Top Three for Recycling (well 4 actually)

Carol has chosen her top three but they have turned into the top 4, here is what she said,

1st - Tess

I cannot make up my mind for second and third from the follwing 3.
Sue
Pauline
Margaret

so just this once I would like a threeway tie for second. If I sat at it all week I couldn't decide. They are all so good.

So ladies if you have already got it take the top three button and display it on your blogs, and thank you for being so good. xx

Good morning can you believe it's now March and here we are with another challenge, another sponsor and another guest.

Thank you all so much for your beautiful entries from last week you certainly embraced the recyling theme and came up with lots for Carol to get her brain working on choosing her top three.

This week we have a lovely sponsor who has sponsored us before but this time they have a brand new cd out and this is what is going to be up for grabs, the team have all made something from the cd so you get to see some of what is on it. Just click on the link if you want to go and see what else the company has to offer.

As we are starting a new month we also have another guest for you, Pamela has been with us before and seemed to enjoy it so she came back for another go, I know you'll like what she does so as is normal we will start with her this week. Pamela has made three cards to start us off.

Jenny

All the above are taken from the Imagine cd from Elegant Inspiration and this is where we got our title for the challenge from. I hope you find this an easy challenge, just think if you can imagine it then you can create it., it could be anything your heart desires. I do hope you have enjoyed looking at our samples and will join us and possibly win a copy of this cd for yourself. As usual you can make anything you like for the challenge but please remember to use a little something from a cd and link your post back to this site.

Wendy P has chosen her top three for last weeks challenge and she has a little something for her 1st choice so please get in touch at the email address at the top of the page.

5 - Laney
7 - Michelle JM
6 - Sues Crafty Corner

Good morning all and welcome to CD Sunday on the last Sunday in February, as it's the last Sunday of the month it means we will be losing the lovely guest we've had and yes we will miss her as she has produced some lovely things and this week is no different so thank you Jen and also thank you for rescuing me once I'd realised I'd not got any guests lined up.

This week the theme is recycling and the team have come up with some good ideas but I have to say a huge SORRY because I've not been well and haven't made anything so there are fewer things to look at but all are equally good.
Ok we'll crack on with the teams samples and hopefully there will be some inspiration there to persuade you to join us, as usual we will start with our guest.

I am hoping that normal service will resume next week as I don't plan on being ill for too long. Have fun and please leave us a message after you've linked your work.

Top Three for L is for ..........

Wendy has chosen her top three and this week she has chosen the following

10     Carol
1      Beryl K
13     Pauline

Good morning all and welcome to another challenge here at CD Sunday, we all loved your entries last week in the L is for..... challenge and it's surprising how many things you can find to interpret the theme. Some of the things I looked at were very obvious so why didn't I think of them? Sometimes I go into panic mode and think that I can't find anything that fits but once you get going there is an abundance of things to fit most challenges.

This week we have chosen Wings and Legs as our theme, well I say we but I really mean Wendy P as we all take a turn in choosing something that way we get a good variety as we all have very different ideas.

The team has once again been joined by Jen and this week her contribution is a scrapbook page but I think it would make a lovely birthday card if it was down sized, have a look and see if you agree with me. As usual we will start with Jen's page and hope that the teams efforts are to your liking and you will join us again as your support is greatly appreciated.

As you will see Christine is still missing but they will be moving to another area in the next week or so and hopefully the connection will be better there so she will be able to join us again.

I do hope you like the teams interpretation of the theme and of course we want you to show us you can do better, don't forget to add something from a cd and link back to us in your post.

Top Three for A LA Mode

Good evening all, so sorry but once again I am missing my team mates input and not been pushed to announce the top three for A La Mode, not sure what is happening to the time as it seems to be dissapearing at a great rate at the moment and I'm behind with everything.
Anyway Carol has very kindly stepped in and chosen a top three for the week and they are as follows:

1st - Michelle - No8
2nd - Margaret - No12
3rd - Meg - No10

Michelle please email us at the address at the top of the page and Carol will send a small gift put to you.

Good morning and welcome to this weeks CD sunday challenge which this week has been chosen by Wendy M. We are going with a letter this week and as it's so near to Valentine's day Wendy thought you may all be in the mood for love so chose the letter L. Having said that most of the team have steared away from the obvious choice just to show you that we are not limited once you start to think about it.

