CD sunday Challenge Plus # 21 Anything goes

Hi,
Time for another challenge at CD sunday plus,  again its anything goes,  as long as its something from either a CD, USB or a digital material,  this fortnight the challenge is hosted by Wynn.

For this challenge I used the Sunflower CD by Debbi Moore,  this is a beautiful CD I recommend it has some beautiful images on it.  I used several images off one sheet and placed them in a paper doily adding a ribbon down the side and matching bows at the top of two images,  plus two sentiments that were on the same sheet.  The backing paper came with the images I was going to use folded for a change,  well there is a fold on one side but when crafting things never quite work out how you think.  I wanted to make something different and I think I achieved it with this card.

Travelling Lace in Greece

Hi,

Another post with the Lacy the Travelling lace,  she came with us to Parga Greece and had a great time using her in the photos,  some of you will have seen some of the photos of Parga already but these are similar or the same but with lacy in.

This shows Parga castle on top of the hill,  there was no way I could walk up to the castle as it was steps all the way up and they were steep most of the way.

These are a few of Parga harbour and bay,
My husbands hand got in the picture a few times its not easy to hold a piece of lace and take a photo,  I kept getting her to near the lens as you can see in pone or two of them

We took a train ride up to the watermill and Museum    not the best idea first I had trouble getting onto the train as it was high up,  (i'm only short)  but I managed it in the end and then when we got to the watermill where they used to ground wheat for flour using the power of water.   There was a steep path up to the waterfall,  Lacy and I stayed in the shade while Vernon walked up to the waterfall for some photos.  He took the picture of the waterfall.

Well that was our Journey with her to Greece shes been out and about again with me in Somerset but I will have to send her on her way to the next member of Craftree  for next venture soon.

Hi
Time for another challenge at CD sunday plus,  again its anything goes,  as long as its something from either a CD, USB or a digital material,  this fortnight the challenge is hosted by Jane,

For this challenge I used the Roses CD by Robert Addams,  I did have trouble with this CD and windows 10,  I only got the rose image and a decoupage piece for the rose I could not get a backing paper,  rather than waste the image I have made this card into a CAS,  i matted the image onto embossed ivory card,  and decoupaged the rose, adding a bow and ribbon.

Parga ( Mainland Greece)

Hi                                                                                                           We have just come back from a lovely holiday in Parga which is in the main land north western part of Greece opposite Corfu.              Parga lies on the Ionian coast.  Its a very green and lovely town, plenty of shops and restaurants.We stay in the Villa Coralli Hotel picture above and at the side here,  It was a lovely hotel with only 20 rooms small clean and very friendly.

  

 Views from our Balcony of the bay of Parga

 This is a view of the castle at the top of the hill,  no way could I walk up there as its steep with steps all the way.
It was used to protect the town from Invasions and built in the 11th century by the residents of Parga.  I\t has a checker history and before reconstruction in 1572 by the Venetians,  the turks demolished it once again,  The Venetians built it for the third time and last time making it stronger fortress and it stayed impregnable until 1819.  It was sold to the Ottomans,  today its a ruin.

This is a glass bottom submarine that goes around the bay and rocky islands,  I say its red and Vernon says its orange,  I will leave you to guess its colour.

 Here are some pictures of the bay and the rocky islands surrounding

Every night we had these gorgeous sunsets,  this picture was taken from the restaurant where we had an evening meal most nights,











Parga by night taken from our balcony 

Just so you know,  here we are enjoying a quite drink

We did a train ride which I will do another post about in the meantime I hope you enjoy the pictures of our holiday

Travelling Lace

Hi,
On Craftree one lady produced  a piece of tatted lace which  is travelling the world,  and it’s my turn to have Lacy as she is called.  Eventually the owner of the lace is going to make up a book about her travels.
I live in Somerset so she been travelling around Somerset with me,  and at the moment she in Greece.

Firstly she went to Castle Cary.  Castle Cary is a small market town,  I took a picture with her of the roundhouse.  The roundhouse was an 18th Century prison,  this is a temporary prison or village lock up built in 1779 for £23.00 from money left to the poor of Castle Cary in 1805.  It is a circular stone structure and has a domed roof, 7ft in dia., and 10 feet high with two iron grills for ventilation, no windows and of course no electric as in those days there was no electric.

Her next journey took her to Wells.  Wells is an historic and Medieval city and the smallest city in England,  famous for the 13th Century Cathedral.
The picture is the Bishops Place Gate,  leading to the Bishops place unfortunately I could not walk any further due to server pain in my hip,  The Bishops place has been home of the Bishops and the Diocese of Bath and Wells for 800 years,  construction started in 1210 and is a grade one listed English Heritage buildings.

This is a picture of the Town hall in Well market Place,  fans of Poldark will recognise this building as it was used in the filming of the series of Poldark which unfortunately has now finished and the last episode was last Sunday and there will be no more.

And finally she visited Kilmesdon,  home of Jack and Jill the nursery rhyme.









Shes in Greece now next part of her journey when I get home
