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

Christmas for Men

Good Morning,  my card to share today is for this weeks challenge at Bah Humbug - With Men In Mind. The image is an old unmounted one that I bought from ebay, so no idea of the make, stamped with Momento ink, the backing paper is from Artylicious Season's Greetings cd, the strips of paper are from CraftyAnn's new Crinkled paper set, the sentiment is computer generated and I finished the whole thing off with some gold Card Candy.  I know the card is for a man, but I have added a little Stickles Star Burst.

I followed Sketch124 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and as the image was stamped onto an offcut from my white scrap box and all the matting from the gold mirri scrap basket I am entering my card into Jule's Crafty Snippets Challenge - Week 41.

Thank you so much for visiting and for the lovely comments you have been leaving, they mean so much to me.
