CD Sunday challenge - # 49 Anything goes



 Hi,

Its time for another challenge at the CD Sunday Challenge blog,  this fortnight Pamela is the host,  as usual it is anything goes as long as it from a CD, USB, or digital material and is either a card or a project.

For my card I used Celebration Bears CD by Debbi Moore,  this is a fairly new CD, this is one of the slide scene cards off the CD, I printed out the whole card and then cut out the various parts to make this slide scene card,   The bear is decoupaged,  the clouds have a silver edging and the rain from them is silver peel off bits,   The sentiment is "Every cloud has s silver lining"  The large I have  cloud put a couple of silver hearts but I can take them off and put a name or age number later.  This card when I made it was very apt has it was a very wet week.

CD Sunday Plus challenge has a Facebook page for those who would like to enter the challenge and do not have a blog,   here is a link to the page

 

I hope you will visit the CD Sunday Plus Challenge site, and remember if you want to enter the challenge you must use something from a CD, USB or digital material no matter how small and let us know where and what you used the material from,   and that it is a card or a project.    Here is a link to CD Sunday Plus Challenge blog  we would be pleased to see you.

Happy birthday


 Hi,

Today is my hubby’s birthday  (Vernon). I made his card using part of the prize I received from Debbi Moore for the 11th birthday competition.

I used Debbi Moore’s  match it sunflower set  with the die set that accompanied the set.  I only added some ribbon in the spray.  I am pleased with the card and I hope he likes it.  Having a birthday in lockdown is a bit depressing so I thought sunflowers would give a bit of brightness to the day,  even though the weather is not great at the moment.  I have ordered something to eat tonight,  he will find out what it is when we collect our click and collect order,  with no restaurants open it’s going to be a meal at home tonight.

It’s raining snowflakes


 Hi,

As I write this it’s dark, raining and blowing a gale,  and is going to be like this all weekend.

I tested some snowflakes patterns for Robins (Tatting by the bay) new book Four dozen tatted snowflakes.   Well here are some more from her wonderful book,  I used Lizbeth thread in white no 20,  I am enjoying tatting the patterns and I will be doing some more.  I have put the hangers on them ready to hang up.

I hope the weather is better with you where ever you are, stay safe and well.

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything goes # 48

Hi,

The year is going fast and here we are in November and another lock down,  one thing we can all craft and forget the world and all the things going on.  Its time for another challenge at the CD Sunday Challenge blog,  as always its anything goes as long as its from a CD, \USB,  or digital material,  Our host for this fortnight is Carol

For my card this time I chose a Digital download from Debbi Moore called Journey to Wonderland Slide Scene card.    I printed out all the elements and the basic card,  then cut out Alice and the Mad Hatter and a slide which went along the bottom,  Alice is decoupaged,  the rest is joined to the slide and the card with side posts,  although it was a great card to do,   there was a lot of cutting out and working out how to get the figures to stand inside,  Now I have finished the card I am pleased with it and it does lay flat for posting,  I have put another picture at the bottom showing it a little more inside.
