CD Sunday Plus Challenge #121

 Good Morning

A very warm welcome to my blog today.  It's lovely to be back joining in again.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me Get Well messages over the last few months.  It was a close call and really quite frightening, but thanks to the excellent care from the doctors and nurses at my local hospital, the love, care and support of my amazing family and friends, I'm (hopefully) on the right side now.  I'm still battling one chest infection after another, and they've told me my recovery will take up to 12 months, but I'll get there!

I want to thank my fabulous teamies at Cd Sunday Plus for supporting me and being so patient with me, it's a wonderful team to be a part of.

The card I am sharing with you today is a very special one.  My eldest daughter has just turned 30 (which I find hard to believe), and this is the card I made for her:

I used the Paper Pantry Volume V1, It's A Dog's Life collection, from Creative Crafting World.  This is one of my favourite and most used collections.  All the card used was also from Creative Crafting World and I used a selection of dies from CCW, Crafters' Companion and Carnation Crafts.

Thanks for joining me today..  Please leave me a comment so that I know you've been!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge 59

 Good Morning

Welcome to my blog today

Today sees the start of our next challenge and this time Jocelyn is 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 a pattern downloaded from Stitchingcards.com, matted onto green and purple card from PaperMill and finished with a co-ordinating ribbon.

Cuties In Booties

Hello

Welcome to my blog.

I was thrilled to learn one of my recent cards had been picked as the winner of a CD Sunday Challenge.

My card for today has been sent to a friend to let her know I'm thinking of her. I used one of the gorgeous images from my Bree Merryn 'Cuties In Booties' cd-rom. This is another cd I haven't used nearly enough!!

I used various elements from the cd-rom and silver mirror board for my mats and layers. Finally, I stamped a greeting.

I would like to enter my card into the current challenge at cd-sunday-plus-challenge which is Anything Goes.

I'm hoping that I may be able to move into my new craftroom before too long. I've got so many craft purchases I haven't been able to use yet, I'm hoping that it will all entice me back to more regular crafting!

Happy 80th Birthday

Hello and welcome to my blog today.

I hope you are staying safe and well during these scary times.  I am find it difficult to have any kind of routine, which is down to my illness as well as the pandemic. Some days it is difficult to find the motivation to do anything!  Anyway, enough of my complaining!

This card I made for a friend who turned 80 yesterday. I used Tattered Lace Picture Decoupage usb and dies to create the card. The cardstock was from Lynda Chapman and the sentiment cut with dies from Crafters Companion. I layered the decoupage with varying depths of foam pads.

I would like to enter my card into the current challenge at CD Sunday Plus.

Stay safe everyone and please leave me a comment so I know you've been.

Happy Birthday Captain Tom

Hello

I saw a request early in April asking if cardmakers would send a birthday card to Captain Tom. This is the card I sent him:

The decoupaged image and backing paper were downloaded from Tattered Lace. The die used to cut the decoupage came free with April's Tattered Lace magazine.

The Happy Birthday edge was cut using a Crafters Companion die.  The numbers were cut using a die from The Works and his name using Memory Box alphabet die.

I would like to enter my card into the cuurent challenge at CD Sunday Plus which is anything goes.

Thanks for visiting!

Miss You

Hello

I've been making cards to send to friends and family just to say hello during this difficult period. This is a card I send to my sister using decoupage and downloads from Tattered Lace:

I'm really pleased with how this came out, and even remembered to make a stand which I sent with the card.

I'd like to enter this in the current  challenge at CD Sunday Plus which is anything goes.

Thanks for stopping by.
