My first charm swap over on the beach :)

For the first time in April I joined the charm swap hosted by the lovely JoAnn every month over on the scrapbeach-the theme was daisys and diamonds!

This was my first time making charms and it was great fun,

 Here are the charms I made for my group-it was my first time making anything like this but it was great to try it out!
 I used a daisy button, glass "diamond" beads, yellow and white beads, mini buttons, leaf beads and tassels.....
 You also need to decorate the tag so I just added some daisy print paper to mine....
 Close up....
And then these are what I received from my group!
 This was made by the lovely Eve-www.klieka.blogspot.com, love her tag too and the charm itself is so pretty, thanks Eve....
 This was made by Nichole-such a cute tag and I think our daisys might be the same....
 This is by Charlene lifeissogood495.blogspot.com-her tag is FAB and I love her large "diamond"....
 Also, because it had been my birthday I got some extra birthday charms-this is from Eve again-I love it Eve thanks so much! I wanted to make birthday charms too but I totally ran out of supplies! As I said this was my first time making anything like this and I didn't really know what I needed etc. so I ran out of jump rings etc... Love the flower on Eves tag here :)x...
 This charm is from our hostess JoAnn, she makes one for everyone who participates in the swap! truly a super hostess!!!!....
This charm is by Sue Howe suzieq888.blogspot.com and theres so many gorgeous beads on here-its packed full of cute stuff!
 And again a birthday charm, this one is from JoAnn again, thanks so much JoAnn, I hope to join for another swap once I replenish my supplies :) xx
