A Sting In The Tail

Good Morning, it's Sunday and that means it's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday.  This week the ladies have chosen Zodiac as the theme.  I struggled with this one, I searched online for images but couldn't find anything that I liked.  So, out came Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams again.  I have gone with the image for Scorpio as this is my Mum's birth sign.  I didn't use the matching paper this time and have used a freebie download from Craft Creations.  The flowers and gems are from my stash and the punched border is from a bit of card in my scrap box.

Thank you for visiting today,

Under The Sea

Good Morning, well it's Sunday again and time for the CD Sunday Challenge.  This week the theme is Sea Life.   I have used an image from the first Jane Netley Mayhew cd from Joanna Sheen and teamed it with a patterned backing paper from Cuddly Buddly and a piece of matching plain paper that I put through the Cuttlebug.  I decided to go with the shell image as I remembered the bag of shells that I bought at my local craft shop ages ago and yep this is the first time I have used any of them!  The sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you can all come and joing us again this week, and many thanks for visiting my blog today.

Happy New Year

Hi everyone, I am sorry to have been absent for so long, but I haven't been well over Christmas.  I had the flu and now I have an ear infection, so am a bit cheesed off.  Anyhow we are now into 2012 and hopefully things will improve from now on.  So, onto this week's Guest Designer card for CD Sunday.  The challenge this week is O for the Olympics.   We are being sponsored this week by Sharon Duncan.

I have chosen Rowing as my Olympic Sport, the image is from Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia cd, the backing paper is from Sharon Duncans Elegance Embossabilities cd, the cardstock is from my stash and I have finished off with Card Candy.

I don't usually make new year resolutions but I have decided that this year I must stop buying crafting goodies and must unearth some of my long lost forgotten stash.  Whilst packing up my craft stuff for the Christmas period I came a across stuff  that was still in it's original wapping, incuding stamps that have never seen any ink!

Once again a Happy New Year to each and everyone of you

A Late Entry

Good Morning, sorry I've not been around this past few days, the Labrynthitis came back with a vengeance and it has taken a while for the pills to kick in.  I must say a huge thank you to Crafty Ann for my top 3 place on her challenge blog, I am thrilled to bits, especially as this is the third time.

I am posting a very quick and very late Christmas card for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Sunset.  The card with the backing paper has been sitting around since last Christmas, the paper is from the Artylicious Seasons Greetings cd.  I printed the image from Joanna Sheen's Thomas Kincade cd and made the topper last Monday, so all I had to do to make the card was add some gold ribbon from my stash, then stamp and emboss the sentitment from a Woodward Greetings set.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to visit you all again very soon

Black and Blue

Good Afternoon from a gloriously sunny Shetland, it is absolutely beautiful got all the doors and windows open.  I also had a problem taking the pic of my card because it is so bright.  My card is for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - Black and Blue.  The backing paper is from Debbi Moore's Art Deco Christmas cd from last year, the image is from Chocolate Baroque, stamped with archival blank ink onto a piece of card in my white scrap box.  The flower is from my stash and I cut the swirl out from an offcut of blue card.

I am also entering my card into Jules' Crafty Snippet Challenge and Ooh La La Creations - Punches or DieCuts

M is for Motor Racing.

Good Morning, my card to share today is for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - Alphabets - M.  My M stands for Motor Racing.  The image is from Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia CD, which I took into Craft Artist and turned  into black and white.  The backing paper is from Cuddly Buddly, computer generated sentiment and Card Candy to finish off.  Sorry it's not a very good pic, but I have already given this card to my customer so can't take another.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Inspired by Peacocks

Good Morning, my card to share today is for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - Inspired by Peacocks.  I decided to wander through Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams and came upon a few peacock images to play with.  As you can see, I haven't gone with an obvious peacock image or colour.  I fell in love with this image and it does have a couple of peacock feathers on it. Then I went through the embellishment section of this cd and found the fairy riding on the back of a peacock butterfly, I used Versamark and clear embossing powder to give it a gloss finish. The backing paper is from Debbi Moore's Fairyland cd, I had a piece of this left over from another project and thought that I had splattered some ink on it and put it on my craft table for scrap paper: only to find that the little marks are actually supposed to be there.  The gems are from my stash and the sentiment computer generated.

Thank you very much for visiting today and for any comments you might wish to make

Dreams

Good afternoon, recently I had a very productive spell and managed to take pics of all the cards I had made.  Which is good because I have a load of card pics in a folder that have never been on my blog and am now able to enter into an occasional challenge whilst not being able to craft easily at the moment.  Once again a very short post, as I am spinning around a bit, I tried to watch the Grand Prix earlier - not a good idea! 

My card  is for this week' CD Sunday Challenge - Dreams.  The image comes from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams CD, I love the images on this one.  The full size bp is from an different image on the same CD, but I took it into a graphics programme and lightened it.  The offset bp is Cuddly Buddly, the butterflies are a Cuttlebug cut and emboss set and were cut from some card painted with very cheap Tesco pearlescent paint, the ribbon was coloured with a Promarker and the ribbon slide came from Wild Orchids. 

Thanks for stopping by

Handbags

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is for the challenge at CD Sunday - Handbags.  The image is made up from three stamps which I think are Elusive Images now Chocolate Baroque, I have had them for ages.  Took quite a while to get the arrangement just right, lots of masking.  I have coloured using Promarkers and the new fine tips were just brilliant to pick up the tiny flowers.  The backing paper is from Card Creations+ Art Deco cd, the plain bp is from CraftyAnn, the flowers, leaves, pearls and hatpins from my stash, the sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting and leaving me such lovely comments.
