Twilight Girls Night

 Hello everyone, hope your all well. 

Me and some of my friends are HUGE Twilight fans so with the release of the Breaking Dawn Part 1 DVD looming we decided to have a Twilight night. 
One of my good friends and I both love a theme and of course we had to have a Twilight theme for our Saturday night get together which meant she dealt with the food and drinks and I done the tags and place cards etc. Here is some piccies of some of my tags etc in action.

Vodka jelly...


Our 'blood' shots...


I love the finish look of the bottles of blood!


And the water from Isle Esme... 


 I handmade these mini popcorn boxes, they are TINY!!!!!! But we managed to get some popcorn into them...



My friend makes cakes and cupcakes as a living so of course we had to have Twilight themed cupcakes.  The cupcakes were called Love Bites as they had jam inside! YUMMERS!!!!! 
Check out the amazing teeth marks on the front cupcake!!!!



 Our gift bags with thank you tags...


And two very special men dropped by to make sure us girls were well behaved!!


 Sorry for all the photos but wanted to show you the tags etc in use!

You Tube

Hey everyone, hope your all well.
Sorry I haven't been around much but I have been working hard.  I will hopefully do some posts next week for you all. I have been doing a lot of SMASH* booking but didn't want to keep putting all the pages on here as it was getting quite time consuming. I am going to do a video once I have completed (or almost completed!) the blue SMASH* book so you can all have a proper nosey and let me know what you think.

I have started using YouTube a lot more and wanted to give you the link to my channel so you can all keep up to date with my videos. If you have a channel on YouTube then let me know so I can follow you on there and keep up to date with you as well.
Click here to be taken directly to my YouTube Channel.

I will try and get some makes uploaded to here for you all... I have been soo busy lately that I just haven't had the time.  I am off to the SECC next week (I am SOOOO excited!!) so I will definately be posting to YouTube and also here to show you all what I have been buying.

Exciting News - Charisma Cardz DT

Good morning everyone, I have some majorly exciting news to tell you all... I have been asked by Carlyann to join the Charisma Cardz Challenges DT??!!   I had to only think about this for all of two seconds before I excitedly sent a message straight back saying YES YES YES!!!!!  I have known about this for a week or two but I couldn't tell you until today!! This is an absolutely brilliant opportunity for me and I am feeling soo many emotions about it... excitement, shock, nervousness... a mixture of everything but overall I am excited to get started and couldn't wait to get going.

 If your a fan of Charisma Cardz Challenges then you will already know that there is two teams.. Team Carlyann and Team Gemma. Challenges are set every Thursday morning and one week a member from Team Carlyann will pick the theme and the next week it will be a member from Team Gemma and so on. I am on Team Carlyann and this week is our team's week and Clare has chosen the theme which is Love Is In The Air (click on the theme name to be taken straight to the challenge). 

Charisma Cardz Challenges always has fantastic sponsors and this week we (feels so strange saying that!!!) are sponsored by the amazing....
