Have a brew....

Another Sunday. Another CD Sunday challenge - this time chosen by Wendy M (Crafty Butterfly) who wants us to make something with 'Tea Time' in mind. I have used a Kanban clear stamp to make the main image and a Hobby Art clear stamp for the sentiment, both stamped with Adirondack Denim. The spotty bp is from a Tatty Teddy cd and the stripy bp was in my stash of bits and pieces so I'm afraid I can't remember which cd it came from. The piece at the bottom is My Minds Eye, creamy colour with little doilies on it which don't show up in the photo. There's some paper lace self adhesive border across the centre, a Sissix die cut and some card candy to finish off - oh - and the white mat behind the circle is the centre of a Cheery Lynne die.
I hope you'll be able to join in this week and I look forward to seeing what you come up with on the Tea Time theme.
Thank you for visiting today.

Edit: So - in my rush to get this posted while the internet was actually working (it's been down most of the the last two days) - I forget to add that I used the current Sketch n Stash sketch for his card and am duly entering it into the challenge. The previously unused item is the teacup stamp which I've had for about a year and has never seen ink before .

CD Sunday Challenge - Awash With Flowers

Our latest challenge on CD Sunday is 'Awash With Flowers' and was chosen by fellow teamie Carol.
I loved seeing you takes on the Feline Friends theme and will be choosing my top three in a day or so.For my card this week I have used the Docrafts Digital Designer Tatty Teddy cd's. The flowers were punched from some paper left over from the base mat, the swirls Marianne dies and the corner a Cuttlebug die. The sentiment is from a Rubbadubbadoo magnetic sentiment set, matted onto a nestie oval.
I hope you'll join in this week - remembering to tell us which cd you used in your creation if you do.
Thank you for visiting today.

Aw cute....

I'm scheduling this post as I'm off to visit my daughter in Luton on Friday morning. I hope it gets published on time as it's my turn to pick the theme for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge. I've chosen Feline Friends and this is my take on it. I found this image on a quite old Joanna Sheen CD called Animal Antics.For the background I used Craft Artist, found some flowers similar to those in the main image and made the border from them. The doily is a Cheery Lyn die, the corners Cuttlebug and the sentiment is from a Stampman set.The material that I used to make the border green border round the edge looks just like Coredinations  and lucky that I had some in the same colour to mat the image and sentiment onto. I hope you'll join in this week. If you do over the weekend I'll catch up after the weekend when I get back. There are some lovely 'Feline' cards made by my teamies so I hope you'll go check them out too.

Thanks very much for visiting.

Downhill Racers

Another week gone - another challenge over on the CD Sunday Challenge Blog. This week it's the turn of Caz to set the theme - and she's chosen Need for Speed. Somehow I think we'll be seeing a fair few men cards this week. I do hope you'll find the time to join in. Just remember to tell us which CD you have used in your project.
For my card the backing paper came from My Craft Studio and the main image I found in The Print Shop. I printed it onto 160 gsm copy paper and then sprayed it with Crafters Companion Spray and Shine. I wanted a glossy image but haven't got any Laser Photo Paper as yet. The sentiment was computer generated and then punched out with a nestie label, and the shiny turquoise braid I found in my stash.
Thanks very much for visiting.

I couldn't resist it...

The New Digital Designer Forever Friends DVD. I'm entering this card into the current Sketch n Stash Challenge . I've missed a few - just don't know where the time goes at the moment. It's not even as if I've got a big garden anymore - but I did cut the grass that I do have this morning.

Anyways, not a lot to say about this card as all elements are from the DVD (the new stash obviously) and I also had some Glamour Dust arrive in the post this morning. I GET it now and understand why it's popular. I did try Flower Soft Arctic White on the fur trim, but like everything else that I've flower softed (is that a word) it went in the bin. Now - Glamour Dust. I love it and wish I'd got it ages ago.

Thanks very much for visiting.

Allsorts with Funkyhand

A new month and a new guest designer for the CD Sunday challenge team. This month we a delighted to have Kevin as our guest DT member.I'm sure most of you will know be familiar with Kevin's great work - if not do pop across to his blog and take a peak.

We are very fortunate to be sponsored by Funkyhand this week. Anice has been kind enough to supply all the DT with a Funkyhand CD to work with and she is also offering one for the winner - their own choice from the Funkhand range of CDs. The theme is 'Allsorts' so I'm sure we'll get lots of entries this week - and I look forward to seeing them all.

I was lucky and got a CD I'd been promising myself since it came out - Wishes and Kisses.I already had Dreams Come True and I love the way you can switch between CD's while working on a project, but all the elements on my card are from the Wishes and Kisses CD. I used nestie circles to cut out and mat the image and sentiment. The middle layer of my punched flowers were made from the bp left over from the backing - and the leaves were cut with my new Cheery Lyn Olive Branch die.

Thanks very much for visiting.
