Sue would like you to 'Add some Bling or Glitter' for her theme this week

Good morning to all and today sees the last day of May so I am hoping that June will live up to it's name of 'Flaming June'

Time for another challenge from us, the team, over at CD SUNDAY and this time Sue has asked you to  'Add some Bling or Glitter' in your design.

Thanks for all your entries in our last challenge of 

'Stepping Out' chosen by Jocelyn. It was a pleasure to visit your blogs to see your ideas and pick up new CD's you used.

It is also the end of our Monthly Blog Hop in our tribute to Wendy - Purple Crazy, so many entries it made our choice as a team to pick a winner extremely difficult.

You can see our chosen winner if you pop over to our Challenge Blog - CD SUNDAY

Onto my design for Sue's theme, you can see it below

I chose to use an 8 x 8" White Scalloped Card for my base.

I selected a beautiful background paper from Artylicious CD, now Chocolate Baroque - Peacock Summer Party, to match with my stamped image of a Perfect Peacock

 available from STAMPIN UP. 

This is a wooden stamp available through Stampin Up Demonstrators only. I recently joined them as a 'Hobby' Demo' and gradually I am building up my stock, you soon get 'hooked'

I stamped using Memento Black Ink onto a card which I had previously die cut using Spellbinders Enchanted Labels 28.

It has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Pencils. 

My 'Bling' is the beautiful Purple Pearls on the feathers and a couple of Purple Gems for the flower centre's plus the 'Sparkly' strip across the Lavender Lace.

A lilac bow complete with a Pearl finishes off my design.

I have a friend in mind to receive this card so I hope she likes it.

'P' is for -- with Wynn

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - CHRISTMAS

Good morning and welcome to CD SUNDAY'S latest challenge.

As it is the first challenge of the month we have a new Sponsor and a new Guest Designer.

I will start with our Sponsor for this week and introduce CAROLINE who is a good friend of mine and a few of my fellow team members.

Caroline gave the team some of her Christmas Silhouttes Digi Kits to work with and I for one loved using them. The prize for one lucky winner is a Digikit of their choice from Caroline's shop.

We said goodbye to Kevin but I am sure he will be back in the New Year.

Our Guest Designer for the month of October is SUE and I know you will love having her with us this month.

My DT Card is shown below

RECIPE:

6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank
Backing paper from Artylicious, now Chocolate Baroque Season's Greetings CD - Starry Night Collection
The main image from Caroline's Christmas Sepia Silhouttes Kit 1 has been created using Craft Artist 2.
I added a backing paper from the kit and made it look 3D and a snowflake border added.

The centre image, again in 3D to which I added elements from the kit in the form of a deer and a star. Christmas Lights show up around the circle and I added Glamour Dust for sparkle on the ground.

I hope you will join in with us again this week as I love looking at your blogs and leaving comments.

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

Do take a look at my fellow teamie's creations, all different and super as usual.

Sadly this week Wendy M who was the founder of CD SUNDAY, has decided to step down and move on. 

I am sure you will join me in wishing her well and on a personal note, thank you Wendy for asking me to be part of your original Design Team. It has been a pleasure working with you.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning to you all, hopefully by the time you read this post I will travelling back home.

We have spent the last week on the Dordogne, however until Thursday the weather wasn't good, a lot of rain.

Another week has flown by and it is my turn to choose your theme for this week's challenge over at CD SUNDAY

Sue continues as our Guest Designer this month and I am sure you will like her contribution.

My choice is

DELICIOUS DAMASK

and my DT Card is shown below

RECIPE

6 X 6 Scalloped Card Blank

Backing paper from Artylicious - now Chocolate Baroque CD - Damask Delights.

I made this whilst in Spain and I haven't any embellishments there only a few Die Cuts & Embossing Folders so this is the reason for the plainess.

Thanks for joining us last week with Beautiful Ballerina's, once again, beautiful entries.

Do pop over to see what my fellow teamies have made for you this week, you won't be disapointed.

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