CD Sunday Plus Challenge #170 - Hosted by Meg

 Good morning

Welcome to my blog.

Did you remember to put your clocks back?  Being an early riser, I welcome the daylight starting earlier in the day.

Today is the start of our next challenge over at CD Sunday Plus.  Recently I've been trying to use CD-roms from my collection that have had little use or haven't been used in a while.  As a friend is celebrating his 84th birthday, and is a lifelong Manchester United fan, I decided to re-visit one of my La Pashe cd's to make the following card from the 'Remember When' section.

 

It's a decoupaged card (still my favourite type of card making), and I couldn't resist adding the 2 little dogs.  I couldn't ever take my dog to a football match, even if it were allowed!  I have a 4 year old cocker spaniel who is my constant companion.  He's the softest dog you could ever meet, and would just be jumping up and be-friending everyone there!  He really does make all the hours I spend in the house so much better!

I hope you'll visit the challenge blog to see what my talented teamies have created and to enter our challenge.

House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #451 - Anything Goes with option of using Purple or Orange

 Hello

I've finally managed to make a card in time for the House-Mouse challenge!  I chose this adorable image from the Gruffies & Happy Hoppers cd-rom and added orange to the card:

I printed the image 3 times so I could turn it into decoupage.  The layers on the card were made with double-edge dies and the sentiment was made using Dimension stamps.  I edged the layers with distress ink as there wasn't room on the card to mat them!

This card is for my nephew who LOVES pizza!  I hope he likes it!

Thanks for visiting.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #169 - Hosted by Pamela

 Hello and welcome to my blog

We had a lovely cruise but since getting home have both come down with the horrid but that's doing the rounds so are going to need another holiday to recover!

It's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and this time Pamela is hosting.  Here is my card:

For my card I used a decoupage image from Crafters' Companion Tales of Jeremey Fisher cd-rom by Beatrix Potter.  I love all the Beatrix Potter stories, so nostalgic.

I die-cut the frame using Tear Drop & Sweep dies by Carnation Crafts.  I then used a woodgrain embossing folder which I used on it's side to represent water.

Margaret has sadly decided to leave the team at the end of this year.  I've enjoyed being on the team with Margaret and will miss her creations.

I hope to see you over on the challenge blog.
