A Sentiment with Carol

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

CD SUNDAY

Did you see the Eclipse? I am still out here in Spain for 2 more weeks and it was cloudy so we didn't see anything. 

Thank you for your entries for Sue-B's challenge, not so many of you but I know Sue will have a difficult decision choosing her Top 3.

Carol has chosen your theme for the next two weeks, which is

SENTIMENT

Any Sentiment you like but please use something from a CD in your design.

This is my creation below

Again I have used a 6 x 6 White Scalloped Card Blank for the base.

The backing paper and central images are from my latest CD 

 POLKADOODLES - Eden Collection.
The lovely lady sitting on the swing is a coloured image but there are also Black & White images on the CD for you to colour yourself.

I took this into Craft Artist as I have just bought a couple of Quilling Digi Kits and also one of their Digi Boss Kits.

It has been designed all in Craft Artist before printing onto Glossy Photo Paper and adding to the base card.

My Sentiment is 'Happy Birthday' and a few gems are added for dimension.

The Ribbon down the side is from my stash out here.

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

Take a moment to visit my Team Mate's Blogs, there creations as usual are stunning.

See you in two weeks when I will be back home

I would like to enter this into the current challenge from POLKADOODLES
which is
BIRTHDAYS

Floral Frenzy with Wynn

Good Sunday Morning to you all and I hope you are keeping warm and safe.

Sunday's come round so quickly and it is time for our latest challenge from the team at

CD SUNDAY

Our last challenge chosen by me didn't seem very popular with you but I will be choosing my TOP3 and Carol will post my selection in two weeks time. I have a little something for my winner but as I am out in Spain it will be delayed until I return home at the beginning of April.

Our challenge this week is chosen by WYNN and I know you will love her choice of

FLORAL FRENZY

You can see my design below

RECIPE

6 X 6 White Scalloped Card for the base

I chose backing papers and the lovely image and sentiment from 

Joanna Sheen's CD - One Summer's Day
'Floral's Large' Selection

As my backing paper had a lacey effect I printed it onto Pink Card so it would show up. The small Plant Pot in the corner is part of the backing paper.

For my topper and sentiment I used 200 gsm Smooth White Card

3 Green Pearls complete my design.

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

My team mates have designed lovely cards so do pop over to their blogs to see what they have used.

Song Titles with Jocelyn

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

CD SUNDAY

Thank you for your entries in our last challenge. Wynn will have a difficult choice in choosing her TOP 3 so check back in two weeks to see if you were lucky

I chose my TOP 3 for Coffee, Peach and Cream and Jenny has posted my choices on this weeks challenge post.

Jenny will be sending a little something to my winner as I am now out in Spain and I don't have a lot of things here to be able to post to you.

Our challenge this week is chosen by

JOCELYN

and is

SONG TITLES

My Design Team card is shown below

I used a 6 x 6 White Scalloped Card which I made into an Easel Style

For my backing papers, I used for the first time one of my 

Joanna Sheen CD's - Heavenly Cards

My die cut is a Marianne Anja Oval and I used Pearlescent Purple Card to cut it out

A Lemon Fabric Flower is attached to the Die Cut

My 'stepper' is from the same CD and reads 

CONGRATULATIONS

This is my Song Title and of course a well known Eurovision Song entry from

Sir Cliff Richard

I added a few Purple Pearls around the card edge and also on my stepper.

I hope you can find time during the busy christmas build up to join in with us. 

All the team love visiting your blogs and leaving comments.

Take a moment also to visit my fellow team mates blogs to see what they have designed for you this week, you won't be disapointed.

Silhouttes with Carol

Good morning fellow bloggers and welcome to our latest challenge from the team at

CD SUNDAY

It was great to see so many entries in our last challenge and Jenny will have problems choosing her TOP 3, make a note to look again in 2 weeks to see if it is you.

We learnt this week that Wendy, who has been with us since the beginning has decided the time has come for her to step down. She will be missed by us all but we wish her well. 

This week it is Carol's turn to choose your theme and she has decided 

SILHOUTTES

so dig out your CD's and join in with us.

My DT Card is shown below

I am back with my favourite 6 x 6 Scalloped Card for the base

My backing paper and image are from one of my older CD's by Joanna Sheen

Dancing with Shadows

If you are like me you forget what is on these older CD's and I really enjoyed re-visiting it.

I used one of my Anja Dies to cut the main paper and used Centura Pearl and an embossing folder to attach the main image.

The embellishments are from my stash which I re-discovered whilst sorting my craft room.

They are the original ones by Papermania and are stored in individual clear boxes. Of course I had to use the Butterfly and Dragonfly and added 4 Teardrops to the edge of the mat.

Pop over to the blog to see what my other teamies have created and remember to use a little something from a CD in your design. It doesn't have to be a card, you can design ATC's Boxes, Bags etc, the choice is yours.

