CD Sunday Challenge - anything goes #173th - Updated

 Hi,

This is my last card for CD  Sunday challenge,  I am leaving the group as from the 31st December,  really us due to ill health,  I have been struggling for some time trying to keep up with making cards to a schedule,  not all ways easy.  I will continue to make cards but I can take my time and do other challenges if I see any I fancy,  I have several other things I want and need to do which I have put to one side for a long time.  Don’t worry I am not giving up my blog but you may not see me as much.  This on top of my hubby having his cataract  operations. which he has just has his second op,  he can’t bend, lift, carry, hoover, and timed drops.  No it’s not easy, but hopefully next year things might improve.

Please see update at the bottom of the page 

This challenge is the last one this year for CD Sunday Challenge  and the host this fortnight is Jocelyn 

My card is  download from Opulence by design  the image is called Anna,  and the backing paper and flowers are from the Frosty Flower Kit.   When I printed out the kit,  I put the parchment paper in the printer but it decided to put the backing paper first,  then the flowers on ordinary paper.  So I ended up printing the flowers again on parchment paper,  fussy cutting and then embossing them.  The parchment backing paper I used as the backing for the card,  not going to waste it,    I matted the image and the sentiment on the glitter card,  cutting out the foliage also in the same card,  cut out the snowflake border and snowflakes on white card,  adding a handmade bow and ribbon in the spray from stash,  phew that sounds a lot when you write it all down.

Update

This is from CD Sunday challenge page today,  I wish to thank the team for this lovely piece on their blog today.

 This is our last challenge for the year and it’s also Margaret’s last challenge as she’s stepping down from the team. Margaret and I joined the team at the same time – way back in May 2016. I don’t recall Margaret ever missing a challenge which is some achievement over nine and a half years! Margaret's contribution to the challenge will be missed by the whole team.

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,

CD Sunday challenge, - anything goes # 97

Hi,

Here we are at the end of October,  I hope everyone has a lovely Halloween,  I have not made a Halloween card for this challenge as \i have no one to send it to,  so for this challenge I have made a christmas card,  I am so behind with christmas cards,  This fortnight the host is Jo,  and as usually its anything goes as long as it from a CD, USB or digital material.

For my card I used a recycled topper which I re cut into the shape of a bubble,  matted it onto a backing sheet,  from the CD Magical christmas moments by Cupcake crafting,  added some die cut snowflakes from the snowflake die by Chloe. and a white bow of ribbon

Selection of christmas cards

Hi,

I could not show these card before  christmas,  I wanted to wait until they had been received,  so hopefully now they have all arrived.

They are all the same,  different shades of blue,  the paper was from stash and I cannot remember who they are from but they were perfect for these cards,  I am showing a couple I actually made half a dozen of these.    I used the snowflake die by Chloe and cut the snowflake die cuts to fit around the edge of the card,  the same blue paper as the back of the angel  and cut an oval in the card placing  and hang the christmas angel die by tonic in the middle.

I was really pleased with these cards,  it took time cutting the dies and angels  so I hope they liked their cards.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge - # 22 Anything goes ( Debbi Moore)

Hi,
As usual our challenge this fortnight is Anything goes as long as its from a CD, USB or a Digital material.
This fortnight I am hosting the challenge for CD Sunday Plus, I meet Debbi Moore at a craft show in Shepton Mallet in April,   we the team were  delighted to have been given from Debbi Moore CDs to work from for this challenge,  we as a team thank Debbi Moore for her generosity.
Because we have used Debbi Moore’s CDs this is still anything goes challenge but I you would like to use one of her CDs, USBs or one of her downloads from her web site please feel free to do so.
For my card I have used the Once upon a Fairytale CD,   there are some beautiful images on this CD,  I actually made this card into a christmas card,  using the image and a backing paper from the CD,   I used the snowflake die by Chloe and cut two splitting them in half placing one each side of the image and them on the sides of the card,  I used Hunydory silver brushed miri card to cut them out with,  I place a spray of dark blue roses and foliage with blue ribbon at the bottom of the card and finished the card off with blue ribbon and a silver peel off.
