Happy Birthday Bethany

on October 13, 2010

Today is a special day – it’s my niece’s birthday!!

Happy Birthday Bethany!!

Bethany is coming to visit at the end of the month, and we are very excited already. We’ve been wracking our brains trying to think of a million exciting things to do whilst she is over here with my mum and dad. I’m sure we’ll get some crafting in there somewhere! Lets just say that Bethany loves her craftiness just as much as I do!

So lets talk about the card:

You’ll recognise another piece of black cardstock as the base! Yes, yes…i’m getting a little addicted to this fun colour for a cardbase! The paper is from My Minds Eye Quite Contrary collection, and I love the way the colours contrast with the black background. I have the 6×6 pack, and the colours are fantastic, and there is also a few pages full of cut out images, which is what I have used for the topper. To add a bit of flair, I embossed the flourish stamp in black embossing powder and used adhesive pearls to embellish the image. Then I used stickles
to create a glittery border to the topper – to give an even more girly feel!

The flower was given to me as a gift, so I’m not sure where it comes from, but I stuck it in place with some trusty gluedots! Gotta love those gluedots!

Thanks for stopping by, and i’ll be back soon with another crafty creation!

My Little Jelly Bean

on October 10, 2010

Before I talk about todays project, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for being so patient whilst we have been fiddling with the website. It looks pretty different, and I really really hope you like it. I also wanted to give a shout out to my darling hubby, who has put A LOT of time and energy into Hungry Heffy Crafts lately, and has helped immensely in getting the site to its current state. I love you Bear! xo

Also a reminder that there are now ‘share this’ buttons at the bottom of all the posts, so if you see something that you like, please share it on facebook or twitter, or email it to a friend. You may have already noticed that we are also launching a newsletter, so go get yourself signed up so you can get a little bit of Hungry Heffy inspiration delivered straight to your inbox.

But lets talk scrapbooking! I am really excited to share this layout with you today. Another pegnancy layout, quel surprise! I may have to warn you that I will probably be doing quite a lot of these over the next few months!

Everyone loves jellybeans…right?

Well, I love mine a whole LOT, thats for sure! Although, admittedly, I think its no longer much of a jellybean. According to iPregnancy, my jellybean is now 14cm and already has fingerprints!!! 😀

For this layout I was feeling particularly inspired by Nichol Macgouirk, if you haven’t checked out her blog, jump on over and feel the wave of inspiration. I love her work.

I wanted to go for a clean and simple style, with bright jellybean-esque colours, and I love the end result.

Pac-Man Fun!

on October 7, 2010

Hi everyone,

Yeaaaah, you all remember this little dude, don’t ya!?

I bet every single one of you have a ‘waka waka waka’ noise going through your head just now, huh?

After setting myself the challenge to use black cardstock last week, I had a piece lying around on my craft desk that was staring at me.

You may also remember that I mentioned that I was making some cards for Craigy’s workmates, and well, this one was inspired by his colleague Phil, who has the most awesome pac man hoodie.

Put these two things together: black cardstock and some computer gamey inspiration, and the result is this quick, cute card!

Such little effort resulted in a card that is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone of the pac man era.
