Morning all! Sally here, I hope you all had a great week. Thank you to everyone who played along last week, we enjoyed looking at all of your cards for a teen. Before I announce this weeks theme all the gals at Charisma would like to welcome our newest member Christel. I'm sure you will love looking at Christel's work and visiting her blog - it's fab.

On to today's brand new challenge!! We'd like to see....................


BLING & SPARKLES




What can you lucky crafters win??? Prize One -

Our first RETURNING sponsor is


Make it Crafty - Think it. Make it. Love it!

Make it Crafty is a dream come true for Zoe who has loved making projects from paper from a young child. Whether it be drawing, making cards, colouring, or her absolute favourite 3D mechanical projects; Zoe is always trying to think about new ideas to play with!

For a number of years Zoe has wanted to share her ideas and love for craft products with you and so Make it Crafty was finally born where she sells some of her favourite products as well as special scene digital stamps designed for the characters you already own!

Zoe only sells products she uses personally so she is always ready to help you where she can. You may also like to stop by the Make it Crafty Blog to see the latest projects, news and tips!

Zoe's scene images will make it VERY easy for you to mix with your existing stamps for some absolutely STUNNING scenes! Our first winner will get THREE digital stamps from the Make it Crafty shop - woo hoo!

PRIZE TWO -


Pizzazz Aplenty! Here's what Judy has to say about her little shop:

I moved to Kokomo, Indiana when I sold my Gift Basket and Chocolates store in California, in 2005. I thought I was retiring, but just can't sit by and do nothing. When I was teaching cardmaking, I had trouble finding affordable and unusual embellishments to go on my cards. I soon figured if I was having trouble finding these things, a lot of other people were as well. That's when this embellishment business began... and it has grown so fast in just a few months. I am blessed to have my mom living with me; she helps me so much with this business! My goal is to find quality embellishments that are reasonably priced. I am constantly looking for the unusual embellishment... something that you won't find in your local craft stores. At PIZZAZZ APLENTY you'll find simple packaging, quality merchandise and affordable prices.

Remember... there's no such thing as too much bling!

Pizzazz Aplenty will be sending one lucky winner
a suprise full of stash worth $15!!!
