Goodbye For Now!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad the weather has picked up a bit! It's perfect timing really, because there is supposed to be a heatwave in the UK over the weekend, and this will be my last post before I go on holiday!

We are going to Harlech in Wales, so this will be my last post before we get back - hopefully I'll have some pictures to show you when we come home!

Here is the beach, nearby to my auntie and uncle's holiday home, where we will be staying - we are just on the right of the beach, how convenient is that? :)

Also, we are right next to Harlech Castle, which King Edward I started building in 1283! Here is a lovely picture of it during sunset.

Anyway, onto my card! I have made this card using one of the gorgeous Tilda images my mum stamped out for me, from her new Magnolia kit. I made it following Bev's fabulous sketch, over at Just Magnolia, which I will be entering it into.

I also used Rach's great tutorial for making flowers using Retro punches, which I love! You can find the tutorial here, or on my sidebar. Thanks for the inspiration Rach! :)




Materials:
Image: Magnolia
Sentiment: Tim Holtz
Papers: Paper Mania
Colouring: Pro Markers
Cardstock: Bazzil
Gems, Buttons & Pearls: From My Stash
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Glitter: From My Stash

I just can't get enough of these Tim Holtz tickets that I have been using so much recently, I love them! :)

I had a bit of an accident when I was making this card! I coloured my image and added a few silver gems for extra sparkle and then I put the image through a cutting machine with a Nestie shape and because of the pressure from the machine, the gems cracked! If you click on the picture, you'll be able to see, hee hee! Oops! :)

Anyway, I'd better get going now, as there's lots of packing to be done before we leave to go to Wales! I really hope the weather will be good while we're away!

Good luck for those of you who are entering my blog candy, I will be drawing the winner on Monday 2nd August 2010!

Before I go, I thought I'd show you this picture of my cat, Fizzy, soaking up the sun in our garden a couple of weeks ago, such a diva, hee hee! :)

Thanks so much for looking and have a great week!
Love, Georgia

Goodbye For A Week!

Hello! This will be my last post for a week because tomorrow (Sunday) I am going on holiday with my mum and dad and brother to Harlech in Wales.

Here is a picture of where we are going. We are staying to the right of the beach where all the little houses are.

We will be back next weekend.

Anyway, here is a final card before I go. I'm entering it into this week's Stamp Something Challenge. You have to use butterflies or something with wings on your card somewhere and I hope this card will be OK because my butterflies are a bit small!

I can't believe I haven't used this Hanglar stamp sooner! It was sent to me by Carole, I really love it! :)

The paper is K&Co. Roam, the colouring is done with Pro Markers, the sentiment and butterfly stamps are Daisy & Dandelion and the flower stamps are Studio G. The rest is from my stash.

Here is a closer view:

Thank you for looking, bye until next week!

Love, Georgia xx
