Sugar and spice

Good morning everyone and welcome back to another CD Sunday challenge.

Last week we had Bundle of joy and i have visited all the blogs and i must say i am really pleased with what you all came up, so please look back on wednesday on the main CD Sunday challenge blog to see who get the tp 3 spots.

This week the challenge for you is Sugar and spice chosen by Jocelyn, now you should all enjoy this one. I have seen what are guest designer Marina and our have come up to inspire and i'm wondering what you can add.

For my card i have used craft artist to build up my card, i have used a Polka doodles Cd, Jingle Jangle Christmas and also some grahics from Cheryl Seslar.

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.

For my card i have used a Peerless Designes CD called Woodland Fantasy, i love this cd so full of original fantasy themed artwork, just fabulous. 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. 
As always please use something from a CD and give the CD you used a credit , i look forward to visiting you all and seeing what you come with.

This week we have Christine who has pick Hugs and Wishes for our challenge.

For my card i have used a Joanna Sheen CD Daisy and Friends, and i have used Rosie for the main image, this card has been digitally crafted in craft artist using some  of the very clever attributes it has to offer. Using craft artist i can add embellishment , layers etc but then print it out flat so there is no bulk when it comes to be posted, happy days.

  I look forward to seeing what you can come up with this, and please remember to use a Cd,  any part will do and tell us what CD you have used.

I'm sure you will be inspired by the teams take on the challenge for this week.

Spring is in the air

Well Beryl is going to have some fun deciding her top three out of the fabulous cards we had for On your bike .

This week it is  Wendy's choice , Spring is in the air. i for one hope it's true.

As usual the design team have come up with beautiful card inspiration for you, so come along and join in with us this week.

As usual please remember to a Cd, any part will do , a paper, embellishment anything at all and credit what you have used.

For my card i have used a MCS Cd, called Floriography Cd 2 , the little girl image is a digital stamp called Faye with flowers . I have used 6x6 lemon card as the base, printed out all the elements and cut them out. The flower was cut on a cameo and curled back the petals then added pearls to the centre 

 

On your Bike

Well everyone seemed to love last weeks challenge showtime chosen by Caz, we had amazing cards and i don't envy Caz having to pick out a winner.

Now for this weeks choice chosen by Beryl, it's ON your Bike.

The team have come up with really great ideas and all so very different so i'm sure you will be inspired to play along.

For my card i have used a 8x8 white card and made a twisted easel card, a stamp from Sheena Douglass ( a little bit festive) i have used promarkers to colour it, a happy birthday stamp from lily of the valley,  the mat and flowers where cut on a Cameo and the my CD element is the backing paper from Artylicious butterfly bliss.

Now i am looking forward to what you can do and visiting you all, i know i really this challenge and i did have someone very special to send this card to.

 

Show Time

February already !! i think this year is going to fly by.

last weeks challenge at CD Sunday was chosen by Jocelyn and the team gave you a fabulous selection then we had your take on the challenge, fabulous but i don't envy Jocelyn having to pick a winner out of all those beautiful entries .

For this weeks challenge we have Show time chosen by Caz .

Now i have seen what the team have created and they are varied and fabulous and hope that you will be inspired to play along with us again this week.

For my card i have used The best of La Pashe 2012, I have seen so many beautiful cards being created from this CD that i just had to have it.

I have used a 7x7 black card and used a torn piece of music sheet paper, the image has been mounted on  to mirror card as have the sentiments and ticket, i have used the off cuts of the mirror card to give it a framed effect. 

I think it will be a good card for a teenager or male and hope you like it.

Forever in blue jeans

This week at CD Sunday the challenge is ...Forever in blue jeans. This is my DT card, i have made a 7" x 5" tent fold . i have compiled this card in Craft artist as i find it so much easier to re-size, cut out and add shadow and do a multitude of other things within this program.  I have used a Joanna Sheen CD one of my favorites House Mouse.  I just love these little characters they are so full of fun.

This is about Macy my giant schnauzer, she is 10 now and i have had from 8 week old. She is a gentle giant and has been a joy to know, definitely my dog, or that is until Jake arrives for a visit. Almost 6 years ago Macy had a phantom pregnancy and at the same time my daughter Michelle was expecting her first baby.

 When my grandson Jake arrived Macy thought he was wonderful and was always near by, she even sleep outside his bedroom. After a time Michelle moved to her own home and i noticed that Macy was not herself at all. A few days later Michell called by with Jake and we had the return of the old Macy for the day. 

After they left she took to her bed for long periods and was off her food so i asked Michelle to call with Jake and hey presto she was back to normal. This went on for several weeks but over time Macy got used to Jake just coming and going and returned to the the dog i know and love. But even now over three years on if Jake is in the house he has a big black shadow with him at all times and it's as well that he loves her too.

 I am entering this into the digitally sweet challenge it's all about pets

I like cats , big ones especially, sadly so many are now endangered.

In some parts of America this one has been taken off the endangered list and has been declared as extinct. It is not extinct world wide but it's numbers are low. I hope it never get to the stage that we only have pictures of them.

I am entering this into the digitally sweet challenge  just because i love this photo.

Buttons and bows The happy scrappers

I almost forgot about the challenge over at The happy Scrappers challenge blog, it's a monthly challenge so i will just make it in time.

I have used a photo of my granddaughter Chloe for this page, the photo was taken about two years ago,..............  they grow so fast. the theme this month is buttons and bows . So anyone looking for a scrap challenge why not do a page and pop it into challenge, it's only challenge 5 so quite a new one, don't know how i missed it on my reading list,

 here is my entry and a link

Make and Recycle

Do you have any old washing tablet boxes , if you do why not recycle and make use of it. It takes less than two 12x12 sheets of paper, in fact the next one i do will be in old news paper or magazine to keep my word stamps.

This box is just the right size to hold 14 stamp pads, i have not added anything to the top, that way they are stackable too. Time to make , maybe one hour. I have made these for my daughter who keeps all the small odds and ends in, it would also make a nice little sewing box, may do that next............
