CD Sunday Plus Challenge #188 - Hosted by Me

 Hello and welcome

On Thursday I am going on a weeks' Pilgrimage to Lourdes and so my view for the week will be the one that is my blog header.  I have been many times before and we always have a fabulous time.  There are 33 of us in the group this time, many, like me, have been before but we also have quite a few 'first timers'.  

Today we have a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and for this challenge, I am hosting.

Here is my inspiration.

For this card I used Carnation Crafts Dawn of Spring vignettes and dies, it's a really beautiful collection.

All the details of how to enter our challenge can be found over on the challenge blog.  I hope you'll be able to join us.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 143 - Hosted by Jocelyn

Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus and Jocelyn is hosting this challenge.

For my card today, I have used Teardrop and Sweep dies from Carnation Crafts for the mats and layers.  The flowers and decorative panels are cut using dies from Dawn of Spring collection.  The bride and groom are a Creative Expressions die and the sentiment is a Carnation Crafts stamp.

I do hope you'll join our challenge this fortnight.

 Good Morning

Thank you to everyone who visited my last post and left comments - I love to read them!

Can you believe it's the end of April?  The lighter mornings and evening are here and hopefully some warmer weather will follow very soon.

I recently treated myself to a beautiful new collection from Carnation Crafts called 'Dawn of Spring'.  I just couldn't resist this one!  This is the first card made with the collection, which is an Anniversary card for some friends:

I added lots of mats to my card and die-cut the pretty panels using dies from the set.  The artwork for the flowers is a free download from Carnation Crafts website, which I then die-cut and decoupaged.

Please do visit our challenge blog to see all the teams creations, and for full details of how you can join in the fun.

I look forward to seeing you there!
