Easel Cards - OLLCB DT

We did have friends staying with us this week, but a family crisis caused them to have to return to the UK in the early hours of this morning, it was a hectic few hours organising travel and getting them on their journey.  I've only just remembered I had a posting to do this morning, well better late than never !

This week over at Ooh-La-La Challenge we have the theme of 'Easel Cards' one of my favourite styles, for mine I used papers, image which is a pyramaged and embellies from Yesterdays Memories CD which has lot of lovely vintage style images suitable for all occasions including some for those difficult male projects.

Thank You - CD Sunday DT

Good morning, I'm hoping for a sunny day today, well it's forecast, so we will see what the day brings

This week at CD Sunday our theme is 'Thank You'  this was a good opportunity to use some of  my new dies, from Rob Addams and also his Stretch Cards CD, for my butterflies and dragon flies I used various Memory Box and Marianne dies and a couple I cut on my Craft Robo a while ago. The 'thank you' is also a die I got from Joanna Sheen

In the Sky - MTTC DT

A digi card from me today, Over at MTTC this time we have the theme of 'In the Sky', I chose to use Butterflies, made with digi elements and papers from Caroline Rawcliffe in Craft Artist 2.

It's a brief posting as we have visitors this week, so nice to see friends from UK I haven't seen for a couple of years.

Through the Window - CD Sunday DT

This time over at CD Sunday we have a few changes, Teamie Carol has gallantly taken up the reigns of doing the weekly posting, as Jenny is taking a break for a while, we also have a new DT member Sue, and  a new guest designer Margaret for the month of April, and lastly this week as it is the first week of the month it is a sponsored week, Carol requested that she sponsor us this time as it's a special birthday for her this year and she is offering a fab prize for the lucky winner, so there are a few good reasons to pop on over and have a look.

The theme this week is 'Through the Window',  my card has two windows, the window of the card which I cut with a die and also my image is through a window, image and papers are from Hollypond Hill by Joanna Sheen, I added some extra birds and roses to the frame and also some self adhesive paper ribbon.

Green and Orange - OLLCB DT

My last post for the day is for Ooh-La-La where we have the theme of Green and Orange, my gorgeous kitties image and the papers are all from their CD Yesterdays Memories with the addition of some Card Candi and I inked the edges of the papers to give some depth.

Sugar and Spice CD Sunday DT

This challenge for CD Sunday made think of the rhyme little girls are made of Sugar and Spice, etc... I found this adorable image on Paintbox Poppets from Crafters Companion, and the bottom backing paper is from a Joanna Sheen, Hollypond Hill the button embellies are also from the CD, I glittered the rain drops although it doesn't show on the piccy.

MTTC DT

Oh dear !! I'm all behind with my posts again this week, had a bit of a relapse and been feeling awful for most of the week, so this is my 1st posting the other two will follow shortly.

At MTTC this time we have the them of 'Use an old newspaper, book or magazine, this was not an easy task for me as we do not have newspapers or magazines and books are sacred in our house, after pondering the problem I remembered seeing some faux newsprint  and found it on 'Mechanical' CD by  Debbi Moore.
