There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe

Good Morning

I'm back home now after a lovely few days stay at my sisters' house.  I saw both my sisters, mum and dad and almost all my nieces and nephews. 

The challenge over at The CD Sunday Challenge Blog this week is Nursery Rhymes.  Here is my card.

I love participating in the challenge as it gets me looking through all my cd-roms.  I really should use them more than I do, and this challenge gives me a kick start!!

This card uses a decoupage image and backing papers from the Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes cd-rom from crafters companion.  I think this is a lovely decoupage design and I decided not to embellish the card any further so as not to distract from the image.

I had a lovely surprise when I visited the challenge blog, I came first last week!!!  Thank you very much ladies, you've made my day.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

All Dressed Up With Places To Go

Good Evening

Welcome to my new followers, it's a pleasure to have you :D

What an improvement in the weather, so much so that Emma had sports day this afternoon for the first time in four years!  Luckily hubby was able to get the afternoon off and take me up to watch all the fun.  The children were brilliant, encouraging each other all the way.  Emma's team won, so needless to say she was delighted.

My card for today uses the Appley Dappley's Nursery Rhymes cd-rom from Crafters Companion.

I used a dark brown linen cardstock for the base card, and added backing paper printed from the cd-rom.  The spotty paper is also from the cd-rom and I used an EK Success border punch to add some interest.  The main image is decoupaged.  The sentiment is placed onto a spellbinders die-cut, cut from matching brown linen card.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafting For All Seasons - Furry Friends


Crafters Companion Challenge - One For The Boys

Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenge - Use punches
