CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 128 - Hosted by Me

 Good morning and welcome to my blog

I'm very relieved that we are now in March.  February for us, was an extremely sad and difficult month.  

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus, we do hope you will join us.  Full details of how to enter can be found on the challenge blog.

Here is my card:

I revisited my rather neglected Popcorn Kids cd-rom by Crafter's Companion to produce this lovely decoupaged image.

The backing paper is by Docrafts from Forever Friends collection.

Sentiment die by Crafter's Companion

I'm progressing slowly but surely with my craft room sort-out!  I'm currently trying to sort my ribbons and wish I didn't have so many!!  I'll be so glad when it's all done, and I can find everything and just go in there and craft away!

I look forward to seeing you on the challenge blog.

A New Baby Girl

The current challenge over at CD Sunday is 'Something New'.  A relative of mine had a new baby recently and this is the card I have made for her:

The decoupage image and co-ordinating papers are all from the Popcorn Kids cd-rom from Crafters Companion.

I embossed some gold card using a Crafters Companion embossing folders and used this for all my matting.

I stamped and embossed the name and sentiment using versafine ink and then gold detail embossing powder.  I used the tonic tag dies that came free recently in Die-cutting essentials magazine (it's a fab set of dies that I can see I will get lots of use from).

I used pink ribbon from Create and Craft and pink pearls from Joanna Sheen.

I would also like to enter my card in the current Win & Tonic challenge - Take Your Pick - I went with the tag option.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

A New Arrival

Good Morning from a very dismal Manchester!

Today's card is made using the Popcorn Kids cd-rom from Crafters Companion.

I was really struggling to get started with this card, so had a look through the projects section of the cd. This is one of the projects listed, altered slightly. The sentiment is a LOTV stamp.

I had a lovely birthday yesterday. A big, big thank you to everyone for making my birthday so special. I had phone calls, visits, cards in the post, text messages, blog messages and forum messages. I feel very lucky to have so many kind people to share it with.

I also received some really lovely presents, including lots of new crafting goodies, so I can't wait to have a play!!!

For the whole of February (at least) I am going on a crafting diet, so no more craft buying for me. I am determined to start using all the lovely goodies that I've already got, so watch this space!!!!

Have a lovely day.
