Summer Challenge #2

Hello everyone! Are you having a good week?

Today I'm sharing challenge #2 of my Summer craft challenge! The theme

 is to "Craft something Christmas." I love making things Christmas and me

 and Mum always decorate the mantelpiece in the living room. It's so much fun!   

Today I would like you to meet Betty the Snowlady! Isn't she adorable!

 She's so quick & easy to make, I used a white sock, some string, a packet of 

rice, a piece of fabric, some buttons and a few little gems.  I think she's going

to be the Mum to a whole family of little snowmen!

I think  next time we're going to get thicker socks because so the body will

look as white as the hat but I'm really happy with it for a 1st attempt, 

If you want to have a go at making your own Betty let me know & I'll show

you how I made mine.

I would love to enter Betty into some challenges.

Challenges I'm entering:

The Summer Challenge Begins...

 

Hi everyone! I hope you're all okay and enjoying the week. I'm

so sorry I haven't blogged in over a month...I'm such a bad blogger

but, I've got something that should keep my blog updated and hopefully

get me some more followers! I broke up from school a week ago so I've had a

week off already but I've still got over 6 weeks left! I'm loving the holidays

so far but I've been quite bored so my mum came up with a summer challenge

for me to do. She'd been planning it for a while and when she eventually

told me about it, I was so happy! I've got 18 challenges that I'm going to do and

 blog every other day. The challenges are crafting, sewing, baking, drawing,

 reading, writing, it basically covers everything I love to do! I'm hoping

 that because I'll be blogging a few times a week, it will get me

more followers! Once I've completed a challenge, I make like a

scrapbook page on that challenge.

 

The first challenge was to make a journal cover. I made the

cover using some 12x12 papers out of my mum's stash, I wanted to

add a bit of texture and 3dness, if that's a word lol, so I took a scrap

of another piece of the same paper and cut around the flowers and

stuck them onto the ones that were already on the page. I added

a couple of embellies that I love the look of!

 

Overall, I'm really happy with how it turned out and I

can't wait to do some more challenges! So make sure

to check back every couple of days to see what I've done.

 

Thanks for visiting my blog, see you soon!

May ATC's

 

 

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry I've been a terrible blogger recently but

I've been really busy with school because it's nearly the end of the school

year which means lots of assessments and lots of homework! But

im back and I will make sure to stay up to date with my blog!

Last months ATC theme was Flowers. I had so much fun

making these ATC's because I got to make an inky background

which I love doing and then I stamped some flowers onto it

and stuck some little seed beads in the middle of them. Finally,

I cut them down to the right size and matted and layered them

onto some black card.

Thanks for visiting my blog, see you soon!

Stitching ATC'S

 

`Hi everyone, happy Monday! If you didn't know

already, my mum runs her own ATC swap. I'll leave

the link here. I join in with the ATC swap and April's

theme was Stitching-real or faux. My mum told me a

 quote about stitching and I loved it: "A stitch in

time saves 9". So I decided to use this quote on my

ATC's. If you haven't already, you should definitely go

over and visit my mum's blog and join the ATC swap!

I loved how these turned out and it was so easy and

simple to make!

Journal 52-Collage Crazy

 

 

Hi everyone! How are you? I want to share

a journal page with you. So this Journal

page, the prompt is Collage Crazy and that

was prompt 16.  For this page, I went through

my mums old photos and picked some of my

favourite ones from my childhood; I've got pictures

of my family, my Best Friend Jess, me and my mum,

my first day of secondary school, all sorts! I love

this page because it reminds me of all of the

good memories from my childhood. I'm going to keep

this Journal when I'm all grown up and I can look back

at all of these pages.

 

Thanks for visiting my blog, see you soon!

Journal 52-Colouring Book Inspiration

 

Hi everyone you okay? Haven't done much today, we've got the
day off school for May Day or something so I've just been watching
 a marathon of my favourite programme on the sofa all day! On
Friday though, me and my school went to go watch the Tour De
Yorkshire as it was coming to Scarborough and it was so cool watching
them all go past! Anyway, I know you're probably getting

sick of seeing these but I love making them so much! So the other day
I was looking down my list of Journal 52 prompts and I was picking
out which one I would do in my Journal. I got to the prompt "Colouring
Book Inspiration." and thought about that time when all of us we're kids and
 were painting/colouring and we would do the typical green grass and
blue sky with the sun in the corner of the page. Oh and a house with
 stick people living in it? What I decided to do was create that using
my mums paint stash. I have to say, I love the way it turned out...very child
like! This was week 10's prompt and if you haven't already, you should
definitely go and have a go at it yourself...it's so much fun!

Thanks for visiting my blog!
See you next week!

Journal 52-Just Write

 

Hi everyone! So, yes I'm sharing ANOTHER

Journal 52 page! Today, I'm sharing prompt

no. 11 which is...JUST WRITE! So for

this page I made a pink and purple background using

Dylusion sprays and Dabbers and then

just simply wrote. I wrote about some of the

most random things but I just wrote! After that I
did a border around the edge of the paper and...
that's it! That's one of the things I love about
these Journal pages, it can be the most
simplest page but can still look really
good!
Thanks for visiting  blog, see you next week!
