CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 92 - Hosted by Me

 Hello!

I can't believe it's already time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and this challenge I have the pleasure of hosting.

My card for this challenge uses images from Pollyanna Pickering's African Safari cd-rom from Creative Crafting World.

My card is made following a tutuorial by Lisa Bird.   Cardstock is Woodstock card also from Creative Crafting World.

I have just returned from a week in Lourdes where my view for the week was the image on my header.  We had a lovely week together which included a lot of laughter.  It was just what I needed!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 89 - Hosted by Jocelyn

 Good morning

Well the weeks are certainly flying by and it's time for our new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus.  As always, we would love you to join us.

Here is my card for the new challenge:

I love daisies and gerbera's so when Carnation Crafts released this range, it really was a 'no brainer' for me.

All the cardstock, backing paper and vignettes are printed from the Carnation Crafts Summer Daze collection.  The beautiful sentiment is die-cut using a Crafters' Companion die.

I hope to see your cards on our challenge blog.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 88 Hosted by Margaret

 Good morning

I hope you're enjoying the good weather, it makes me feel so much better when the sun shines.  I'm enjoying it being light from early in the morning!

Our new challenge at CD Sunday Plus starts today and this time is hosted by the lovely Margaret.  As always, the challenge is anything goes as long as something digital has been used on your creation - you must tell us in your post the source of your digital item.  Please check out the blog for full details.

Here is my card for this challenge:

I used an image from Crafters Companion 'Kimono' cd-rom, which I decoupaged.  I used Lynda Chapman's nesting dies to cut the square.  I die-cut the alphabet lettering from Lynda's famous black card.  I had bought Sophie some earrings and a necklace which I then attached to the card in such a way that she could remove it without damaging the card.

I really enjoyed making this card and am looking forward to seeing what you make.

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 Plus Challenge # 86 - Hosted by Pamela

 Good morning

Today see's the start of our new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus,  I do hope you'll be able to join us.

My card today was for my daughter's to send to my sister for her 50th birthday.  I used artwork from the fabulous Pollyanna Pickering Snow and Ice dvd-rom, along with accompanying backing papers.  Dies from Creative Crafting World and Cardstock from PaperMill.  The sentiment dies are Crafters' Companion.

This is quite a different style card for me, it challenge my cutting a little but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Please visit the challenge blog for full details of how to join in, and while you're there, why not pop over to visit my teamies blogs too, I know they'd appreciate it.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 85 - Hosted by Carol

Good morning

It's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and as always our theme is 'Anything Goes' as long as a digital element has been used.

For this challenge I have made a birthday card using dies and vignettes from Carnation Crafts.

 I embossed the background using my favourite embossing folder.  The stamp is from JustRite and I inked round the edges to tone in with the decoupage.

Bailey is now 13 months old and still bringing us so much joy,  Here is a recent photo for those of you who like to see him.  He's never far from my side!

I hope you'll be able to join our challenge.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 84 - Hosted by Jocelyn

Good morning

Today is the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and we hope you will join us.

Jocelyn is our hostess for this challenge.

 This is a card made for a friend who has been very poorly with Covid.  I made a matching envelope for the card and am pleased to say she loved it.  I'm even more pleased to know she is now on the mend.

For my card I used an A5 card blank.  The lace is created using a Tattered Lace die from the Crown Floral Delights collection.  The flowers are using charisma from the accompanying cd-rom and then die-cut.

I had my doubts as to whether this collection would ever arrive, but am delighted it finally did as it really is a stunning collection.

Thanks for a visiting!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 83 - Hosted by Margaret

 Hello and a very warm welcome,

Today a new challenge starts over on CD Sunday Plus and we love to see all your cards.

Today I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend.  She doesn't like fussy cards and I must admit, keeping it simple proved quite a challenge!

I used a 7 x 5 card blank from Creative Crafting World onto which I matted some pale green pearlescent card.  I die cut the pretty trellis into some Centura Pearl Card and added pearls.  The agapanthus is from Carnation Crafts, as is the matching artwork.  You can't really tell from the picture, but the flower is decoupaged.

Please do pay the Challenge blog a visit to see full details of how to enter our challenge, and also to see my teamies fabulous makes.

Thanks for stopping by!

 Good morning

Today see's the start of our new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus.  Thanks for everyone who commented on my last card and for all the lovely comments about Bailey.

I don't know about you, but I'm even more glad of my hobby at the moment.  The world's a very stressful place and I find it a relief to sit in my craftroom with some music playing and my puppy at me feet.

Here is my card for today:

I recently bought a kit from CraftsUPrint that included this lovely card kit.  The image is decoupaged and I love the wording.  I printed it all onto fabriano paper from Creative Crafting World.

Bailey was one yesterday!  How quickly the time has passed, it's hard to believe.  Below is a photo of the day we got him and one taken this week.  He's pure joy!

I hope you'll be able to join in our challenge, we all love to see your cards.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 81 - Hosted by Pamela

 

Good morning

Today see's the start of our new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus and this time it's Pamela's turns to host.

Next Sunday is Mothers' Day here is the UK.  Sadly, my mum is no longer with us, but she was a great inspiration behind my crafting.  I'm still fundraising for Guide Dogs so enjoyed making a few Mothers' Day cards to sell towards my target.

This is one of those cards, made using the Oasis Floral Collection from Tattered Lace.  This is such a pretty collection.

The flowers and backing paper were all printed from the cd-rom.  The flowers are all raised using foam pads.

The Kraft card is Lynda Chapman's and the teal blue card is from the Woodstock collection, again from Creative Crafting World.

Please do visit the challenge page to see my teamies makes, and I do hope you'll be able to join in with our challenge.

I hope all you mum's have a lovely time next Sunday.  I'll be having afternoon tea with my daughter's and husband.  This is something my eldest daughter makes for me each year and I really look forward to.  My youngest will be home from Uni, so I'll be a very happy mum!

I know many of you enjoy seeing photos of Bailey, so today I'm sharing a photo of him watching Create and Craft!
