Get Well Wishes

Well I'm blown away by the lovely entries for my challenge at CD Sunday over the last two weeks. It will take me a while to choose my Top 3.

It is Sue's turn to set the challenge for the next two weeks and she has chosen Get Well Wishes. So many people I know are not feeling well at the moment so this is very appropriate.

Here is my card.

I used a large Spellbinder die to cut a circle that I then folded in half to make a rocker card.

The image, backing paper and sentiment are all printed from Joanna Sheen House Mouse CD Volume One. I used a couple of dies to layer the decoupage onto - the open lacy one from Crafter's Companion and the circular one from Tonic. 

I do hope that little house mouse is feeling better soon. The rocker card will help him sleep lol.

For anyone not feeling too well at the moment I wish you better very soon. xx

All Creatures Great and Small

Everyone seemed to enjoy Wynn's colour challenge at CD Sunday and I hope you will enjoy my challenge just as much.

I've picked All Creatures Great and Small and hope you will have lots of ideas for this challenge.

Here is my card:

I used two CDs for this card - Times Gone By from Joanna Sheen for the main image and Printable Gingham by Robert Addams for the two backing papers.

The main image has been matted onto black card so that it stands out. I then added some die cut bunting and peel off letters to read Hen Party.

Don't forget to visit CD Sunday Challenge Blog for more inspiration and details of how to enter.

Colour Challenge - New Baby

Another new challenge and this time Wynn has a colour challenge for us at CD Sunday.

Here is the inspiration -



Isn't that cute? Just look at all those lovely colours.

Here is what I made -

I used Joanna Sheen's Precious Petals cd. This is a lovely CD that I come back to time and again. So many little cuties on here. I used a die cut to frame my main image and another die to make the bunting, I used some epoxy stickers that I've had in my stash for ages to spell out BABY. I also found these little feet in some peel offs I have. 

I have a friend who is expecting a baby soon so my card is ready and waiting :-).

I wonder what you will do with Wynn's colour challenge. To take a closer look head over to CD Sunday Challenge Blog and find out how to enter. 

Thank You

Carol has chosen our theme this time for CD Sunday Challenge Blog. We are all saying Thank You and for me this means Thank You for joining in and playing along with us.

To join in just remember to use an image or backing papers from a CD that you have (in fact any part of your design can be from a CD), just remember to tell us which CD you have used.

If you go over to the CD Sunday Challenge Blog you will see what my fellow teamies have for you and also to find out my Top 3 for my challenge of Seasons from 24 January.

For my card this week I thought I'd go for a clean and simple look for a change and used a white embossed card, a white die cut surrounding my main image and white ribbon. I die cut the sentiment in bright blue to compliment the background of the image and also so that it stands out a little.

My image is from Joanna Sheen's Ivory Cats CD. I love this image as it reminds me of my Daisy.

Buttons

Time for a new challenge at CD Sunday and it is Sue's turn to choose this time. Sue would like us to use a button, or buttons, in our design. If you are anything like me you will have loads to choose from :-)

I made my card using a three panel pre-cut card. 

I used the Gnomes and Fairies CD from La Pashe and printed off two sheets of backing paper, one to cover the front of the card and the other for the inside. I then used a Spellbinder die to cut an aperture in the first two panels. 

I sandwiched some acetate between the apertures and then stuck the two panels together to form the front of the card. On the inside I printed off one of the scenes from the CD and added this to the grass backing paper. The Happy Birthday was cut using a Crafters' Companion die.

The decoupage for the gnome has a front and back view so I built up the image on the front of the card using foam pads and then did the same thing on the inside using the back view pieces. 

I added some dotty ribbon and the greeting that came on the design sheet. The leaves are die cut and some of my favourites at the moment, (I think they are from Britannia) which just left me to add those all important buttons which look like flowers among the foliage. 

Don't forget to check out what my fellow teamies at CD Sunday Challenge Blog have to show you this time. To join in all you have do to is remember to use something from a CD and let us know which one.

We had some lovely entries last time around for my theme choice of Seasons so I'm going to be busy later today choosing my Top 3.

Lots of Red

I've made this card for the new challenge at Digi Design Challenge Blog using papers and card from my stash to mat and layer my main image onto. I searched through my ribbon collection and found some pretty red spotty ribbon. The die cut flowers are made using a die from Joanna Sheen's Signature range. I used alcohol pens and polychromos pencils to colour the image. I added a touch of glossy accents to the ladybird and then I remembered that years ago I had bought a kit that contained lots of wooden ladybirds so I added one of those to my die cut flowers.

So here is my entry into Digi Design Challenge Blog.

Seasons

Well that's another fortnight gone by in a flash and now it's time for a new challenge at CD Sunday Challenge Blog. Wynn will be choosing her top 3 from all the lovely entries we had and this time around it is my turn to choose a theme. I've gone with Seasons and hope that everyone will have lots of ideas for this.

Here is mine:

I've used Joanna Sheen's Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady and used some yellow card for matting and layering. I used some grosgrain ribbon, die cut some green fronds and stamped a greeting using a Cuddly Buddly stamp.

I'll be around blog land later to see what everyone comes up with for the new CD Sunday Challenge.