Last week we had some beautiful entries and I'm just glad I'm not choosing the winner of the top three, we were also sponsored last week so we have a prize to give away and once again the lucky person has been chosen over at Random.org. The prize on offer is any cd from the Ooh La La range so no danger of you getting something you've already got. The winner this week is number 5 which is Linby, please email us your details to the address at the top of the page and we'll sort your prize out for you.

Now onto this week's challenge and we are still happy to say we have Jen from Time Out Crafting with us and she so enjoyed this weeks theme she has done a card and a scrapbook page so we will start with her.

Please remember to link back to us in your post and to tell us what cd you have used, don't forget that that other entrants visit your blogs too and if they see something they haven't got it does help to know what they are looking for. Thanks!

TAG YOU'RE IT! Top Three

Hello and here I am again a day late posting last weeks choice for our top three, well I say our choice but what I really mean is Jocelyn's choice. The tag you're it challenge was quite a surprise for me because I don't really like tags much, so, seeing your designs has made me think again and I will try to use them a lot more.

1. Sue (No. 11)

2. Vron (No. 12)

3. Margaret (No. 5)

Now Jocelyn has a bit of a prize for our top spot so just the usual please drop us an email to the address at the top of the page and it will be wqinging it's way to you in no time.

Good morning bloggers and challengers, well it's Sunday again so another new challenge for you all to make you think and as it's the 1st Sunday of the month we are being sponsored.
This week we are sponsored by the lovely Ooh La La, now they have been very generous and sponsored us before so we know that you like what they do because the last time they joined us was a popular challenge. This time they have been very generous to the team and given us some images from one of their latest cd's Shoes in Bloom 2. We have really enjoyed using the designs and know that you will want to be in with a chance of winning a cd of your choice, so if you've had your eye on one of the wonderful cd's in the range now is the chance to be in with a chance of getting it.

Last week we said goodbye to Beryl who was with us for two months, we did this for two reasons, one was December was only two challenges and the other reason was we loved her designs. now this month we have asked a previous guest to come back and do it all again and I know you will be blown away with some of the designs she has in store for you.

This week we will be doing A La Mode, the whole of the team has used one of the Ooh La La designs but feel free to interpret the theme as you wish.

We will start as usual with our guest and this month we have the lovely Jen from Time Out Crafting with us so here we go.

Jen

Carol

I hope you like what we've done for you and that you will be able to come and join us after all without you there wouldn't be a challenge.

Top Three for the Zodiac challenge

Well I've just made in time today to give you the top three from last week's challenge 'Zodiac'

I have chosen my top three and you lot sure had me going backwards and forwards because I can honestly say I liked each and everyone of the entries.
I have chosen not by who had the best technique or the straightest lines on the matting and layering but by which cards jumped out and said look at me.
My first choice was the most difficult but here is the list, and can you email me with your addy Bren as I will have a little something for you by way of a small token for joining us.
1st Number 2 Bren
2nd Number 13 Trish
3rd Number 12 Linda

Hello everyone and welcome to another week on CD Sunday, this is the last week for January so it's also the last week for Beryl our lovely guest designer for December and January. Beryl has inspired us with some wonderful cards and just wait until you see this weeks, she's ending her run with a bang.

Last week we asked you to make something with a zodiac theme and although I did wonder if it would be popular you came up trumps so I didn't need to have worried, once again your entries were inspiring and I noticed a few things that I will borrow from time to time.

Now I'm a bit of a numpty as I totally forgot to organise anyone for the guest spot next month so if you fancy having a go and can work at short notice give me a shout on my personal email which is starcyl2@gmail.com and I'll get back to you straight away.

Now onto this week and it's Jocelyn's turn to choose the theme which as you've seen is Tag You're IT! now you may think it's an unusual topic but once you've seen the teams cards you will see it's not so difficult so please have a go and give Jocelyn something to choose her top three from.

We'll start this weeks cards with Beryl, I'm sure you'll love the whole teams ideas.

Enchantment Top Three

Hopefully Blogger will behave and you'll get to see the top three this week which has been chosen by Christine. Now the lucky lady is in Spain at the moment but she wanted to say that she will still have a little gift for the top spot but you may have a bit of wait for it as she doesn't get home until April. She tells me that the choice was as usual quite difficult but in the end she has narrowed it down to :

Number 9 Pauline
Number 12 Caroline
Number 6 Jen

Well done ladies and if you haven't already got it displayed take the top three banner for your blog.

