Charisma Cardz - Birthdays

Happy New Year!!

Can you believe it, we are celebrating our 5th Birthday!!  Yes that's right Charisma Cardz are celebrating 5 years of blog challenges, and I'm proud to have been a part of the team right from the very start!  I honestly cannot understand where the time has gone!

So what better theme to have than ''Birthdays''!!

We have also now changed the blog from weekly to 'fortnightly' so will now be posting new challenges every other week!

We have some FABulous prizes from our always generous sponsors, take a look Here.

Happy happy New Year to one and all xxxx

 

We had a quiet night in, haven't been out for new years eve celebrations since I've been with hubs!  That's 13years and counting, and the year we got together we kind of spent it on opposite sides of the bar!!!!!  yes I was the barmaid in his local, indeed that's how we met!! 

Anyhow we let the girls stay up until the chimes of Big Ben, so a bit of a sing-a-long with Gary Barlow, some nibbles and some photos and it was soon time to watch the fireworks on tv and do a bit of the old auld lang syne and off they went to bed!

Lets hope 2014 is healthy and happy for us all xxxx

It's Christmas!

It's christmas morning here so I would just like to wish everyone a

Very Merry Christmas!!

Hope everyone has a lovely time, with treats galore,

loads to eat and time with loved ones.

Charisma Cardz - Anything Goes

The fab and oh so easy to take part in challenge over at Charisma Cardz is 'Anything Goes'.

So there you go, you can make 'anything'!!

Myself and my youngest daughter have a love for cutie owls, so when I saw these whilst perusing the web I just could resist making a few!

These cutie owls started out like as the inner tubes of toilet rolls, dp's and gems!!

Charisma Cardz - Distressed

Good morning, well we're back after our 2 week Charisma Cardz challenge and wow we had loads of great entries!  Our challenge for this week is 'Distressed'.

I have been a bit 'crafty' and used the tag that I made a few weeks ago for a challenge, this is the main feature to this weeks card!!  All of the papers were from a freebie pad which came with one of my mags!

For all sponsor and prize details, please take a look at the main challenge blog.

Charisma Cardz - Christmas

Good morning one and all! 

It's time for a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz and although it's not my teams week I thought I would take part anyway, because the theme is 'Christmas'.  Oh my goodness can you believe it's almost here??!!  It's scarey how fast it's coming around!

Anyhow getting onto my christmas make!  My lovely friend very kindly got me some marshmallows from the base on her last visit, oh my goodness, american marshmallows are yummy!!  On my travels around the world of google images I came accross the sweetest marshmallow snow people, and tah dah I had to have a go!  Now I only very quickly put these together tonight (because my edible pens arrived in the post earlier!!!) had nothing really appropriate for their hats, so they are actually wearing eyeballs which we had left over from our halloween treat bowl lol!!!  If I had of been more prepared I would've gotten some shoelaces or something similar and given them a little scarf to keep their necks warm!  So you know what I'll be purchasing when we go shopping on Friday ;)

Cute don't you think??!

 

Sadly these 2 snow people are no longer alive :'(    As soon as the girls saw them they disappeared!!!

 

Charisma Cardz - Vintage

The challenge this week at Charisma Cardz is Vintage.

I struggle big time with the vintage theme and leaving things late as usual I had very little time to make and upload my make. Lucky for me there was an article re this style in one of my mags which sits on the edge of my desk, heh presto, topper/tag made using freebie papers and scrap ribbon!
