together so well, especially for the guyz.

Trendy Blue Lifestyle - from The Works. 

Blue card cut with an oval die.

Hello everyone, this is my second post for today, the previous one 

was also for a DT card for another challenge.

I have used a topper and background papers from my go to CD

The man and his dog have been decoupaged.

I have added Glossy Accents to the rain drops. 

Hope you have fun making your card. 

Through a Window

Hello everyone, thanks for your visit. 

Today is the first day of the challenge for the next two weeks at

Make My Monday

I had great fun with this challenge which is.....

Through A Window

The Design Team have again created wonderful inspiration.

Please pop over to check out the challenge blog.

For my card, I have created a window looking into a cafe.

I covered the front of a 6" square card with brick paper, from 

my go to CD - The Best of La Pache 2012.

I used a circle die to create the aperture.

I covered the inside of the front with acetate, adding the 

strips of white card  for the  wooden window sections.

On the cut out for the aperture I stamped 

LOTV - Coffee Break

Coloured with Promarkers.,

Glued the circle to a piece of card, then added to the  inside of the card.

CAFE is die cut using Sapphire Alphabet Upper case letters.

Humourous Birthday

Hello,  thanks for your visit which is well appreciated. 

Today at Ruby's Rainbow Challenges, the challenge for the next 

two weeks is ..............

A Humourous Birthday

The Design Team have been ahving fun, choosing their 

images for their wonderful cards. Please, pop and check them out.

For my card, I have used a 6" sq card, I know they are my favourite, 

mainly for taking the photographs for display.

The papers and decoupaged image are all from one CD

La Pashe - ~The Best of La Pashe 2012

The sentiment says ...............

Growing Old is Madatory - But Growing up is Optional

inside the card I have added

Old Enought to Know Better - Yound Enough to Till Do It!

Background paper from Kanban plus some Card Candi. 

Sprinkle of Snowflakes

Here I am again playing with my CD's to make another Christmas
card which fits in perfectly with the current challenge at
CD Sunday Challenges
Sprinkle of Snowflakes
It really is a shame, no matter how I have photographed the card
there is no way it can clearly show the decoupage of the birds and the
bird table, nor sadly does the amount of glitter on the ares of snow
appear as glistening as they are.
The background paper and the image are from my go to CD -
The Best of 2012 - La Pashe
White scallop edge card, Silver mirri card to mat card and image.
Thanks Wyn  for a lovely challenge.

There are more on the CD, always handy to make the quick card you need in a hurry. Have fun. 

Food or Drink

At My Time To Craft for this next week we are challenging you to create any project with the theme of either Food or Drink or maybe even both. What a huge choice this has left for you. Please pop over to the blog to check it our and to see the amazing inspiration from the Design Team. Yummee!! What could be better than swinging in a hammock on a summer's day, drinking your favourite soft drink and enjoying your favourite pizza?  This is exactly the case on my card, thanks to 'The Best of La Pashe' 2012. I have added extra layers of toning blue papers from my stash. I used red card for the contrast to make the card brighter.
Thanks if you took the time to pop in to see my card, I do appreciate everyone who gives that support. I will be looking in to leave my comments on your entries, have fun and I do hope you enjoy the challenge.

Food, Glorious Food

For the next two weeks our challenge at CD Sunday Challenges will be  Food, Glorious Food, chosen by Wynn. I apologise for bringing to the gallery a Christmas card, I know it's only July, and a hot one too, but we have to get started sometime with our cards. You will no doubt spot, I have been making the C cards for a few weeks now, sshh! don't tell anyone but this will be my 42nd prepared card. Still have many more to make for my charity box, family and friends. It is amazing how many cards can be made from  one CD - ' The Best of La Pache 2012' - including my DT card above. The background paper is from a Papermania Christmas pack, red ribbon added, the card then decoupaged. I added Glossy Accents to the holly, jam, garland and of course the Christmas pudding. I look forward  to visiting your blog to admire your Food, Glorious Food.   Have fun and happy crafting.

Gone Fishing

This week at Cardz 4 Guyz Janice in the US has chosen for us GONE FISHING - I believe this is the most popular sport for men in the UK, not sure about it in the US.  If your new to the male orientated blog you will know we accept any medium, technique, we are happy for you to either stay in your comfort zone or experiment. To this purpose this week, I decided to make a card using an old favourite of mine, and again I believe one of the most popular forms of card making and that is decoupage.  My card is made from papers and the decoupaged image from a CD 'The Best of La Pache 2012' which is a wonderful source for a wide variety of topics. I really can't say I designed the card, for I did follow a format from the CD, but I did make the card. So whatever you choose to do, check out the wonderful DT inspiration over on the blog, for there are various formats of techniques. Hope you'll join in with the challenge, Looking forward to visiting you. 

A Blue Christmas

I made this cute card a few days ago which suits several challenges.

Sweet Stampin - Feeling Blue

Here Come the Boys - A Blue Christmas

Crafty Cardmakers - Christmas Snow and Ice

The papers and image are from the CD The Best of La Pache 2012, the cute greeting is a stamp from LOTV. I have edged all the pieces with Broken China DI. Added Glamour Dust for the Snow and Ice. Thanks to all challenge groups for the inspiration from their design teams. 

Aged to Perfection

It's thanks this week at CD Sunday Challenge to Sue B for choosing our challenge which is Aged to Perfection, now of course this is once again left to your imagination, for there are a few things which do get better with age. However, the moment I saw the makings of this card on The Best of La Pache 2010 CD, I wanted to make a card. I have kept it fairly simple from printing it out for I think the the way the couple are with each other tells their story. I stamped Congratulations onto a banner stamp, and added a printed sentiment, On Your Special Day. I also used a sheet of pale lilac card and purple card printed out from Sheena Douglas Paint Fusion CD, to mat and layer the main image. Have fun everyone looking forward to visiting you, during the next week. 

Bundle of Joy

CD Sunday Challenges are this week challenging you to create a project by using a crafting CD for a Bundle of Joy. I am pleased to say, The Best of La Pashe 2012 hasn't let me down yet. Of all of the CDs I have this is my only one which could provide for this week's challenge. I decided, as I was making a card, why not two,  a blue one and a pink one, then if I put them somewhere safe (LOL) I will be prepared. I made a blue and pink card with toning background papers, layered twice with a silver mirri card. I added glitter to the crib, bows and curtains and for that extra embellishment a few paper flowers. The blue Congratulations is with the printout, the Congratulations on the pink card is from a stamp which was free with a magazine. I look forward to visiting you to see what you have found from a CD and how your have achieved the challenge. Have fun ladies and of course any gents who may be taking part. 

Hugs and Wishes

For this week's challenge at CD Sunday challenges which is Hugs and Wishes, I honestly looked at many CDs to find a suitable image, as many as I found, I still returned to The Best of La Pache 2012 for in my mind I had transferred the title to Hugs and Kisses so this felt perfect. Once I realised it was Wishes and not Kisses I thought well maybe it is as equally appropriate for there may be a case of lots of wishes going on here. It is decoupaged, I do hope no one is offended for I found it very amusing. I again look forward to visiting your blogs for I greatly enjoy seeing what everyone has found to suit the title as well as the wonderful creations made. Have fun everyone.