Good Sunday morning and welcome to another challenge here on CD Sunday.

I can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by and before we know it spring will be here and we'll be able to get out into the garden and repair the ravages of winter. For now though I suggest we all just stay in and craft, and hopefully join us for this weeks challenge.

Last week we had some beautiful entries so thank you for those and Christine will be choosing her top three during the next couple of days. Talking of the top three we seem to have had a bit of a glitch and the top three for Sea Life didn't appear. I think everytime Blogger gets some sort of enhancement things go haywire for a while.
So, sorry for the ommission but Wendy did choose a top three and here is the list:

14 Emma Woods
13 Hazel
3 Sue

Please display the top three logo on your blogs.

Now onto this weeks challenge, which is my choice of Zodiac. I have quite a few cards to make and I know that people like to get cards with their star sign on so it's a bit of an indulgence really.
We still have our lovely lady from the scottish highlands with us and as usual she has produced another stunner of a card so we will start with her again this week.

2012-01-15T08:00:00.000Z

Good morning all, another Sunday another challenge and after last week we are expecting great things from you all.
Thank you so much for your lovely entries last week, we saw some fabulous things and good to see more people joining in and doing things other than cards, although cards are our first love.

Now onto this week and we have a theme chosen by Christine, so you know who to blame if you don't like it, lol. We as a team have enjoyed making things for this challenge so hopefully you will too, enchantment can mean so many things to so many people so let your imagination take flight and show us what it means to you.

We still have our lovely guest Beryl with us and as usual we will be starting with her this week.

There is a little something for you Janet so get in touch and claim your prize.

Now at the start of the current challenge I promised you a cd for the winner but as we are running the challenge over two weeks we have decided that there will be two draws, one on Sunday this week and then another one at the end of the challenge. So if you have been over to the web site of Elegant Inspiration and had a look and fancy getting your mitts on a copy without having the shell out any of your hard earned cash then come and join us. all entries will go into both draws apart from the winner of the first week.

*******************************************

Good morning everyone and it's another Sunday but also another month so that means another sponsored challenge. This month we are sponsored by Elegant Inspiration, a new company with some great ideas and their new cd is proof of this. Not only are there lovely images to inspire you but there are cutting files for use with electronic cutting machines or to print and cut by hand.

Jo has given us a cd for the prize so get your thinking caps on and join us so you too could win a copy, the design team have been given a copy each but the cd's didn't get to all of the team members in time for them to do anything this week but because December is such a busy month for everyone, our challenges will be running for two weeks so we will all have something more to show you from the cd next week.

We have a new guest designer with us this month and we have the lovely Beryl who has agreed to stay with us for January too so you will get to know her quite well I think. To start her stay off with us she has written a small bio which I know you will all be interested in reading so here we go.

Hi, I am Beryl and live in the beautiful Shetland Islands, the most northerly part of the UK, in the summer we experience the most wonderful white nights , but this time of the year our days are really short. I am English and married to Robert who is Scottish, between us we have 6 children and 11 grandchildren. I have been crafting in one way or another most of my life, the usual stuff knitting, sewing, crochet. In 2000 I got my first computer and it came with a greetings card programme installed on it, and I had a play and have never bought a greetings card since. Admittedly, looking back they were a bit naff lol.

About 8 years I was bored picked up the Sky remote and did some channel hopping. I landed on Create and Craft, it had only just been launched. I watched a man from the English Stamp Company turn a dirty grey looking powder into something magical and that was it - I was hooked. By watching on a regular basis I discovered the many different ways of cardmaking, including cds. At first I wasn't too keen on cd crafting, it felt a bit like cheating, then I realised it was a wonderful resource and now I have cds all over the place, some I haven't even taken out of the packaging. I have been blogging for a few years now and enjoy taking part in various challenges. I have been taking part in CD Sunday since about March/April, and was thrilled when Christine contacted me and asked if I would like to be GD. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

I hope our efforts over the next two weeks will inspire you both to join us and to go and look at the cd, it's fab. We will start as usual with our guest and as Beryl already had a copy of the cd she has been able to use it to make her contribution.

