CD Sunday challenge - anything goes #147

 Hi,  

Last but one challenge for this year,  I know it hard to say but it won’t be long before Christmas,  the host this fortnight is Jo.

For my card I used a download from Opulence by Design,   They have some wonderful designs on Facebook and instagram,  this is a kit called Venetian masks,  the art work is beautiful,  I matted the images into gold card,  made a spray with pink feathers,  cut a gold fanciful flourish  from a die by Cheery Lynn designs,  cut out some of the flowers from the kit, added  some pink ribbon.

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.

Happy Birthday Vernon

 Hi,

Today is my husbands birthday,  after a very hard time since June,  I can say things are beginning to get better,  and he’s now having physio on his shoulder.

I made him this card,  its a download from craftsuprint.com I love this set,  there are four designs,  and since we  went to Scotland in April I just had to make him one  of these cards with the highland cow and whisky bottle. I added some peel off hearts coming from the cows head.

It’s getting colder this week,  just hope it’s a fine day.

CD Sunday Challenge - anything goes #145

Hi,

Time for another challenge at CD Sunday  and this fortnight it is Pamela who will be the host

For my card this fortnight I have used an old CD popcorn bear disc 2 by My craft studio, I used the backing sheet and matching image,  I used a  stepper  shape card from KatySue.  I used the bear images and put them down the sides so they are poking out from the card,  it maybe hard to see in the photo. I added a hand made blue bow at the top and used a flower edging die down the side from Printable Heaven,   It is an old die I have not used for some time,  it was nice to use some old items in the craft room for a change.

2024 TTAL - temperature tatting along part 13

 Hi,

It’s a beautiful day now here in Somerset,   I know I have not posted very much over recent weeks,  and I would like to thank Janette for her lovely comment on my last post.  Yes we are both ok,  well ok’ish to be more correct.

As you know Vernon had an accident in June,  it’s been a long time but we have now found out the damage to his shoulder in the last couple of weeks,  he’s now going or will be having physio on the shoulder,  no idea when that will start,  if it takes as long as it was to find out what he did when he fell,  he might start physio next year.

As his shoulder gets better he has finally had some skin cancer cut out,  it’s taken 11 months since he saw them in clinic to finally get treatment,  now I am a nurse looking after and dressing the stitches every few days.  Hopefully this won’t bring the stress illness back,  

September brought on some sort of illness,  and we now realise that it was stress related,  I was totally worn out,  looking after someone full time,  is no laughing matter when you are disabled and have fibromyalgia,  we went away for a week at the end of September,  total rest,  it was doing us good until I got a nasty cold,  that affected my eyes,  it was a really nasty head cold,  although I still have a cough,  yes I am on the mend.  

This week I am full on as I have two craft fairs two weekends following each other,  I had some plans for some new things most of which did not happen,  

The picture above is my temperature tat along,  I finished September yesterday,  only three more months,  it now measures 18 by 17 inches,  there’s some ends to sew in and a few beads to sew in for land mark items during the year,  we never did get a really hot day,  so the red colour was never used.   The temperatures are slowly going down as reflected in the colours.  Although it’s quite mild for the time of year.

Well there’s an update in what’s been happening over the last few months.  I have a few bits to post and I will post over the next few weeks.

Hope you are keeping well,

Margaret

 Hi,

Tine is flying by very quickly this  year and it’s time for another challenge on CD Sunday,  the host this fortnight is Carol

For  my card this fortnight I used Sunflower Dreams CD by Debbi Moore, both for  the background and image,  I matted the image onto gold textured card,  and place a spray of sunflowers at the side with an orange feather and yellow ribbon.
