of Fizzy - I think she's aged about twenty years, lol! She doesn't look too impressed! ;)







































I can't wait until tomorrow night because me and my mum and dad and my brother are going away for the weekend to Harlech, where we went in July. I'm guessing there'll be lots of wintery walks and chocolate and snuggling up in front of X Factor involved, lol!

Thanks for looking!

Creative Inspirations Challenge 35

Hello! Hope you've a had a great week and have a nice X Factor weekend, lol! I was absolutely livid at Simon last weekend. He's the one who's been saying how much he hates Jedward, so why on earth did he send home a brilliant singer like Lucie?! It was a total joke! I don't think I can bear to see them there taking the places of other better singers for much longer, lol!
OK, rant over, hee hee!

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last week. My homework has been catching up on me so I haven't got round to it.

I'm entering this card into this week's Creative Inspirations Challenge, where the theme is 'New or Neglected Stash'. I've used my new papers I got from Bunny-Zoe's Crafts, my new Tim Holtz tickets, and some new 'raffia' style ribbon from the lovely Heather.

The image is Magnolia, the colouring was done with Pro Markers. The backing paper is K & Co., the script paper is PaperMania, the leaf stamps are Studio G and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

OK, I'd better go now to get stuck into some of this homework.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend. :)
Hugs, Georgia xx

A Christmas Card & Candy Win!

Hi there, hope everyone's had a nice weekend. Back to school tomorrow for me! I've had a teacher training day today, so I've been making the most of my last day by chilling out!

I can't believe Jedward got through on X Factor last night! I'm actually worried that they might win it, lol!

Last week, I won Lisa's birthday blog candy, which was a £15 gift certificate to Bunnzy-Zoe's Crafts, so as you can imagine, I was made up!
My goodies have arrived today, which you can see on the picture. I got a High Hopes 'Party Hippo' rubber stamp, some half pearls, a selection of twenty mixed charms and two gorgeous paper pads, so I'm really chuffed with everything, and can't wait to use it all!
Thanks again to Lisa and to Nikki for sending my stuff so quickly! :)

This card I have made is for this week's Creative Card Crew Challenge, where they have a theme of snowflakes. So, I've added a couple of punched out snowflakes to my flowers.

I want to get all my Christmas cards done in advance so I can send them out early in December and not end up rushing like me and my mum normally do! ;)

The image is Sugar Nellie, the papers are Bo Bunny, the flowers are Prima, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

Thanks for looking and have a good week. :)
