Son's Birthday Card

Son-Of-Mine hit the big 1-3 this week...

I had been hoping I'd have a few days to create his card but the tricksy teen decided to be ill so I in fact had the grand total of ... 3 hours....

I had soo many ideas but had to throw them all away in favour of this card, which I had the idea of creating to illustrate his 'geeky' PC and game loving side and his love of Football...




The images are taken from the Smirk paper pack and the backing was from Crafters Companion Birthday cd printed straight onto the card. The ribbon didn't work so well but I ran out of time..

..but he adored it so ho-hum Mum Did Good....

Challenges:

CES- no designer papers
Totally Papercrafts- Happy Birthday
Crafty Creations- New Beginnings (*sniff he's a teenager....*)

Tried Something New..

..prob not going to bother doing New Stuff again after this... *sigh*

Lol it's been a nightmare.... Change Is Bad, mmmkay ;)

It all started out well.. freebie paper from Papercraft Inspirations Magazine... tag Good Luck Topper.... green ribbon from stash... yeay

Then I got my green sticky gems - as usual- I think I'm in love with gems... maybe addicted... Anyway, I thought NO... Do Something Different... so I got my clover embossing punch, punched some clovers and inked them and cut them out

Hmm...




Ah well, we live and learn... we live and learn.....

Give Up Chocolate? Me? Never!

I used my Born To Shop: Bubbles stash for this card and then added some bling... I did consider adding chocolate instead of the bling but that would be too icky.. so I ate it ;)

Bracelets

Bit weird headed at the moment so made some very naughty bracelets to counteract all the cute ones and 'name' ones I made at Chrimble... They are In The Usual Place...

...but made me feel a little too angry so I had to counteract the *other* way by making a smiley bracelet and here it be:



How are you supposed to tie the ends onto the findings? Are you supposed to glue them? I tied lots of knots but I'm scared if I wear it later it'll break all over the place or something.... so i'll let Little Myz wear it I think then I can blame her

Mwah ha HA ha HAAAA ;)

Christmas Crafty Presents

Christmas kissy for juuuuuuu



Hope you all had a yummy Christmas... I did too but glad I think to be back on Slimming World diet... too much of a good thing is obviously not a good thing as far as my bod is concerned... lol it complained sooo much....

Thanks to the wonders of the Amazon Wishlist I had lots of craftiness present wise... would you like to look at my new stashtastic stuff?

Well I'm going to show you anyway ;)

Got these lovely crafties from hubbster... a craft tote that hopefully can store some of my crafties away from the dinner table in the kitchen so that We May Eat There From Time To Time.... and a lovely border punch set....wooters!




Doodlebug stash set from my Mum and Dad... lots of fun fun sugar coated craftiness that can hopefully be flung together nicely



Nesties!!!!!!!!! ... nuff said... looove my nesties!



Some lovely coredinations cardstock from Mum and Dad.... having never used any before I decided to fling some that were in a sale on t'internet on my wish list so i could have a play At Some Point:



From the delightful Carmen I had embossing plates (have had a play with these and they ... are... *lush*)



She had made me some sort of book...



..but not a book!!!!




If you open it up it contains....

CHOCOLATEEE!!!!!



Nummers!

Very craftilicious indeed, young Carmen

Now, if you will excuse me the heating men have just been and our radiators are working for the first time in AGES so I'm going to lay on the bed without a jumper, coat or gloves and enjoy it for a bit while I eat some lovely SW curry :)

*mmmmmwah*
