CD SUNDAY - GO GREEN

Good morning to you all, I am still here in sunny Spain but not for much longer.

3 more weeks then I will be back home returning to 'your weather'

Another week has flown by and it is time for our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

Thank you for taking part last week with my choice of Ornate Blossom. It is going to be difficult to choose my TOP3 but if you visit us on Tuesday/Wednesday my choices will be shown there.

Our theme this week of GO GREEN has been chosen by JENNY and she chose the theme before she took some time off. I am hoping she will be back with us before too long.

GLORIA  continues as our Guest Designer and she has designed a stunning creation. Do pop over to her blog to read all about it.

Onto my DT Card which is shown below

I decided to make an A4 Landscape Card this week, a change from my normal 6x6 Scallop.

It has been created using a Debbi Moore CD - Paper Delights Foiled Flourishes Section

Printed directly onto White Card, to which I added a white Lace Border to the top.

My Spellbinder Dies came in useful to cut out the 'mats' in a lovely shade of Green Pearl Card.

I added a Snowdrop picture from Papermania along with a Thinking of You Sentiment.

Two lovely swirl die cuts complete my design. Unfortunatley I can't remember if the swirls are Marianne Dies as they came with me last year.

I hope you will join in with us again, just remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which it is you have used. 

While you are here, do pop over to see the stunning designs the rest of the team have created this week.

We look forward to seeing and commenting on your designs this week

I HAVE WON

I received a notification from Crafters Companion this afternoon saying I had

'WON'

a Full Set of Spectrum Noir Pens in a recent competition over on their Facebook page.

I can't believe my luck and am over the moon to add these pens to my collection.

CD SUNDAY - ORNATE BLOSSOM

Good morning to my followers and welcome to another challenge from us at

CD SUNDAY

I hope you are having some sunshine back home as it is beautiful here in Spain. 

Thank you for all your entries in last weeks theme of Weddings, you did us proud and we loved seeing your creations. Sue T will have a difficult task choosing her TOP 3.

GLORIA continues as your Guest Designer and she has designed a beautiful card so do pop over to her blog to read all about it.

It is my turn to choose this weeks theme and as it is the month of May I decided to give you

ORNATE BLOSSOM.

My DT Card is below

My recipe this weeks is:

6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank

2 backing papers and my image is from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams CD

The main paper is from the Satin collection and the two die cuts are from the Leaves collection.

I used my latest purchase from Joanna which is the beautiful ANJA DIE - LR0272

The main image is printed onto Glossy Photo Paper

When I ordered my Die, I also ordered a pack of Prima flowers in pastel shades which I added as a finishing touch.

 I must remember to bring our more embellishments next time.

I hope you will join in with us again as we love to see your creations and leave comments on your blogs (for me this is the best part of being a DT)

Remember to use something from a CD and say which it is you have used.

Do visit my fellow team's blogs to see their take on this weeks theme, all different and stunning as always.

CD SUNDAY - WEDDINGS

Good morning to you all , I hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday.

I am still out in Spain and the weather here is super so I hope it is the same back home.

Another week has flown by which means time for our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

Thank you for your stunning entries for Purple Paradise, a popular choice and I know Wendy will find it difficult to choose her TOP 3.

As it is the start of a new month we have a new Guest Designer joining us and we were thrilled when GLORIA accepted our invitation.

I have met her just the once at Port Sunlight and she is a lovely lady.

Our newest team member - Sue T has chosen your theme this week and it is fitting as Gloria 'tied the knot' herself on April 25th. Congratulations to you both

Here is my DT Card

I chose yet another 6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank for the base of my design.

Using my beautiful ANJA DIES - LR0242  I cut out a couple of mats to showcase the main element of my card.

The papers and the lovely image of the Wedding Couple are from

Debbi Moore's Wedding Stationery CD.

They are all printed onto Glossy Photo Paper and I carefully cut out the embellishments from the same section of the CD to add to my design.

I hope you will join in with us this week as we love to see your designs and leave you comments.

For me, this is the best part of being a DT member.

Remember to use something from a CD in your design and say which it is you have used.

Do take a look at my fellow 'teamies' creations, they are stunning as always.

CD SUNDAY - PURPLE PARADISE

Good morning to you all, I wish I could say it was lovely and sunny here in Spain but as the saying goes

'The Rain In Spain is falling mostly in Benidorm'

Another Sunday so another challenge from us at

CD SUNDAY

Sadly this is MARGARET's last week with us as a Guest Designer and she has blown us away with her beautiful designs and this week is no exception.

 We hope to have her back later in the year. Thank you Margaret for your creations.

Do take a look at her blog, you won't be disapointed.

It is the turn of our lovely Wendy to choose  your challenge for the week, no surprises in guessing the theme.

PURPLE PARADISE

Wendy and I think alike as we both have a love of this particular colour so it was easy for me to prepare my card for you and you can see it below

RECIPE

6x6 Scalloped Card for the base

Lovely backing paper from PAM LEFORS - if you haven't visited Pam you should as she designs lovely kits and quite frequently does special offers.

My main design is from JEMS DESIGNS

If  you have seen any of the shows on Create & Craft you will know how beautiful their CD's  are.

This design is from 'Yesterday's Dreams' CD - one of the many delights on this CD.

I took it into CAP2 and played around with various sections until I was happy with my design.

 It is printed onto Glossy Photo Paper

There are 5 different layers on the card, however I am sending this through the post and to keep down the postal charges I made it flat.

I hope you will have fun and join us again this week, we love to visit your blog's and leave comments.

Just remember to use a CD and say which is it you have used.

Take a look at the challenge blog as my fellow teamie's have come up trumps again.

MARGARET continues as our Guest Designer for April and when you pop over to her blog you will see a beautifully designed card, so fitting for the challenge.

RECIPE

My favourite 6 x6 Scalloped Card Blank

I added a beautiful paper from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew CD

This is also the matching BP for the main image

I think that Lions are truly majestic as well as being the king of the jungle.

It is printed onto Glossy Photo Paper.

I have been checking what I have in the way of supplies here in Spain and came across these two lovely embossed pieces of card at the bottom of my craft tote.

Both pieces are from the Co-ordinations range and the die cut is a Spellbinders Die - Lacey Squares.

This was already embossed and sanded to show the hidden core colour.

I hope you will join us again this week, thanks for your lovely entries last week. I certainly enjoyed visiting you and leaving comments. This is the best part of being a DT as we pick up ideas and also learn about new CD's, we can never have too many
