My 1st Double Diagonal Pocket Card and I'm worried...

Hi all of you blog mad people out there (sounds like i am speaking to myself) I hope those of you who have been lucky enough to go out in the gorgeous sunshine today have enjoyed soaking up the rays I went out earlier today and it was beautiful.

Tomorrow I have got to have dental treatment done and because I am so scared of needles and having any sort of treatment at the dentist I have to be sedated tomorrow afternoon and I am just a bit worried about it all really. know what your thinking 'what a big baby' and to be honest I would have to agree lol. I mean there are people out there a lot worse off then me but if you have a phobia it seems to stay with you really.I think it might be because of past expieriences when they have tried to take a tooth out but never numbed the area properly.

Oh well it will hopefully be over fairly quickly and I don't want to bore you all anymore with my sillyness so lets talk craft.

Today I have been making a double diagonal pocket card it was the first one I have ever made and it turns out that it was easier than I thought it would be.I used 2 gorjuss girl images,promarkers,bobunny double sided paper,nestabilities,ribbon and finished with some pretty red roses.The image on the tag is the goth gorjuss girl and she has a scull and cross bones in her hair but to make her look a little more sweet I covered the scull over with a rose and now she looks like butter wouldn't melt lol.

Thankyou all for listening to my moaning and taking a look at my latest creation the challenges I am entering this one into are:

MY 1ST ATC

Hello again 2 posts in one day i must be coming down with something lol.

This is my very 1st ATC that i have ever made and oh my gosh i thought it was really difficult as there is no space to put anything but I finally made it and this is how it turned out I still don't know what I think of ot to be honest maybe you could let me know what your thoughts are.Well for this micro card i used pink card,sweetpea stamp called Fairy of the night,glitter,promarkers,swirly stamp,purple embossing powder and for the sweet pea challenge we had to use pink,purple and an odd embellishment so i chose a small star gem for her necklace.
