It's Not How Many Goals You Reach

Hello

This is my second entry into the current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge which has a theme of Anything Goes:

I used my very neglected Strawberry Kisses cd-rom and stamps from Crafters Companion to create my card.

The backing paper is from Strawberry Kisses cd-rom.  The main image is a strawberry kisses stamp,  The plant pot has been paper-pieced and the rest of the image coloured using promarkers.  The sentiment stamp is from Joanna Sheen.

Thanks for visiting.

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes - Happy 21st Birthday

Hello and Welcome to my blog.

A new challenge has started over at CD Sunday Challenge and this time the theme is Anything Goes.  I used items from Crafters Companion Kimono range to create my card:

I used an 8 x 8 card base and covered it with this pretty backing paper printed from the Kimono      cd-rom.  I embossed the teal Co-ordinations card using a Kimono embossing folder.  The main image is printed from the cd-rom and decoupaged.  The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley stamp sat on a Spellbinders die-cut.  All the other dies are from Crafters Companion and each has had enamelling magic added to them.

Thanks for visiting and for any comments you leave, I read each and every one.

Happy Birthday Grandad

Hello and welcome to my blog today.  Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge and the theme for this challenge is 'A Gardener's World'.  Here is my card:

I used a decoupaged image and sentiment from Katy Sue designs.  The bunting is a die from Crafters' Companion as is the trellis.  I needed a green for my lettering and leaves that would tie in with the main image, so printed this from Creative Crafting Worlds Perfect Papercrafting Companions cd.  The lilac for the flowers on the trellis was also printed from the same cd.  This is such a useful cd to have, I can't recommend it highly enough.

This is the inside of the card.  I coloured the letters using promarkers.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

CD Sunday Challenge - Things To Eat - Second Entry

Hello

I hope that you are coping with this very hot weather.

This is my second entry into the current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge which has a theme of 'Things to Eat' chosen by Jane.

For this card I used my Pollyanna Pickering 'The Story Continues' cd-rom, and chose to use an image from Chapter One - the gorgeous Great Tit.  I printed off the beautifully patterned insert which I trimmed down to use on the front of my card.  I matted this onto black card, then gold linen card.  I printed off the decorative border from the same cd and stamped the sentiment using stamps from Lili of the Valley.  The remainder of the insert was used on the inside of my card.

This is such a beautiful image painted by a wonderfully talented lady who is very sadly missed.

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I really do appreciate every comment which is left.
