Happy Birthday

Hello and welcome to my blog today.

I am addicted to making decoupaged flowers (which is a good job considering my new supply of tattered lace dies!). I hope I don't bore you with them!  This week I've used them to make a birthday card for a friend:

I used charisma and dies from the Autumn Allure range, additional dies from Tattered Lace and card blank and gingham card from Create & Craft.

I'm pleased to say my friend loved her card.

I would like to enter my card in the current challenge at CD Sunday Plus Challenge which this time is Anything Goes.

Thanks for any comments you leave, which I love to read.

Happy Anniversary

Hello

Welcome to my blog today.  I am delighted with my new printer, not least because it means I can join in the challenges at CD Sunday plus again.

This week I used dies and images from Tattered Lace Autumn Allure Collection - Fabulous Fall. Here is my card:

The silver mirror card and gingham card are from Create and Craft.  The decorative die is also from Tattered Lace and the sentiment is a Sue Wilson die.

Thanks for visiting.

It's a while since I've been able to enter my favourite challenge - CD Sunday Plus Challenge - as my printer wasn't working. I'm pleased to say it's now been replaced and so here is my entry into the current challenge:

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello and welcome to my blog

Today I would like to share with you the card I have created for the current CD Sunday Challenge:

My craft room isn't very accessible at the moment.  I desperately need more space so am currently crafting in my living room with limited supplies!  My printer is still accessible so I was able to print off a sheet of co-ordinating paper from a Creative Crafting World Perfect Companion cd-rom to die cut the Happy Birthday sentiment, using a Papercuts die from Creative Expressions. 

The patterned card and topper were from Kanban's Love your Pets kit.  I added some silver card for a mat and die cut the name from the same card using an x-cut alphabet die.

Thanks for stopping by.

Kimono - Happy Birthday

Hello

This is my entry into the latest challenge over at CD Sunday which is an anything goes challenge:

I used the Kimono cd from Crafters Companion and chose to decoupage the image.  I embossed some pink cardstock from PaperMill using one of the embossing folders from the same range,  I die-cut the images from the same cardstock using dies from the Kimono range.  I also used some silver mirror card for my mats.

Thanks for visiting my blog and for any comments you leave me.

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge.  A close friend of mine has a birthday this week and she loves flowers. This is the card I made her:

I used a 6 x 6 card base and silver, purple and white card.  I used harlequin dies from tattered lace to create my layers.  The fuchsia's were printed from My Craft Studio Garden Party fuchsia cd-rom.  The flowers in the bottom corner are from the My Craft Studio Autumn Allure collection.  The sentiment was die-cut using a Sue Wilson Creative Expressions die.

Thanks for visiting and for any comments you leave, I love reading them all.

CD Sunday - 9th Birthday

Hello

CD Sunday are celebrating their 9th Birthday.  I love this challenge as it encourages me to use my CD's.  As it's a special celebration, I've gone to town and made three cards using a different cd for each.  My first card used the BeBunni baby cd-rom from Crafters' Companion.  I've made an eclipse card to welcome a new baby:

I used Create and Craft Glitter Card for the mat and flowers.  Hunkydory large alphabet dies for the letters, Sue Wilson Dies for the flowers and pearls from my stash.

Here is the link to the challenge:

Happy Birthday CD Sunday.

Happy Birthday From House Mouse

I love the house mouse, happy hoppers and gruffies images, they never fail to make me smile and I think when they are decoupaged it really brings them to life.  Decoupage remains my favourite technique although I am finding it more difficult to do with the deterioration in my eyesight and the arthritis in my hands.  What joy!  This card I made for one of my daughters; friends.

The decoupage image was printed from the House-mouse decoupage cd-rom from Joanna Sheen.  I think the backing paper was printed from the same cd-rom but I forgot to make a note, sorry!

I used an 8 x 8 card blank and Lynda Chapman's kraft card for all my mats.

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

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes but must use an item from a cd-rom.

House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge - Anything Goes or All About The Weather

Thanks for visiting.

Thelwell - Happy Birthday Megan

My niece Megan has just celebrated her birthday.  She is a big horse lover and this is the card I made for her.  

Over at the CD Sunday Challenge Blog Meg is hosting the challenge which has a theme of 'Anything Goes using something from a craft cd'.  My card uses Crafters' Companions Thelwell cd-rom.

I made up one of the frame cards, which is also decoupaged.  I used a banner die also from crafters companion to create the bunting, and stamped the name using alphabet stamps from Dimension stamps.

Over at the Seize The Birthday Challenge they also have a theme of 'Anything Goes', I would like to enter my card in this challenge also.

Thanks for visiting.

CD Sunday Challenge Anything Goes

Hello and welcome to my blog today.

May I start by wishing all my visitors a happy and healthy New Year.

The first challenge of 2019 has begun over at the CD Sunday Challenge and the theme for this challenge is Anything Goes.  Here is my card:

I used The Big One cd-rom from La Pashe to create my card, the decoupaged images and backgrounds were printed from the Flippin' Men section,  I added the decoupage to acetate as you get both a front and back view of the images.

I used a Peel off sentiment, a sentiment from the decoupage sheet, peel off numbers and die cut letters to personalise the card.

Happy Crafting
