CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes # 143


 Hi,

Here we are at the end of September,  I have scheduled this post as I am away for the week.  As usual it’s anything goes and the host this fortnight is Jocelyn.

For  my card this fortnight I used a free download from craftsuprint,  I enjoyed this card,  but the top with the roses is very fiddly so I cut around and used a grey promarker to save some of the more fiddly bits and give a more stubble top,  I also decoupaged the roses in the middle.  I added a red ribbon bow

2024 TTAL - Temperature tat along part 12


 Hi,

Here is update on the temperature tat along on Facebook,   I have now finished August,  and I am 10 days behind.  I have had a couple of days which I have been too tried to tat,  but hopefully I can catch up this month,  

The weather has not been very hot in august and we have been below normal temperatures or just on the average temperature,  I was really hoping to get a few red  thread days this summer,  but dark pink and only a few days of those all summer.   My sister  in law suggested doing it again next year to compare temperatures,  not sure it’s been a bit of a labour of love.  I am looking forward to December now and finishing it.

Today is 9/11 and a day that begins back memories of the planes crashing into the twin towers and the pentagon,  my pen friend was in the pentagon when the plane crashed into it,  she escape but I remember my thoughts watching that plane go in the build.   She told me that they were in her bosses office watching New York and someone saying behind her that they would never hit the pentagon,  then bang and someone running though shouting get out.  She ran out with everyone else as fast as she could.

Hope you are having a good week

Margaret.

CD Sunday challenge- anything goes #141

 

Hi,

Today is the first day of September,  and I am hoping the weather just might be a bit better,  it’s certainly been windy towards the end of august,  while I am writing this post,  it’s blowing well.   It’s time for another challenge at CD Sunday and the host this fortnight is Jo

For my card I used an image  and backing paper from party Penguins 2 CD by Debbi Moore,   I thought this was a little different colouring to the usual Christmas cards, and I felt it worked well.  I decoupaged the image  and  I also used a snowflake die frame  by Chloe,  which I cut in half and used in two corners and scattered a few snowflake around the card,
