CD Sunday Plus Challenge #172 - Hosted by Margaret

 Hello

Time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and this time Margaret will be hosting.  I used the Wine Buffs cd-rom by Katy Sue Designs to create this birthday card for my brother-in-law:

I selected a decoupage image which I matted onto cardstock cut using Teardrop and Sweep dies by Carnation crafts.  A few pearls were then added to complete the design.

It has been a stressful few weeks for our household as my youngest daughter has just bought her first home.  What we thought would be a very straightforward purchase turned out to be far from that, but I'm very relieved to say that the purchase finally completed on Friday, on my daughter's 25th birthday!  She is now busy doing some painting before she moves in.

I'm very proud of both of my girls, but it's going to be very strange neither of them living here anymore!  It will soon be just me, John and Bailey after 32 years of having our children live at home!  I'm very glad that neither of them will be living too far away.  

I hope to see you over on the challenge blog.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #171 - Hosted by Me

 Hello

I can't believe it's time for the next challenge over at CD Sunday Plus!  Where does the time go?

It's the Guide Dogs Christmas Fair on the 30th November and so I'm busy preparing for that.  It's always a lovely event that we all enjoy doing.

I've used some of my 'favourites' on my card for today, which is a birthday card for a friend who likes to go walking.    

The decoupage is from the Jolly Nation Men's cd-rom.  I love Jolly Nation images, I wish they'd done a cd-rom with the Children's artwork on.  The mats and layers are created using Carnation Crafts Teardrop and Sweep dies and the sentiment is stamped.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope to see you joining in with the challenge.
