CD Sunday Plus Challenge #50 - Hosted by Me

Good Morning

Welcome to my blog today.

Today sees the start of our next challenge and this time I am our hostess.  This will be our last challenge for this year and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.

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:

The pattern was a download from Stitchingcards.com.  Deep red card from Hunkydory along with gold card which I embossed using a star design embossing folder. The design was stitched onto Centura Pearl card.

It's Taking Shape!

Hubby has started building my new craft room furniture and it's really starting to take shape now. Exciting!!

At The Bottom Of The Garden

 Hello and welcome

My card for today is made using one of the brilliant ranges from Carnation crafts and is for a friends birthday:

I used one of the dies in the set to create my card blank. I printed out a variety of the free vignettes that Carnation crafts generously provide,  then die cut and decoupaged the images before arranging them on my card.

I die cut the sentiment and it's mat using dies from Paper Boutique.

I would like to enter my card into the current challenge at Allsorts challenge  - my lovely garden.

Murphy

 I've just been updating my profile so decided this was the right time to write this post.

Two weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our crazy, adorable cocker spaniel Murphy. He was 15 1/2. He had a long and happy life with us, he was one of the family and put first in every decision we made. We got him when I became disabled and had to give up work.  Our house is very empty now.

Run free my sweet boy. You have left us with so many wonderful memories and your paw prints on our hearts for ever.
