Yellow Roses

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - From Me To You.  It is a card for my best customer, Norman, to give to his Mam on her 80th Birthday.  The backing paper is from Sharon Duncan's Embossibilites Elegance cd and the decoupaged image is from The Big One cd..  The rose embellishment was sprayed with Gold Spray & Sparkle, the ribbon is from my stash, the numbers were cut with a Cuttlebug Alphabet and the sentiment is computer generated.

Thank you so much for visiting today and sorry I have not been around much recently.

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

Drummer Girl

Good Morning, my card to share today is for Sketch119 over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  The image is from Sandra Dry Digis (she has closed down now) coloured with a mixture of Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Copics, the diamond backing paper is CuddlyBuddly, the lighter backing paper is from Sharon Duncan Embossibilties, which I took into Craft Artis to match the colours.  It has got music notes all over it but they don't show up in the pic, finished off with Card Candy and a flower from my stash

Many thank for taking the time to visit

If Music be the Food of Love

My card today is for CraftyAnn's Challenge Blog, which is If Music be the Food of Love, with the option of using Food, Music or Love. I decided to go with music. The image is one of CrafyAnn's digistamps coloured with Promarkers and then sprayed with Crafter's Companion Spray and Shine. I gave it about four coats to get a glossy look to the guitar. The sheet music, which is stuck to an old cd is from Google. The music notes and circular tags are cuttlebug dies and I cut them out with gunmetal MirriSilk card. The backing paper is from one of Sharon Duncan's Embossibilities cds, the sentiments were computer generated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may wish to make. Beryl x

ps I have just been to link my card to the challenge and noticed that I have used the exact same image and very similar idea to the card made Kym, a GD for this challenge. I didn't take much notice of the DT cards when I wrote the challenge down last week. I would just like to say that in all honesty I didn't copy Kym's card.

Love

There are loads of Valentine's challenges out there this week, which is a bit of a shame for me, cos I only have one ordered and don't send them myself. So, I was quite happy to see that Ooh-la-la-Creations are asking for 'Love', this can be any kind of love, so my Wedding Card will hopefully fit the bill. The image is from Elusive Images stamped and embossed onto Opal Stardream card and then 3d'd onto nesties. The bp is from Sharon Duncan's latest Embossibilities cd printed onto Stardream paper. The leaves are punched and the flower, ribbon and flower gems come from my craft box. I sprayed the topper and the flower with Crafter's Companion gold glitter spray to give them a bit of oomph. The sentiments were computer generated and printed onto the Opal Stardream card and heat embossed with detail gold ep.

I think I can also enter my card into Crafty Ann's Metal Challenge this week. I have used Gold Mirror Card, Gold Embossing Powder and Gold Glitter Spray

Thanks for taking the time to visit and for leaving such great comments, which I love

Bad Blogger

Hi Folks, sorry I have been a really bad blogger lately. Not only have I not posted anything new, but also, have not been blog hopping. I have been busy making quite a few cards, but have not taken pics of most of them, and couldn't manage to get any to fit in with challenges.

Today's card is one I made for my youngest grand-daughter who was 2 at the beginning of this month (the little one in the bottom family pic). I used an early Sharon Duncan cd - Candy Girls which I have had for ages and never managed to use. The backing paper, image and flowers all come from the cd, the matting cs and glitter are from my stash and the alphabet is a Sizzlits one. I hope you like it and many thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and leave comments, especially with me being such a bad blogger.

Joanna Sheen Challenge

The challenge this week on the Joanna Sheen Forum was 'Paradise'. I just love this image, it is from the new Joanna Sheen/Sharon Duncan/Pamela West CD. This is the first card I have made from this CD, there are so many wonderful images on it that it is really hard to choose. The colours and the solitude are what attracted me to this image. I hope you like it and many thanks for dropping by. Beryl
