We want you to show Charisma some LOVE.....

Hi there, this week at Charisma it's my turn to set the challenge and I have chosen

LOVE...

so lets see all your Love related creations. You have plenty of scope with this one from Marriage Anniversary, Engagement, Valentines and loads more.

As always we have fabulous prizes up for grabs and don't forget our Top Three and of course the special Facebook prize too.... 

My DT inspiration for you this week is a Wedding card. I made it for my Nephew and his Wife who were married last Saturday. I used Me To You glittered papers, LOTV image, Marianne Creatables dies and the flowers and metal corners are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The pleated ribbon was bought in Devon when I was visiting my Sister -in - Law, wish I had bought a lot more of it now I love it to bits. I also made a box which matched the card but I was so busy with the card I forgot to photograph the box....lol

Our Charisma Gals have once again excelled themselves and have some really beautiful creations to share with you. Looking forward to visiting your blogs this week, I have a feeling I'm going to have a really tough time picking my Top Three...

Hope you enjoy my challenge!!

Charisma...A Card and a Gift bag /Box

Hello everyone, so sorry for being late with this weeks post I've had to catch up with orders and I'm trying to get myself and Hubby organized for my Nephew's Wedding tomorrow. Not an easy task I can tell you, Me not him... I've been struggling to get an outfit for weeks and now I've narrowed it down to just two.....or maybe three, depending on how I feel in the morning...lol talk about last minute.....c

Such a busy week I've hardly had time to do any cards just for fun...but tonight I have a Wedding card to make and I just remembered I hadn't put up this week Charisma post. So no more waffling on....this week the challenge is to make

A CARD PLUS A GIFT BAG OR BOX

As always we have some fab prizes up for grabs. It's Gemma's team this week and the girls have made some absolutely stunning creations for your inspiration, so if you have time please pop over and feast your eyes....

I'm off now to get some serious organizing done before tomorrow, and pray for some good old Scottish sunshine. I will be back on Sunday with some pics to share of the Big day.

Have a lovely weekend whatever your doing.

Hi, 

 I treated myself to a couple of LOTV Christmas stamps this week and made this card yesterday. It's called Icing the Cake, I think she's adorable and a little bit different from the usual Christmas images I'll be using this one a lot I think.

The paper was in a stack free with a Mag a few weeks ago I think it's HOTP.

I've used Marianne Creatable dies for the Pionsettia and the Doily.

The Holly is a Martha Stewart punch I got in Glasgow last week and it was half price, couldn't believe my luck..lol 

The sentiment is Cuddly Buddly, pearls and large brad from Wild Orchid Crafts and the mount is Nestie Labels 2 . Ribbon and star charm from my stash.

*******************************************************

 Just thought I'd share this little card with you all. Hubby and I were at a Wedding reception last night and the card I had made got damaged beyond repair and I had no time to make another. So I decided to customize the John Lewis Gift Voucher we had as a present. I used LOTV cute squares and mounted it onto Silver Mirri card, added a Marianne Creatables heart and ribbon to finish it off. It looked okay and saved the day for me.

 Thanks for popping in, have a good week.

A few baby cards....

Hello!! this is Zoe and she's from the Digi Stamp Boutique the image has been paper pieced and coloured with Copics. The dotty paper is from Bearly Mine and the Gingham is Bev's. The cute little feet charm I think is from Wild Orchid Crafts, not too sure though as it was a while ago when I bought them. Everything else is from my stash. This description also applies to little Henry below.

For the card below I used a Forever Friends stamp and coloured it with Copics. The papers I used are from Cuddly Buddly and the little buttons I've had for years, they came from the SSEC Craft Show which is coming again to Glasgow in October so hopefully I'll be able to get some more. The corners are from Wild Orchid Crafts and that gorgeous pleated organza ribbon I bought while on holiday in Plymouth in July.
