Popping By to say Hello!

Hello there! Happy Tuesday!

Did you know that October is Popcorn Popping month in America?? No, nor did I! Another fab thing that I've learnt since being part of the Celebrate the Occasion DT!

Soooo....this week we'd like to see your projects featuring popcorn!

Now I have to warn you....I actually really like this card of mine...shocking I know, but I am so pleased with how this card turned out....

 

I recently won a voucher over at Sweet & Sassy and I just had to buy this cute popcorn image!! Isn't he a happy chappy?? This card makes me smile!

 

If my friend Anika pops by my blog she will recognise this card as I have just sent it to her!! Hello Anika!

 

I've used bright papers, both patterned and plain to compliment this cute image and sentiment. I've coloured the image with my Promarkers and added some sparkle with my Stickles.

 

Pop by the Celebrate the Occasion blog to see all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created for you this week!

 

I'd also like to enter this card over at Make it Monday!

 

Thanks for popping by today,

Too much purple??

Hello there...told you I'd be back! Can't miss a Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch!

It's been another busy Wednesday...work, a physio session, Brownies and Guides...so I always enjoy coming home and having some craft time! It's World Thinking Day on the 22nd February...a day when all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts think about the other members of the Guiding community around the world. Each year we have a theme and raise money for a charity and the guiding community....it's amazing to think that there are young women all around the world celebrating the same thing. At Brownies this evening we learnt about lots of different coutries in the world and we all brought in food from different countries - in total we represented 26 different countries! At Guides we explored the World Thinking Day theme which is gender equality and empowering women - we talked about what this meant and how small things can lead to big changes...it was a really interesting discussion!

Back to the crafting....and I think I might have used a bit too much purple on this card...I got carried away!

I loved using this sketch...thank you Arlana! Pop over to the SSW blog and see all the wonderful DT cards, they're all so gorgeous! The image is from Stamp Fairy...do you remember I won last week's challenge? This fab little fellow is called Kasi and he was drawn by Gerda...I hope I've done him justice!Isn't he cute?! I love the colour combo...all that purple and a splash of bright green...I think its really cheerful!

Right, I've got to get going, I've got a special card to finish off! Tommorow evening I'm going on a ghost bus tour in London with my sister, we've wanted to go for ages and I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks for popping by today,

Evening All.....

.....and welcome to Wedgie's Wonderful World! Since I am about to turn 30, I thought it was about time that I started getting my head around the wonderful world of the internet and get myself a blog! In the last year I have tried surfing, drifting (a fab motor sport...more to follow), bread making and I've witnessed my little sister tie the knot well before me!!

Now I thought I'd add another first and start boring the world with my jabbering.....my friends and family already say I talk too much, now I have another way of "talking"! Excellent!

I've been making cards for about four years now, and its a hobby I truely enjoy....I have recently also started dabbling in the world of jewellery making, and I hope to show some of my creations on here shortly.

Anyway, I'll stop jabbering for now....I hope someone will read this and maybe take some interest in this mad 29 year old (without sounding at all desperate there!!).

Watch this space!
