"Make Today Awesome" Created By Charm

Hey guys! Just a quick share from me today - YES, I have managed to scrap, and have to say love how my page turned out for the Scrap the Girls Challenge this month-

- it helps to have a gorgeous Mood Board to work with!

To create my background I used gesso & modelling paste to create the brickwork, and then once dry I have used gelato, which I have rubbed in with my fingers.

I have used a Charms Creations Pink & Silver Glitter Mini Heavenly Hearts & also a Pink & Cream Terrific Tab.

Make sure you try to fit in a Scrap the Girls layout in! It's a stunner! 

Have a great Friday! Happy Long Weekend!

Creative Team Sample - this month is a sketch...

I have used two Charms Creations Embellishments one of the BRAND NEW Pink Terrific Tabs...

As you can see by the title and journalling, it's all about Ryarne having her surgery - which is going to be happening this Thursday. I am hoping that it will be a quick recovery for her and we can be out of the hospital as soon as possible.

"Love This Girl" Created By Sandra Brimelow

Hi everyone, it's nearly the end of the week, so I hope you are going to be able to get some scrapping done this weekend, I plan to - that's the plan anyway...

Tonight I would like to share with you the layout I did for this months Scrap the Girls challenge, for which I used the DIY embellishments, and again used rub-ons to create a unique embellishment.

This time it is in gold rub-on and it fit in really well with the rest of the layout. 

The DIY challenge is still open for the rest of the month, so why not give it a go. I am sure by now, you all have some in your stash - so get creative, don't be afraid.

Happy scrapping!

"Apple Obsession" Created by Katie Howard

Today Katie is sharing with us a really awesome technique to alter your *DIY*s - ANOTHER great idea!!!

OK, so I am back to share something cool to do with your DIY's and even cooler is the new diamond shape! So the page I created was for the current Scrap the Girls challenge which is a gorgeous mood board, the colours are absolutely divine! 

So on to the DIY technique. I decided that the diamonds were perfect for creating a dip dyed effect. I used an embossing technique to do this with gold tinsel embossing powder. I think it came up a treat! Check out my blog post for details.

You can order your White Calico Diamonds Here!

Happy Creating & Happy Tuesday!

*DIY* Wednesdays - featuring Amanda Hartmann!

Hi everyone! Welcome to **DIY WEDNESDAY**.... My post today is to share my favourite way to colour DIYs... and that is using my Mists & Sprays!

{Check out Amanda's You Tube Tutorial below - it's fabulous!}

 and here are a couple of posts on Amanda's blog too:

Altered Charms Creations - how she altered the Mini Heavenly Heart on this stunning page...

 closeup... Can you see she has used the *back* side of the Mini Heavenly Heart?

Kraft+ May Challenge - Using a *DIY* White Calico Arrow

 Close up here...

Hope you have time to check it out! 

Amanda has also used a *DIY* Mini Heavenly Heart on her current Scrap the Girls Creative Team Sample layout - see her blog post HERE

Using the same technique in the You Tube Tutorial - here is a closeup - just love the perfect match of colour that can be reached by colouring it yourself!

In the meantime, here are my three main tips:

1. Spray your colour, plus maybe some water into a tray to colour your DIY in, rather than spray the DIY direct (although that may create a different effect again!!!) 

2. ADD water... wet your DIY before you colour it... will help you control the intensity of the colour. Also SPRAY more water afterward if you need to lessen the colour!

3. Let them dry! You can use a heat gun, but they may also need to dry overnight or for a day. The colour will change as it dries also!

Hope this helps - can't wait to see all the creative and amazing ways you might use your Charms Creations DIYs!

Make sure you check out the Charms Creations Big Cartel Shop and make sure you take advantage of this great deal:

 

Here are some of the great *DIY* embellishments available...

There's also a lot more available in the shop too, so make sure you check them all out!

Here is the LINK TO THE *DIY* CHALLENGE too!

We hope we have inspired you to have a go!

Happy Wednesday!

"This Love" created by Sandra

Today is Sandra's turn to share, and she has this beautiful layout she created for the Scrap the Girls last month, using a Charms Creations White Doiley Butterfly Heavenly Heart

"Good morning everyone, happy Sunday. Do you plan on creating today, or spending time with your family? Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy it. I hope to do a bit of both. 
My turn to share today, and I thought I would share the layout I did for Scrap the Girls for July. I used one of the doily heavenly hearts on this layout, and I am sure most of you will have one of these in your stash, so perhaps if you are feeling inspired why not use it up on a layout. Charm has so many pretty heavenly hearts and there are new ones up in the shop now, if you didn't get a chance to shop at the sale last Monday.
