CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - A LA MODE

Well, I know it is Wednesday and this post should have been done on Sunday but you wouldn't believe the trouble I am having with the Internet here in Spain (Almost wish I was back home lol)

At CD Sunday this week as you already know we have a fantastic Sponsor, Ooh-la-la and also a new Guest Designer, Jen of Timeout Crafting who is returning to us for this month.

I am keeping my post short and not doing my usual links as the connection could go down at any time.
I chose 'Hydrangea Blue' design from the latest Shoe's in Bloom part 2 CD.
Ooh la la are giving a prize of any of their CD's to one lucky person chosen by Random Selection so check back on Sunday 12th to see if you are the lucky winner.


I used a 'Turn Back Page' to make my card and added pyramage but kept flat for postage purposes.
The Bow and Happy Birthday Sentiment are from the Embellishment Section of the CD.
I line of blue ribbon has been attached to the top of the card as a finishing touch.
I hope you will join us again this week and I look forward, internet permitting, to leaving you comments.

NEW YEAR - NEW BLOG CHALLENGE

Today see's the start of a New Challenge Blog which is being run by a very good friend of mine, Deb's Mitchell  and I am delighted to say I was asked to be part of her Design Team.


Sadly I am unable to take part this month as I am waiting for Inks to arrive from England. You may know that I am spending the winter months in Spain, however be assured I will be joining in with the rest of the Design Team from February.


Some of my fellow teamie's I know already but some are new to me, however I am certain that as we contribute during the year they will become valued friends.


The challenge will run for a month and a lucky person will have the chance of winning one of Debs CD from her Online Shop

So having read all this, do pop over to Debs Challenge Blog to find out more and see what my fellow teamie's have created.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - The Letter 'O'

Good morning and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. I hope it brings you love, good fortune and lots of happiness.

For the start of 2012, CD SUNDAY  have a fantastic sponsor for you, and I know most of you will have heard of
SHARON DUNCAN.
Sharon contacted us a while ago as she knew we were looking for sponsors for 2012 and of course we are thrilled that she is our first sponsor for 2012. Thank you Sharon.
Your prize from Sharon this week is:
Embossibilities Elegance and Embossibilities Texture Prints CD with some printable papers and embellishments

Sadly for me this week I an unable to take part as I have NO Ink for my Printer. Some of you may know that I am spending the winter in Spain and I didn't realise until Christmas Eve that the printer was out of action.
So I am waiting for a parcel to arrive with Inks I ordered online.

On a positive note you will be thrilled to see what the rest of my Teamie's have come up with for this weeks challenge which is:


THE LETTER 'O' - OLYMPICS
A super choice as this is the year for our London Olympics and Sharon gave all the team papers to work with alongside the challenge.
You will be blown away with what they have come up with for this week, do pop over to see their creations.

We hope you will continue to support us in 2012, we are slowly having more entries and for us that is great. We love looking at your blog's and leaving comment's and picking up tip's and idea's along the way.
As usual all we ask is that you use something from a CD in your design and say which CD you have used.

So it is over to you and good luck in the draw.
