Die Cuts at Charisma Cardz

Good morning all,

I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend. I have had a rather busy week. In the last 12 days we (Myself, Hubby and Little Man) have been to 9 hospital/dentist appointments! I have had an enlarged lymph node removed from my neck and my 4 year old 'Little' Man has had root treatment to save a bad back tooth which set me back £350 pounds...ouch! To top it off, my Mum is in hospital too..... not so happy days!

Anyway, enough about me, i am here to share with you a card i made for the Charisma Cardz challange this week.

The theme this week is: DIE CUTS. Easy right?

I made this card using this fabulous 'freebie' sentiment from the amazing Desert Diva - Hannelie.  Thank you Hannelie, i love this sentiment :D  Actually, when i made it, I had my Mum in mind because she is definitely one amazing girl and has been through so much in the past three years.  Love You Mum!

I hope you can join us in this challenge and if you pop over to Charisma Cardz, you can view the beautiful DT inspiration.  Hope to see you there!

Thank you for taking the time to visit today.  Have a great day.

Big hugs, Jill x

DT card for Paper Lane

Good morning all,

The sun is shining here in Scotland but for how long, i don't know!   I am just about to rush out the door to go and see The Gruffalo so this is just a quick post today to show you a DT card i made for Paper Lane.

I used Echo Park Paradise Beach paper collection.  I went for a nice bright bold theme with lots of colour and layers. I made the flower using a Hero Arts stamp set and lots of layers from this beautiful paper collection. The leaves are a Sizzix die cut coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks. The corner die cut is by Cheery Lynn.

What do you think?
