CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning all my fellow bloggers, Sunday is here again which means time for our latest challenge over at CD SUNDAY

Thanks for all your entries in last week's challenge, quite a few of you submitted your entries very early which for us is lovely to see.

We are joined again this week by Chris - our Guest Designer for July and she has done us proud yet again, do pop over to her blog and leave comments.

Our chosen theme this week is

DREAM and my DT card is shown below.

I chose one of the many beautiful images from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams CD.

This is a CD you can look at over and over and realise you how much you first miss when using it.

The image and backing paper is from the 'Flight Section' of the CD and the image is printed onto Glossy Photo Paper, cut and matted onto a toning piece of blue card.

I attached the backing paper to a Navy A5 Landscape Card, rounding the corners with an XCut corner punch. Before adding the image I chose a piece of beautiful organza ribbon to wrap round the base card.

Petaloo flowers from my stash compliment the design and for a final finishing touch, Silver peel offs, Live, Love Dream have been added to the side.

We hope you will join us and share your 'DREAM', all we ask is that you use something from a CD in your design and say which it is you have used.

Do pop over to see the rest of my teamies creations this week, gorgeous as usual.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well, more to the point, hope Mr Blogger is to.
I am hoping that my scheduled post will work after all the trouble he has caused this week.
On to this weeks challenge over at CD SUNDAY
You have a choice as we the DT's couldn't decide on a theme and it ended up a tie.
So, your choices are
DIE CUTTING or YEEHAW
We still have the lovely Jen as our Guest Designer and I am sure she will have come up trumps again this week.
Onto my DT Card for this week, I chose Die Cutting and it is shown below

RECIPE:

8 x 8 Scalloped Card Blank (this is a first for me as I don't usually 'do' large cards)
Grand Nestie Labels 1
Paper from 'Essence of Nature' CD - Glenda Waterworth -Artylicious, now Chocolate Baroque
Lacy Square Nestie Die, using a different part of the same paper.
Marianne Creatables Die - LR0138 - paper from my stash
Marianne Creatables Die - LR0151 - navy card from my stash
Navy flower using a punch from my stash.

I was unsure if to distress the edges of the white card but decided I liked it as it was.

Do pop over to see the fabulous designs from my 'Teamies' and we hope you will join in with us as we love to visit your blogs and leave comments.
All we ask, is that you use something from a CD and say which CD you have used.

Here's hoping Mr Blogger posts this.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge

The challenge for the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge is called 'RECYCLE'. The image is one I saved from a birthday card received last year and liked it so much that I couldn't bear to throw it away. I knew that I would make it into another card eventually, so this is the result. The base card is A6 using Navy cardstock from my stash, then I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder to emboss onto Aqua Pearlised card. To complement the colours a Burgandy Organza was wrapped around the card before attaching with 3D Foam Pads the 'Recycled' Image. I am really pleased with how it has turned out.
