Bah! Humbug! Guest Designer Spot!

Good morning all, well it's Friday and it's October so it's my turn to do a DT spot over on

Bah! Humbug!.

The ladies decided to use the theme across the miles so with that in mind I've done a card for the family in Oz, I used the new MCS disc Walk in Winter Wonderland and made it into an easel card, it doesn't really show but I've used quite a bit of glitter across the sky and the snowflakes are cut from glitter card.

Hope you can join in with this challenge and I'll be visiting your blogs to see what wonderful creations you all come up with.

CD Sunday - Buttons and Bows

Good morning all, yet another Sunday so it means we've got a new challenge for you over on CD Sunday, this week it's BUTTONS AND BOWS. As usual you can make anything you like and you can join in even if you have only used a simple element as long as something comes from a cd.

Please make sure you let us know which cd you have used and don't forget we have only got 3 weeks until our 1st sponsored challenge so dust off your cd's and lets see those entries.

This week I have used the MCS cd A taste of lavender and paper lace, I don't have the full version just the one that was offered for free on their web site I just had to pay the postage, unusualy for me I haven't played about with the image and just printed it off as it came, the two little flowers are from a bag of buttons I was given years ago and the bow is from a huge spool of white ribbon which I keep and usually colour to match my project.

Two for Saturday

I'm treating you to two cards today, I've been so busy that I've not had much time to post so am making an effort today. The first card is for a friend in work who asked for several cards to be done but this one was wanted urgently for obvious reasons.

I have never made an acceptance card before but MCS came to the rescue, the invitation had hearts on it and one of those was pink so when I found this image I didn't have to do anything to it as I thought it was perfect. I just added a bit of ribbon and some pearls then cut a couple of hearts on the cuttlebug and put them through the swiss dots embossing folder and it was done. Simple but I was pleased with it and so was my friend.

The wedding card is one I've made for one of the guys in work, he was so excited about his upcoming wedding which was so lovely to see. Once again the background was done with MCS and here I have tried out the embossing and I think it's quite effective, in fact I showed it to one of my workmates and she ran her fingers over it expecting to feel texture. The corners were cut on the cuttlebug and the image I have used several times and it's from Mo's Digital Pencil and th gems were plain but coloured with a gold coloured promarker.
