Happily Ever After - CD Sunday DT

Rather late today, I'm not sure where the weekend went, beautiful weather here, but a bit too hot for me.

So on to the card, I made a wedding card for this theme of 'Happily Ever After' at CD Sunday. 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.

Inspired By Nature - OLLCB DT

Time for a new challenge over at the Ooh-La-La Challenge blog and this time we have the theme of  'Inspired by Nature', thought I would make a Shutter Card this time to show off the images and papers which are from Yesterdays Memories CD, I printed the BP direct on to the hammered card, cut and shaped the flowers from the CD also and finished the centres with some gems, the ribbons are also from the CD, the front image I cut twice and decoupaged to give extra dimension, although it doesn't really show here.

We're all loved up here at OLLC right now, so our theme this time over at Ooh-La-La is Love Story, it doesn't have to be a valentines creation, but must be a love creation, my image and papers are from Silhouette Magic CD by Ooh-La-La Creations there are so many lovely images on this CD, I wanted to keep it simple so it would be suitable for a man, so no flowers or pink etc this time, in addition I also used a heart die cut in silver mirri and some heart shaped gems.

Time for a new challenge at CD Sunday and this week it is Layer it Up, so I immediately thought decoupage, I love this pansy image from JS RHS Collection which I haven't used for ages, you know how it is, you tend to focus on the latest collections and the old ones get forgotten, so it was an ideal one for me to do for this weeks DT card. Hope you like it.

Recipe - OLLCB DT

Cannot believe it's two weeks since the last challenge at Ooh-La-La, this time the them is a Recipe, one image, 2 DP,  3 embellies (for me gems, paper ribbon and hearts).

My card is made using the latest CD Everyday Occasions from Ooh-La-La which was recently introduced on Create and Craft TV, and is one of the sample cards I made for the CD's launch.  It's full of fantastic images, papers and embellies.  Everything on the card is from the CD apart from the gems. Yep the page curl is not a real page curl but a flat peice of paper as is the bow, it's a paper one.

A is for .... Art Deco - CD Sunday

Apologies for not being around much this week, we are still shocked and upset at the news we got from the vet regarding our 'baby',  our cat Sweep who we've had for many years now and had hoped to have around for a few more yet was diagnosed with cancer and will not be around much longer, she's not in any pain and seems her normal self,  which I think it makes it harder to bear, it just doesn't seem fair.  We will make the most of her cuddles whilst we are still able.

So better late than never it's time for another new challenge over at CD Sunday, this week it's the letter A, mine a for Art Deco, love the elegant period of dress.  My image and papers are from Debbi Moores' Glitter and Glitz, the front is acetate which i created an arch with lots of glitter on the lady and a few gems. The piccy is not great, goodness acetate is hard to photo !!
