Charisma Cardz DT

Hello all, hope your all well, it's nearley the weekend : )

Well it's Charisma day again! Thursday's dont half come round quick.

The theme is Spring has sprung.

Well I went all green and grassy coloured, altough some very dodgy lighting was going on!

I used a Robyns Fettish Image who are one of this weeks sponsers.

We would love for you to join us, so pop on over. x

Charisma DT Card.

Morning. Can you believe it's Thursday again? Firstly I would like to apologise for my absence again!!! As some of you know my baby girl was born too soon, and had a few complications. She was sheduled to have an op at the end of January, however due to her having the cough/cold that I think every one had it was cancelled. Thank fully it has been resheduled to the end of Feb - so fingers crossed.

In the mean time we have visited various hospitals/doctors having appointments etc. I cant wait for the day when they don't need to see her anymore.

Also we have been very busy promoting our business, and I think all the hard work is finally starting to pay off, as booking are coming in.


If your in the South West and planning a wedding or event, and need chair covers, candelabras, ostrich feathers, giant martini vases, a sweet bar, balloon decor, then you can see our lovely new holding page here, and you can join us on Face book here - or just take a little lookie if you like.


Anyway to the task in hand this week at Charisma the theme is


Mythical/Fantasy

To make this card I used a lovely Penny Black stamp, coloured with promarkers, a tonne of glamour dust on the wings, yummy DCWV sparkly papers, an Xcut punch, and coloured card stock, and a craft work cards sentiment.

We would love to see you interpretation of this weeks challenge.

Penny Black Fairy

Afternoon, hope your all well, and your homes are all ok with these bad winds we have been having, were keeping everything crossed our house, fence panels stay in place. Last year at our old house we had a huge trampoline find its way over the fences into our garden - wernt we lucky? : ) shame it belonged to the little girl a couple of doors down lol, it safely made its way home.

Anyway onto today's card. No surprises another Penny Black image, coloured with promarkers and glamour dust to the wings. The card stock is all coordination's, sentiment is from craft work cards, those little sparkly gems are like mirrors, they are lovely, I don't know what shop they are from as I brought them at a craft fair.

Is anyone going to the craft fair at Taunton on Sunday??? I'm in two minds at the mo! (Cant believe I'm saying that out loud! lol)

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Truley scrumptious: Sketch & Happy Birthday (optional)
Delightful challenge: Glitter

Charisma DT - Folds

Evening, I can't believe it is Thursday again, time is flying by, and its got so cold, I really don't like the winter, but never mind.

Anyway onto this weeks Charisma challenge, the theme is FOLDS, there are 3 fantastic prizes up for grabs - go take a peek!

I decided to make a box, I downloaded the template from Canon! It was really easy and straight forward, I just love the curved top.

The paper is a download from Pink Petticoat, the card and ribbon is from my stash, and the sentiment is from Craft Work Cards.

Sun glasses required

lol...... I forgot how much I love putting bold bright colours together, like purple and orange!

I have used a Penny Black stamp I brought ages ago, and loved love loved it as soon as I saw it - then it never saw ink! Shameful or what? Oh well I changed that this afternoon! I stamped her out several times so I will probably colour her in in a load of different combos, so hope not to bore everyone with her. then decoupage the flower, added loads of lovely glamour dust to her wings, and mounted her onto some bazill, having punched the edges with a yummy Mather Stewart border punch, I also mounted the craft work cards sentiment onto a punched circle and punched scalloped circle.

Hope you have all had a good weekend, we managed to do some gardening this weekend! Exciting or what? Counting down the days until the Exeter craft fair : ) but the decisions do I take the pushchair attachment or the pram? What ever happened to what shoes/bag shall I wear?! lol...

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:
Penny Black at Allsorts: Punches - they also have a DT call (good luck)
Allsorts Challenge: Punches
Corrosive Challenge: Clean & dust something off = stamp
Cute Card Thursday: Tweet & flutter - bird.

Sugar Bowl are searching for

Sweeties..... Hurry though as the DT call closes at noon.

Not really sure what I think I am playing at here, but I thought what the heck! Nothing ventured and all!!! So many uber talented peops out there, but at least I am am showing an interest, after all I'm not sure of a Sugar Nellie stamp or 2! lol

Anyways onto my card, I used a Gorjuss Girl stamp, coloured with promarkers, dashed all the dots and other little places with good old glamour dust, cut out with a nestie, mounted onto papermania card stock, which I embossed with a cuttlebug folder, the flowers and brads are from my stash, and the sentiment is craftwork cards.

It's all very simple - but thats me! Dodgy lighting to, so gutted to have realised it was dark at 8pm! Whats that all about, I dont like the long dark days of winter, but never mind.

Good luck to everyone who entered, if you have time to make a card and fancy being considered you can find the details here. x

Stamposaurus Princesses

I'm on a role...... 3 cards in 3 days! Here is a card I used with one of my Stamposaurus stamps I splurged on at a craft fair a few months back, but it has never seen ink (so very rude) lol.....
I coloured it with pro markers, and added lashings of glitter.

Hope you have all had a lovely Sunday, mine has been rather boring - house work ruled the day I'm afraid! Boo, at least I'm on top of it now.

