THE 1950'S

Good morning to you all and welcome to another challenge from the team over at

CD SUNDAY

I am hoping my scheduled post work's as I am staying with my fellow Team Buddy, Beryl this weekend.

Sadly this is ANNE's last week as our Guest Designer, we have loved seeing your beautiful designs Anne and a big thank you from me for supporting us this month. I hope you will pay a visit to see what Anne has in store for you this week.

This week it is CAROL's turn to choose and she has chosen

THE 1950'S

I have to admit to struggling a little with this theme this week, maybe it's because I was growing up in those years and was only 13 when the era ended.

However my DT Card is shown below

RECIPE

My favourite 6 x 6 Scalloped Card for the base.

The backing paper is from a pad by Papermania - Creative Tones Ivory Black.

I have a good selection of this sort of paper pad, almost all the colours they made.

For my main image, I chose to go to Joanna Sheen - Hollywood CD.

Most of the images on this CD are Vintage and it was good to keep to a black, silver and white theme. Something I don't tend to do.

I attached the image to a matt of Silver Mirri before attaching it to one of my latest Spellbinder Dies Decorative Labels Twenty Two.

The die is cut out using Centura Pearl, Snow White,  Hint of Silver Card.

A couple of flourishes from my Cheery Lyn Designs die - B117 Fanciful Flourish, some narrow Black ribbon down the side and a few black Gems finish my design.

I look forward to seeing how you interprete THE 1950's and will be leaving comments on your blogs, just remember to use something in your design from a CD and say which it is you have used.

Do take a minute to visit our blog as my fellow team members all have something different.

Unfortunately Wendy is absent as she is not feeling well, so 'Get Well' soon Wendy, we miss you.

CD SUNDAY - SNOWPEOPLE

Good morning fellow bloggers and welcome to our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

I am pleased to say that I am back online at last, 4 weeks without a connection has left me feeling frustrated as I haven't been able to comment on your entries.

Not so many for last weeks challenge but I have visited and left you comments.

We still have ANNE as your Guest Designer and she has created another beautiful design for you. Do pay a visit to her blog to read all about it.

This week Beryl has chosen the theme and her choice is

SNOWPEOPLE

A reason for you to make a few more cards for Christmas, I haven't made any yet.

You can see my DT Card below

RECIPE

I chose to make a A5 Landscape card for a change and I printed the backing paper design straight onto white card.

For your main image, I used Giordano Christmas Creations CD from Joanna Sheen.

I thought it showed 'Snowpeople' perfectly, the backing paper is from the same CD.

To add a little sparkle I punched out a few Snowflakes from Silver Mirri, looking at it now, maybe  I went a little OTT.

My sentiment was created using the smaller die from the 5 x 7 Enchanted Labels 28 set.

The 'festive wishes' is from the Snowy Animals kit from Hunkydory.

I hope you will join us, just remember to use something from a CD and say which it is you have used.

Do pop over to my fellow team mates blogs to see what they have done for you this week.
