CD Challenges - Sugar and Spice

At CD Sunday Challenges for the next week we would like you to create a project that reflects the wonderful title of  'Sugar and Spice' . Lots of interesting projects ahead I guess, the DT have made some wonderful cards for your inspiration. I made my card using an image from Paintbox Poppets by Crafter's Companions. The background striped paper is from Dreamees CD. My additional elements are 

Cakes from Flippen Women - the Dieter, La Pashe.  The Kitchenalia is from Crafty Individuals CI -340. I am so looking forward to seeing your creations, please have a fun time everyone. 

All About Birthdays

Well, it's almost here, Santa is ready, the reindeer are getting excited, but we at CD Sunday Challenges are thinking of those folk who despite the expected arrival of Santa  will also be celebrating a birthday, yes for this week we are All About Birthdays. This is Christine's choice, for which I say a personal thanks as my birthday is on 25th December, yes, Christmas Day. For my card, I first used Rob Adams CD - Fabulous Folds to make the main shape of the card. All the designed papers and greeting are from Crafter's Companions - Paintbox Poppets. Embellishments added, a piece of ribbon, two roses with leaves and 3 card candy.  Remember we do like to see something from a CD, it could just be a small embellishment or like me, the main part of your card. if you have time to join us, please have fun making your card. I wish all my followers who look in on this card a very Happy Christmas and for anyone who is having a birthday this week, I wish for you a very Happy Birthday.

Rainy Days

(1st post today)
Well we've had more than our (un) fair share of  Rainy Days during 2012, now it looks like we will be having a long winter too in the UK. My card was I believe designed for snow, but what is snow, other than  frozen rain, so I think I may get away with it. I have created many rainy drops with a drop here and there of Glossy Accents. The backing papers are all pieces of left overs from previous CD projects. I know I'm not the only one who holds on to pieces of card if it is above an inch square, thinking one day I'll use that. My aim during 2012 is to carry that ethos out to the letter. The pieces are from Painted Poppets CD, by Crafter's Companions. Sheena Douglass - Paint by Fusion and Debbie Moore - Shabby Chic - Haberdashery. I knew I'd use the left overs one day. LOL The stamp is from LOTV coloured with Promarkers. if you click on the picture to enlarge it, check out the flowers for they too have rain drops on them. I do look forward to visiting you for your cards always inspire me, I love to see what you have created.  Have fun using your CDs.

Beautiful Blue

Last week at CD. Sunday Challenges we had some fabulous entries for our Poetry Corner. This week Christine has chosen for the challenge Beautiful Blue. The Design team have produced, once again a beautiful and varied display for the challenge. I do love visiting the ladies who are reaching out and making use of their CDs, it is so heart warming to see so many variations, I am inspired and learn so much from many of the entries. Here is my card.............

Apart from a  few embellishments and the mirri card everything was taken from the Paintbox Poppets produced by Crafter's Companions. thanks ladies for all of your comments and welcome to my latest two new followers, I hope I will continue to maintain your interest.
