CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 148 - Hosted by Margaret

Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus

This is our last challenge for 2024!  That year has certainly flown by!

Here is my card for this challenge:

For my card this time, I have used one of my much-older (and hardly used) cd-roms, A Walk In The Countryside From Creative Crafting World.  I used one of the pyramade images and the accompanying backing paper.  I die cut the frame around the backing paper using Teardrop & Sweep dies from Carnation Crafts.  The sentiment was die-cut using Paper Boutique dies.

It has been lovely visiting all your blogs and seeing all your wonderful creations again this year.  I hope you will continue to join in our challenge for a long time to come.

I wish you a very happy & peaceful Christmas and hope you get to enjoy some time with family and friends.  Also, every good wish for a very happy & healthy 2025.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 147 - Hosted by Me

 Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus and this time I am hosting.  I look forward to seeing your creations.

Here is my card for this challenge:

My card was made using Debbi Moore's Venetian cd-rom and the image is decoupaged.  I didn't want to detract from the lovely image on this card, so didn't add anything extra.  I simply placed the image on a fancy edged card blank.

Thanks for visiting.

House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge - Second Entry

 Hello again

This is my other entry into the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge:

Once again I used the Gruffies & Happy Hopper cd-rom from Joanna Sheen to make this easel card.  I printed the image multiple times so I could turn it into decoupage.  The backing paper is from the same cd-rom.

I made this card for a friend who loves pumpkins!

Thanks for visiting.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 144 - Hosted by Carol

 Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus

This is the birthday card I made for my daughter's recent birthday.

This card took a long time to make but I had such fun making it!  All the images are from Carnation Crafts garden safari, cut with the matching dies.

I used acetate to attach the fences.  I love the dog hiding behind the gate!  I made him as decoupage, and when the gate is closed, his nose peeps through!

The sentiments are all Carnation Crafts stamps.

Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you'll join our challenge.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 141 - Hosted by Me

 Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus and this time I have the pleasure of hosting.

It has been a busy month in my household.  My hubbie turned 60 this month and back in March I had the 'clever' idea of arranging a surprise 60th birthday party.  Some close friends and family agreed to help, so it was all systems go.

We somehow managed to keep it a surprise and had a really lovely day with lots of close family and friends.  Lots of special memories made.

My card for this challenge is a birthday card I made for my godson.  It was a challenge I can tell you!  Anyway, I got there in the end and this is the result.

I used Kraft card to create the card as it needed to be strong, eventually worked our the mechanism to make it move, and then added lots of images printed and cut using planes, trains and automobiles from Carnation Crafts Wonderful World Collection.

I'm pleased to say he loved his card and was very impressed with it.

I hope you'll be able to join our challenge this time, I look forward to visiting all your blogs!

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 140 - Hosted by Meg

 Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus and Meg is our host for this challenge.  Please do visit the challenge blog for details of how to enter.

For my card this challenge I used One Summer's Day cd-rom by Barbara Mock from Joanna Sheen.  Matted onto blue card from Creative Crafting World, the letters were die cut from the same card.  The image is decoupaged, although this doesn't shop up very well in the photo.

Thanks for visiting.

House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

 Good morning

I'm back from a lovely week away.  Yesterday was my hubbies 60th birthday.  We had lots of callers and our daughters came round for their tea.  I made his favourite cake - chocolate with galaxy melted on the top!  There are more celebrations planned for the weekend.

It was a friends birthday the other day, so I decided to use a house-mouse image for her card.  I hadn't made a shaker card in ages, and thought this image lent itself to a shaker card!

The image and backing paper are from Joanna Sheen's house-mouse cd-rom.  I cut an aperture into some purple card and again into the backing paper.  Sugar strands were added as the shaker element, then I created some little party hats from the backing paper and some streamers from a toning yellow paper.

I would like to enter my card into House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge - Anything goes with the option to add a butterfly.

Thanks for visiting!
