CD Sunday Plus #49

 A new challenge for you all at CD Sunday Plus. I'm a bit late posting this but as it's my birthday I think I'll be forgiven!!

As usual it's Anything Goes as long as you use something from a CD , USB or digi download.

Here is my inspiration for you.



I have used the CD 'Say it with Words' from Ooh La La. The background paper is also from the CD. I had some dotty ribbon in my stash and thought I'd make a fancy bow to add a bit of interest. I love the quote. It says:

'Without the rain

There wouldn't be rainbows'


                                      This is very appropriate for the World at the moment.

I hope you will join our challenge this time and I look forward to seeing all your wonderful projects. If you visit and leave a comment, Thank You, Your comments are always read and appreciated.

                                                     Have a safe week and enjoy crafting !!

Unstampabelles #106

 A new month already and therefore it's time for a new challenge at Unstampabelles. 

The theme remains positive and we would like you to 'Believe' . This can be a person or a myth or fairy tale. the optional twist is to use an unusual fold. There is always a prize of a craft gift voucher for the random winner  and a top choice by the design team.

Here is my inspiration for you.




When asked by my children, ' Mummy, Do you believe in Santa Claus' My reply was/ is always 'Yes' Why? Because if you don't believe you won't get any presents!! This has always been my mantra!! And who doesn't love presents and the magic of Christmas. So 'Yes. I believe in Santa Claus'.

My unusual fold is a LONG card with a scalloped bottom. I don't make many of this size as I never have an envelope to fit. It was the same this time. So I had to make my own matching envelope.

I hope you'll be inspired to join our challenge. I look forward to visiting your craft blogs and reading about what you 'Believe' in.

Have  a crafty month and stay safe out there in this scary world!!


#48 CD Sunday Plus

 Time for a new challenge at CD Sunday Plus.

 I hope you are all staying sane during these 'challenging' times!!

Our challenge as usual is Anything Goes as long as you use, however small, something from either a CD, USB or digi download to support your project. Please remember, as fabulous as they are, no digi layouts only physical projects will be considered for our Top Three choices. This time our lovely leader Carol will be hosting and choosing the Top Three.

Here is my inspiration for you.





The card is A4 portrait orientation and the background and tag are from Hunky Dory. I used a lovely CD by Debbie Moore 'Art Deco Christmas Dreams' for the sentiment. It has a beautiful frame around it. This one will be winging it's way to my second cousin, Richette, in America. Richette. She treasures my handmade cards. 

Although a wee bit younger than me she is my Mum's cousin. Her Uncle emigrated to USA in the late 1800's and met his bride to be there, a lovely French lady, who's family had also emigrated at that time. I knew of them through family stories but noone had been in touch with them ever. I discovered them through Genes Reunited and the rest shall I say is history. 

Hope you are surviving lockdown again. Hopefully by Christmas things should be looking better. 

Remember 'HANDS, FACE, SPACE' will save lives.


Have a crafty week everyone xx
