Charisma Cardz -One Layer Cards

Good morning, there's a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz and the theme is 'One Layer Cards'.

This proved to be a very difficult challenge for most of us.  In the end I used an embossed card which I've had for quite some time, stamped the Joanna Sheen snowman image onto the middle of the card and just got merry with the glitter glue!!!  The card is embossed with stars and swirls top and bottom which doesn't show particularly well in the picture.

see 1 layer !!

Charisma Cardz - Hearts and Flowers

Good morning, it's time for a new Charisma Cardz challenge and I apologize if you don't like the theme as it was down to me!!

So this weeks theme is 'Hearts and Flowers', I chose this as Valentines day is just around the corner and then the following week will be my/our wedding anniversary (11 years!) so it was very fitting, although my card funnily enough is for neither lol!! 

We were asked to use images supplied by our sponsor Stamp Fairy, so here I have used one from the Clementine Love collection, so sweet don't you think?

I printed the image onto brown fleck paper, then printed it several more times on various different colours, then did a bit of paper piecing!

Good morning and Happy 4th Birthday to Charisma Cardz, I'm proud to say that I have been a part of the challenge blog since the very start.  Although there is no way that it seems anywhere like 4 years ago, I know we always say it like when there's a birthday or anniversary but it really does seem like time flies!!!!

So onto this weeks challenge and the theme, of course, is Happy Birthday!

Charisma Cardz - Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Good morning, not long until the big day now, are you ready for Santa??  We've delivered our pressies, just have a few more to wrap for each other and the girls, and got the grocery shopping to do and we're done done done!!  We have my youngest daughters 8th birthday on the 23rd and my dads birthday on the 24th so it's a busy old time for us!

Anyhow onto the reason for this post, we've got a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz and the theme is 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' (obviously include a Santa!).  I've made a decorative wrapper to jazz up a bar of chocolate, cute huh, and oh so simple?!

My eldest wanted a little gift for a few friends at school, so following the above chocolate bar wrapper idea, we got some bigger bars, and gave the a snowman look.  I cut and showed her how to make the hats and she did the rest herself.  Cute don't you think?

If I don't get on here again beforehand, I would like to wish you a very 

Merry Christmas
