CD Sunday Challenge - Anything goes

Hi,

Happy New Year it’s Time for the first challenge of the year on CD Sunday Challenge blog,  The challenge is  #1 Anything goes   There are a few changes and the first is that the challenges will be numbered.  the second is that there will be no prizes awarded,  except for the previously mentioned three special occasions.  the top 3 for each challenge will continue to be chosen by the challenge host and the result posted on the next appropriate challenge.  Our host for this first challenge is Carol.   Our rule still stands that a CD need to be used either as something on the card comes from a CD,  either the whole card or just a small part of a card.
For my card I used the CD A walk in the Countryside by creative crafting.   this is a lovely Cd with some gorgeous images,  I used the image and backing paper to match,  matting the image on a piece of the new Hunydory blushed Miri  gold card and decoupaging the image.

CD Sunday challenge now 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 Challenge site, and remember if you want to enter the challenge you must use something from a CD no matter how small and let us know which CD you used.  Here is a link to CD Sunday Challenge blog  we would be pleased to see you.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend

Back to Basics - Spotlight Technique

 Hi,
Time for another challenge at Back to Basics Challenge blog,   this is slightly different challenge this time,  we would like to see Spotlight Techniques.

Here are some links for inspiration  Pinterest link
       and You Tube link

My card I did something slightly different I used a CD and printed the image in black and white and then again in colour,  I matted the black and white on silver card,  and cut two ovals out in different sizes and matched up the coloured images onto the black and white card.  I used the backing paper from the CD.   I used A walk in the countryside Cd by Creative Crafting,    I wanted to show you that CD's can be very versatile,  and just added a ribbon to match.

We would be delighted to see you are there is a the Back to Basics and beyond challenge blog and here is a link to the blog

Christmas Cards

 Hi,

These are a few christmas cards I made for the family and Special friends,  I thought I would make one post of some of them,

I used the same image which came on a sheet with several of the same design but in different shapes.  I used a winters walk in the countryside CD by Creative Crafting.

This tunnel card came for a Walk in the Countryside CD by Creative Crafting

And Finally this card came from the Shoes in Bloom CD by Ooh La la Creations which my grand daughters had.

That finishes my christmas posting for 2017,   

Hope you had a lovely New Year.

For this card I decided to try something different and do a tunnel card from the CD Walk in the countryside by Creative Crafting.  I do like this CD it has some beautiful images and each image can be used in different ways.
I added some flowers from stash, and a happy birthday peel off.

These birthday celebrations could becopme a permanent thing because when we had one last year and you supported us so well that we deiceded to add a speical gift to our winner for this 7th birthday and hope you will all support us again.

So please make something with Spring colours and the winner of the top 3 will become the proud owner of the following additional prize - donated by a team member.

Secret Slider

Please remember to use something from a CD - and tell us which one.  it would be an awful chame to do wonderful work and then not qualify for such a prize.

For this card I used A walk in the countryside CD for the backing and image,  I printed out two images and decoupaged the image making it looked puffed out.   Matted the image on yellow card and placed a yellow die cut butterfly in the corner,   the flower spray has an ivy die spray and two parchment flowers with leaves.
Finished off with a birthday peel off.

Happy Birthday Vernon

Hi,
Today is my husbands birthday,  I used a new CD which I recently brought.   This is Novembers image and I thought it was a lovely image,  the CD I used  for the image and backing paper was from A walk in the countryside by Creative Crafting.
I matted the image which I decoupaged on red glitter card and the ribbon piece from the picture I used to place the peel off words and matted that on the same red glitter card.   I finished off the card with red ribbon.
I am pleased with this card and I hope he will like it.
Its turned very cold over the last few days and there has been snow in various parts of the UK,  as we are travelling up to Sheffield again next week,  just hope the weather improves.
Until we meet again take care
                               Hugs
