Cuties In Booties - For A Challenge

Hello and welcome

One of my favourite artists is Bree Merryn.  I have a number of cd-roms featuring her artwork and I am eagerly awaiting the latest Christmas cd-rom from Creative Crafting World.

I wanted to make a card to send to a friend who isn't very well at the moment.  This is what I came up with:

I used the 'Cuties In Booties' cd-rom, from My Craft Studio.  I created a 6 x 6 card using a fancy edged card blank from my stash.  I used Lynda Chapman's Kraft card for all the mats, and printed everything onto CCW's Fabriano digital paper.  I raised the layers using foam pads and finished with some gems from my stash.

I would like to enter my card into the current challenge at Allsorts challenge which has a theme of 'So Cute'.

Thanks for visiting.

Father's Day

Happy Sunday

This is the card I made for my daughter's to send to my husband;

The image was printed from MCS fun and frolics cd-rom, onto Fabriano paper from Creative Crafting World.  The 8 x 8 card blank and all the card used was from CCW as was the backing paper. I die cut DAD using dies from Hunkydory and added the letters using foam pads.

Thanks for visiting, if you've time, I'd love you to leave me a comment.

A note to say ...

This card I made for a friend to say I'm thinking of them:

I used a landscape card from Creative Crafting World for my base.  The image and backing paper was printed from A Bree Merryn My Crafts Studio cd-rom (Precious Pups).  I used Lynda Chapman's Black and Kraft Card for all my mats and layers and the border die is a Paper Boutique die.  The sentiment and paw prints were stamped using Vintage Sepia Versamark ink and free stamps from a magazine.

I was really pleased with how this card turned out!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #38 - Hosted By Carol

Good Morning

Welcome to my blog today.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me to my new role as Design Team member.  I've enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing all your beautiful creations.

Today sees the start of our next challenge and this time Carol 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 used Beatrix Potters' Jemima Puddle-Duck cd-rom from Crafters' Companion to make my card.  The decoupage, backing papers and insert are all printed from the cd-rom.  I used an 8 x 8vcream card blank from Joanna Sheen, yellow card from PaperMill and gems from my stash.  The lettering was cut using dies also from Crafters' Companion.

Here is the inside:

If you don’t have a blog you may still enter by sending your entry via email using the address shown in the right-hand sidebar on the chalenge blog, or by posting a photo of your entry to the new Facebook page - The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.
Please add your photo as a reply to today’s current challenge announcement otherwise not all of the Design Team may be able to see it and… pretty please… remember to tell us which CD, USB or Digital source that you have used - and please remember that our Privacy Policy Statement is now in the Sidebar on the challenge blog page.

Please leave a comment so I know you've visited (they really do make my day!) and I'm sure my teamies would appreciate a visit too - their details can be found in the right-hand sidebar.

I look forward to seeing your creations.

Happy Anniversary

Hello

Today is my sister-in-law's Wedding Anniversary.  This is the card I have made for her:

I used Paper Boutique 'Love Conquers All' die set to create my card base and mat layer.  I printed the backing paper and flowers onto Fabriano paper from Creative Crafting World.  The flowers were created using Vignettes and dies from the Summer Daze collection from Carnation Crafts.  I decoupaged the flowers using foam pads.  The sentiment is a Sue Wilson die.

My new craft room is progressing slowly but surely.  I thought the idea of having an empty room to plan as I wished would make things easier, but I'm actually finding it all a bit mind blowing!  I'm very much looking forward to it all being finished and being able to use all my supplies.

Have a lovely weekend.

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.

Wishing You Well

Hello

Happy VE day. I hope you have an enjoyable day today and have some activities planned. A bit of a challenge I know while trying to stay safe, but we seem to be good at rising to challenges.

The card I am sharing today is one I made for my uncle so he knows we're thinking of him:

I made the card using elements from the Sweet Design British Wildlife kit from Create and Craft which I've noticed is on a show today.  I just added a 7 x 5 card blank and some gold mirri card to complete my card.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

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!
