P for Pelican

Good Morning,

I am here today to share my very first card for the Alphabet Challenge, I was so thrilled when they said yes to me joining the Design Team. The Theme for this fortnight is P is for Peacock, Pelican or any other bird. So get out your feathered friends & join in this fab challenge.

I was a tad scared when I thought about colouring up a Peacock as they have so many different colours so I decided that I would go for a Pelican & I found this cute little fella. He is from ByMissRach Digital Stamps on Esty & can be found Here

I have coloured him up using Copics, distressed the edges & added some Shabby Blue Fran-tages around the image. I haven't used Fran-tage for ages & had forgotten I had it but it is fab for the vintage look.

All of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts & as he's a Pelican & lives out by the sea I have added some shells that I collected from the beach on my last trip, aren't they just so sweet?

All of the papers are from Lili of the Valleys Beach Bliss paper pad & can be found Here. I just had to use this paper pad as it fitted in with the whole beach/sea thing perfectly.

Thank you so much for popping by & make sure you stop by the Alphabet Challenge to see what the rest of the fab DT have to offer.

Hope you have a fab day

Singing in the Rain

Good Morning,

After having a little break from crafting I seem to be getting back into things & thought I would share this card that I have made using London Tilda

I have coloured her up using Copics & Pro Markers, I have added a little glamour dust to the rain drops but you can't really see it in the pics which is a shame.

All the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts & after looking at my flower stash I really need to re-stock. The papers are from Lili of the Valleys Promises paper pad.

Thank you for stopping by & I hope you have a fab day

I have made to 2 below cards using a couple of pre-coloured images from the Tis the Season art pad from LOTV.

I have used papers from LOTV's Classic Christmas paper pad & added some little poinsettia's to the corner.

I have added some snow tex & glamour dust to give the images that extra Christmas feel.

Happy Anniversary

Good Afternoon,


I know I shouldn't complain but I am getting a bit fed up with this hot weather, it's fine in the day when you can get out in the garden but I just wish it would be a bit colder at night so I can get some well needed sleep.

Today's card I have made for one of my Mums friends who happens to be my best customer, she gave me a list of cards that she wanted & this was on her list.
I have made this anniversary card using almost all Lili of the Valley products. I have used papers from the Country Lady paper pad & I have distressed the edges with a Tim Holts tool.

The stamped image is called Love Balloon , I have coloured it up using my Distressed Markers & I have added some glamour dust to the roses & her underskirt. Last but not least I have used the Happy Anniversary sentiment from Happy Circular Sentiments collection.

I would like to enter this card into the Lili of the Valley - Take Two Challenge.

Hope everyone is having a great day

Show us what else you can do at Charisma

I have made this little box cart out of Lili of the Valley papers, I watched Dawny P from Lili of the Valley on Create & Craft make these a little while ago & thought they were just fab, thankfully I keep the Create & Craft show on my Sky planner as when I came to make this little cart I had forgotten a few things.

This little box carts are great for putting sweets in & giving as gifts or you could put whatever the person liked in them.

Playing dress up

Good Afternoon,

The sun is still shinning here which is fab but I do have problems finding things to wear to work as my summer wardrobe isn't very full. I think I'm a winter person at heart.

Well today's card is not my usual colour choose but I thought it was time to find my inner girly girl & go Pink for a change. I have used one of the pre coloured images from Lili of the Valleys James & Jenny Bear pad, these are perfect images to use if you just want to make a quick card.

I have added some purple coloured sparkly glue to the necklace just to add a bit of bling (love a bit of bling lol)
