Stamp Somethings Challenge

Hi everyone, happy Saturday! :)
I had a great time yesterday spending my birthday money and vouchers with my friend Megan. I bought loads of new clothes, hair things and DVDs and I'm so pleased with everything I got. We even managed to find time to treat ourselves to a tuna jacket potato and chocolate fudge cake, mmm!

This is the card I gave my mum for her birthday on Wednesday - she turned the big four-o and we're having a party tomorrow!
I am also entering this week's Stamp Something Challenge, where the theme is 'distressed somethings'.

Materials:

Image: Penny Black

Sentiment: Studio G

Papers: MME

Colouring: Pro Markers

Glitter: Stickles

Flowers: From my Stash

Other Embellishments: From my Stash

Thanks for looking - I'm just in the middle of watching the original 1971 Willy Wonka film, you can't beat the classic, lol!

Bye for now!

Hugs, Georgia xx

Cupcake Craft Challenges 81

Hi there! Hooray, it's Friday! And I'm so excited because tomorrow I'm going to have my hair coloured as a birthday treat and then I'm having some friends round for a little movie party in the evening and then on Sunday we're going out for a curry for my birthday - I can't wait! :)

I'm having a major cardmaking session tonight with my little brother because we're both making birthday and Mother's Day cards for my mum, as it's her fortieth on Wednesday - she doesn't look a day over twenty-one, hee hee! :D

I've made this card for this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge , where the theme is Flower Power. So I've used flowery papers and lots of flowers on my card.


















The image is Penny Black, the sentiment is Studio G, the papers are K&Co., the flowers are from my stash, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the other embellishments are also from my stash.

Anyway, thanks so much for looking and have a great weekend - Happy Mother's Day! :D

I'm Back!

Hi everyone - happy Saturday! It feels like ages since I've posted a card, because I was ill during the second half of half-term. It started when we got back from the cinema, not last Thursday but the Thursday before, when we went to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, which was fantastic, by the way! I'm feeling much better though now, and my mojo is coming back, slowly but surely. It's a shame that I still wasn't feeling great when I went to an Indian restaurant with some friends for my friend, Kat's birthday, as I had lost my appetite and didn't enjoy the food and hardly ate anything. But at least I'll be able to make up for that when I go out with my mum and dad and brother for another curry on my birthday - yay! :)

I don't mind this card that I've made, but I'm not massively keen on it. I'm entering it into this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge, where the theme is friendship.


















Materials:

Sentiment: Studio G
Papers: Making Memories

Ribbon: PaperMania

I'm looking forward to the Saturday Night TV later, as Ant and Dec have got a new game show starting tonight, which should be good, and tomorrow I've got Dancing On Ice, yay!

Anwyay, thanks for looking - have a lovely weekend and thanks so much for any comments you leave! Bye for now!

Parties & A Couple of Challenges

I had one on Wednesday, I've got one tonight, one next Saturday and then in March I've got mine, then in April I've got two more, phew! This card is one I've made for my friend Carina, whose party I'm going to tonight. I've bought her a peach-coloured sparkly scarf, some sweets and slipper socks, which I hope she'll like.

Bold & Bright & A Lovely Award!

Hiya! Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend - I know I am! I had a lovely meal in McDonald's today and a McFlurry for afters, much to Mum's annoyance as she's dieting, lol!

I went bold and bright with my card today, which isn't something I do very often. Can you believe these gorgeous papers were from a big pad that came free with a magazine?! There are tons of beautiful designs in the pad and they're really good quality!




The image is by Sugar Nellie, one that I haven't used before.
