"Early Bird" by Creative Team Member Amanda Hartmann...

Amanda Hartmann shares with us today!

Today I am sharing my layout for Off the Rails Scrapbooking challenge. Features Colour Blast texture paste on the background, which I was also able to use to colour my Charms Creations DIY plus {AKA the X turned on it's side!}

More Details on her blog HERE!

Here's a closeup...

You can find all kinds of different *DIY* shapes from the shop...

Make sure you check them ALL out in the shop HERE!

Including clouds, Terrific Tabs & Flags!

Happy Tuesday & Happy Creating!

XO Charm & the Creative Team!

 

Off the Rails July Challenge...

There are TWO choices of Mood boards this month over at Off the Rails, I decided to go with this one...

Here is the layout I created for it...

I can't go past a pink & grey mood board, its definitely a colour combo I am totally in love with...

Here are some closeups...

I have used a Charms Creations Pink & Grey Mini Heavenly Heart and a Rainbow Splendour Vellum Bow 

Love these alphas {I got them from The Scrappery I think?}

Loving the triangle chipboard that were in a Studio Calico kit I received a while ago...

I have lots of layouts *on the go* at the moment, and I hope to show some of them finished in the next few days!

Thanks for popping by!

Charms Creations CT - Guest Designers over at Off the Rails!

This month Charms Creations is also sponsoring Off the Rails Scrapbooking Challenge - this is the Mood Board to create from...

and the Creative Team were asked to be Guest Designers, and I think they have done a FABULOUS job!

Here's Belinda's...

She has used the colours fabulously together, combining the brickwork for the background and added a touch of wood as well...

 

Belinda has used one of the Red & Yellow Butterfly Heavenly Hearts on her layout...

Sandra's sample and inspiration:

"I was inspired by the texture of the bricks and wood in the building image. I also loved the quote and used a family photo, with the word family in my title, and added some wood veneer people that were also in the mood board."

Amanda's sample and inspiration from the board:

"I loved the quote on this OTR mood board and so part of it became my title. I was also drawn to the mustard yellow in the colour palette, partly because of the delicious Charms Creations butterfly heart that was a perfect colour match! I combined this with the red and turquoise - and loved this final colour combo!"

 

 

Amanda has used one of the Black & Yellow Butterfly Heavenly Hearts...

 

 

Katie's sample and inspiration:

 

"I have been inspired by the cut out people, the chalk heart drawn on the footpath, the family theme and the colours"

 

 

Katie has also used a *DIY* White Calico Heavenly Heart...

"I used distress ink swiped on my craft mat and spritzer with water before wiping the heart through. Then used the ink pad directly on the edges for some deeper color."

 

 

They are currently in the shop HERE!

 As a special deal, I am also offering FREE POSTAGE to Off the Rails Members:

 

 

I myself plan to give this challenge a go TODAY! It's about time I had some scrap time! Don't you?

 

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!

Off The Rails May Challenge...

As usual, I am madly scrapping to complete a challenge or two before the end of the month... another month flown by me!

I decided to squeeze in the Off the Rails May Challenge, which I REALLY wanted to create using one of the Butterfly Heavenly Hearts I thought would match perfectly!

and here is my interpretation of the challenge...

and here are the closeups...

the red in the heart looks a little brighter than it is in real life..

 

I decided to use the words as my title that were in the Mood Board...

 

 

I loved creating for this challenge, love the different colour combo and glad that I could manage to complete it JUST in time!

I have a couple of the Red & Brown Butterfly Heavenly Hearts available in the shop HERE if you would like to snap one up!

Thanks for popping by to take a look!

Off the Rails April Challenge...

This month there are TWO options to choose from at Off The Rails, and I have chosen this one... 

I decided to use a photo from Harmony's Birthday...

I have used a background that I created a little while ago, after the Scrap and Chat Retreat that I went on {inspired by Lisa Oxley's class I did!}

I have used my Charms Creations BRIGHT star & arrow embellishments for this one... perfect for the challenge! I was going to just go for the *green* mood board, but just had to add a little hot pink so went for the other one!

What a fab challenge!

Thanks for looking!

Can't keep up!

Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of blogging! I am finding it hard to find the time to create a decent blog post - and cannot keep up with all the amazing work my Creative Team have been coming up with!

They have all been sharing their work each day over on the Charms Creations Ideas & Inspiration Facebook Group so please make sure you join up if you haven't already so that you can keep up to date!

Here are some of the layouts that have shared recently:

Here's a layout that Belinda created using a DIY Calico Heavenly Heart that she has coloured herself...

and Amanda has also coloured a Mini Calico Heavenly Heart using mists as well, but has reversed it for a different look...

Sandra has created this layout for April 123 Challenge using the NEW Blue Spotty Super Star...

and Katie has created this layout for the Off The Rail Scrapbooking Challenge...

Aren't they just fantabulous?

Love my team! I hope you are inspired to play with YOUR Charms Creations embellishments too!

Hey everyone! I am happy to show you a layout I have created for Off the Rails March Challenge, and I don't know if I have done an OTR challenge before?

I LOVED playing around with this though... lots of mists & stamping... now I'm looking its looking a bit yellow instead of the orangey/brown colour...

Here's some closeups...

Just love how its turned out...

with my retreat besties! Love these guys!

I've used Charms Creations Book Page arrow & making a comeback - Script Fabulous Flowers!!!

I hope you love it as much as I do!
