CD Sunday Plus Challenge #56 - Hosted By Me

 Good Morning

Welcome to my blog today

Today sees the start of our next challenge and this time I am 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 have used the Bree Merryn Precious Pups cd-rom from My Craft Studio for the border collie image and backing papers.  I used Lynda Chapman's Black card and Kraft card and dies from Paper Boutique at Creative Crafting World.

Be Like The Sunflower

Hello

I love Sunflowers.  They are such beautiful, cheery flowers.  So when Creative Crafting World brought out their Sunflower Song collection, I just couldn't resist.

I wanted to send a card to my sister, hopefully to cheer her up a little after the awful time we've been having lately, and this seemed the perfect sentiment.

I used one of Lynda Chapman's 8 x 8 card blanks.  Chocolate brown and dark green cardstock was used for the mats and the die.  The die is a Paper Boutique die called It's Time To Celebrate, isn't it gorgeous?  Both the beautiful backing papers came from the paper kit along with the topper.  The pearls and the ribbon were from my stash.

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

Creative Crafting World Blog Challenge - Anything Goes - must use at least one product from Creative Crafting World (Ends 14th April)

Thanks for visiting,

J is for January

Hello and welcome to my blog today.  Happy New Year.  I know I'm a bit late wishing this but I've had some very sad news over the Christmas period.  Sadly, my dad passed away on Boxing Day.  I lost my mum almost 5 years ago so this really is the end of an era for me, my sister and our families.

When I feel up to it, I;m trying to lose myself in some crafting.  I turned to CD Sunday Challenge for some inspiration and was delighted to learn that I had won their Christmas Present challenge.  The theme for the latest challenge is' J is for ...... ' Here is my creation:

I went with J is for January.

This is a calendar that I have made to send to my sister.  I used the latest Paper Boutique dies from Creative Crafting World to create the shape of my calendar. and also to cut the beautiful decorative frame.  Can I just say that these are gorgeous dies and they cut like a dream.  The backing papers and Polar Bear image are from Creative Crafting World.  These are from the Paper Kit that came with the Pollyanna Pickering Sketch Book Chapter VI - The Frozen Lands,

I created an easel card and added the calendar tab to the base, this also acts as the stopper.  I added some pretty mother-of-pearl floral gems to the decorative frame to complete my calendar.

Thank you for visiting.
