#4 'Anything Goes using a CD'

Good Morning. It's Sunday again and time for our next challenge at CD Sunday and it' my turn to host the challenge. As usual it's 'Anything Goes' as long as you use a CD to help you to create your project. Meg was our host last time and she's some fab creations from which to choose her Top Three. I don't envy your task Meg! Thank you to everyone who joined in the challenge.

It's my turn to host the challenge this time and  my inspiration for you is a card I was commissioned to make for a lady in Cyprus. She was one of my customers when I lived there and she contacted me here in the UK to ask if I could make a special card for her Grandson who is crazy about Dinosaurs.

This what I created using the CD 'Greeting Card Factory Deluxe'


 It's a 'Pop and Twist' card. If you search YouTube you can find lots of tutorials. I had great fun finding the Dinosaur images. This is the front of the closed card.


My brief was to find the some really scary ones!! Not sure if I quite did that but the customer was pleased so that's all you can ask for. The greeting and name were computor generated.

I hope you'll dust off those CDs and create something for this challenge. Remember it doesn't matter  which part of your creation you have used a CD for.......it could even be just the Greeting/Sentiment or a piece of background paper. A long as you have made use of a CD somewhere and you tell us which one you've used.

Thank you to all those who visit and comment. Your comments are always read and appreciated.

Have fun!!

#3 Anything Goes using a CD.

Good Morning everyone. I hope you are all keeping warm and have survived the snow. We didn't have any where I live so we were lucky. The US seem to be having it bad too. My crafting friends in sunny Australia tho are still enjoying their Summer!! Wish we were. What a crazy world!

It's time for our next challenge at CD Sunday. We had some fab entries last time....thank you to those who joined us. This time the challenge is hosted by Meg and again the theme is Anything Goes using a CD.

Here is my inspiration for you.


I made this card for a friend who adores cats. This image reminded me of her cat. I'm sure she'll love it. If you look closely you can also see some kittens on the calendar in the background. I used a CD from Joanne Sheen with artwork by Janet Kruskamp for both the image, background paper and greeting.

I hope you will join us this time and don'r forget to use something from a CD in your project however small. If you don't have a blog you can enter via our facebook page.

Any comments you make are always read and appreciated.....thank you. If you aren't a follower of my blog and you want to be please click the follower link in the sidebar.

Have a lovely week and keep warm


It's February 2019 and time for.....

......our first challenge of the year at Unstampabelles. We hope you've enjoyed teh break and are raring to go with some new and exciting challenges. We have lots of new design team members too. So please visit them and give them some love. You will find more info about them on the main challenge blog page Unstampabelles.

This time Susan would like to see projects that are 'Simply Bright and Cheerful' and the optional Twist is 'Arty Creations appreciated'.

The prize is a $15 Aus. Gift Certificate.



Here is my interpretation of the challenge.


I used some patterned card stock from Hunky Dory which I cut and folded to create a tall thin DL card. I thought the image looked like a painted work of art and it's bright and cheerful. I added a die cut greeting 'Just a note' from Joanne Sheen. I have sent this to a friend to tell her of our 'change of address'.
(For those of you who are new to my blog. We have recently moved back to the UK after living for almost 20 years in Cyprus)
. The bought change of address cards are always so boring to my eyes. Hence why I made my own.I hope you will be inspired to join us.

Don't forget we are UNstampabelles so no stamps please when you are making your project. This can be anything from greetings cards, scrapbook layouts, ATCs, altered artwork i.e notebooks, boxes. The sky's the limit just don't use stamps....this includes digis.

I look forward to visiting your blogs and if you leave a comment....thank you... they are always read and appreciated.

Happy Crafting!!
