Kimono

Good morning all, a mixed bag of weather this week but that didn't stop you sending in some fabulous cards.
This week the challenge is Kimono chosen by Caz, so get your thinking caps on and show us your oriental delights. 
Just like to wish our puple crazy Wendy a very happy birthday
We have fabulous cards
 from out guest designer Wynn, and the rest of the design team so i'm sure you will have plenty to get you thinking.
For my card i have used M C S's Magical metallic's cd1 for the backing paper and i'm thinking it was oriental dreams for the image.

Fine Plumage

What fabulous weather we are having at the moment, i do hope that you have all been able to take advantage of  it.
Last week we saw the first card from our guest designer Wynn, beautiful yes and this week she has another for you, I think our weather this week could rival that of Cyprus and many other holiday destinations .
Lovely cards again last week so do check back on the blog later in the week to see who made the top three.
This week we have Fine Plumage and i have already seen what will be coming up on the blog, great inspiration for you.
For my card i have used My Craft Studio's Magical mystical Metallics, i love the papers on this CD. The image is one i found on the net and have looking for reason to use it . I have made an 8 x 8 card , cut out a mat and lightly inked the edges with Tim Holtz ink pad, on the image i have clear embossed the face and feathers and added some stickles to the feathers , finished off with card candy and a ribbon.
I look forward to seeing what you come with for this challenge and please remember to use something from a CD and give it credit in your write up.

Aged to perfection

Good morning all, and I do hope it's going to be a good day.
This our guest designers last week with us and I would like to thank Gloria (misty's mum) for the brilliant job and cards she has created for us this month, Thank you Gloria and I'm sure we will be asking you back at a later date.
This week it is choice and the challenge is " Aged to Perfection ". Now I have gone down the obvious road but there is a lot of scope for this challenge as you can see from the design teams creations, it could be wine , a majestic tree etc. I do look forward to seeing just what you can include for the theme. 
For my card, and this has been made for my friend who has just hit 60, I have made an easel card and the CD's I have used are My Craft Studio's Magical Metallics and M.C.S  A very important date. So the backing paper is from two CD's but the image is one i found on the net and thought it suited my friend who has a good sense of  humour. I have added some green pearls a small bow and the tea cups are also from " A very important Date " and we have shared many a cup of that together.

Ornate blossom

This weeks challenge at Cd Sunday is Ornate Blossom and has been chosen by Christine.
For my card i have used a My craft studio CD called Floriography Cd 2. I do tend to use this CD a lot for the lovely papers that are so easy to mix and match with so many things.
I have used a backing paper and matching topper from the CD and the topper has been mounted on a lilac card, added a whit ribbon and four glass flowers to the corners, the verse is one from William Shakespeare that i like very much. The flowers are not to deep so should be able to go into the post as normal.

Bundle of joy

What a week of weather we have had, our village was cut off by the snow on friday, but we have such good neighbours, all the local farmers have been out on tractors with ploughs to keep us up and running, poor Ray returning home was greeted by police at the top of the lane to be told no way through, he thought he was going to have to walk a mile and half to get home. Luckily some the ploughs had come through the back lanes so he was able to drive home.
Back to the matter in hand, last week we had wonderful wings and your entries where lovely, so thank you all, i look forward to seeing who will get the top spot, so do check on wednesday, it could be you.
This week it is my turn to pick a theme for you and i have chosen Bundle of Joy, i know the obvious choice would be baby, but it could be a kitten or puppy.
We still have the lovely Marina with us and once again she has given us a lovely card as have all our ladies.
for my card i used Polka doodles, candy doodles collection Cd. I have used 6x6 white card , printed out the backing paper and topper and the word baby, the topper is mounted onto white card edged with pink, added a polka dot ribbon and buttons. 
i hope you can all join in with again this week and i look forward to seeing your work.

CD Sunday challenge ..Wonderful wings

What a week for changing weather this has been, talk about blowing hot and cold.
Last week Carol ask you for Land of the pharaohs and you came up with creative and imaginative cards so she will have her work cut out to select one winner from the lovely entries.
This week it is Jenny's turn to pick and she has chosen Wonderful Wings and after looking at the Teams cards i'm sure you will have plenty of ideas running through your head.

I have used a 6x6 scalloped edge card, the backing paper is from the Cd, the image is mounted to blue card and the sentiment was made using the same card. Only the sentiment is raised so should prove no problem with posting.
I hope you all enjoy this weeks challenge, i certainly did, trying to decide what type of wings i wanted to use.

I have been out of action for a few days but last time i was looking at Kevin's lovely cards and he had just entered his favorite 5 cards into a challenge at debby4000 . I have just been reminded of the challenge after visiting  Wendy at crafting purple crazy, so i thought i would take a look and have a go, and here is my selection below. Now i have picked these five not because i think they are my best, but because each one is more or less a first try at doing a different style or technique.  Hope you like them.

So be sure to look in on there blogs and leave a kind word or two.
My card this week has been made using the Rachelle Anne Miller Collection CD and all papers and toppers are from it, the main image i have decoupaged and made an easel card.
Please be sure to tell us what Cd you have used when entering your creation, and it only has to be a small item, you don't have to make everything using a Cd and it can be a scrap page decorated box , book mark , what ever you want.
Now some of our team have been really under the weather of late and i would like to say that i hope they are all back to good health soon.
Don't forget to look in on the challenge blog around mid week, it could be you that has won the top stop.

Easy Rider

Digitally sweets challenge this week is to us digital metal on your Creation, well i hope they like what i have done this week. The main image i have used before but i love it and i have not used it in over 12 months so it's time for another airing. Most of the elements have come from a kit called Steampunk Farewell journey, a mini kit by crafty-poly, i think i have got that right, i have had it for a good while and i am not that good at keeping my kits in order.
I hope you like it .
