Bold & Bright & A Lovely Award!

Friday Sketchers, Photo Effects & An Award

Hello! Hope everyone's had a nice weekend. I've had a chill-out day so far - didn't wake up until quarter-past eleven! I'm going out in a bit to deliver my Christmas cards.

Here is my entry for this week's Friday Sketchers Challenge, where there's a fab sketch this week. I looked at it and thought it would be difficult, but it was actually easy to do and I really enjoyed making my card!

I can't remember who the image is by, and the sentiment doesn't have a brand on it, but the papers are K&Co., the colouring was done with Pro Markers, the leaf stamp is Studio G, the glitter is Craft Planet and the pearls are from my stash.


Chris posted on her blog about a photo-editing website a month or so ago, called Picnik, and it really is a brilliant website. You just upload your card, which takes no time at all, and there are loads of brilliant effects, like the one I did on the first photo above, and the majority of them are free!


Before I go, I'll just share with you this award that Stacie gave me - thanks so much Stacie for the lovely award, and thank you for thinking of me! :)
For this award you have to do the following things:
- Thank the sender for nominating you
- Make sure you link to the person that nominated you
- Nominate seven creative bloggers
- Copy the award onto your blog.
- Post links to their blogs
- Leave a comment for them to let them know about the award
- Write seven interesting facts about yourself

Here are my seven facts:

1. I am a spelling/grammar freak and hate missing capital letters and apostrophes, lol!
2. I caught meningitis when I was a baby, because I had a dip in my fontanelle.
3. I love school and hate the thought of handing in homework late!
4. Reading and writing are my passion and I have had three poems published.
5. I absolutely loathe swimming and can only just about swim to save my life!
6. My favourite ever films are Stardust and The Sound of Music, they give me goosebumps when I watch them.
7. Since I was nine I have always been obsessed with Harry Potter, but am not into Twilight because I don't like the thought of vampires.

I have to pass this onto five bloggers, so I will give it to:

- Donna - Donna's Doodles
- Tara - Happily Ever Crafting
- Sarita - Little Princess Cards
- Michele - Shelley's Papercrafting Paradise
- Carole - Stardust Gems & Ribbon

I had a lovely day yesterday. My mum and dad took the train to Birmingham to do some secret Christmas shopping (!!!) and to look at the continental market there, so me and my bro went to my Grandma and Grandad's house and we helped them decorate their tree and they took us for a gorgeous hot chocolate with marshmallows at a local bar, mmm! :)

OK, that's it for now! Looking forward to getting up for school tomorrow, NOT! But at least it's not long until Christmas now, yay! :)

I've Been Tagged!

Hi, I've been tagged! I had to upload the sixth picture out of the sixth folder of my computer!

This is a picture of me on holiday in 2006 in the Costa Del Sol in Spain. We went to a crocodile park and me and my brother got to hold baby crocodiles! I was nervous at first but their mouths had been taped up so they couldn't bite!

I was nine here, almost ten. They felt really strange as I expected them to be hard and rough but their tummies were soft and warm!

Also, I have to write ten interesting facts about myself so here goes!

-1- I love to write and have had two poems published.

-2- I would love to have children when I am older.

-3- I don't know where I'd be without capital letters! It drives me crazy when people miss out capital letters for names, places, titles etc. (Yes, I am fussy! Tee hee!).

-4- I am a strange eater - most people mix their foods together and eat things together for mixed tastes but I always eat each separate component of my meal one at a time! Weird, I know!

-5- When I can't get to sleep at night, I design my dream house in my head and it usually helps me drop off!

-6- I'm a bit of a list maker! I make 'to-do-lists' of what I need to do, even if I don't finish everything on it!

-7- I am very interested in how the brain works and am planning to take psychology as a GCSE option when I pick them after half-term!

-8- My favourite thing to eat in the whole world is chocolate fudge cake - I could eat a swimming pool full of them!

-9- I collect perfume! I must have at least fifteen or sixteen bottles on my shelf in my wardrobe!

-10- I hate being late! I take after my dad, not my mum! As she is late for everything!

Thanks for reading my facts!