Get Well with SUE-B

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge from us at

CD SUNDAY

This is the last bank holiday for the year and I hope you are enjoying an extended break although as usual the weather is not being kind. It is a sunny here as I type this post but no doubt it will change as the day progresses.

Thanks for your entries in the last challenge, not so many of you but Jocelyn will be choosing her Top 3 and they will be announced shortly.

This week it is the turn of SUE-B and I think she has chosen an easy theme for you.

Sue's choice is 'GET WELL'

We all need this sort of card at times so it is good to have one already prepared.

My DT Design is shown below

RECIPE

6 x 6 Scalloped White Card for the base.

The edges are covered with Pan Pastel Orange Tint

My backing paper is from one of Bearly Mine CD's - Designer Extremes Vol 1 

Using the Orange Section, quite a change for me and I embossed a small piece to go along the middle using a new embossing folder from Cuttlebug - Geometric Rings

I used a Timeless Rectangle Die Cut to stamp my image of

Nasturtium's, a PSX Stamp I have had for a long time.

The image has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Pencils

 Florals No's 6, 7 & 8 and Nature No's 57 & 59

 Glamour Dust to added a bit of sparkle on the flowers

A Satin ribbon and Card Candi completes my design.

I look forward to seeing your creations for our challenge, 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 our blog as my fellow team members have some beautiful work to show you. Plus you may even pick up a new CD to add to your collection

Food Glorious Food with Wynn

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather and getting time to sit in the garden. It is certainly too warm for crafting during the day.

Not so many entries in our last challenge but I guess a lot of you are on holiday. I will be choosing my Top 3 later in the week and Jenny will post my choices in our next challenge which is in 2 weeks time

This week at CD SUNDAY  it s Wynn's turn to choose.

Her choice is 'FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD'

My contribution is shown below

My usual 6 x 6 Scalloped Card for the base.

 Both of the backing papers and Twisted Pyramage image is from

Cottonball Capers CD which I think is from Doolicrafts but no longer available.

I added a fancy die cut mat behind the image, it is a Die called

Quatrefoil Pattern and is a good one to have in your collection.

For a little dimension I added a satin ribbon bow in brown which has been recycled from a pair of trousers and a small Gold Pearl to the middle of the bow.

The team have all done something different so do pop over to the blog to see their designs.

Just remember to use something from a CD in your design and let us know which CD you have used.

I look forward to visiting you and leaving comments

Kind and Caring Thoughts with Christine

Hello and welcome to our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

As I prepare my post the sun is shining and it is a lovely warm day, I hope it has been the same for you.

Thank you for your entries for Carol's challenge of 'Round Again - Recycling'

not so many of you but guess it is holiday season and Carol will have trouble choosing her Top 3 as the entries we did have were super.

For this fortnight it is my turn to choose the theme and I have chosen

KIND and CARING THOUGHTS.

I am sure we all need this type of card at sometime in our lives so I look forward to visiting you and seeing your take on the theme.

My DT Card is shown below

I have made an A5 Landscape Card for a change and used 200gsm Card and a paper from

'In Other Words' CD from Joanna Sheen for the base.

I haven't done my favourite colour of lilac for a while so decided this is what I would choose.

The actual topper is also from the same CD and you can change the colour and font of the verses to match.

The sentiment says 

Say Yes to Life

Say Yes to life and let it come

Bounding into heart and home

Giving all it has to give

Say your Yes to Life - and live

Patience Strong

I used a scalloped purple card as a mat and tied ribbon around the middle and down the edge of the card.

I cut out a lovely die - Raindrops on Roses - HCD 743 which was a purchase from Oyster Stamps when I attended the workshop with Emma Lou Beechy who is the Creative Director of Heartfelt Creations, here is the link to their Facebook Page

The die has been cut in half and placed either side of the mat and under the ribbon, a few gems were added for a bit of bling.

The die underneath the bow is - Arianna Lace - HCD 747, again from Oyster Stamps

A few purple pearls complete my design.

As it is my week to choose I am giving you a second card, just because I can

This time it is my favourite 6 x 6 Scalloped Card for the base.

Both the backing paper and sentiment topper is from the same CD as above.

This sentiment is

TAKE HEART

Take heart, Take comfort too,

Let time be kind to you

Think thoughts that heal and bless,

With quiet happiness.

Patience Strong

I chose to matt the topper onto a piece of Burgundy card which I had already embossed and it's from my craft box.

3 Flowers have been punched and added as embellishments along with a Burgundy Ribbon Bow

For a little sparkle on the flowers, glitter has been added.

I hope you like what I have created and look forward to seeing your designs, please remember to use something from a CD and say which it is you have used.

My fellow teamie's have beautiful idea's for you, so do pop over to see what they have designed for you.
