NEC, New Stash & A Card!

Hi there! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, it feels so strange when the clocks go forward, doesn't it?
I had a fantastic day at the NEC yesterday and it was such a lovely experience, meeting so many lovely bloggers for the first time and stocking up on some gorgeous new stash! I had a brilliant time and thank you to all the lovely people I met who made it so special, I'll definitely be coming to the next one in November, hee hee! :)

I couldn't resist getting out my new stash and making a card with it! Everything on this card is new, apart from the Sizzix die for the corners, which I borrowed off my mum. I'm really pleased with this card and I think I'm going to give it to my soon-to-be step-grandma, whose birthday is coming up in April.

I am entering this card into a challenge I just discovered, called Crafty Catz. Their theme for this week is 'white and one other colour', how convenient is that?! I was planning to make a white and pink card last night and this is the perfect challenge to enter it into! :)

Materials:

Image: Magnolia (given to me by the lovely Chris!)

Paper: Not sure, but from the NEC!

Roses: Magnolia

Glimmer Mist: Marshmallow

Glass Beads: From my new stash!

Doily: From my new stash!

Pearls: From my new stash!

Colouring: Pro Markers

I really enjoyed making this card and I loved using my new things!

Here's a picture of all my new stuff! I didn't really have anything specific in mind that I wanted to get, but I definitely wanted to stock up on some more flowers and embellishments, which is exactly what I did! :)

I also wanted to show you this bag I bought while I was there, great isn't it?! :)

Finally, here are a few pictures of the blogging people me and my mum met up with.

Sorry for the extremely long post! :)

Mum and Jo

Tab and Kim

Chris, Heather and Claire

Well, that's all from me for now, phew! :) Don't forget to watch the Dancing On Ice final tonight, I can't wait!

Bye for now! Off to Tesco now to get some soup and rolls for lunch, mmm!

Love, Georgia xx

This is the card I gave my mum for her birthday on Wednesday - she turned the big four-o and we're having a party tomorrow!
I am also entering this week's Stamp Something Challenge, where the theme is 'distressed somethings'.

Thanks for looking - I'm just in the middle of watching the original 1971 Willy Wonka film, you can't beat the classic, lol!

Bye for now!

Hi there! Hooray, it's Friday! And I'm so excited because tomorrow I'm going to have my hair coloured as a birthday treat and then I'm having some friends round for a little movie party in the evening and then on Sunday we're going out for a curry for my birthday - I can't wait! :)

I'm having a major cardmaking session tonight with my little brother because we're both making birthday and Mother's Day cards for my mum, as it's her fortieth on Wednesday - she doesn't look a day over twenty-one, hee hee! :D

I've made this card for this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge , where the theme is Flower Power. So I've used flowery papers and lots of flowers on my card.


















The image is Penny Black, the sentiment is Studio G, the papers are K&Co., the flowers are from my stash, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the other embellishments are also from my stash.

Anyway, thanks so much for looking and have a great weekend - Happy Mother's Day! :D
