Missing Posts

Typical, seems there have been problems with my scheduled  posts earlier this week, they didn't happen and they have disappeared from the listings, shouldn't grumble really as they are always scheduled and it doesn't happen often,  but why did it have to happen when I am unwell and not up to checking it out ! Makes me want to scream.  Hopefully all will be back to normal this weekend, I just need to feel well enough to make something.

Feeling marginally better today, although not moving much as the ear infection has left me more unbalanced than usual (no rude comments please).  Many thanks for the thoughtful comments about the loss of our Sweep last week, they were very much appreciated.

So onto the missing posts, I am going to make it one big posting, as I'm really not up to sitting like this for long.

On Sunday it was time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday with the theme of 'Cute Christmas', the DT were fortunate enough to be given Elegant Inspirations - Christmas Comfort CD to play with, there are two cd's in this pack one is the normal kind of thing you would expect in the shape of images and backing papers etc., the other cd is full of different cutting files which you can use either with a cutting machine or to print off and cut out by hand.  CD Sunday also have a spare CD to give to the lucky winner of the top 3 this week, so make sure you pop over and have a look.  apart from papers.images from the CD I also used my new holly corner die and added some red Waco Pearl drops for the berries, and a little gold mirri for layering.

On Monday there was also a new challenge over at Ooh-la-La, and their theme for the fortnight is 'All at Sea' my image/papers for this are from 'Boys to Men' CD. with added die cuts from Marianne Creatables using cored'inations card which I lightly sanded after cutting/embossing.

Nursery Rhymes - CD Sunday DT

Boy it's hot here at the moment, we're right in the middle of a heatwave, today the thermometer topped out at 38C outside, i'm writing this at 1.30 at night but it's still 25C out there, far too hot for me, reckon sleep will not be easy tonight.  Tomorrow is my hubbys birthday so I really should try and find the card I made for him weeks ago, I put it somewhere safe, but do you think I can find it now,!!!

Anyway enough of my ramblings as it's Sunday again already, it's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday and this week the theme is Nursery Rhymes, I really struggled to find any suitable images and then I found this in the new Humphrey range from Crafters Companion and I thought Goosey Goosey Gander, the backing papers are from the Humphrey CD, the flower and scroll dies are from my fav range of Marianne Creatables, the base card is Centura Pearl and the mirri is Kanban linen effect, all finished off with a few pearls, and some sakura glitter pens.  Have a good week everyone.

Challenges:
catch the bug - birds or bees
