CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - TEDDY BEARS

Good morning to you all, I hope you are keeping warm and well.
Another Sunday is here so that means a new challenge from us all over at
Thanks for your entries last week, Beryl will have a difficult time choosing her TOP 3 
as you did us proud yet again
This week it is the turn of our lovely Wendy P and she has chosen
TEDDY BEARS
A nice easy challenge for you in the run up to Christmas.
LYNN aka LINBY continues as our Guest Designer for December and her creation this week is beautiful. Do visit her blog to see more of her designs.

My DT Card is shown below

I used an 8 x8 Card Blank this week which I covered with one of the lovely papers from 
MEADOW COTTAGE BEARS CD - Crafters Companion
then chose a contrast paper to matt on top.
My image is from the same CD which has been attached to a Spellbinder Die - Fleur De Lis Rectangles before adding layers of die cut decoupage which I got at the same time as the CD.
One of my latest purchases - Marianne Tiny Flowers Dies are added to the side to complete the design along with some Card Candi.
These dies are so delicate you have to be careful when removing them from the die (it took a few attempts) but the end result is good.

I hope you will join in with us this week, please remember to use something from a CD in your design and give credit to the CD.
My fellow teamie's have created some fabulous work so do pop over to their blog's to find out more.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - Mainly Men

Good morning everyone, I hope you have enjoyed 'SUMMER' this week. Sadly it isn't going to last but I have made the most of the beautiful weather and resorted to crafting in the evenings.

Another Sunday so time for a new challenge from us over at CD SUNDAY.
Thank you for joining us last week, you certainly enjoyed 'A' is for  -some super designs and a few new faces.

Sadly this is the last week for our lovely Guest Designer CLAIRE, she has done us proud with her gorgeous creations, thank you Claire, hope to see you again soon.

For this weeks challenge we have the theme of
MAINLY MEN

My DT card is shown below.


RECIPE


8 x 8 Scalloped Card
Edges stamped with C1-116 stamp from Crafty Individuals using direct to stamp technique with Distress Markers.
Backing paper is from Shabby Chic Vintage Travel CD.
Gold embossed card from my stash.
I created the main design in Craft Artist using a 'FREE' kit from ALGERA DESIGNS, sadly this kit has been withdrawn so I am pleased I got it just in time.


I have been using CAP quite a lot this week to try out all the things it can do. 


I hope you will join us again this week, if you are like me and don't like doing cards for men this is the opportunity to give it a whirl. Remember to use something from a CD and say which it is you have used.


Pop over to the blog to see the creations from my fellow teamies, stunning us usual.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning everyone and welcome to this week's challenge over at CD SUNDAY
It is Jenny's turn to choose your challenge and she has decided to do a 'Sketch' for you this week.
We still have the lovely SUE with us as our Guest Designer and she has done us proud again. Do visit her blog to see her inspirational work.

My DT Card is shown below


RECIPE
8 X 8 Card Base
Backing paper from DOCRAFTS PAPERMANIA CAPSULE COLLECTION CD - my latest CD which came Free with Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine this month.
Pearlescent Blue Card embossed with a folder from my stash.
I used the same card for the Circle which was cut out using Spellbinders Butterfly Circles Die and then used the same backing paper to cut a smaller circle using the same die.
My lace strip across the card was cut using a Martha Stewart Punch.
Peppermint Card Candi completes the card.


We hope that you will join in with us this week, not so many entries last week but it will still be difficult for me to choose my Top 3. Pop back on Tuesday to see if it is you.
My fellow teamies have gorgeous cards to tempt you, do stop by their blogs as I know they love reading all your comments, as do I.


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