Re-visiting a Color Room Palette...

I had a bunch of Color Room Palette's with me last night, and I decided to use an old Color Palette {not that old, but one I missed...}

I used more of the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook kit & a few bits from my stash...

I had a lot of fun just *playing* last night... no stress of the kids asking me to do something every five minutes... or me thinking I should be doing something else other than scrapping ;)

How pretty are the colours?

and I EVEN PUT HIDDEN PHOTOS on this layout... it's been a very long time since I've done that!

She was so brave, I think I freaked out more than she did, specially when one of the guns got caught with one of the earrings and they couldn't get it loose!

I have a couple more layouts, but haven't had a chance to finish them off just yet, hopefully over the next day or two!

Stay tuned for some more inspiration from the Show Us your Stuff Creative Team over the next few days... maybe I'll put some sneaks up on some new products too !

Don't forget to spread the word about the sale for your chance to win $20 or $50 Vouchers!!!

The Color Room #111 {Family Room}

Loved the Palette AGAIN this month at The Color Room - I chose the yellow as my background {although it looks a bit more orange than yellow :S but I took my inspiration from the actual layout that went with the Color Combo and sketch...

I have used the fabulous Amy Tangerine Sketchbook Kit {and a few other bits}- so funky!

I also came up with a new Heavenly Heart Color Combo - definitely something different!

Loving the Amy Tangerine 3D Embellishments and fabric stickers too!

Had so much fun with this :) Another layout from the scrappy night last night at the local baptist church :)

Stuck?! - May 15th Sketch...

It's been a while since I've done a Stuck?! Sketch - and when I was *preparing* for my scrap night last night I printed out the newest sketches - and the May 15th Sketch was perfect for this layout I come up with - I had to improvise too - I like to use NEW photos, but I happened to have only brought some OLD ones instead.... this photo is of Harmony and I when we lived in Aspendale - right at the beach!

Using Texture Paste {or should I say SPAK??} and my Cherry Blossom Template :)

I've been dying to use my Mister Huey's White Colour Mist  and the Cursive Alphabet - and this was the perfect opportunity!

oh and I have got to mention that I have used my FABULOUS FLOWERS & also paper and embellies from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook Kit!!! More to come of that ;)

Love Charmane

Show us Your Stuff - Creative Team Showcasing Charms Creations...

Over the next few days {maybe weeks haha} I will be uploading layouts created by the fabulous team over at Show Us your Stuff Challenge Blog...

Each month there are two "Inspirational Prompts" for you to create a layout from, one on the 1st of each month, the 2nd on the 15th of the month. You have a month from the date they are put up to complete a layout with your interpretation on them. The other criteria is that you MUST use something handmade on your layout - this can be made by you or bought from somewhere that "handmakes" their stuff - for example ME at Charms Creations!!!

I sent off some goodies to the Creative Team to use on their layouts to showcase some of my Charms Creations, so I will be uploading and linking not just to the Show Us your Stuff blog but to their blogs too :)

WE HOPE THAT YOU ALL JOIN IN - and of course - would love to see Charms Creations on them too ;)

MAY 1ST INSPIRATION IS THIS FANTASTIC PICTURE...

First of all - We have Leonie Neal-Dawson from Group 1 {May 1st Challenge}

There are more details on her blog HERE

As you can see she has used some Charms Creations Lovely Lollipops!

Make sure you upload YOUR layouts to the Show Us your Stuff Gallery on the blog for your chance to win!

More coming soon!!! Stay Tuned!

The Color Room - Special Edition May Scrap That...

using the versatile and gorgeous WE R Memory Keepers Anthologie Kit

I can't believe how many gorgeous pages there are to choose from in this kit... double sided papers too - and very hard to decide which side to use!

The embossed element stickers are just gorgeous too!

as you can see I've also used not only my Green White Lovely Lollipop..

but also D-Lish Scraps Flowers too :)

it's a bit hard to see - but I have used texture paste on the layout and the Blossom Mask

Loved how this page turned out... wish I had energy to scrap some more! Have to get onto other *things* now though!!!

Love Charmane

Using We R Memory Keepers Anthology Kit...

Had a chance to play with the AWESOME kit that Peta from SFS sent me - there are SOOOO many papers to choose from - and being double sided meant it was so hard to choose which side to use!

I will be showing you a few more layouts using the kit soon.... so make sure you GRAB A KIT... I don't think there would be too many left!!! You will NOT be disappointed I can assure you! Specially for ONLY $30!!!

I've invented a new Heavenly Heart - Apricot Creamy Cream - I'm sure to have some of these at the next sale to sell :)

there's some gorgeous die-cut pieces to use from the kit... including this one...

and I just LOVE that these alphas are in the kit too - Peta knew how much I loved the other set from another kit... LOVE that the dotted edges are done for you ;)

Had a full on day yesterday - helping Ashan out at the Bridal Expo - taking bookings & chatting with LOTS of women that are getting married... you should have seen the set up - it was just stunning....

Here's a couple of photos I took...

This was early in the morning doing sound checks....

Then when the Fashion Parades were happening - you can see the photographer and the Model in a Wedding dress in the background on the stage... We had a FANTASTIC day with LOTS of bookings!

More news coming soon!

Don't forget the April/May Charms Creations Challenge...

IS ALL ABOUT STARS!!!

As some of you know,  was my darlings daughter Harmony's 6th Birthday last month, and some of you MAY remember that her middle name is Zitara {most of you probably wouldn't know that!} and Zitara means STAR...

AND because I have only released "super stars" recently.... why not use them for this challenge!!!

I know not ALL of you have my "Super Stars" so if you don't, I am happy for you to USE the word STAR in your title OR any other kind of STARS on your layout...

BUT you must use something created by "Charms Creations" as well of course!!!

She is a Super Star isn't she???

Make sure you upload your layouts/creations in the sidebar by the 31st May 2012!

THE PRIZE: 6 SUPER STARS {of your choice} worth $21

and yes, I am also looking for Guest Designers - so if you want to be one please email your interest at charmscreations@live.com

Once.... Upon a Sketch! - May 1st Challenge...

It's been a VERY long time since I have scrapped a layout with a photo of ME on it, but thought why not... I loved the Once... Upon A Sketch for this month, and that was one of the criterias...

The flags are yet again from the Heidi Swapp No Limits kit - I've just flipped them over to the plain size to match my layout...

I've also used one of my Book Paper Fabulous FLowers and Brown & Cream Lovely Lollipop...

and the journalling.... awwwww!!! so true though!

Thanks for looking!

Love Charmane

 

SFS May Quote Challenge...

I'm sure everyone has at lease ONE photo to use with THIS QUOTE Challenge - so you ALL have no excuse to scrap it!!! I know I had a LOT of photos to choose from that is for sure!

Yes I have been using THAT MASK again.... I had a heart attack after I got back from retreat... because I couldn't find it anywhere for a while.... but it was stuck between a couple of pieces of paper.... thank goodness!

and I had stolen one of my MINI Runner's that I had for sale ;)

and a LOVELY Lollipop as well ;)

and I've used some of the Note To Self Kit too! {only $18!}

More to come... once I get the kids SLEEPING that is!

Love Charmane
