CD Sunday Plus Challenge #182 - Hosted by Pamela

Hello and welcome to the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus.

A friend of ours is a very keen fisherman, and having recently retired is really getting time to enjoy his hobby.  This is the card I have made him for his birthday.

 I printed decoupage and backing paper from the Jolly Nation Men's cd-rom.  I love Jolly Nation and really wish they had released a cd with the Children's decoupage on too.  My supply is dwindling!

The mat that the image is sat on was die cut with Teardrop & Sweep dies from Carnation Crafts, another big favourite of mine!  The white and black card used are all from Lynda Chapman.

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 #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.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 99

 Good morning

Today I have my stall at the Christmas Fair in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind.  I've been creating for many months for this and hope it will boost my fundraising to name a Guide Dog Arthur after my late dad.  I'm excited and nervous in equal measure!

My health is not great, as I know it never will be, but my crafting continues to help me cope with the constant pain.  Raising funds at the same time is a real boost mentally too.  Long may it continue.

Today is the start of our new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and Jocelyn is our host for this challenge.

Here is my card:

I have used one of my all-time favourite cd's to create my card - Jolly Nation Men's cd - teamed with some lovely card from PaperMill, to create this easel card.  The main image is decoupaged and I used the additional images from the sheet to create the stopper.

Please do visit the challenge blog to see what my teamies have created, and I know they would love you to visit their own blogs too.

Hope to see you there!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 87 - Hosted by Me

 Good morning

Today see's a new challenge starting over at CD Sunday Plus and this time I have the pleasure of hosting.

I've recently been trying to sort and list all my cd and dvd-rom's and I hadn't realised just how many I had!

Jolly Nation have always been a favourite of mine and they have such a great choice of images to use.

This is a card I made for my cousin who goes running every day, so this decoupage was perfect for him!

I used backing paper from the same cd-rom (Jolly Nation Men's) and I computer generated the sentiment.

I hope to see you over on the challenge blog.

CD Sunday Challenge - Second Entry

Hi

Here is my second entry into the 'No Patterned Papers' challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge:

For this card I used a decoupaged image from the Jolly Nation Men's cd-rom.  I coloured the couples hair a different colour to match the hair colour of the couple I am sending it to!  The shape that the couple are sat on was created using a glitter girls embossing board.  I added tiny gems around the edges.

All the card used was from PaperMill and the sentiment was stamped using a Lili Of The Valley stamp.

Thanks for visiting.
