It's All Charming @ Diva's

Hello again, I'm keeping up with my posts by the skin of my teeth at the minute! Only a couple of weeks ago I was well ahead of myself then Easter happened (or didn't if you go by the weather!) and now I'm so far behind! I'm hoping to catch up and even get ahead again as I'm off on my hols for a few days at the end of the month. I'll tell you more closer to the time.

Today is a brand new challenge over at

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

and my oh my how fabulous was that blog hop last week! I'm sorry if I didn't get around to visiting you, things should settle back down the holiday is over and hopefully I'll have more time.
Don't forget to check out the main challenge blog page to see if you won one of the many A-M-A-Z-I-N-G prizes that were up for grabs.

This week Rebekah has given us a CHARMING theme (get it?)

And I'm sooooo excited as I got to play with this......
I'm in love with Saturated Canary images and this week the fabulous
Krista Smith aka Mrs Saturated Canary is sponsoring us!


I've used the image California Girl and Fancy Pants Beach Babe papers, coloured with my Copics and Prisma pencils. The ribbon was a gift from Kerry at LCI  and assorted die cuts
 were involved with the making of this lol! My charm is a little flip flop from my stash
. I'm actually getting better at using things now, not so long ago I couldn't bring myself to part with anything!

I hope you'll have time to join us this week and I hope to get to visit a lot more of you.
Thanks for stopping by today, I'll be back tomorrow with my MAWTT card (if I get it made!)

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
