Charisma challenge #30....

Wow!! can't believe were at # 30 already. Here's my DT offering for this week using Joanne's fab sketch. I needed a card for a girl in work for her Daughter's 21st and the sketch fitted it perfectly. I used Forever Friends dottie paper and HOTP pink stripes paper. The image is one of my favourites from Elisabeth Bell and it's called Claudia the Artist. I just love colouring this image....The champagne flutes are cut with Sixxiz dies and the flowers are Poppiecraft. Ribbon and gems are from my stash.
This week we are being sponsored by PINK GEM DESIGNS Why not pop over to Charisma and find out what the prize is this week from Janet. It's really cute!!!!! Looking forward to seeing all your fab creations again and thanks to everyone who did my challenge last week with Tags I hope you all enjoyed it. As always all the entries were amazing. Hope you enjoy this weeks challenge, I'm off now to get my Grandsons for the day be back later hopefully with another card this time for TWINS......

Christening card...

Hello again, I only managed to make one of the cards I need for work. Between the Internet running slow and my new Kodak printer/scanner takes ages to scan and I'm not too chuffed with the colour quality either. I spent half the night waiting for things to happen....very frustrating. I also couldn't find the image I wanted for the inside.Never mind got there in the end. As you can see I used decoupage for this one. The DP is from Craft Creations, punch is Fiskars, Nesties Ovals flowers and ribbon from stash, and I used a little peel off with a cross and bible just to finish it off. Fingers crossed that she likes it. Must go to bed now I have work in the morning.

Onion Birthday....

Hi everyone!! Just one card today for my Nephew Allan. He likes footie and I used his fav team colours. The image is of course little Onion from the Daisy & Dandelion series of stamps. I find this set really useful as I have loads of Nephews and three sons and two Grandsons so he's been inked up quite a few times this year. Coloured with my Copics and I've added a CB Happy Birthday embossed panel, added a little tag and some peel offs to finish. Thanks for popping in. Off to make cards now for girls in work.

I've just done the WOJ Birthday Blog hop and had a great time until I got to the end and I couldn't get into the PaperCraft Planet 'cause I had to sign up. So I've got to wait for the admin to accept me as a member......by that time all the fun will be done. I'm gutted!!!! and really disappointed. I was really looking forward to doing the whole thing... Just one of those things I suppose!!! Still I really enjoyed every ones blogs and seeing all the fab creations.

UPDATE got in eventually...wooohoo..what a great blog hop!!!

TAGS @ CHARISMA CARDZ....meets Elisabeth Bell

Hi everyone !! Yes it's Thursday again, where does the time go...? It's my turn this week to set the challenge at Charisma Cardz and I thought it would be nice to see TAGS on your cards/projects.

As usual you can make anything you like just as long as there is a tag on there somewhere.

You might even like to make your project THE TAG as I did. It's up to you. ....I made a TAG book. Quite simple to do and really enjoyable.

I cut 7 pieces of A5 card into tag shapes, and I used the poem "Monday's child" for the basis of the design. As anyone who reads my blog will know, I adore Elisabeth Bell images and I think they are just perfect illustrations for this poem. The papers are from K & Co Sparkly Sweet. I've added charms from the Hobby House and flowers and ribbon from my stash. Sorry there are so many pics but it's just to let you see each day of the week. This is such an easy project to do, just like making 7 cards and linking them up. Why not try it ....?

Pop over to Charisma and see the rest of the fab cards and projects from our really talented team. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with this week. Okay!! I think I've waffled on enough, hope you enjoy my challenge and thanks for staying awake during this post....lol..
