Be charmed

Good Morning,

A bit late this morning, on A/L so did not schedule post and forgot, to be honest I've been having a little play this morning making a home deco item. I'll share later in the week when back from London.

The challenge this fortnight over at 

Dream Valley

 is:

Add a Charm

I bought a pack of charms some time ago now and never used them. However I knew exactly which one I was going to use and what image would be ideal when the challenge was announced 

Image -  LOTV rubber stamp (can't find it in store to link to, sorry)

Coloured with - Markers and paper pieced

Papers - bought in a pack of 12x12's ages ago from QVC

Charm - The works

Ribbon - market

Star - cut on cameo

Hop on over here to see what fab inspiration the team have come up with

Paper Flowers

Good Evening,

Thought I would share a selection of cards I made recently using Sketchy Flowers from DigiStamp Boutique which I paper pieced. The sentiments were from the Black Floral Set also from DSB

The paper used on this card is Boho Chic from First Edition

The paper used on these cards are Back to Basics IV 

I must say I got really carried away making these cards which are snapped up really quick.

Some I paper pricked round the image others I edged with sketchy lines.

I did make some using the poppy image but they disappeared before I got a photo, might make another to share some day soon. I'm on A/l next week so may get a chance then.

Can't wait as going to London to see Mama Mia with my Sister and staying over for a couple of nights. Must practice my singing & moves !!!!! 

I am going to enter:

Well anyone reading my post yesterday will know that I wrote and posted it using my phone. It was the first time I have done it and probably the last. It was not easy but I'm really pleased I managed it, and without too many mistakes. 

Here's another card I made using both papers and pre coloured image from LOTV.

Nothing more to say other than simples and so sweet.
