<div style="text-align: justify;">
A somewhat late posting this time, for some reason I thought it was Saturday all day, even though I watched F1 grand prix which is always on a Sunday, not sure where my brain was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time the theme is Christmas is Coming over at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday,</a> so I'm showing my card made from the Glitter and Glitz CD range by Debbie Moore, another fairly quick and easy card for me, with the addition of a punched ribbon border, Sakura sparkle pens and some square gems.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
it's time for another theme over Ooh-La-La Creations, this time it's a really easy one as it's 'Add a Bow' I added a double bow with two different ribbons, I also used the lovely image and papers of Hickory Dickory Dock from the Nursery Times CD. To finish off I added some die cut corners and some flat back pearls.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's my turn to choose the theme over at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday </a>this time, I chose 'Birthday for a Male', both of my sons have birthdays in the near future, so it seemed like an ideal theme for me and it's always a challenge making cards suitable for males, as we can't use all those pretty girly embellishments on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My image is from Ooh La La Creations, the BP was in my stash, so not sure what CD it game from.</div>

Rather late today, I'm not sure where the weekend went, beautiful weather here, but a bit too hot for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So on to the card, I made a wedding card for this theme of '<a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Happily Ever After' at CD Sunday</a>. I used popcorn Bear CD's from Crafters Companion, Popcorn is still one of my favourites. it was quite a quick and easy card for me, I added a doily to BP for the topper to sit on, some ribbon around the spine of the card and a die cut 'Wedding' sentiment die cut from silver mirri card and finally a few flat back gems on the doily, although they don't show very well on here.</div>

Today I'm showing a card I started a while ago, I finally got around to finishing it recently, this is my DT card for CD Sunday where we have the theme of 'Get well' . The image is from Sheena 's Paint CD Pansies are one of my favourite flowers so I enjoyed doing the layers on these flowers. I also used an MS punch for the ribbon band, inked some edges of the papers and finished off with some flat backed pearls.</div>

Our theme this week over at Ooh-La-La Creations blog is 'Fancy Folds', a favourite theme for me along with Easel cardsThis one is a variation of a Shutter Card. It uses images from one of my favourite CD's - Everyday Occasions, the BP was printed direct to the cardstock and I highlighted the edges with ink, I printed an extra of the main images but enlarged it so I could cut them out and stick to the main card with Pinflair glue.Purple Crazyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09227755308447186563noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200106777043019147.post-23245481148360168082014-08-10T10:00:00.000+02:002014-08-10T10:00:00.443+02:00Quilted Fun - CD Sunday DT<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time our theme at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday</a> is 'Quilted Fun', I've been trying to use bits and pieces from my printed box, it's overflowing with all those images and papers I printed when I got the CD's and for whatever reason didn't get around to using all or some of. My image is from Swalk by Crafters Companion, the quilted look BP I'm not sure if got it like that or if it was one of my experiments in Craft Artist. All the buttons are punched from patterned papers and then I used glaze to finish them. I used an MS punch for the centre strip, then added another strip with more glazed paper buttons. I finished off with Waco Pearl drops on the corners.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good morning, I'm back again after a couple of months away due to some medical problems with my OH George, it was a worrying and stressful time for both of us, thankfully all appears to be resolved and well again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the other good things for me is I didn't put my PC on very much during the past couple of months and I'm trying to stick to only switching it on a couple of times a week, it's so easy to find I've been faffing about on the thing for ages and wasted several hours and achieved nothing at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have absolutely no mojo or inclination for card making at the moment, so I spent some time going through photos of my previous cards for some inspiration. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday</a> our theme is 'Round Again' - re-cycled, chosen by team mate Carol. I've not been as adventurous as some of my team mates and I've stuck to just making a card. My recycled bits are the ribbon which I saved from something I received years ago, it's more like a strip of upholstery fabric than ribbon and has on 'odd' feel to it, whilst not re-cycling as such the turquoise paper and the image are from my paper bits box, something I printed off and used parts of previously, so that's two bits of paper/card less in the box !! - but there is a long way to go to used them all up, the image is from Thomas Kincade CDs by Joanna Sheen.</div>

This is my card for my choice of theme over at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com.es/">CD Sunday</a> this week, a little bit late, it's not been a good couple of weeks, so I'm trying to catch up. I chose the theme of 'Ribbons, Lace and Gems' a very simple card this time, the image is from Faerie Poppets CD by Crafters Companion. layered onto Centura Pearl Cardstock, and finished of with lace trimmed with small gems, and a bow with a big sparkly gems in the middle.</div>
<br />
Hope you like my choice of theme and pop over to the blog and also my teamies cards.<br />

