CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning fellow bloggers, hope you have recovered from Bonfire Night Party's. We had a lot going off around us last night and I am sure tomorrow night will be the same.

As it is the first Sunday of November for us at CD SUNDAY, we have a new Sponsor for this week - CAROLINE who owns a fabulous site and does all her own artwork which she sells as Digi Kits.
Her kits are fantastic value, each kit comprises of Papers, Silhoutte Frames, Matting Papers plus other items to embellish your design.
Caroline has just produced a few Christmas Themed Kits, so do pop along to her site to see for yourself what good value they are.
She gave all the DT's their own kit to play with and I have had such fun making my card for this week.
Caroline is offering one of her Digi Kits as a prize for one lucky participant.

We also have a new Guest Designer for the month of November, so please welcome SUE to our team. Sue has been taking part in our challenges for some time and she impressed all the DT with her entries so we decided to ask her to join us. Fortunately for us, she agreed.

Now onto my card which you can see below.



RECIPE
6 x 6 Scalloped Card
The main backing paper is from Essence of Nature CD - Glenda Waterworth - now Chocolate Baroque
The second layer is also from the same CD.
For my 'topper' I used one of the beautiful papers from Carolines Sunset Silhouttes Digi Kit.
I used Craft Artist to import the paper and then added different elements from the same kit. Using Craft Artist to make my card is a 'First' and I really enjoyed importing the elements and playing around to achieve the finished card.
I used a total of 7 different elements from the Digi Kit in creating my design.
4 Black Gems have been added as a finishing touch.

We hope you will join us again this week, remember you must use 'something' from a CD in your design and say which CD you have used. Unfortunately any entries we receive which don't use a CD will not be elligable for the prize draw.

Do take a look at my teamies designs, fabulous as always.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning all, another week gone by and time again for our latest challenge over at
We have the lovely PAMELA joining us again as our Guest Designer for October so do pop over to her blog and leave some love.
Our challenge for you this week is:
HALLOWEEN

My DT Card is shown below


RECIPE
Card base created using Joanna Sheen's CD - The Cardmakers Year
I chose a backing paper of Spiders Web's from Bearly Mine Designs - Donna who owns BMD regulary gives her followers FREEBIE papers to download. Do pop over to see what is available, you won't be disapointed.
My topper depicting Halloween is also from The Cardmakers Year CD.
I placed a small of backing paper behind the topper just for interest.
Black Gems and a little Card Candi finishes the design.

I have to confess that Halloween is something I don't do but we all have to come out of our comfort zone from time to time.
We hope to see joining us this week, remember to use something from a CD and say which CD you have used. Unfortunately entries not complying with the above will not be eligible when we have prize draws.

Do pop over and see what the rest on my Teamies have done for you this week.
