CD Sunday Challenge - anything goes #117

Hi,

Another fortnight has gone by and its time again for another challenge on CD Sunday,  The host this fortnight is  Carol  as usual its anything goes,

For my I used a free download form Debbi Moore's website called Ice Queen,   I used the backing paper that went with the image,  I decoupaged t he image and cut around her to make the front of the card shaped.  All the elements on the card came with the download,  I simply added a handmade bow.

21st Wedding Anniversary

Hi,

Today is our 21st Wedding anniversary,  gosh 21 years does not seem like it,   the weather that august was very similar to the weather we are having at the moment,  we had the only fine day with the sun shinning,  and tgat was our wedding day,   the rest of the mouth was wet.

The card I made for my husband I used a House Mouse image from a House Mouse CD by Joanna Sheen.  The colour for 21 year was iris and this was the nearest piece of card I had,  I tried to make it more manly I don't think I managed it after the complaint I had last time it was too female.  Anyway I hope he likes it. 

We are going to have a day our together,  just hope the day is fine even if the sun does not shine.

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything goes #116

Hi,

Time for another challenge from CD Sunday,  the host this fortnight is Pamela,  as usual it is anything goes,

For my card this fortnight,  I used an image and backing paper from Jayne Netley Mayhew collection CD by Joanna Sheen,  I made this card different,  as I put a piece of acetate and let fixed the image to the back so it hang down,  I used various snowflake dies and a die by Apple Blossom Penguin that came free from a magazine.  Finished off the card with a merry Christmas peel off.

Crochet flowers

 Hi,

Another wet day here in Somerset, July was the wettest and the way it’s going August will be the same,  it’s good for my runner beans and tomatoes but they also need some sun,  and it’s been lacking,  yes it’s shinning somewhere in the world but it’s yet to make appearance today.

I have been making some crochet roses,  actually they are easy,  I am hoping to put them on wires so they can stand in a vase,  where are my wires in the shed,  and it’s pouring with rain,,  when it’s dry I forget to take some out and when it’s wet, I think to myself I could do that.  

I made them in cotton,  now to learn to make some leaves and hopefully move onto sunflowers,  crochet is a learning curve for me,  something I mastered in lockdown,  perhaps I will get onto toys but at the moment I am enjoying making flowers.

Here is a link to the pattern I used l https://youtu.be/ptWYK10MeQU

Hopefully the sun will come out to play before the end of august.

Have a good day

Margaret
