Flower Power & The A-Z of Me

Hiya, hope you're having a great week! It's getting pretty autumnal out there now - lots of the leaves are starting to change colour now, and it's been so windy over the past few weeks!
I suppose this card is me trying to hold onto the last dregs of summer, hee hee! Winter is definitely my favourite season of all though - I love Christmas and the snowy weather, it's so cosy! :)

I wanted to be quick with making this card tonight, as I've got a bit of revision to do for a history assessment tomorrow, so I used Pro Markers to colours my image, instead of polychromatic pencils.


Materials:
Image: Magnolia
Sentiment: My Mind's Eye
Papers: My Mind's Eye
Cardstock: Bazzil
Colouring: Pro Markers
Doily, Pins, Spacer, Flowers, Brads and Gems: From My Stash
Glitter: Stickles - Pink
Ribbon & Sparkly Fibres: From My Stash
Butterfly Punch: From My Stash

I wasn't sure how this card would turn out at first, because my Pro Marker colouring is a bit rusty, because I haven't used them for so long, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out! :)

Over on Laura's blog, I saw an A-Z list that seems to be going around different blogs at the moment, so I thought I'd do one too so you can learn a little bit more about me. Feel free to do one for yourself too if you like and keep passing it on! :)

OK, here goes!

A - Age: Fifteen

B - Bed Size: Single

C - Chore That You Hate: Washing Up

D - Dogs: Not really a dog person, more of a cat lover in case you hadn't already noticed, hee hee!

E - Essential Start to Your Day: Early morning fix of toast and Marmite and kids' TV programmes - I'm just a big kid, hee hee!

F - Favourite Colour: I love pink - always have, always will!

G - Gold or Silver: Hmm... Silver

H - Height: 5ft 7"

I - Instruments You Play: A little bit of self-taught piano, but not much - I'm not very musical!

J - Job Title: Um, does student count? :)

K - Kids: I am one! :D

L - Live: Cheshire, North-West England

M - Must Haves: Family and friends...oh and chocolate!

N - Nicknames: George/Geeg

O - Overnight Hospital Stays: Meningitis as a baby

P - Pet Peeves: People who think they're better than everyone else, rudeness, selfishness

Q - Quote From A Movie: 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless, really. Do the stars gaze back? Now, that's a question.'
Taken from my favourite film, Stardust - I love it!

R - Rhubarb Or Custard: Niether, yuck!

S - Save Or Spend: Hmm... Save for a bit, but then spend, spend, spend! :)

T - Tea Or Coffee: Definitely tea - I hate coffee!

U - Underwear: Comfy, but pretty!

V - Vegetable You Hate: I like most vegetables, but not so keen on parsnips!

W - What Makes You Run Late: The snooze button!

X - X Rays You've Had: I haven't had one, luckily!

Y - Yummy Food That You Make: Cakes, soups, bread and Shepherd's Pie!

Z - Zoo Animal: I like most of them, really, but I like seeing the different varieties of monkeys, like pygmy marmosets and lemurs, so cute!

Well, that's it! Let me know if you do an A-Z list too, so I can come and see! Thanks so much for looking and have a lovely weekend.

Love, Georgia xx
