Charisma Cardz -Clean and Simple

Good morning, time for a new challenge at Charisma Cardz and this week we would like to see the theme 'clean and simple'. 

For this challenge the DT were given a choice of Stamp Fairy (our sponsor) images to use.  I kinda think the sentiment goes with the image lol!!

Charisma Cardz -Happy Birthday to us!!!!

Wowie can you believe it?  We at Charisma Cardz are celebrating our 3rd birthday already!!  I know I always say it but boy how time flies, it only seems like it's about a year ago Carly asked me to be a part of the team, Wow!!

So rather fittingly our theme for this week is 'Happy Birthday'.

For my card I have rounded off the corners of a square card, papers are from a freebie stack from one of my mags, ooooo they are yummy!!!  Flowers, gems and sentiment from my stash and the topper is a freebie decoupage image which comes with the Docrafts Creativity mag which is out at the moment.

just to prove it decoupaged! 

We have some super fabby sponsors with amazing prizes to be won.  So please nip on over to the blog and join in the celebrations with us.

Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone, hope it is truly wonderful!

you used to be able to see the living room lol!!! 

Charisma Cardz ~Anything Goes

OMG I am sooooo..... late with my post today, sorry!  My excuse = I've had visitors on and off all day long, and I've also had excruciating back pains which make me feel sick so haven't felt much like doing a lot!

Anyhow the new Charisma Cardz challenge is SUPER easy and the theme is 'Anything Goes' and is going to last 2 weeks!

I've done hardly any crafting lately, what with feeling ill on and off, doctors and hospital visits, work, the puppy and christmas I just can't believe how quickly days are flying by.  So the cards I have are ones that I made a few weeks ago, and was going through a 'round' card stage, I thoroughly enjoyed making these!

We as always have FAB sponsors with 3 lucky winners and also a lucky Facebook winner!

It's my babies 7th birthday tomorrow, bless her, so close to christmas!!  We're off to the coast for a trip to the christmas circus, can't wait!!

There's a meerkat on it's way to our house!!!

Just purchased dog insurance from Compare the Market (not meerkat!!), woohoo meerkat on it's way to our house lol!!!  This little vid is such fun!!!

Good morning one and all, it's been a while since my last post but to be honest I've not made anything for a while.  As well as being unwell (again!) our time is somewhat preoccupied with the puppy and trying to get organised for christmas!

Well it's team Gem's turn to set the theme for this weeks Charisma Cardz challenge and we would like to see 'NO CARDS!'. 

I saw a fabby decoration whilst blog hopping a while ago and thought I've got to have a go at that!!  Well you know I got so frustrated with it, I had it pulled apart about 4 times before actually getting it round lol!!  I must admit to not fully following the tutorial just trying to d it from memory, in the end I HAD TO follow the tutorial!!

if you would like to have a go at making one of these for yourself, you can find Sarah's tutorial and much better pictures HERE.

Here's anothe piccie, it doesn't look round in the piccie but I promise it is (now!), and for some reason the ribbon looks blue below, but it is green!! 

Not so sure I'll be making any more, but who knows with practice they must get easier/quicker to make!!

We have fab sponsors with great prizes and lovely examples from the rest of the girls on the blog so please go take a look.

We have a mad day at work today, it's christmas lunch day, so we have over 300 to feed!!  Then I have to dash to see my youngest in her nativity play, she is Angel no.3!!

Charisma Cardz - Snowflakes

Good morning, boy it's been a while!  I seem to have neglected my blog just lately, I've made a few bits and pieces but Jacobie (our puppy) is taking up my time, we do like our cuddles lol!).

It's time for a new challenge at Charisma Cardz and the theme this week is 'snowflakes', let's hope we're not seeing any of the real thing any time soon heh!?!  Although it looks pretty, I don't like walking around looking like a dork in case I slip over, oh the embarrassment!!!

For my card I have used a ready coloured topper which I printed from my Newtons Law ~making greetings cards cd, easy peasy no colouring for me!!!  paper is from the Daisy and Dandelion christmas collection pad, charm and ribbon are from my stash.

I so can't believe christmas is getting so close, it's scary and at the moment I just can't see us being ready!

We have fab sponsors offering super scrummy prizes (as always) so please pop on over to the blog and join in.
