152 A Special Lady - OLLCB DT

Our latest challenge over at Ooh-La-La starts today, with the theme of 'A Special Lady' I decided to use image and papers from Ooh-La-La's Shawn Jenkins CD. 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.

Simply Red - CD Sunday DT

It's time again already for another challenge over at CD Sunday, the theme this week is my choice and I've gone for 'Simply Red' so that gives you plenty of scope.  

Mine is made for Grandson's birthday, for the background I embossed some red mirri to give texture , the image is from MCS Collectors Edition, a little bit of BP that was in my paper stash of offcuts, all finished off with Bakers Twine and die cut sentiment.

Happy anniversary - Ooh-La-La Creations DT

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, 

So onto my card this week, our latest theme over at Ooh-La-La Creations 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 Shawn Jenkins Collection CD by Ooh-La-La, 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.

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.

Fashionista - OLLCB DT

Hello, it's time for another new challenge over Ooh-La-La Creations, and our theme is Fashionista.  I made my card for my step daughters birthday, she's into pink in a big way, I used a couple of die cut flourishes and some Kort and Godt pearls to complete the card. 

Love Always - CD Sunday DT

Hello, I'm back this week from our holidays at Antibes in the south of France with the Camping Car, the weather was lovely and warm and sunny most days, so nice to sit out in the sun,  the two months really flew by, I must say we are not liking all this rain and wind and cold that we have here at home in Western France, the Atlantic winds are battering the coast here similar to those in UK, so much damage all over the place.

As I prepared and scheduled  all my posts for the period we were away before we went, I almost forgot to do this one, so it's 3am and I'm quickly writing this.

Our theme this week at CD Sunday is Love Always, well it is that time of year again.  I used Shabby Chic Time Flies CD by Debbi Moore this was such a quick and easy card to make.

Hope to see your entry on the CD Sunday Blog, don't forget to pop on to my teamies blogs and see what they have come up with.

8/8 - Use a Heart - OLLCB DT
