Summer Days...

Hi! I hope everyone's enjoying the summer - I just thought I'd pop on here today to show you this summer-themed card I made!

I wanted to use bright, summery colours on this card, which fits in with a couple of challenges who are looking for summery cards and bright colours at the moment!
I also added some faux stitching with a stamp I borrowed from my mum, and I used Basic Grey papers, as the Nook and Pantry set is lovely and summery!


Materials:
Image: Magnolia
Sentiment: Studio G
Papers: Basic Grey - Nook & Pantry
Cardstock: Bazzil
Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils
Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Faded Jeans
Flowers: From My Stash
Pearls: Bunny-Zoe's Crafts
Stitching Stamp: Borrowed From My Mum
Glitter: Stickles
Gems: The Hobby House
Felt Ribbon: From My Stash
Red Fibres: From My Stash
Pins: From My Stash


The theme at Just Magnolia this week is Anything Goes, with the added option of glitter, so I added lots of glitter to the hearts on the image, which you can see a bit clearer on this picture.



I'm really, really enjoying the summer holidays so far! I'm loving being able to chill out and relax, and I'm making the most of it before all the work starts piling up when I go back to school in September.
This will be my final year at secondary school, before I move up to the Sixth Form, so I'll have lots of preparation to do before my exams next summer!
My little brother is starting secondary school this year too, so he will be in Year Seven in September, so at least I'll be there to help him if he gets lost!


I've had quite a lot going on so far. I had a bit of a disastrous shopping trip a couple of weeks ago! I caught the train to Chester with a few friends, and I ended up coming home with nothing, because I left my bags on a seat in a shop while I was trying on shoes and didn't realise until it was too late and they were gone! I was really gutted at the time, but I definitely won't be making that mistake again, and luckily I hadn't spent all my money, so I'm taking the rest with me to London, as we're going on a trip there in a couple of weeks, as me and my brother have never been before. I'm so excited!

Anyway, here are the challenges I am entering my card into:
- Basic Grey Challenges - Sizzling Summer
- Crafty Calendar Challenge - Hot Colours
- Just Magnolia & Hanglar Stanglar Challenge - Anything Goes (Added Option of Glitter)
- Cupcake Craft Challenges - Sew Mad
- Charisma Cardz - Bingo (I Have Used Flowers, Pearls and Glitter)

Before I go, I thought I'd show you a few photos of Fizzy soaking up the sun in the garden over the last couple of weeks! It's not very sunny today - a bit windy and rainy, but nice and cosy, hee hee!

It's a hard life, eh? :)

Thanks so much for looking and have a great week!

Lots of love, Georgia xx
