A Card At Last!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad Friday's here, and I've got a week's holiday now, yay! I'm really looking forward to Tuesday as well, as it's my brother's birthday, so that should be a really good day!

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. My mojo's been gone a little bit, and my media exam has really taken up loads of time. I did it on Monday and most of it went quite well, so I'm just glad it's out of the way now.

I really love my new Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper pad, so I couldn't wait to use it again! I'm entering this card into this week's Just Magnolia Challenge, where the theme is 'hot and spicy', which can mean anything from warm colours to summer holidays, so I've used lots or yellows and oranges on my card.

I went a bit overboard with my mum's Glimmer Mist - it sprayed all over the image! Oh well, you can never have too much sparkle, lol!

I can't believe how great the weather has been recently! It's gone a little bit cooler now, but it was fantastic last weekend - perfect for my grandad's wedding and our trip to Legoland, which was brilliant! It's a shame I couldn't take any pictures of the wedding, because the SD card in the camera ran out of memory, but it was a great day, and we'd love to go again in the future!

Thanks for looking, have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend and hope you enjoy the sunny weather, while it lasts! :)

Love, Georgia xx

Just Magnolia Challenge

Hello! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've got a three-hour media exam coming up next Monday, so I've been spending ages revising and working towards that.
I did manage to make this card in the week though, as my mum treated me to a gorgeous new set of Basic Grey papers, the Nook & Pantry set, which I love!

I'm entering this card into this week's Just Magnolia Challenge, where the theme is 'One For The Girls', which was really convenient after I used these yummy papers and the giant flower!

Materials:

Image: Magnolia

Papers: Basic Grey - Nook & Pantry

Sentiment: Tim Holtz

Flowers: From My Stash

Raffia Lace: Bunny-Zoe's Crafts
Cardstock: Bazzil

Other Embellishments: From My Stash

I can't wait until next weekend because it is my grandad's wedding, so we are travelling down to Reading where he lives and are staying overnight in a lovely hotel and then the next day, we are going to Legoland in Windsor on the way home! It should be a brilliant weekend!

I'm glad the weather has warmed up a little bit now - next weekend it's supposed to be really warm, so let's hope the forecast is right for once! :)

Thanks so much for looking and for any comments you leave - have a lovely week!

Chipboard Bookmark

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend and the weather was good wherever you are!
It was a lovely day yesterday, so me and my mum and dad and brother decided to go to the cattery a few miles away from where we live to get some cat food for my cat, Fizzy. We had a look at some of the cats while we were there and we wanted to take them all home with us, they were sooo cute! :)

Here is a bookmark I made for my grandma, as it's her birthday in a couple of weeks. I used some more of my gorgeous new Basic Grey Green At Heart pad, and also used some new embellishments I got from the NEC in March.

I also used some of this Basic Grey chipboard I've had for ages, but I've never used it because I didn't really know what I could use it for, but I'm glad I used it on this bookmark, because I think it'll make it more sturdy.

I can't remember who this image is by, any ideas? It was sent to me by the lovely Jo, Boots the Monkey.

Finally, I'm entering the bookmark into this week's PaperPlay Challenge, where the theme is to use a stamped or digi image and add some bling!

Thanks so much for looking and have a lovely week! :)

Bye for now!

Love, Georgia xx
