CD Sunday Challenge-anything goes #170

 Hi,

Time for another challenge at CD Sunday,  this fortnight the host is Meg,

For my card this fortnight I used Magical Christmas moments CD by Cupcake crafting,  I love this image to me it feels like Christmas,  I used the backing paper that went with the image,  and matted both  the images  on blue card,  I die cut some winter trees from the creative Expressions Festive Collection,  in silver glitter card,  I made a spray of them on the inside with a blue feather and matching ribbon,  something different which I hoped would work,  and made a matching blue bow adding some  blue gems .

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 the challenge and do not have a blog,    

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.

Autumn has arrived

 Hi,

On Monday we went to the Royal United hospital in Bath, waiting for the bus that never came,  I took these beautiful pictures of the trees in the Park and ride odd down Bath.   

It was a grey misty day,  quite cold,  we got even colder waiting 40 minutes in a drafty bus shelter,  that really was as uncomfortable as could possibly be.  Looking at this wonderful display of autumn colours,  silent,  golden even without the sun,  sums up autumn in one word,  golden.  

I’m not an autumn person,  I prefer spring,  but when autumn shows us the gold,  reds, bronze and sun kissed colours,  then it a lovely sight.  Of course no doubt soon the rain and the wind will return and this colour will be lost for another year.  Let’s just enjoy the mellow weather and look at the wonderful range of autumn colours while we still have it unspoilt 

Hope you have a lovely day where ever you are in the world

Margaret.

Happy World Card Making Day

 Hi,

Happy world card making day,  I thought I would show you a card I made a couple of days ago,  not had time to do any crafting so far today,

This is from a new kit Joyful Giraffes kit by Debbi Moore,  I love these giraffes and I have some more cut out to make,  they are so cheerful.

Today the weather is bad,  high winds,  strong storm showers with a bit of sunshine in between,  during the night the wind and rain were really bad,  Scotland is getting the worse of it,  it’s been bad here I would nit want to be in Scotland,  

Have a lovely weekend and have a lovely day crafting,

Margaret 

Onion Ring Bookmarks

 

 Hi,

It’s a beautiful day here in Somerset,  I have been catching up on some jobs in the garden that I can manage at the moment,  Vernon has had a cataract op,  and is not allowed to bend, garden, hoover, lift, carry anything heavier than the kettle,  and having 7 timed drops a day,  so everything is on me,  not easy when he’s my career,

The top picture is a bookmark called Onion Ring Bookmark by Robin Perfetti,  I love Robins patterns she designs them to be so easy. I also like doing onion rings.  This one I made using Lizbeth Blue River Glades in no 40,  this was some thread I won from Wanda years ago. 

This bookmark also the same pattern I was tatting on the coach holiday we did to Austria in August,  I did also do a hanky edging but I have not sewn it on the hanky yet,  will show you when finished,  I tatted 30 inches on the coach,  plus I made a butterfly for Sue the hostess on the coach,  The gold coach has a hostess who makes tea, coffee and anything else the passengers need on the holiday,  she looked after us very well,  in fact everyone on the coach was so helpful,  not had so much help from strangers before.

I used Lizbeth Pink Parade and leaf green together,  no 20.

I have photos of Austria to show you but I am still working on that,  not easy at the moment to find the time looking after hubby.
