Choc, cream and one other - CD Sunday DT

Not sure what happened to the 'comment' box on my last posting, sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn't, how weird, so thanks to those whose tried to leave me a comment but couldn't.

My card this week for CD Sunday is not a great photo colourwise, it really is a creamy colour and not white as it looks here.  My CD bit is the flowery BP from BMD, such lovely BP's,  the dies were my latest purchase of spellbinders Morroccan dies set , the centre embellie was made using my epihany tool and added some pearl gems to the centre, the ribbon is an extra wide one from my stash.

Challenges:
crafty catz - anything goes
fussy and fancy - punches/dies
Inspire me Friday - anything goes
the poodles parlour - anything goes
delicious doodles - recipe (gems. dies, flowers)
4 crafty chicks - no stamping
deep ocean - punches/dies

Sweets for My Sweet - CD Sunday DT

Morning all, Goodness it's so chilly, we gave in on Sunday last week and put our heating back on, just when we thought we'd finished with it until later in the year. I hope that 10 days of fabulous weather early in the month was not our summer. 

I decided I don't like the new blogger interface, faffed about with it for a few days since they automatically switched me to it, so I've reverted mine back to the old one, do wish they would stop playing with things, bit like facebook and the new timeline, don't like that either. 

I had lots of lovely entries to pick from last weeks theme, they were all lovely, don't foeget to check out the CD sunday Blog to see if you were in the top three later in the week. This weeks theme over at CD Sunday is Sweets for my Sweet, chosen by my teamie Carol, she picked it because it's her birthday this week,  Happy Birthday Carol.  My Tatty Teddy image and papers are from Do Crafts Me to You range, he has a luscious looking cake decorated with sparkly sweets and totally calorie free !.  I also used my new primrose die from Memory box and core'dinations card, the white doily I inked with chalk ink, all finished off with gems for the card and centre of the flowers.

Ring a Roses - CD Sunday DT

Morning all, what a hectic week, had a lovely surprise just over a week ago, my eldest son came to visit for most of the week, I hadn't seen him for almost a year, due to life getting in the way, so it was lovely to catch up again.

This week it's my time to pick the theme over at CD Sunday, and I chose 'Ring a Roses', so I hope to see your entry over there, for my card I made one of those difficult subject ones which we all have to make from time to time a sympathy card, Purple is a colour of mourning in some parts of the world and as it's my fav colour too, I decided to use the papers and image from Shabby Chic Vintage Flowers range by Debbi Moore, corner punched some layers with an MS punch, added some black gems and a ribbon bow and edged some pieces with peel offs for a change.

Fairy Nice - MTTC DT

A quick posting from me today, as we have visitors for a few days.  This time over at MTTC our theme is 'Fairy Nice',  My fairy is from the Debbi Moore range which I haven't used for ages, normally I always go for Flower Fairies, but thought I should give DM fairies an outing, I printed my BP direct onto hammered card and made into a 3d shutter style card, and added the decoupaged fairy, a really quick and easy card.
