Christmas is coming - CD Sunday DT

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.

This time the theme is Christmas is Coming over at CD Sunday, 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.

Deco Drama - CD Sunday DT

Happy Easter dear followers, I hope you have a lovely day, the weather is lovely and sunny and I will be relaxing.

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 CD Sunday, 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.

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.

Hope to see your entry on the challenge this week, don't forget to pop over and see what my teamies have made.

Going Round in Circles - CD Sunday DT

The title of this weeks challenge over at CD Sunday 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.

Quotations - CD Sunday DT

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.

Our latest theme over at CD Sunday 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.

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.

7/8 - Year of the Horse - CD Sunday DT

Apparently it's the 'Year of the Horse' this year, and that's theme we've chosen this time over at CD Sunday. My image is from a CD of 6,900 Animal pictures I bought from an ebay seller when I first started paper crafting  years ago, my BP is from Bearly Mine Designs, I used various die cut scrolls/flourishes which I linked together, all finished off with some dotty ribbon, pearls and  some little flowers from my stash which I coloured with Pro-Markers.

Simply Square - CD Sunday DT

Hello, I'm back again at long last.  Back in August I had a fall and injured my right arm, I also dislocated my index finger on my left hand, just as they were improving a few weeks later I had another fall doing exactly the same thing again, my right arm is now much better, but the finger will never be the same, it's crooked and also numb at the end, the knuckle joints are still painful, so i'm having to change how i do things, you don't realise how much you use the finger till it's out of action.

This week at CD Sunday our theme is 'Simply Square', my card was a quick and easy one, it Suses image and papers from Mulberry Wood CD by Crafters Companion, I have decoupaged some layers, and finished off with some Card Candi, Sakura Glitter pens and Christmas ribbon from my stash.

It's the first Sunday of the month again already, so over at CD Sunday that means it's a sponsored challenge, this month we have Jems Designs who are offering a CD from their range for one lucky entrant.

The team were generously given the lovely Hat Box Collection CD to work with, this turquoise hat and BP's jumped out for me, after purple, my fav colours are Turquoise or Fuschia, I added an extra layer of the hat and the bag and highlighted them with Sakura Silver Glitter pen, unfortunately it doesn't show up at all in the piccy.

Triptic - MTTC

This time over at My Time To Craft we have a style I've not used for a while 'Triptic', for my card I've used and image and paper from my latest purchase  from Joanna Sheen Triple House Mouse CD, the edge is punched with an MS punch, I added depth to the marshmallows with some puffy snow and some some sparkle to the centre of the flowers with a Sakura Glitter pen, finished off with some paper lace ribbon and some gems.

Majesty - CD Sunday DT

Today I'm showing you a card made for one of my grand-daughters birthday, she is into everything 'princess' and 'pink', so thought this was just right for my DT card in our challenge this week over at CD Sunday where we have the theme of  'Majesty', as well as the image and some of the papers from Crafters Companion SWALK CD, I also used a little paper from another CD, but cannot remember which one, I also used dies for the 'Happy  Birthday' and the heart, the little pink butterfly and the pink flowers are from my stash, I   inked some of my edges with color-box chalk inks and highlighted her tiara with a sakura glitter pen.

Wonderful Wings - CD Sunday DT

Back again at long last, what a few weeks it's been, firstly we had no internet for a couple weeks or so, we also managed to get the awful flu bug that's doing the rounds over here and lasts for weeks, just when we thought we were improving it all got worse again, still have the chest and ear infection, so fingers crossed we keep on getting better, because i'm so fed up with it all.

There will be three postings today, bringing me up to date with my DT's.  My first card for CD Sunday  was made for a friends birthday and uses papers and image from Debbi Moores Shabby Chic Victorian Botanical I also used a MS punch down the front edge

Art Nouveau - CD Sunday Dt

Morning all,  It's the first challenge of the new year over at CD Sunday, as it's also the first challenge of the month it's also a sponsored one, this time we have Peerless Designs as our generous sponsor and the prize is their Floral Jewels CD. The DT were given various images and papers to play with, I hope you like my little creation, it's not a great picture their is some pale lemon gingham ribbon down the right hand side and pale lemon BP behind the main image, I'll have to put it down to the awful light at moment, makes it so hard to get a decent picture of the lighter colours.

Teddy Bears - CD Sunday DT

It's my turn to pick the theme for this weeks challenge  over at CD Sunday and I chose Teddy Bears, so I hope you like it,  I decided to make this wall hanging for one of my grand-daughters using images and papers from the Popcorn range by Crafters Companion, I seem to be in Popcorn phase at the moment, the individual pieces are linked together with ribbons, it's not the best picture in the world as it was difficult to photograph being quite long, if you click on the piccy  you will see the whole thing, there is quite a bit of dimension to it as the letters and the bears are all decoupaged on to the individual pieces and I used Sakura Glitter Pens on the flowers to highlight them, it looks so much better in real life.

Hope you are all ready for Christmas, bye for now.

Oh Christmas Tree - CD Sunday DT

Time for a christmas card I reckon, this card is my CD Sunday DT card where we have the theme of 'Oh Christmas Tree', one of my favourite images is this one from  Majestic Christmas CD by Debbi Moore.  Some more decoupage from me this time and I used a MS punch for the front edge and some glitter to highlight the glittery bits.  Don't forget to pop over and have a look at my teamies makes for this week.