I will post a pic of the girlie soon, those lovely peeps in the hospital shaved her head, and as great as they are at the medical stuff, there was not a lesson in hair cutting! lol She looks a bit like cage fighter Chuck Liddell at the mo, all be it with out the tattoos. lol

I am entering this card to the following challenges:

Moving along with the times: Glitter

Sketch & stash: Sketch

Just scraps: Anything goes

City crafter: Isn't she lovely

Punches

Evening, second post of the day - had a great time this morning, met some really lovely ladies and a gent, we were a right mixed bunch, there was a lady in the craft class this morning who was celebrating her 88Th birthday today - I hope I can still craft when I am her age.

I booked myself into the last class before Christmas which is next Sat - so looking forward to that one!

This card was easy and fun to make, I am trying to be as versatile as poss with my Stampin Up loveliness. Whilst blog hopping this eve - I came across a challenge Crazy 4 Challenges, this weeks theme is PUNCHES, I used a Mather Stewart punch for the grass, and two other Stampin Up punches for the circles and the sentiment. I love the bold bright colours from Stampin Up, they are so fresh and clean.

P.S Gino 2 win. x

Anyone For Anya GDT

I cant believe the second week as GDT over at Anyone For Anya has rolled round already :( Oh well, here is my card, the colours are not quite what they look here IRL - rubbish winter dark days - roll on the summer.

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Dawny P for having me on the GDT - I was so chuffed to be asked and have had a great time. I will be back playing as normal next weekend. x

Anyone For Anya GDT

I can finally share my up most chuffed ness (quality English lol) I was on my honeymoon in Mexico when I found out I had won a spot as a GDT member on the Anyone For Anya GDT - today is my first week. I am so excited I know its daft but hay ho! :)

Here is my card - this weeks theme is:

MAKE A FAKE

anything fake, or faux if you are posh, on your cards this week. You could use a border punch to create fake lace, or do a bit of faux stitching or faux flowers.

I used my doily punch for faux lace, a flower punch and some sparkly gems!

its weird making a card for a challenge and not entering it! lol.

Hope your all having a lovely weekend, I'm off to my bezzies Virgin Vie party later, which will be lovely, but in good old Sunday style have just watched a bit of QVC whilst channel hopping and Bobbi Brown was on - I love Bobbi Brown, I tried it earlier this year and have never looked back, I wore it for my wedding and it felt amazing. Needless to say I just parted with a few pennies! Oh well - looking forward to the postie arriving. x

Totally Gorjuss

There is a new challenge just started called Totally Gorjuss which has been made for everyone to showcase their beautiful Gorjuss gorgeous creations. The first challenge is running now, I just had to play along, the theme is:
PINK
So here is my card. Apologies for the dodgy pic - these nights are to dark to early now.

To make this card I used:
Image: Gorjuss Girl from Funky Kits.
Medium: Pro Markers.
Sentiment: Craft Work Cards.
Other: Pretty paper and ribbon from stash, bazill and Mather Stewart punch.

?T@riple Challenge

Nothing like getting a card in for a competition in the 11Th hour! I have been trying to get this one done all week - life has kept getting in the way, how rude lol..... This is my entry to this weeks Anyone For Anya challenge, which was a great sketch by Dawny P. I enjoyed this one.

I am also entering this into The Pink Elephant challenge, where the theme is dots and tags. It is also going into PaperPlay Challenge where the theme is Pale & interesting. :)

Purple tartan it up...

Here she is again Miss Anya, I do love her. Anyway here is a card which is going into this weeks Daring Cardmakers Challenge where the theme is "tartan it up". Also over at One Stop the theme is Die Cuts.

I feel like my feet have not touched the ground, life is whizzing by, but hope to be back again later, I went to the big craft fair at Exeter on Sunday with the girls, so I have some yummy new stash, and 'he' or should I say hubby (still feels weird saying that) is away with work tonight - so I can be as messy as I like, and the dog can supervise!

Elzybells Casing.................

Over at Elzybells the challenge is to find a card by Elizabeth or any DT member that you particularly like / inspires you and recreate it putting your own spin on it!

Well, I popped over to Michelle's blog, and found this card and recreated it, just changed the colour and some very very minor bits. I love Michelle's blog, I think her work is totally inspiring, her clean and simple style is right up my street.

I have had the image coloured for ages - so it was lovely to put it to use.

Black, White + 1 other

Over at Pollycraft the challenge is Black, White & one other colour, does iridescent count as a colour???? Cos I've used it ha ha....... It does sparkle lots of pretty colours.

The papers are doodle bug, the image is pink petticoat, and of course good old glamour dust.

Papertake Weekly - Anya

This week over at Papertake Weekly they have a great sketch challenge, I'm sure I will be using this layout again as its nice and simple! I have used a gorgeous Anya image cut out with nesties, coloured with copics, mounted onto different shades of bazzil, one layered embossed with a cuttlebug die, and a craftwork card sentiment, and a good old little bit of sparkly bling.

Not sure why the days are racing away at the mo............ Time is flying by, but the good news is I cant wait for tomorrow - off to the big craft fair in Exeter with the girlie's :)
