PRETTY IN PINK with CD SUNDAY

Good morning to you all and I wish you a Happy, Healthy New Year.

I have been struggling with my connection as I am out in Spain so apologies for not commenting on your entries for a few weeks.

We are changing the way we challenge you over at 

CD SUNDAY

and if you have already been and had a look you will notice that we have a brand new header designed by our lovely SUE-B.

The team has been split into 2 groups and will take it in turn to host a challenge and we are delighted to announce the addition of WYNN to our team.

Welcome aboard Wynn, so pleased you accepted to be part of the team.

I have been given the honour of choosing your theme this week and I think it it will be an easier challenge for you all.

My choice is

PRETTY IN PINK

RECIPE

6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank

Pretty Pink Backing Paper from one of my Bearly Mine CD's

My main image is a new stamp from LOTV and I have used Spectrum Noirs to colour the image.

I cut the image using a Spellbinder Die and attached it using 3D Foam Tape.

The 'Friend' sentiment is from my stash out here and a few Pink Gems complete my design.

I look foward to seeing your interpretation of this weeks theme and hope I will be able to visit you and leave comments (internet permitting)

Do take a look at my fellow teams designs, they are beautiful as always and so different.

We still require you to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which CD you have used.

Now it is over to you, have fun and enjoy the New Year with us.

CD SUNDAY - STRIPEY

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

Thank you for all your entries in last weeks challenge, I enjoyed visiting you all and leaving you comments. It will be hard to choose my TOP 3 but choose I must, so pop back next Sunday to see who will win a little something from me.

Unfortunately we are still without our lovely 

Wendy, if you are reading this Wendy, love and hugs from us all.

We are having a month with just us the Design Team and it is 

Joceyln's turn to choose this week and she has decided to go

'STRIPEY'

My DT Card is below

RECIPE

My usual 6 x 6 Scalloped Blank which has been edged with Pan Pastels.

The backing paper is from a Bearly Mine CD I have had for some time.

I used one of my latest Tonic Dies - LOVE ARCH SQUARES for a mat and applied the same colour Pan Pastel to give the main image some depth.

For the main image I chose to use my Pollyanna Pickering DVD once again.

 This is a beautiful DVD with lots of superb artwork.

 I printed the Squirrels eating the nuts from the basket onto Matte Photo Paper. I do like the effect this paper gives.

Quite an easy card to make and I do like the overall effect.

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

Do take a moment to visit my fellow Design Teams blog and read what they had created for you this week.

I am entering this design into a new to me challenge blog, called

CRAFTING MUSKETEERS

Their theme this week is 

Pretty Pastels

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - FROSTY DAYS

Good morning to all my followers and welcome to our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

I understand from my family and friends that BERYL'S choice of

FROSTY DAYS 

is apt for the weather in the UK.

Not so for us, as we have clear blue skies and lots of sunshine here in Spain.

Thanks for your entries in last week's challenge, pop over to see if the Random Selector has chosen you for the Prize from our Sponsor - The Art of Craft.

My internet connection hasn't been good this week, especially at night so I have taken the opportunity to schedule my post during the day. Just hope Blogger behaves and the post goes 'live'

This is the second week for our lovely Guest Designer - LYNN, who you know as LINBY

She has done us proud and created a beautiful card to share with you so do pop over to her blog and leave your comments.

My fellow teamie, Jenny hasn't been well this week so she has no card to share with you.

 Hugs Jenny, hope you feel better soon xx

My DT Card is shown below

RECIPE

A5 Portrait Silver Card Blank

Navy Blue Mat attached to a beautiful backing paper from

Bearly Mine Designs - Designer Extreme Vol 2  CD

My photo is our garden when we had snow early in November 2011, this is printed on Matt Photo Paper

I used a Spellbinders Die as an embellishment and  added a few Silver Gems for effect.

My sentiment is from a large bag of Sentiment's from Lakeland. when they sold craft things.

I hope you will join us again this week, we love reading your blog's and finding out what you use. 

Just remember to use something from a CD in your designs and say which CD it is you have used.

Sadly, we are still getting a few entries without a CD being used so you are not eligible for any prizes.

Pop over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of my teamies have done for you this week.

You won't be disappointed.
