Get Well with SUE-B

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge from us at
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.

I look forward to seeing your creations for our challenge, just remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which CD you have used

Do take a moment to visit our blog as my fellow team members have some beautiful work to show you. Plus you may even pick up a new CD to add to your collection

At the Seaside with CD SUNDAY

OLA from Spain and welcome to CD SUNDAY
As I type my post it is 'RAINING'
so I suppose it serves me right for having a mini holiday whilst you are in the UK.
I hope that Mr Blogger behaves as my post is scheduled.

This week starts our fortnightly challenges so a new look for us and for you.
CAZ has chosen your challenge and it is
AT THE SEASIDE
so dig out your CD's and join in with us.

My DT Card is below and it is also for my BIL who happens to be on holiday when it is his birthday.



RECIPE

5 x 7 White Card for the base.
I have used Joanna Sheen Signature Dies for the bottom edge and lightly covered it with Pan Pastels
Both the main image and backing paper are from
which have been printed onto Matte Photo Paper
The collection is chose is Nautilus which is a lovely selection of Shells.
I added Gold Peel Offs of 2 shells and a bird down the side and coloured them using my
Spectrum Noir Markers

I hope you will join in with us, just remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us what CD you have used. We are a nosey lot and don't want to miss out on a CD we don't know about.

Take a moment to visit our blog to see the designs my fellow team mates are sharing with you, you won't be disapointed.

PRETTY IN PINK with CD SUNDAY

Good morning to you all and I wish you a Happy, Healthy New Year.

I have been struggling with my connection as I am out in Spain so apologies for not commenting on your entries for a few weeks.
We are changing the way we challenge you over at 
and if you have already been and had a look you will notice that we have a brand new header designed by our lovely SUE-B.
The team has been split into 2 groups and will take it in turn to host a challenge and we are delighted to announce the addition of WYNN to our team.
Welcome aboard Wynn, so pleased you accepted to be part of the team.

I have been given the honour of choosing your theme this week and I think it it will be an easier challenge for you all.
My choice is
PRETTY IN PINK



RECIPE

6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank
Pretty Pink Backing Paper from one of my Bearly Mine CD's
My main image is a new stamp from LOTV and I have used Spectrum Noirs to colour the image.
I cut the image using a Spellbinder Die and attached it using 3D Foam Tape.
The 'Friend' sentiment is from my stash out here and a few Pink Gems complete my design.

I look foward to seeing your interpretation of this weeks theme and hope I will be able to visit you and leave comments (internet permitting)

Do take a look at my fellow teams designs, they are beautiful as always and so different.
We still require you to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which CD you have used.

Now it is over to you, have fun and enjoy the New Year with us.

Pretty Pastels

Good morning all, this is unusual for me but I decided to add this card into a 'new to me' Blog Challenge



Recipe

which I had cut out using Centura Pearl Card.
I used Treasured Gold to edge to die.
The Stamp is Little Claire Designs - Cherish, Hugs Dream
I used my Spectrum Noir's to colour the image and added a few gold Gems for the centre of 
the flowers.
My finishing touch is two Heartfelt Creations Stamps and Dies - Striped Sun Kissed Fleur.
and the leaves are also Heartfelt Creations cut out when my friend visited.

I am entering this into
