CD Sunday Challenge - Transport

I'm hoping this post has published as planned as I'll be in Stoke on Trent when this weeks
CD Sunday challenge begins. The theme this week is 'Transport' and I've used a Crafters Companions stamp from the Men's collection. It's stamped with Versafine and embossed and then coloured with Promarkers. The CD element is the backing paper - which is part of one of the Duo papers in MCS Papercraft Library. The torn pieces are some copy paper - spritzed, scrunched and then embossed with gold ep on the raised bits. Brads and cord from my stash and the greeting cut with a Wizard label die.
This is my last week as guest designer with the CD Sunday challenge team and I will get round to visiting your creations - but it may be when I get home.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 145

Just managed time to enter Rainbow Lady's challenge this week before off on my travels again. Tomorrow I'm going to stay with my daughter in Stoke on Trent and we are going to the NEC together on Saturday. I'll probably stay in Stoke a few days after too. This week the challenge is 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon'. Well - it's not exactly tied - but it is there. I've used an image from Joanna Sheen's RHS CD and a computer generated sentiment. The pale green swirls in the background are by Creative Expressions and are a Sheena Douglass design. Said ribbon and pearls from my stash.

Thanks for visiting today. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on Saturday in case any of you are there.

Wild Thing!

It's my third week as guest designer with the CD Sunday Challenge team - and the theme this time is 'Wild Thing'. I've made an off centre gatefold card and used a bp from the Jayne Netley Mayhew II cd. It's very pale with just a hint of landscape to I added some birds (Lavinia) and some trees (Judikins Africa cube).
The main image is a Dimension Fourth stamp, cut out and decoupaged onto the topper.
I hope you'll join in this week - there's lots of scope with the theme. I resisted the urge to use a photo of myself after I'd seen the mess the dog made of the newly varnished kitchen floor! Let's see what 'Wild Thing' means to you.
Thanks for visiting today.

All Grown Up Now

It's my second week as guest designer on the CD Sunday challenge and this week it's a colour theme - Blue, Brown and Yellow.

Well here are the threesome featured in an ealier post at Karen's 40th birthday party. She used the photo of them as 'babes' for the cake and I made the scrapbook page in Craft Artist Platinum.

For the card I used the Bryony Bee CD from Debbeescds. which I was lucky enough to win on the CD Sunday challenge a few weeks ago. The flowers were punched from some printed paper I had over from another project, ribbon from my stash  and the bp is from Robert Adams Handmade Papers cd (although you can't see too much of it.)

I do hope you'll join in this - I look forward to seeing your colourful creations.

Thank you for visiting today.

Goodbye Pickle

Sorry I've been a bad blogger again this week. We had to say goodbye to my gorgeous Pickle yesterday who has been ill since last week.
If you are reading this Terrie - I can't talk about it yet.

Cuttlebug meets Promarkers

This week the challenge from the Bah Humbug team is 'Embossing'. I've used a Cuttlebug holly embossing folder and coloured the raised areas with Promarkers. Then sprayed the whole lot with irridescent glitter spray. The sentiment is computer generated and was cut with a nestie ovals die. That's about it really.

Thanks very much for visiting.

Rainbow Lady's challlenge #142

Rainbow Lady's challenge this week is - 'Masked Ball for Mardi Gras' so I thought I'd use this Judikins Mask stamp that doesn't get to see the light of day very often.  I stamped the mask with Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with Sheena's WOW powder - Pearl Violet. I then used a mixture of H2O's and CosmicShimmers to colour - added some fibres and mounted on to the card with sticky pads. The bp is from a graphicus guild pack - the Harlequin is also a Judikins stamp and the sentiment stamp is from Docrafts. Pearls in the corner from my stash.
Thanks very much for visiting today. After I've caught up with some e mails I'll try to catch up with the blogs. Just need a spare day or two for that then.

CD Sunday Challenge - Luck of the Irish

I'm back after a quite eventful week away and beginning a month of being a Guest Designer on the
CD Sunday challenge blog. It's St Patrick's day on 17th March so this week the theme is 'Luck of the Irish'. My two cards have been made totally with CD's - the first one was done in Serif's Craft Artist Platinum and the second in quite an old version of The Print Shop. I used to use this cd to make all my cards until I was introduced to papercrafting in 2005 so it was a good chance to revisit the programme. The thing is - after playing with MCS, DSA and Craft Artist I realise that The Print Shop does an awful lot more than I ever did with it. I just didn't 'get it'.
I do hope you'll join in this week - I look forward to seeing your 'green' creations - and there's a £20 voucher from our sponsors this week - The Art of Craft - to be won.
I've dealt with this company before and can definitely recommend them as their service is excellent in my experience. They stock a great range of products too.
Thanks very much for visiting today.
