#119 - Anything Goes

It's my turn to host the challenge this fortnight at CD Sunday Plus.

Here is my card.   




I made this card using backing paper from a CD from La Pashe called Gnomes and Fairies. The stamp is by Daisy B and the matts and layers were die cut using A5 Double Stitched Nested Dies by Claina Palmer Designs. 




I also lined the envelope with a matching paper in the same design for a finishing touch. 

If you would like to join in this challenge you can find all the details of how to enter on our blog - CD Sunday Plus Challenge Blog.

#118 - Anything Goes

Margret is hosting the challenge this fortnight at CD Sunday Plus.

Here is my card.   




I lost a friend earlier this year to ovarian cancer. It was very sudden and shocked us all. This is the card I made for the family. 

I made this card using backing paper and the main image from a CD from Joanna Sheen called If Flowers Could Talk. I removed the verse that was on the original image and replaced it with one I had found on the internet. 

I used two dies from the Winter White Collection by Crafter's Companion to make the flowers and leaves. The stamens are also from the same collection. 






I then used Nuvo Watercolour Pencils from Tonic Studios to colour the petals to look like lilies. 




I used another verse from the internet on the insert. 




I then lined the envelope to finish it off.

Autumn = Apples

Does anyone else feel as if Autumn has arrived early this year, or is it just me? With the apples ripening fast on our trees and strong winds blowing them down we decided it was time to pick some before they all end up bruised and broken on the ground. 

That meant I had to get the apple peeling machine (it actually peels, slices and cores all in one go so brilliant for batch cooking) and my large pan out to make this year's batch of apple chutney using a recipe that my friend Carol gave me some years ago now. 

It takes a few days to do all the cooking and then put it all into jars and label up but this year's batch is now finished and looks like this.


The photo on the front of the label is actually me holding one of last year's beautiful apples. I use the website Jam Labelizer each year to make my labels. You can find them here:

#117 - Anything Goes

Carol is hosting the challenge this fortnight at CD Sunday Plus.

Here is my card.   




The image is from a download set by Magik Graphics called  'An Unkindness of Ravens'. I printed this onto photographic paper and mounted it onto some holographic card. Just added a little happy birthday to finish it off.

#114 - Anything Goes

It's my turn to host the challenge this fortnight at CD Sunday Plus.

Here is my card.   






I made this card using backing paper and the main image from a CD from Joanna Sheen called Baby Love. 

My Goddaughter has just had a baby girl and called her Imogen so this card was a perfect way to celebrate her arrival. 


I also decorated the back of the card, lined the envelope and added an image to the envelope flap for a finishing touch.
