CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes # 86


 Hi,

Time for another challenge at the CD Sunday challenge blog,  at last I have a card for this challenge and I really appropriated that Jo stepped in for a couple of weeks,  This fortnight the host if Pamela,

For my card I used a walk in the countryside CD by Cupcake crafting Co, UK.  I used the backing paper that went with the image and the paper ribbon strips,  not something i used very often but my brain is not quite got its mojo back into crafting.    I hope to start tatting and getting back into crafting,  its been a long eight weeks since I picked up a shuttle or did any real crafting,

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

 

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.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend

Lily of the Valley

 




Hi,

It’s a beautiful day here in Somerset today,  my Lily if the valley are now more or less over, as I usually put a picture of my flowers on the 1st May,  but I was ill,  so I was unable to pick them or even take a photo.  So better late than never these were picked a couple of weeks ago and put in my whitefriars  glass vase,  I brought this vase back in the 1979s when I collected whitefriars glass.

I am beginning to start crafting again, I still have this cough that just won’t go,  but I am back in  with the living so to speak.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend

CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes # 83


 Hi,

I wish all my followers and friends a very happy Easter on this Easter Sunday, its time for the CD Sunday Challenge blog to have a new challenge,  The host this fortnight is me,   I am very pleased I scheduled this post as I am ill in bed with flu,,  I will catch up when I am better in the meantime, stay safe and well.

For my card this fortnight I have chose an image from the Flower Patch CD by Debbi Moore,  this is a new CD for me,  which I brought recently,  its a very pretty CD with lots of lovely images,  I used the florist shop imasge (that was my shop many years ago)  with the matching backing paper,  I matted the image onto gold brush miri card by Hunkydory and the die corners,  well I cut this die for the christening card you saw a couple of weeks ago only this die cut did not completely cut one corner,  so I kept it and then used it on this card making it into a corner piece,  the die is called  Rose butterfly die set by Apple Blossom, and the ribbon is from stash.

Christening card


 Hi,

Last Sunday we had a christening in the family,  I made this card for Mabel she is just six months old. I had never been to a christening before apart from my own,  something different for a change.

I used a cream square card and the rose butterfly die set by Apple Blossom,  I cut the die out of pink card, and two crosses one large fancy one and one small plain cross  which I brought from Amazon some time ago they were part of a set of five  die crosses.   I decoupaged them on top of each other. I added the words in silver peel offs.

I kept the card simple,  less is more  they say.
