CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 81 - Hosted by Pamela

 

Good morning

Today see's the start of our new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and this time it's Pamela's turns to host.

Next Sunday is Mothers' Day here is the UK.  Sadly, my mum is no longer with us, but she was a great inspiration behind my crafting.  I'm still fundraising for Guide Dogs so enjoyed making a few Mothers' Day cards to sell towards my target.

This is one of those cards, made using the Oasis Floral Collection from Tattered Lace.  This is such a pretty collection.

The flowers and backing paper were all printed from the cd-rom.  The flowers are all raised using foam pads.

The Kraft card is Lynda Chapman's and the teal blue card is from the Woodstock collection, again from Creative Crafting World.

Please do visit the challenge page to see my teamies makes, and I do hope you'll be able to join in with our challenge.

I hope all you mum's have a lovely time next Sunday.  I'll be having afternoon tea with my daughter's and husband.  This is something my eldest daughter makes for me each year and I really look forward to.  My youngest will be home from Uni, so I'll be a very happy mum!

I know many of you enjoy seeing photos of Bailey, so today I'm sharing a photo of him watching Create and Craft!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 80 - Hosted by Carol

 \Good Morning

I hope this finds you well.

I find January and February difficult months and am always relieved when we get to March.  Bailey has certainly helped me get through these difficult months and has kept a smile on my face.

With all that's going on in the world at the moment I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds crafting a great distraction.

My new craftroom (now named the Bermuda Triangle!) is my little haven.  I have Alexa playing my favourite music, Bailey at my feet (usually waiting for me to drop something so he can run away with it!), and I can be as messy and creative as I want as I can just shut the door on the mess!  What's not to love!!

Anyway, enough waffle from me!

Today, we start a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and, as always, our theme is Anything Goes as long as our rules have been followed.  Please click on the link and refer to the challenge blog for full details.

Here is my card:

All the papers, sentiments and coloured card are from 'Summer In Provence' from Paper Boutique.  They are on the Paper Pantry USB Vol.1.  This is one of my favourite collections.

I've never made this style of card before, and I followed the tutorial my the fabulous Lisa Bird which can be found HERE.  Huge thanks to Lisa for the fab tutorial which was so detailed and easy to follow.  I'll be making more of these!

For those of you who like to see him, here's a photo of Bailey who's pinched my chair yet again!  He's 11 months old now and sheer joy!

Thanks for sticking with my post to the end,  I do hope to see you on our challenge blog.

Now I'm off to do today's Wordle!

Take care
