Magnolia Card & Concert Pictures!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to show you this card I am entering into Just Magnolia, where the theme is 'In The Garden'. I used my mum's Martha Stewart fence punch, to make it look like Tilda was in the garden. I've also had a go at masking my image, which I've never tried before. It was a bit tricky and took me a few attempts, and even now it's a bit smudged, but I got there in the end! :)

Here is a closer view.


















Also, for those of you who had a go at guessing which of my statements was true in my last post, it was number six, I have held snakes, lizards and a crocodile in the past - but it was only a baby one and it had its mouth taped up, ha ha! :)


Before I go, I want to show you a few of the pictures I took on Saturday, when I went to Signal One 2010 Live at my local park with my friends. It was absolutely fantastic and we had such a brilliant time!

Here is a horrible spinning ride that my friends went on, but I didn't dare!



















Here are two of the radio DJs presenting it, blowing those vuvuzelas they have at the World Cup!

Anyway, I'd better go - thanks so much for looking and have a lovely week!

Hopefully, England will win their match on Wednesday, or they'll be out of the World Cup!

Bye for now,

Love, Georgia xx

An Award

Hi everyone! Just a quick post tonight to share this award I received with you that was given to me by Rachel, thanks so much for the award Rachel!

For the award, I have to tell you one truth and six lies about me, and you have to try and guess which one is the truth, which I will reveal in my next post!

OK, here goes...

1. I have had five cats in total throughout my life.

3. I have been away on holiday to Greece for two months before.

4. My favourite drink is Coca Cola.

5. My dream job is a crocodile hunter.

I also have to pass this award onto seven people. I will pass it onto:

So, all you need to do is leave a comment telling me which one out of all seven statements is true. I'll let you know the answer the next time I post, good luck, hee hee! :)

Thanks again for the award Rachel! OK, better go now. I'm really looking forward to Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week, as it is PINC Week (Particp8, Innov8, Negoti8, Cooper8), where we have three days off timetable and get to go out and take part in loads of great activities!

Tomorrow, I'll be going to Aerial Extreme, and assault course in the trees, which sounds brilliant - it's just as well I don't mind heights! :)

Thanks for looking, enjoy the rest of your week!

Phew...All Fixed!

Hi there! I'm really glad because my computer has been fixed and it turned out to be something really small, which is good, because I was assuming it was going to cost a lot to put it right, but it's all sorted now! :)

I had a really crafty day yesterday and made a Father's Day card for my dad and this card with one of my mum's new Anya stamps.

I'm entering it into this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge, where the theme is 'Dazzle Us', so you have to use glitter or gems or anything sparkly really.

Sentiment: Tim Holtz

So much for the England victory last night against the USA! Oh well, at least they didn't lose, lol!

Thanks so much for looking and I'm off now for a blog hop to catch up on everyone's creations!

Have a lovely week!

Computer Trouble

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post to say that I might not be around for a little while, because there's something really wrong with my computer and I don't know how long it will be until it's fixed, so I'm typing this post on my dad's laptop.

Hopefully, it won't be for very long, but I just thought I'd let you know, as I don't have any idea what's wrong with my computer and I'm not sure how long it will take to get it sorted, but if I don't get much homework this week at school, then I should have plenty of time to get crafty and then I'll have lots to show when I get back! :)

I'm so glad Spelbound won Britain's Got Talent last night, they were amazing!
Anyway, I'd better go now and get things ready for school tomorrow morning - I can't wait to get up at seven o'clock...not! :)

Thanks for looking and bye for now!

My First Easel Card!

Hi there! Wow, I can't believe how nice the weather has been recently, perfect for half-term! Although, I wasn't so thrilled to be woken up by builders hammering and drilling on a house across the road from me at eight o'clock this morning! ;)

Today is the start of Challenge 9 of the Crafty Calendar Challenge, and the theme this month is 'Bugs and Beasties'. It sounds really tricky, but the possibilities are endless - you could make a pretty girly card or an insect card for a male.

I can't believe I've never tried it before, but this is my first easel card that I have made for my Design Team card. I always imagined it being really tricky to do, but I was surprised when I realised they're actually really simple and I love the effect it makes!





















Materials:
Image: I can never remember what brand they are, even though I've been told so many times! :)
Sentiment: Studio G
Papers: Basic Grey - Green At Heart
Flowers: From My Stash
Jute Ribbon: Bunny-Zoe's Crafts
Colouring: Pro Markers
Embellishments: From My Stash
Glitter: Stickles

Well, thanks so much for looking and enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend. Enjoy the rest of Britain's Got Talent, if you're watching it - so far, Spellbound are my favourites! :)

Love, Georgia xx
