Halloween Cutie!

Hello! Wow, it seems like ages since I've posted on my blog! It's a really nice treat when I do get chance to sit and make a card though! I didn't like this card to begin with, but now that it's finished, I'm really pleased with it!

I would have posted it sooner, but my little brother took our camera away on his residential trip with school to Shropshire, so I had to wait to photograph it when he came back yesterday. I missed him a lot!

I'm not a huge Halloween fan, but I thought I'd make a Halloween card for this time of year, so I found this cute little cat from Mo's Digital Pencil! We don't really celebrate Halloween in our house, but my mum will be taking my little brother out trick-or-treating, as he likes the sweets! I'm inviting some of my friends round and we're going to watch the film, 'Gremlins.' I've never seen it, but it's rated 15, so I was wondering if people think it's scary or not if you've seen it? I was just wondering out of curiosity.

Materials:

Here's a picture of them, so you know what I'm talking about:

Anyway, thanks so much for looking and hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Lots of love from, Georgia xx

Crafty Calendar Challenge - First Birthday

Hi there! I think you'd better put your feet up, this is a bit of a long post! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying X Factor, ha ha! I can't believe how awful the weather's been though, but it was OK yesterday though, which was perfect timing for when me and my friend, Megan went to Alton Towers, we had an amazing time!

I made this card, as Lisa asked me to be a Guest Designer for the Crafty Calendar Challenge, which I first started with the wonderful team back in October 2009, but I decided to step down from running a couple of months ago, because it just became a bit too much to manage.

Because the challenge has now been running for twelve months, Lisa has managed to find twelve fantastic sponsors, so be sure to go and check them out!

The theme is 'Birthdays', with the optional extra of 'Autumn Colours', so here is the card I've made for the challenge.

Materials:

Image: Magnolia

Sentiment: Studio G

Papers: Basic Grey - Green At Heart

Flowers & Leaves: From My Stash
Colouring: Pro Markers

Glitter: Craft Planet
Raffia Lace: Bunny-Zoe's Crafts

Embellishments: From My Stash

Cardstock: Bazzil

I am entering the card into a few challenges too:

- Basic Grey Challenges - 'Sparkle'

- Just Magnolia Challenge - 'Anything Goes'

- Simon Says Challenge - 'Autumn'

We had a brilliant time at Alton Towers, and managed to get on ten rides, and went on some twice! I think people must have been put off going because of the bad weather, as the longest we had to queue for a ride for is about forty minutes, which is nothing compared to how it normally is! We went of Oblivion, Air, Rita, Nemesis, The Blade, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Ride, Twirling Toadstool, Sonic Spinball, The Flume and Skyride, but we didn't dare go on Thirteen, ha ha! We also scoffed and had KFC for lunch and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream with hot chocolate sauce, YUM!

Nemesis, very scary!

Oblivion, my favourite!

Sonic Spinball

The Flume, we got absolutely drenched!

Anyway, I'd better go now, sorry for the long post! Thanks so much for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend and X Factor tonight, if you're watching!

Love, Georgia xx
