CD Sunday Plus Challenge #42 - Hosted by Jocelyn

Good Morning

Welcome to my blog today.

Today sees the start of our next challenge and this time Jocelyn is our hostess. Our theme is Anything Goes - as well as following the theme of the challenge, a CD, USB or Digital images, or any combination thereof, must have been used somewhere in the making of the card or project. It doesn’t have to be the whole card but it can be. It can be as small as perhaps a sentiment or a piece of backing paper- but there has to be some CD, USB or Digital source content somewhere together with everything else you have used. THE SOURCE MUST BE NAMED AND CREDITED.

Here is my card:

I used ATC Assistant from Joanna Sheen for the backing paper and Gruffies and Happy Hoppers cd-rom, also from Joanna Sheen, to create the decoupage in the corner.

I used silver mirror card and blue glitter card, both from Create & Craft for my mats and layers.  The name was die cut using Hunkydory dies and the '21 today' using Carnation Crafts dies.  The musical embellishment across the top of the card was die cut with a Crafters' Companion die.

If you don’t have a blog you may still enter by sending your entry via email using the address shown in the right-hand sidebar on the challenge blog, or by posting a photo of your entry to the new Facebook page - The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.
Please add your photo as a reply to today’s current challenge announcement otherwise not all of the Design Team may be able to see it and… pretty please… remember to tell us which CD, USB or Digital source that you have used - and please remember that our Privacy Policy Statement is now in the Sidebar on the challenge blog page.

Please leave a comment so I know you've visited (they really do make my day!) and I'm sure my teamies would appreciate a visit too - their details can be found in the right-hand sidebar.

I look forward to seeing your creations.

Music To My Ears

I was asked to make a 40th birthday card for a lady who is a piano teacher and a member of a choir.  Here is what I came up with:

8 x 8 card blank

Music score backing paper and choir boys from Joanna Sheens ATC Assistant cd-roms.  The choir boys are decoupaged.

Central image from Joanna Sheens Dances With Shadows cd-rom, sat on a decorative oval cut using a Marianne die.

I tied a double ribbon on my bowdabra using ribbons from my stash.

I wanted to make this card a bit more special, so created a pop-up piano for inside the card:

Sentiment computed generated.

Martha Stewart punch around the page, French Scroll

My card is for the following challenges:

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards - Rock On

Challenges4Everybody - Anything Goes

Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes

An Elegant Lady

Good Afternoon

I thought I'd share another calendar with you today, I hope you're not fed up of seeing them!

This is made using Joanna Sheen's ATC cd-rom, this was one of the first craft cd's I ever bought.  The backing papers are also printed from the cd-rom.  I decided on an easel style again as I think they display really nicely.  I used brown and gold cardstock for the matting and layering.  The calendar is sat on a mat cut using a Marianne die.  The butterfly is also a Marianne die with some pearls in the centre.  The roses and leaves are once again a Marianne die.

My calendar is for the following challenges:

Flutterby Wednesday's - Open plus fairy, butterfly or angel.

Dream Valley Challenges - Anything Goes

One Stitch At A Time - Use 3 embellishments

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Photo Inspiration

Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Goes

Have a lovely evening.
