Hi,
This is our last challenge for this year, and I am the host for this fortnight, The challenge will close on the 22nd December and the winners will be announced next year.
For my card for this fortnight, I have used a free download from Debbi Moore magazine no 58, the Christmas tree I spent ages on, placing red, green and white gem stones in with silver stars all dotted around the tree. The art deco lady should have been standing in front of the tree but having spent so long on decorating the tree I have placed her to one side,   ..read more

Hi,
Last but one challenge for this year, I know it hard to say but it won’t be long before Christmas, the host this fortnight is Jo.
For my card I used a download from Opulence by Design, They have some wonderful designs on Facebook and instagram, this is a kit called Venetian masks, the art work is beautiful, I matted the images into gold card, made a spray with pink feathers, cut a gold fanciful flourish from a die by Cheery Lynn designs, cut out some of the flowers from the kit, added some pink ribbon.

Hi,
Today is my husbands birthday, after a very hard time since June, I can say things are beginning to get better, and he’s now having physio on his shoulder.
I made him this card, its a download from craftsuprint.com I love this set, there are four designs, and since we went to Scotland in April I just had to make him one of these cards with the highland cow and whisky bottle. I added some peel off hearts coming from the cows head.
It’s getting colder this week, just hope it’s a fine day.

Hi,
Time for another challenge at CD Sunday and this fortnight it is Pamela who will be the host
For my card this fortnight I have used an old CD popcorn bear disc 2 by My craft studio, I used the backing sheet and matching image, I used a stepper shape card from KatySue. I used the bear images and put them down the sides so they are poking out from the card, it maybe hard to see in the photo. I added a hand made blue bow at the top and used a flower edging die down the side from Printable Heaven, It is an old die I have not used for some time, &nb ..read more

Hi,
It’s a beautiful day now here in Somerset, I know I have not posted very much over recent weeks, and I would like to thank Janette for her lovely comment on my last post. Yes we are both ok, well ok’ish to be more correct.
As you know Vernon had an accident in June, it’s been a long time but we have now found out the damage to his shoulder in the last couple of weeks, he’s now going or will be having physio on the shoulder, no idea when that will start, if it takes as long as it was to find out what he did when he fell, he migh ..read more

Hi,
Here we are at the end of September, I have scheduled this post as I am away for the week. As usual it’s anything goes and the host this fortnight is Jocelyn.
For my card this fortnight I used a free download from craftsuprint, I enjoyed this card, but the top with the roses is very fiddly so I cut around and used a grey promarker to save some of the more fiddly bits and give a more stubble top, I also decoupaged the roses in the middle. I added a red ribbon bow
