Scrapbook Santa Page DIY

Hello!
So last night I decided to make a little addition to my scrapbook to celebrate that its OCTOBER AND I CAN OFFICIALLY START BEING EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS LEGALLY.

I was also quite proud of how it turned out so of course I am going to make it into a blog. You know me.

For this recipe you will need:

• Hole Puncher
• Scissors
• Red, black and yellow paper
• Pencil
• 30 cm ruler (the widest you can get)
• The designated scrapbook
• Glue
• Buttons

 First of all, measure the size of your scrapbook page. You'll want to know the width and the length to be able to cut out the necessary amount of paper.

 Next on the list is the belt of Santa. The length of it should be the width of your page. If your ruler is wide enough, you can push it against the side and mark out the other side. 

Once you cut out the long rectangle you should and up with some thing that looks like this. don't stick it on just yet though. 

Now we're going to take care of  the red background which is the Santa's pants. Uhhhh I mean coat.
What I found was the easiest way to do is push the piece of paper right against where you want it to be and then putting the page over it to mark out the length. It comes out more precise than with measuring it with a ruler, well at least in my case.

 Now if a single piece of paper won't fill out the whole page then just grab two and measure out how big each one will be.

 Now cut them out to fit the page using the measurements from before and make sure you place the seam in the right place so that you can cover it up with the belt. 

Now all you'll need to do is stick on the belt and the buttons. To add the small detail on the belt cut out three small circles in the yellow paper using the hole punch. Cut out a rectangle that is around 1cm wider than the actual belt so that it has a nice rim to it. Also, don't forget the little rectangle to go inside the buckle so it looks sort of realistic. 

All you have to do now is glue it all on!

You can also write something on there like Hohoho 2014, or something like that as a little page marker which I skipped because I thought it looked better this way. 

It takes 15 minutes but looks quite good so you should definatlet try it out

Not Cd wishlist

Hello Heather here. So my last wishlist was just Cds so I have decided to also do a stuff that isn't cd's wishlist ( although I have added to my cd wishlist ). SO here I give to you

My not Cd wishlist

Kitsch natural tie dye hair ties

Yeap I am in love with these overpriced Hair ties but I really like them. I have pretty thick hair which means it does all kinds of shiz and also if I just randomly tie it up it gets so annoying I take it down. Also I am a sucker for cute bracelets so I will wear these as bracelets most of the time.

Kraft cream A5 exersize notebook with plain pages

I would ask for the whole of paper chase but I think it is a little too expensive. But I am obsessed with brown covered A5 notebooks with plain pages. Also this one has brown pages in the middle so I thought I would do a little scrapbook section just for the cuteness.

Okay now a quicker list because reasons ( my laptop needs charging )

Maze runner books 

I saw the trailer for the movie and thought it looked good so I have decided to try and read the books too :)

Pokemon Alpha sapphire

I pre ordered this ages ago and cannot wait. Technically it is not for Christmas but I wish to own this therefore it can be on my wishlist.

Present ideas for ... Mum

Hello everyone so I have decided to start doing lists of present ideas for all the peoples :) So I am going to do today's present ideas for your mum ( eyyy ) I am going to add 5 ideas that you can get her for rather cheap as I know that at Christmas time there are a lot of people to buy for and you don't want to spend all your money at once.

1. Chocolate - Or sweets but everyone loves chocolate. Also at Christmas time you can get some really nice boxes of chocolate that can be really nice and decorative that look really christmassy and nice

2. Bath and soap stuff - So who can't agree with soap right? You can get some really nice gift sets that again are christmassy and decorative

3. A picture of you two in a frame - A really cute and personal gift. Getting a photo printed at a shop is really cheap and frames are really nice too.

Colds and beds

Hello everyone. So as you may have collected from the past two posts it is CHRISTMAS COLD TIME! And Lena posted a list of cold strategies and stuff so I thought I would give my top cold tip.

Sleep and make your bed comfortable

So you know when you have a cold and every five mins have to st up and blow your nose , yeah. Also when I have a cold I get really cold except my head. As you can see I have a double bed so I usually arrange a pile of pillows so I can be more propped up. Being more propped up is better as it opens up your breathing and also all the snot goes down and not in your nose ( gross sorry )

Wrapping up warm and getting loads of blankets and pillows is one of my favourite things about Christmas.

Happy sleeping

Heather

Cold defence strategy!

Hello :)

I feel like I do a lot of lists and tips on this blog but oh wells. lel what can you do right

Like a very wise lady once said (basically the other 50% of this blog, lol she ain't dat wise ;p) - it's not truly winter without a cold.

Now you might know what I'm about to say.
.
.
.
I am REALLY ill.
.
.
.

Don't you just love waking up at 7am before school and realising I CAN'T BREATHEEEEEEE

And then you snort in all the mucus blocking your respiratory system Ha take that mucus full of antibodies I need!

Then the headache kicks in, and the pain on your whole face, and the sore throat. It all gets worse with every second until you realise. You have a cold.

*Insert dyn dyn dyyyyn here*

Throughout the two days I managed to come up with a few ways to deal with the painz to spare your souls - basically, I suffered so you can live.

1 - Take a shower

As lame as you might think this is, it works. If you have a severe case my whole face hurtiosis, then this is the remedy for you. 
If you wear thick socks straight away as well, you'll keep them nice and warm so that's cool.
Also the steam can sometimes unblock your nose so that's cool.












2 - Take a nap

About 90% of my headaches is caused by going to bed at around 12 pm and then waking up at 7am... so that's fun. If  you have nothing to do and your head is about to pop, don't take painkillers because they don't work most of the time, just have a nap instead of collecting enough bells to build a cafe on Animal Crossing.








3 - Have tea

Like I mentioned before the steam can unblock your nose but also warm your insides which is nice since I'm always cold when I have a cold (see what I did there). So that's a thing.
Also you gets all your mucus inside of your nose, mouth and lung gets more liquidy and so you can cough/sneeze/blow it out easier.

That's all I could think of since colds are pesky little things and I try to ignore them :/

I shall see you lovely peeps in two days but for now...

92 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!
