Glitter Me Silly

Firstly, apologies for the slightly blurry photo – my camera skills go down drastically when there’s rubbish light and gale force winds getting in the way!!  You get the idea though!!

This week at Cupcake Crafts as you can see, we have a very patriotic theme of red, white and blue.  I didn’t know what to do to begin with but then found this fabulous digi download over at Summertime Designs.  I can’t recommend enough visiting Summer Driggs’ blog – she is so inspirational and has a lot of kits (aimed at scrapbookers but with lots of gorgeous papers etc) all for free!!  This paper is from the “Freedom” kit and I have teamed it with a fabulous WOJ stamp.  She is, of course coloured with Promarkers.

Well, as I’m preparing this post at precisely 1.30 am I suppose I better keep it short and get to bed!!  It is a school night after all!!!

I have finally gotten around to doing the wall name for Pippa’s room.  I made them for Sophie and Georgia EONS ago and just have Olivia and (a reluctant) Daniel still to do!!  Here is a close up at a couple of the letters.  I have used 8” chipboard letters by Making Memories which I believe are now discontinued!!  Good job I bought all I needed when I did!!  I have traced around the letter onto my favourite paper du jour , Blueberry Hill by Papermania – I adore Cath Kidston which this paper is so reminiscent of.  On each letter I have embellished with a little something – a ribbon, butterflies, flowers etc.  They look really effective on the wall when they’re done and really don’t take much time at all.

Well, I am doing a nice Sunday roast for what feels the first time in a century!!  Over the summer holidays we were so out of our routine and I feel like I need to get back to some good wholesome cooking!!!  Don’t worry, it won’t last!!

Have a great day – and thanks to all those who have left comments on my candy post and become followers.  I am enjoying reading what’s on all your Christmas lists!!  It’s making me really excited and christmassey-feeling!!!
