Hi everyone, thanks for your visit. Today I am posting a card 

to enter into the current challenge at CD Sunday challenge blog,

which is Get Well Wishes.

A white scallop 6" card. Background papaer from my stash.

The remainder papers are from a Joanna Sheene CD.

artist - Janet Kruskamp.

I decoupaged the centre of the table, which sadly doesn't show

on the photo, but the coffee pot, cup and strawberries are more

shaped than flat. 

If I was poorly, this is the scene I could look at all day and be content. 

Thanks again ladies for a wonderful challenge.

Food and or Drink

Hello again, another week has passed us by and it's time for the challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. This week, Kim has chosen for us Food and or Drink. Please check out the blog for the team have created some lovely cards for your inspiration. For my card I thought along the lines of thanking a cook for a wonderful meal, I am hoping you have all  had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have enjoyed your Thanksgiving meals across the pond and for those who may have celebrated here in the UK. Maybe this card would be suitable for you. I cut half of the front cover off to show the pretty food scattered paper on the inside. The chef is decoupaged which adds more interest.  The wording is ' Thank you - Serving Up A Feast'.  The papers are from a Janet Kruskamp CD, produced by Joanna Sheene.  Thanks for visiting, which is greatly appreciated that you took the time. 

Birthday Card for a Male

Hello again, welcome back. For the next two weeks at CD Sunday Challenges we would like to see a Birthday Card for a Male. At one time thee was so little to choose from other than mostly sport type cards for men. Thank goodness there is now a much bigger variety available. My OH, and I suspect he is not alone, enjoys a good glass or red wine, along with a divine cheese board with all trimmings. I found this wonderful image on a Joanna Sheene produced CD - the artist being Janet Kruskamp.I decoupaged the chef with all of his balanced goods.  There is such a wide variety available on this CD. Please do pop and check out the inspiration provided by the Design Team and remember you must use something if not everything from a CD. Have fun, I again look forward to visiting your blog. 

On The Beach at CD Sunday Challenges

Maybe we in the UK have had our summer now, but memories of days On The Beach keep us smiling. This week the subject at CD Sunday Challenges  is my choice, so before we put away our summer clothes let's have some more time On The Beach. The background and main image on my card are from the very pretty Christine Haworth images  - on Paintbox Poppets, produced by Joanna Sheen. I added half of the layers of decoupage provided, a few stamped sea shells from Coast - Creative Expressions. I am looking forward to seeing your projects, have fun everyone. 

Kimono

Hello everyone, I am sorry my picture is not to the usual standard but my photographer and editor is still in hospital as I prepare this page to be scheduled for 16th June for my choice of Kimono for your challenge this week at CD Sunday Challenges. I chose Kimono for I have always enjoyed making Oriental cards and there are many good Oriental CDs around to choose your images. Did you know that    "The kimono (着物) is a Japanese traditional garment worn by men, women and children. The word "kimono", which literally means a "thing to wear".  For my card the main image is from Joanna Sheen Oriental Dreams, which is matted onto black and gold card. The overlapping fans are from an Oriental set of stamps from See D stamps. The string of beads are a mixture of varied beads from my stash and some paper beads, which are so easy to make and very effective.  I found this You Tube video , if you want to give it a try.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bPsp6lfIV8
I look forward to again visiting you to view your Kimono projects. Thanks for visiting me and for any comments you leave.
