CD SUNDAY - OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Hello and welcome to our latest challenge over at CD SUNDAY

The theme this week is chosen by Caz and she chose - Oh Christmas Tree

I am sorry that my DT card is a day late but we are now wintering in Spain and the connection wasn't good yesterday.

Last week we said goodbye to Pauline and we have joining us as our Guest Designer for December, 

 Lynn who  you may know as Linby. 

Lynn has been joining us regularary so the team decided to invite her to join us as we like her work.

As it is the first Sunday in the month we also have a Sponsor who is Jane - The Art of Craft

Jane is offering a voucher to spend in her shop for one lucky person, however to be in with a chance of winning the prize you MUST use something from a CD and tell us which CD you have used.

My DT Card is shown below

The image and backing paper is taken

 from Thomas Kincade CD - Christmas

Printed onto Matt paper and added Mirri Board to matt the topper

A few punched flowers from the same Mirri Card and a sentiment from my stash complete the design.

 I hope you will join us this week, especially as there is a chance of a prize.#

Do pop over to see my fellow teams creations and also visit Lynn.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning to you all, hope you have been enjoying the lovely weather of the last few days. It certainly feels like spring here.

Thanks for joining in last weeks challenge, we enjoyed visiting your blogs and leaving comments.

So, over at CD SUNDAY this week we are asking you to think about

A SONG IN MY HEART

As usual our DT & GDT have beautiful designs to show you.

It is the second week for our Guest Designer Claire and she has another lovely creation to share with you

My DT card is shown below

I chose to go with a beautiful song from the Patience Strong CD1 from Joanna Sheen

It has been printed onto Pearlescent Card and then layered onto Purple Card from my stash.

The main card is also Pearlescent and I used my 'Hougie Board' to score a few lines both down and across for dimension.

Punched flowers complete with Brads and a few Gems add the finishing touch

I am not sure if you can read the song, so hear it is below:

If the heart is Singing, you cannot go far wrong, For you will discover, there's magic in a song, That scares away the demons, that throng around us all, Wanting us to stumble, and to see us fall, If the heart is singing, nothing can get through, Only that which strengthens, and what is best for you.

We hope you will join us again this week, just remember to use something from a CD in your design and say which it is you have used.

Next week we have something special happening on our blog, so watch this space, as they say!!

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Best Friends

Good morning fellow bloggers, it is Thursday again which of course means time for the latest challenge from Rainbow Lady which today is BEST FRIENDS

This week we, the DT's have been given lovely digi images to work with from our Sponsor
Chi Chi Memories

Here is my DT card

This super image has been printed onto pearlescent card which I had cut using a Nestie Die.
The edges of the die have been distressed using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
I coloured using my Promarkers, thanks to Chi Chi I am beginning to feel more comfortable using these.
My backing paper is from Pink Petticoat - Vintage Rose Collection, this beautiful pad came free with one of the magazines I subscribe to.
To complete the card I punched our several sizes of flowers and added pink gems to the centres.

We hope you will join us again this week, we look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comments.

Challenge 35 - Birthday

Good evening all, on a roll today. As football is on tv tonight I decided I would join in with my good friend Ann's challenge, which is 'BIRTHDAY'
Ann's challenge finishes at midday tomorrow, so just made it in time.

RECIPE

Pearlescent 5 x 5 Card
Backing Paper from Basic Grey - Porcelain Pad
Marianne Die cut using pearlescent card from my stash, I can't remember who I got it from other than it was at the NEC last year.
Happy Birthday Sentiment bought from Sincerely Yours Craft Show earlier this year.
Flowers made from punches using the same backing paper to which I added a Gold Pearl.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate any comments you might like to leave.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE 12

Good morning to my blogging friends.
It is Sunday which means another challenge from
CD SUNDAY

The theme for this week is KIND THOUGHTS
We have some lovely cards from our Design Team, so do pop over and take a look

For my card I chose to use 'IN OTHER WORDS' CD from Joanna Sheen.

RECIPE

Pearlescent Gold Card on which my backing paper has been printed, I do think this sort of card gives a beautiful effect.
For the topper I used Glossy Photo Paper and chose a beautiful sentiment to complement my card. This has been layered onto card from my stash which has a lovely pattern and again is pearlescent.

My Kind Thoughts topper was done using my computer, punched flowers in matching paper and a beautiful Tassle adds the finishing touch.

Your card or project must contain something from a CD, maybe a piece of backing paper, topper or embellishment

I hope you will join us this week and we look forward to seeing your designs
