Good afternoon to all you follow me and a late but warm welcome to our latest challenge from us the team over at CD SUNDAY

I am still overwintering in sunnier climes but for the last few days have been suffering with some sort of virus plus a very bad cough. My energy levels are low and I not doing much of anything other than relaxing.

JENNY has chosen the challenge for the next couple of weeks, which is

ANIMAL ANTICS.

So dust off those CD's and join in with us.

My Design is shown below

I chose to use Cottonball Capers for my CD and printed off backing papers

and this cute image of Dancing Mr Fox.

I don't have a lot of supplies out here but did find a few Die Cut's to mount Mr Fox and Friends onto.

Four green pearls were added to make the image 'pop'

I hope you will join in with us and share your take on Jenny's theme.

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 CHALLENGE - AUTUMN SPLENDOUR

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

Thanks for your beautiful entries last week and remember to check out if Random Organiser has chosen you as the lucky winner of one of Caroline's Digi Kits.

We have the lovely Sue with us again this week, however, sadly for Sue and for us she has withdrawn from the remaining challenges this month for personal reasons. We, the team, are thinking of you Sue and I know you will be back with as GDT in the new Year.

Our theme this week is chosen by Wendy P and she chose - AUTUMN SPLENDOUR

My DT Card is shown below

RECIPE THIS WEEK IS
6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank - I decided to Distress the edge using Antique Linen Distress Ink
The backing paper's and the image are all from Bearly Mine Designs CD's.
The main backing paper is from Designer Inserts Extreme, the next bp is from Designer Extreme Vol 2 and the central image which I mounted onto Gold Mirri Card for effect is from the same CD.
I added a few die cut swirls,a couple of leaves and a Just For You peel off as a finishing touch.

I hope you will join us again this week, remember that we ask you to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which it is you have used.
Check out the challenge blog to see the super designs from my fellow team members, beautiful as always.

I am hoping Blogger behaves and post's this at the scheduled time as I will be in London celebrating my birthday with my Sister and family so won't be able to check until I get home.
