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

#105 Unstampabelles

 Good Evening or Good Morning everyone wherever you may be. Another month gone so it's time for our next challenge at Unstampabelles. Where has this year gone!! I for one will be glad when it's over as I've not been out of my house since March except for sitting in the garden. Hey Ho! Life eh!!

On to the next challenge. This time we would like you to think of the word INSPIRE!  In particular who or what inspired to get into the world of Paper Crafting. The Twist this time is to use the word Inspire on a Thank You card or Tag.

Here is my Inspiration for you.

My 'Thank You' tag is simply made using white card stock shaped with a corner punch. I covered it with paper from my stash. The 'Thank You' die is from Joanne Sheen added to a piece of red card stock. I googled the word Inspire and came up with this image with I snipped and mounted on to white card. Finally I punched a hole in the top and threading red string from my Christmas ribbon stash box.

When I started Paper Crafting with a passion I had no idea of the journey it would lead me on. I was first inspired by the technique of Pergamano. The delicate imagery that is created with this technique really appealed to me. As Paper Crafting began to take over my life I began wanting my creations to be completed more quickly. I found that Pergamano was time taking , beautiful but it needed time. So I expanded my techniques and knowledge to take on more Paper Crafting styles. I still have all my Pergamano tools and maybe one day I will go back to it. Who knows where our next path will lead us.

I hope you will enjoy taking part in this challenge. There is always a prize for the random drawn winner . Don't forget our one rule 'No Stamps please' We are UNSTAMPabelles.

Take care out there in this crazy world.

 Wash Your Hands, Wear a Mask and Keep your Distance!!! Then we will all stay safe.

Enjoy crafting !

 .....but in the courage to grow STRONG in the broken places."
