Charm's Creations

Chat with Charm...

Have you guys joined Chat with Charm yet? It's a forum that I started back in March of this year for all of us that scrap and want to chat with like-minded scrappers! Not just about scrapping but about everyday life too. The difference between this forum though is that it's not based on website shop advertising but about a place to come to find the MILLIONS of Scrapbooking Blog Challenges around - yep they are all in one spot! A great place to come without having to search for them all!

Just thought I would mention on my blog as I have noticed we are ONE away from 200 forum members!!!

So have you joined up yet? We have regulars that pop in and have a chat & others that just come and check out the challenges - it's totally up to you how you use it! Of course, we would love to get to know you though :)

AND if you are a Blog Challenge Administrator or on the Creative Team of one - please feel free to update the current challenges, coz these days I CANT KEEP UP!!!

Anyway, hope to see you there!

Love Charmane

the challenges...

OK LADIES here is the list.... you can choose one from each list, BUT if you can manage it - why not give as many as you can a go??? Why not aim for 1 from each first, then if you do all of them, do another 1 from each and so on.... the more you do the more entries into each challenge you will get!

Chat with Charm & Cybercrop - on tonight!

Have you joined Chat with Charm forum yet? Do you know what it's all about???

Chat with Charm is a forum that has the biggest compiled list of Blog Challenges around the world {yep! not just Australia!} It's the easiest way to keep track of them all, and to pick and choose the ones that you would like to complete, and maybe even try for the first time!

I know when I first started it that I had NO IDEA there were so many challenges around - and I know there are a LOT more!

The only RULE we really have at Chat with Charm is NO DIRECT SHOP WEBSITE/BLOG LINKS.... it's only about BLOG Challenges! So there is no ADVERTISING, only links to websites and personal blogs!

Does this sound like the place for you?

JOIN NOW!!!

Tonight we are having our Opening Night Cybercrop, where YOU get the opportunity to choose the blog challenges that are set from the HUGE list that we have!

Sketchy Thursdays...

So for Challenge Two over at Chat with Charm, the top of the list was Sketch Thursdays, BUT, i kind of cheated, because even though this IS a Sketchy Thursdays challenge it is actually the May Guest Design Team Challenge I spied this sketch and I just HAD to do it....

I really loved the outcome! and HAHA I used my "specialty" lollipop button - the one that everyone envied on the weekend ;)

using one of my hand-made clay buttons!

a bit of prima... just for kerry m ;)

and I HAD to use this Kaisercraft Wooden Flourish Wing.... LOVE them!

Thanks for looking!

Love Charmane

ARTastic Challenge...

This was the first Challenge to choose from in Chat with Charms Challenge Four - the ARTastic Challenge, which I have never done before, so this one was a real challenge - make sure you take a look at the art we had to be inspired by....

there was also extra criteria added to it as well.... one of them was to include a cloud...

we also had to use autumn colours...

and a tree was the hard part.... soooo glad I found the Kaisercraft heart tree stamp in my stash!

and these are the Jillibean Soup alpha stickers that I have used...love the effect it gives when distressing it a bit...

Thanks for looking! I enjoyed scrapping this!!!

Love Charmane
