A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge 75

Hi there! It's Friday and that means it's nearly time for X Factor, am I sad or what?! ;)

I've actually got a pretty busy night tomorrow. My little brother wants to go trick-or-treating so we're taking him out where we live, but we can't go for long because we're going to a bonfire and firework display after, wehich should be fantastic, judging by what it was like last year!
Then, my grandma and grandad are coming over for tea and X Factor and I expect there'll be chocolate too, bliss! :)

Half-term is going so fast *groan* :(

Anyway, this card is for this week's A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge, where the theme is in the kitchen and cooking, so this little Tilda was ideal.
The papers are MME, the border punch is Woodware, the flowers are Prima, the sentiment is Studio G, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

Thanks for looking and have a nice weekend! :)

One Stop Craft Challenge 52

Hi everyone! Hooray, I'm so glad it's half-term now!

I'm glad I can finally relax now, but I've got revision to do as well, because at my school, instead of sitting all our GCSE exams at the end of year eleven, we do them in chunks from year nine, right through to year eleven. So, after half-term I'll be sitting my first proper legal GCSE exam for biology! I'm not too nervous though, because I find biology fairly easy, it's chemistry and physics I struggle with!
We've been given some rules that we have to follow when we go into the exam, and it sounded like we were being checked at an airport getting onto a plane! You have to bring in all your stationary in a clear bag and your blazer will be checked when you go in! Hee hee! ;)

Anyway, I'm entering this card into this week's One Stop Craft Challenge. Their blogoversary is currently going on, so the theme is celebrations, so I've entered my Christmas card.

The image is Rubber Romance, the sentiment is Studio G, the papers are DCVW, the snowflake is Cuttlebug, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

Hope you have a nice weekend! :D

Bye for now, love Georgia xxxx

Just Magnolia Challenge 27

Hi everyone! Wahey, Monday - not, lol! At least it's half-term for me after this week!

Here is my card for this week's Just Magnolia Challenge, where the theme is 'bright and zingy', so you have to use bright and zingy colours.

I'm not sure about zingy, but I've tried my best to use brighter colours than I normally would.

The image is Magnolia, of course, the backing papers are Making Memories, the flowers are from Rica, the embellishments are from my stash and the colouring was done using Pro Markers, as always.

Well, that's it for now, have a great week! :)

Love, Georgia xx

Getting Crafty - But No Cards...

Hi there! I thought I'd show you a couple of things I've been making that aren't to do with cards.

At school, now I'm in year nine, every Thursday afternoon, me and the rest of my year get to have the afternoon off-timetable to do other activities of our choice, so I chose to do a textiles workshop where we got to make bags!

So, over the last six or seven weeks, I've been making this bag and it's been brilliant! It's a lovely atmosphere too, as it's all girls and we get to have the radio on in the background while we work.

I used applique on my bag (butterfly and flowers) and learnt how to sew buttons.

Here are a few pictures of my bag:


The Inside & Lining

Flower One

Flower Two

Butterfly

And finally, I wanted to quickly show you this cake I've made tonight. My mum's having a Breast Cancer Awareness Day at work tomorrow, and she asked if I fancied making a cake for her to sell, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Here it is!

Thanks for looking and enjoy the remainder of the week! :)

Creative Card Crew Challenge 31

Hi there! Happy Friday, lol!
Sorry for the lack of cards this week, I'm a bit addicted to the new Sims 3 game and I just got it, so I've been playing on it non-stop!

Here is my card I am entering into this week's Creative Card Crew Challenge, where the theme is celebration. So my card is celebrating Christmas!

The backing papers were given to me by my mum, the image is Whiff Of Joy, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the sentiment is Studio G. The embellishments are from my stash.


There was a 'Sponge A Teacher' session at school today for charity. I so wish I'd had some money on me because my old science teacher who I can't stand was one of the teachers! I can't wait until X Factor tomorrow, because it's the start of the live shows! :)

Anyway, bye for now and have a lovely weekend. Thank you for looking, and for all the fabulous entries into the Crafty Calendar Challenge so far!

Sketch & Stash Challenge 19

Hiya everyone. Well, look's like the weekend's almost up, but at least we still have X-Factor to look forward to in a bit, lol!

Just wanted to show you my card for this fortnight's Sketch & Stash Challenge. There is a fabulous sketch this fortnight, and I will definitely use it again.



The image is one of the adorable Swiss Pixies from CC Designs. I'm not sure where the paper was from. I forgot I had it. The flowers are Prima, the brad and gems are from my stash, the faux stitching stamp is borrowed from my mum. The glitter is Craft Planet, the colouring was done with Pro Markers and the embossing folder is by Cuttlebug.

Right, I'll go and enter the card into the S&S Challenge and then I can pack away and settle down for X Factor, lol. :)

Bye for now, and thanks so much for taking the time to look!
