Father's Day

Hello! Wow, I can't believe how hot it is today and how hot is was yesterday! I decided to photograph my card outside today because it's so nice and bright!
I made this card for my dad for Father's Day, coming up in a couple of weeks. I thought this cute High Hopes image would be perfect, ha ha!

Materials:

Image: High Hopes

Sentiment: Printed Off The Computer

Lettering: Cuttlebug - Fairy Alphabet

Papers: Basic Grey - Max & Whiskers

Cardstock: Bazzil

Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy

Twine: From Liz

Lace: From Heather

Buttons: From My Stash

Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils

Eyelets: Unknown - From My Mum's Stash

Glossy Accents: Anita's

I'm entering this card into these challenges:

- Basic Grey Challenges - Shabby Chic (Torn Edges and Distressing)

- Creative Inspirations - Cute Bears/Animals Only

- Cute Card Thursday - Embellish It!

- Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - Lots of Layers

- Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Father's Day/For A Male

- The ABC Challenge - V Is For... Variety (At Least Three Types of Embellishment)

I used Glossy Accents on my image, which you can see a bit more clearly in the picture below. It looks like he's getting a good tan in the sun, hee hee! I'm really pleased with how it turned out and I really enjoyed doing the torn effect on the backing paper and the image. I saw it on one of my mum's vintage cards and thought I'd try it and I think I'll definitely use that on cards in future!

I've had a lovely week off school! I went to see the new Pirates of the Carribean film the other night and then went to Pizza Hut afterwards, and I thought the film was really good!

I've also been shopping and tonight I'm going to see Take That in Manchester for their Progress Tour, I'm so excited! I will definitely post some photos soon!

Anyway, I'd better go now and tidy up my crafting mess before I start getting ready to go later on! Bye for now and thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a lovely week!

Love, Georgia xx

Boy's Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Sorry for my lack of posting within the last week. Looks like the snow is starting to clear a little now, although it's in that horrible stage where it's partly melted and it's gone all slushy and brown! Yuck! I've had great fun in it, but at least it'll be safer on the roads soon.

I decided to make a boy's birthday card, as I saw this cute image is my image box, and male cards aren't something I do a lot of. I was downstairs when I found my mum's Dymo machine, and I thought it would be nice to personalise the card in some way, by putting a name on it, but for who? My brother's birthday isn't until June, but I thought I might as well get it done early!

I'm entering it into this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge, where the theme is: 'All New!', where you can enter your card if you've used something new on it. I've used new papers.

Materials:
Image: Alota
Sentiment: Alota
Name: Dymo Machine
Eyelets: PaperMania
Colouring: Pro Markers
Backing Paper: K&Co.
Embellishments: From my stash


















Thanks so much for looking and enjoy the rest of your week! :)
