Charisma Cardz - Make your own Embellishments

Woo...hoo... no school runs and no work as today is the first day of the summer holidays!!!!!!!!!!  No packs ups (well that's a lie, hubs still needs his bless him!), alarm clock only to be set on rare occassions, no uniforms to sort out, oh the list is endless lol!!!
Well onto the real reason for this post and that's to tell you about the new challenge we have over at Charisma Cardz and this week the theme is to 'Make your own Embellisments' these can be for any project!!
I used a card layout that I always resort to for a quick card (just love it!) I found the paper pad and matching chipboard embellies when looking through a pile of old mags, these are the freebies that came with the May issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft!  They are so lovely, can't believe I misplaced them!  My handmade embellishment is the rosette, made from various sized circles which I tore around the edges of, then screwed up to give it a bit more texture, the centre is one of the chipboard freebies!

Really hope you can join us for this challenge, for all sponsor and prize info please head on over to the blog HERE.
 
Enjoy the weather, however much longer it lasts!!!
(mind you I've scheduled this so it could be peeing down with rain with the addition of thunder and lightening for all I know lol, but enjoy it anyway!!)
