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.

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.

Bah Humbug Challenge - Scarves & Mittens

Good morning to you all and welcome to the latest challenge from the ladies at Humbug Hall

This is my 3rd week as a Guest DT and I am enjoying being part of this super blog.

The theme this week is

Scarves & Mittens

suitable for this wet and windy we are having, but also of course for Christmas.

I have two cards to share this week, the first one is an image taken from Giordano Christmas Creations CD, printed onto Glossy Card. I little Glamour Dust is added for sparkle. The backing papers are from my Christmas stash and I added Gold Peel Offs for a finishing touch.

My second card is stamped using a Snowman stamp designed by Elisabeth Bell for Whiff of Joy

Coloured using Promarkers before cutting out with my Scalloped Oval Nestie Die. I placed him on some Red leather look card before layering onto paper, again from my christmas stash.
I enjoyed making them both and the reason for two this week, well, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the first card so decided to have a play with stamps and promarkers. When I submitted my cards to Humbug Hall for approval the ladies kindly said they would show both on their blog.

Next week is my last week as a GDT.

Do pop over to Bah Humbug's Blog to see the fabulous creations from Ann, Max & my fellow GDT Wendy, you won't be disapointed.

Bah Humbug GDT

Good morning to you all, Friday again, which means it is time for the latest challenge from the
Bah Humbug ladies and their Guest DT's.

This is my second week as their GDT and the challenge is:
CARD FOR A TEENAGER.
I am of an age where my family has passed their teens, so I had to get my thinking cap on to come up with something suitable.
I hope you like my interpretation

I chose to go with a Digi Stamp as the main focal point. She is 'Winter Sophie' and I think she is cute.

My base 5 x 5 card as covered with a paper I have had so long in my stash I can't remember where it is from, sorry.

I used my circle nestabilitie die for the image and also the corners which I cut into quarters.

This is a double sided christmas paper with presents on one side and shades of green on the reverse.

Sophie has been coloured using Promarkers and a little Glamour Dust for her hat and boots.

I added a Happy Christmas Peel off plus Happy 13th Birthday.

I am sure some of you will have a teenager celebrating their birthday during December.

Do pop over to see what the ladies have created for you this week, we hope you will join us as we love to check out your blogs and leave you comments.

RECIPE

8 X 8 Scalloped Card Blank
Backing paper and the design in the centre are from - Flower Flies & Flutter Bugs CD
I have just got this fabulous CD from my friend Debs and if you click on the CD link it will take you to her online shop.
I cut another of the beautiful backing papers with my Grand Nesties Scalloped Circles and then used one of the toppers from the same CD.
A little Glamour Dust has been added to the centre flower for a bit of sparkle.
Burgundy Organaza Ribbon has been attached down the side and for my bow I used my latest present, a Bowmaker from my Sister. I am always complaining that I can't tie bows, so now my problem is solved.
A few Gems finish the card.
