Witchy 21st

Morning all!

It's a little odd for me to be posting on a tuesday! but that's my day off this week, i'm in till christmas eve! do you have snow where you are? i'm feeling a little left out in my part of the UK, some places have lots it's been trying to snow all week yet it's all gone and not even so much as a snowflake has settled yet it's so very cold out!

I'm here this morning with a project yay!!! i've been trying to upload best part of an hour stupid flamin virgin media is soooooo unreliable wait till after xmas i'm off to sky!!! grrr! anyways... my project today is one i created back in november but forgotten i'd not blogged about it!

As you can see i've used one of Krista Smith's gorjuss saturated canary images....

This was actually an ordered card from my mum! she wanted a 21st birthday card for her friend at work she works with... all i got told is she liked witches and she was talking about some burning rain of death (part of a film or something) so i tried my best to incorprate that! lol

And i even managed to decorate inside which isn't something i normally get time to do!
I've used the yummy basic grey erie papers for this card thought they went perfect with the colour combo i chose!

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
*One stitch at a time - anything goes
*Sparkles forum - anything but christmas

Makes a change to see something different that christmas lol
Here's the final thing!

My SMASH* Adventures Part 6....

Heya all!

I thought i would stop by my blog this evening with my latest smash* adventures... i've been snowed under with work this last week or so i've not had much time to breathe let alone play... it's so tireing these nights and with still coughing i'm feeling rather yucky at the moment... 5 months of coughing isn't right is it? i keep getting fobbed off with different things at docs etc that i'm about ready to kick butt!!! lol...

Anyways...

Before i'm allowed to move on with my Smash*ing Strudel christmas cat wanted me to post his piccy he had took the other day hehe!!! he found his christmas hat in the cat drawer of treats and naturally had to have it on! Tho secretly i think he love's it!! haha!!!

So yeah.... my Smash* Adventures part 6!!! have you this feeling this is a long winded process! well.... there's only 40 pages in each book but double that do double sided papers and away we go lots of posts.... i kinda broke my rule of doing one book before i started the next with only like 6 pages left to do in my retro blue folio i wanted well couldn't resist in starting my Orange folio (piccys to follow soon)

So here's some more pages from my blue book!

As some of you know i'm a bit of a tattoo freak! i have 12 i think at last count or maybe 13! lol i'm always on the look out for new ideas of what to have next! says me who's afraid of needles but it's different!!! anyone with a tattoo knows that!!! lol

There's so many wonderful ideas i can't choose half the time! I'm really addicted to washi tapes at the moment in my book they're cropping up all the time! and oooo how i love that want it smash* tape it's fantastic!!!

I wasn't really sure what to do with this page 'cheap thrills' so i decided to have things about being cheap, saving pennys etc, and my many a craft bargain!

Everyone needs a top 10 chocolate page!! ok so it was a mix of choc and sweets and fizzy pops hehe! did ya see my 1p's!!!! hehe kinda quirky for the remembering about 1p sweets when i was younger (also didn't help i was eating haribo at the time and the 1p's were sat there on my desk then i had this lightbulb moment!!) haha!

Men i like!!! well except my hubby of course! i have a thing for mr worldwide (pitbull) and Robert downey JR! ooooohhh!!! hehe ok so how many of you think im sad right now?? lol Well... it gets worse! yep Vin Deisel! and tom cruise and yep that is John barrowman behind him too! maybe it's my age... i dunno lol

This page is a little random i didn't do much to it as i quite like the design to be fair, i added a vellum 'imagine' quote and some pinterest bits and journally bits too it...

This page is all about my design teams i'm on! and lots of little notes about!!

And of course i had to have a little page about my crafting which really now thinking about it should have gone in my orange book as i've just started that about craft lol!!

Anyways! thanks for stopping by this evening! Hope you all have a lovely week! I'll be back soon with some more creations!

Huggles!

little cracker....

Morning all!

Well the christmas tunes are well under way at work and the store is so busy i feel like i'm going insane with crackers! it's only natural i'd pop in this morning with my new creation that is all about Crackers!!

so.... my project i've seen so many lovely handmade 3D items before that i wanted to try something new for me! so i decided seems im going crackers down the buiscuit isle at work why not make my own cracker!!!

I wanted to keep it traditonal christmassy colours so i stuck to gold green and red! and i absolutly adore the way it came out and so very quick and simple to make really!! I even got to play with my magnolia stash again! those poinsetta doohickeys are lush when they're cut out, they don't have any score marks unfortunatly so i did my own and stickled them too!

The Candy brads are soooo cool i think i had them in a christmas kit i brought from QVC a few years ago if anyone knows where i can get more please let me know i adore them!!!
