CD Sundays Christmas

I have rarely entered the CD Sunday challenge due to lack of time, but this week I found I had a few spare minutes and already had some images printed off. The challenge is usually anything goes but this week they are looking for Christmassy cards!

I had a couple of images left fom a page I had printed out earlier in the year from Joanna Sheen's Victorian christmas CD. This is one of the smaller images. I mounted it on to some icy blue glitter paper and then a white mat, which I wrapped with some matching ribbon. It was going to be added to a white card blank but it just looked too stark so I stamped some snowflakes round the edge.I added a couple of die cut glitter snowflakes which were lurking on my desk, and a pale blue gem in the middle.

I've actually written and sent all my cards this year so I'm getting a head start on next year's!

Animal Antics @ Cardz 4 Guyz

Hello there, it's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz. The theme this week is Animal Antics chosen by Sian.

I have quite a few animal stamps but thought it would make a change to use something from a CD and the idea of a dog baking appealed to me. I mounted it onto some dark blue card, then instead of a yellow mat I put it at an angle underneath. The matching backing paper was also off the CD, which is a Joanna Sheen one - Pamela West.

Why don't you join us over at the challenge, just remember your card must be for a guy, young or old!

In the Country - Cardz 4 Guyz

I am so glad that spring seems to have arrived at last! The last few days have been lovely - the down side is that I am going to have to cut the grass!

But enough of that it is time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and it is my turn to choose the theme. I have gone with "In the Country", lots of choice there I hope.

I decide to dust off one of my Joanna Sheen CDs - Jayne Netley Mayhew and printed off this sweet picture of two mice stocking up for winter. I added some raffia and some leaves from my stash and mounted it all onto a side fold A2 kraft card blank.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you create, and as always there is more inspiration on the challenge blog.

 

Get Well Card

A get well card for my grandson when he had his grommets put in. The tent card came from QVC and the image and papers are from Joanna Sheen's Messy Rabbit CD Rom.

Meerkats!

Well I'm back from holiday now and all the washing done! So thought I'd upload a card I made before I went away.. I made it for my BIL's birthday and as he is very fond of meerkats I thought this image from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew cd was just perfect. The backing paper was from there as well. The border /ribbon is a Martha Stewart punch.

Egyptian card

This year I had no idea what sort of card to make OH and in the end decided to make one to remind him of our winter sunshine break. The image is off the Joanna Sheen Egyptian Adventures CD and the sentiment is attached on some real papyrus!

Happy New Year

 

A Happy New Year to you all!  I thought I'd show this card made for my partner's daughter. I used the Joanna Sheen Ivory cats CD - I think some of the images on it are gorgeous - very rich colours. Although it doesn't really show up very well it is quite heavily decoupaged.

Marvellous Meerkats!

My OH is very fond of watching Meerkat Manor so when I saw this image on the Jayne Netley Mayhew CD from Joanna Sheen I just knew it would be perfect for him. I printed the sandy backing paper onto pearlescent paper and the meerkat paper onto vellum. It looks a bit washed out on here but the background is really a light greenish colour.