At long last I've been able to get onto the Blogger site, I haven't been able to access it since Saturday morning. So here I am, better late than never, this is my DT card for the latest challenge over at <a href="http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/">Ooh-La-La,</a> where we have have the theme of 'Faithful Friends' my images and papers are from <a href="http://www.ooh-la-la-creations.com/Pages/OnLineCraftShop2.aspx">Faithful Friends CD by Ooh-La-La Creations</a>, I decided it was time for a Waterfall style card for a change, all finished off with some organza ribbon and Card Candi.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Easter dear followers, I hope you have a lovely day, the weather is lovely and sunny and I will be relaxing.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I'm showing you a Christmas card - ideal for Easter, don't you think ! It's actually for our latest theme of 'Deco Drama' over at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">CD Sunday</a>, it gave me a chance to make my first Christmas card this year, a bit of late start for me, I normally start them in February, but I've been busy making wedding invites and stationery for daughter Jess's wedding a little later in the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My card uses images and papers from Deco Christmas CD by Debbi Moore and a template I found somewhere on the internet a couple of years ago, I added a couple of scrolls die cut into Silver mirri card and glittered her dress for a little sparkle and finally a sparkly ribbon bow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope to see your entry on the challenge this week, don't forget to pop over and see what my teamies have made.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week our new theme is 'A card for a Child' for <a href="http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/">Ooh-la-la creations</a> challenge. The image and papers are from <a href="http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/">Fairies and Blooms CD</a>, I made it for my Grand-daughter Matilda's birthday, haven't made a twisted easel for a while so that made a nice change. I added some die cut swirls, ribbon and a senti from my stash.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today my <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday </a>DT card is for my Grand-daughter Ivy's birthday, my 'D' for the theme is decoupage, I've used image and papers from Popcorn Bear - Birthday CD. the hearts and heart corner and border punch set were from a Martha Stewart punch, sadly the border punch gave up and stopped punching after I had punched a couple of borders, very unusual for an MS punch, unfortunately I can't remember where I got it from. The little hearts scattered around were the offcuts from the main punch. I also used some clear glaze on the balloons, ribbon and 'happy birthday' are from my stash.</div>

The title of this weeks challenge over at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday</a> sounds a little like me some days, hehe. Anyway our latest challenge is 'Going Round in Circles', I couldn't think what to do at first, my image and papers are from Popcorn Platinum Edition from Crafters Companion. I ended up with plenty of circles, I also used some purple glitter paper, MS punches, and some little gems, oh yes and some peel offs, I haven't used them for ages.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our latest challenge over at <a href="http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/">Ooh-La-La</a> starts today, with the theme of 'A Special Lady' I decided to use image and papers from <a href="http://www.ooh-la-la-creations.com/Pages/OnLineCraftShop2.aspx">Ooh-La-La's Shawn Jenkins CD.</a> I do love cards with flowers and butterflies. My doily was lightly inked with some purple ink as were the edges of the BP, the two little scrolls are made from Martha Stewart paper clay and moulds, they give some depth, I also cut some extra butterflies for a bit more dimension and finally finished off with a purple bow and a 'for you mum' sentiment.</div>

What an awful night here in France and the day is not shaping up to be much better, high winds, heavy rain and hail through the night, now it's black skies, heavy rain and thunder, it's so dark we've got the lights on, there has been structural damage in some areas and yet more flooding on the Atlantic coast, </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So onto my card this week, our latest theme over at <a href="http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/">Ooh-La-La Creations</a> Challenge is 'Happy Anniversary', I've gone for the more masculine type card this time, hence the lack of pretty bows and flowers, instead I've used bakers twine and real sea shells, the image and papers are from the <a href="http://www.ooh-la-la-creations.com/Pages/default.aspx">Shawn Jenkins Collection</a> CD by <a href="http://www.ooh-la-la-creations.com/Pages/default.aspx">Ooh-La-La</a>, this CD is one of my favourites from their range with so many fantastic images, I also used an Martha Stewart punch on the front edges, insideI've overlaid the BP with a Spell Binders hearts and lattice die cut panel.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good morning, at last a beautiful sunny day, even though it's cold, it's been so wet here since we got home a few weeks ago, so nice to see some sunshine at long last.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our latest theme over at <a href="http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">CD Sunday</a> is 'Quotations' I did struggle a little with this one at first, probably because I rarely use words on the front of my cards, I did a search through my CD's and found this one on Debbi Moore's Shabby Chic Butterflies and Flowers, it gave me a chance to use my favourite large butterfly die and a couple of smaller butterflies using a Martha Stewart punch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope to see your entry over at the challenge and don't forget to pop over to my teamies blogs and see what they have made.</div>
