Anything Goes

The CD Sunday Challenge Blog theme has been chosen by Wynn and this time 'Anything Goes'. So just as long as you use some element from a CD and tell us which one the rest is up to you.

Ingredients:

Kevin Wood's Treasured Teddies CD from Creative Crafting World
Stepper die by Crealies
Happy Birthday die Crafter's Companion
Leaves and flowers are Britannia dies
Silver corner peel offs (how long have I had these?!!)

I've made this one for a friend who loves teddy bears.

Happy 8th Birthday to CD Sunday Challenge Blog

Its time for the Birthday Challenge at CD Sunday and on the 18th April the challenge will be 8 years old! As it is Carol's birthday this month as well she has chosen our theme and she has designed a sketch for us to follow/interpret.

Here it is:



I hope you will have lots of fun with this and don't forget to use some element from a crafting CD and tell us which CD you used. For more inspiration do go to CD Sunday Challenge Blog and see what my fellow teamies have been doing.

Here is my card:



I used The Lace Collection CD by Creative Crafting World for my backing papers which I mounted onto a pretty shade of blue card

Ingredients:

Rub down foiled butterflies from Crafters Companion
Embossed Jug and Doily embossing folder by Joanna Sheen
Die cut stitches ovals by Creative
Flower stems and fronds by Elizabeth crafts
The flowers are made using a small floral die which I think was from Britannia. The top part of the flowers I cut by hand from the lilac backing paper with tiny gems added for the centres.

I am looking forward to visiting your blogs to see what you do with Carol's sketch. Don't forget if you don't have a blog you can also enter via our Facebook page. There are some fabulous prizes to be won so don't forget to join us in celebrating our 8th birthday.

No patterned papers

Meg is challenging us this time around at CD Sunday with 'no patterned papers'.

Here is my offering

I used Fairyopolis CD by Crafter's Companion for the decoupaged fairy on the front. There are some lovely little fairies on this CD using the artwork of Cicely Mary Barker. It is a triple disc set and I used my image from the Spring folder.  I mounted this onto some green card cut with an edge die and added some pretty yellow spotty ribbon.

Here you can see the layers of decoupage raised up on foam pads. 

Inside the card I made a pop up greeting using a stamp from Lili of the Valley and a Wiper die from Tattered Lace which makes the mechanism for the pop up. I added a panel for a written message and the daffodil die cut is from Joanna Sheen's Signature collection.

Happy Easter everyone and I hope the Easter Bunny has smiled upon you this weekend. I'm just trying to get over a cold that sneaked up on me just as I was recovering from a stomach bug I got while we were in India! Hopefully I've had my share for a while.
