Topper from Basic Grey - Mellow - Deciduous Collection

I am sure you will all know the song 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round An Old Oak Tree' so I incorporated a few trees amongst my design to fit this challenge.

Do pop over to see what the rest of my Teamies have been up to this week, stunning designs as always.

We hope you will join us again as there is a prize up for grabs for one lucky entrant.

Thanks for popping by today, I appreciate your comments.

Challenge 3 - Christmas Crackers

The challenge this week over at

Bah! Humbug

is called - Christmas Crackers

Quite a few people have struggled with this one including me, I haven't any stamps so I decided to visit my good friend - Crafty Ann - who has lots of fabulous Digi Stamps, including a Christmas Cracker.

I coloured the cracker using Copic's and added Glamour Dust for a little sparkle.

I cut the cracker out using Nestability Die Set No 10, added more sparkle on the embossed part before cutting a larger die from Holographic Card to mount it on.

The mottled dark green card is from my stock. A Merry Christmas Peel Off complete the card.

I hope the team at Bah Humbug like my interpretation on their theme.

Do pop over and see what the DT's have made and join in with them. One Christmas card a week should give you less to make in the run up to December 2011.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

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


CD SUNDAY

Our DT's have chosen the theme of

WATERS MEET for this weeks challenge, my DT card is shown below



My choice of CD this week is from Debs
called Waterside Watercolours - Winters Sleep
All the artwork on this CD is done by Debs Mum - Tina.

I printed one of the backing papers onto Pearlescent Card to make my base card.
The large Nestability Die is number 10 to which I added a Marianne Creatables Die, these are both new to me and I love them. They are so versatile so you will be seeing them again on future cards.
2 Swirls, again from Marianne Creatables range give a finishing touch.
The images have been printed onto Glossy Photo Paper.

Thanks to all who joined us last week, we enjoyed seeing your creations and leaving you comments.
All you have to do to take part is use something from a CD, a piece of paper, image, embellishment etc and say which CD you have used.