TOP THREE TREES

Here I am again and I'm a day late, so very sorry can I just blame it on old age as I seem to be forgetting lots of things at the moment.

Anyway onto the top three for the trees challenge, this week it is Weny P's turn to choose her favourites and she has decided that her top three are as follows

Jenny Pearson (3)
Ann Whitfield (11)
Trish (17)

Now Wendy does have a little something for our top spot so if you can send us your snail mail then she can get your prize off to you. Well done Jen another winner.

Good morning all, these Sundays are coming around far too quickly for my liking but one good thing is that it means we can open up a new challenge for you.

You all seemed to like last weeks challenge and oh my what a fabulous choice for the top three, glad it's not me choosing this week or it would be me up all night backwards and forwards cos there are so many I loved last week.

This week is the last week for our lovely guest Sue, she has been a fabulous guest with some great ideas so I'm sure you'll agree with me that she will be more than welcome if she wants to come back and do it all again next year.

This week we are going on safari and once again the design team have been busy, look out for Carol's card as it did make me smile when I saw it, a novel take on the theme.

I hope you can join us and maybe even get one of those dreaded men's cards out of the way as it is an ideal theme for the gents. We will start as usual with our guest Sue

Paisley - Top Three

Well even though we didn't have lots of entries for this challenge you still gave Christine a headache, not least because she had to go to a friends house to use the internet as her system is down.

She tells me that she was impressed with all the entries and it was a hard choice but make a choice she must and these are the winners.

1st TRISH

2nd TESS

3rd COLLEEN

Well done Trish your first time entering our challenges and you make it to number one in the top three, Christine has a little something for you that will be in the post on Wednesday. Hope you keep entering as we were all impressed with your entry.

Please take out top three banner and display it on your blogs.

Trees challenge is below

Good Sunday morning to you all, welcome to another CD Sunday challenge. Is it just me or do these Sundays come around quicker each week? before we know it Christmas will have been and gone and we'll be wondering why we got so stressed, but for now here's to another challenge.
This week our challenge is such an easy one, we do like to spoil you sometimes so we have chosen trees as our theme.

I do hope you like it a little better than our paisley fun challenge last week which quite a few of you didn't think was fun at all. I love trees and know so many of you feel the same so I am hoping for a great turn out this week.

We still have our fabulous guest with us this week and once again she will start the ball rolling with her take on the theme, so if you're ready here we go:

Hopefully she wil manage to get the card onto her blog but if not then I can tell you she has been using Perfect Pearls!

Before we show you the teams ideas I'd like to thank everyone for joining in with us last week for our sponsored challenge of sunsets, there are so many ideas out there and all of your cards were stunning it's a pity you can't all win. As usual I have been over to Random.org and the number generated is number 2, so take a look and if that is your number then come on down and claim your prize.

Sunset Challenge Below
Good morning all, what a busy week I've had but such fun. I've spent two days with friends in Birmingham visiting the NEC, so I've come home shattered and skint but happy. I managed to buy a few more cd's to add to my collection so hopefully I'll be ringing the changes with the future challenges.

Last week our challenge of Puss Cats was quite a popular choice and we loved seeing your fabulous creations so thank you for your continued support. It's my turn this week to choose the top three so I hope I won't struggle too much but I've changed my mind several times already so watch this space.

It's time for us to introduce a new guest designer for this month and as usual we are going to be spoilt with the things that she will be doing for us, this month we have Sue from Sue's Crafty Corner Sue has been entering our challenges on a regular basis and we love what she does so do pop over and have a look at her blog I'm sure you'll be suitably impressed. Here is what Sue has to say about herself;

Hi my name is Sue, and I live in a small town on the North Hampshire/Berkshire border, with my

wonderful hubby Steve, my son Martin and our patterdale terrier Jed. I also have a daughter Vicky who lives with her partner nearby.

I have been crafting one way or another for most of my life. I found card making and paper crafts

about 10 years ago, and now it is the craft that I do the most. Closely followed by my embroidery machine and knitting machine.

Over the last ten years I have managed to collect a vast amount of CDs (some I’m sure I’ve never

used but just had to have at the time). About 3-4 years ago I found someone’s blog quite by accident, and started blog hopping, admiring all the beautiful creations that crafters were making and sharing.

Last year I took the plunge and started one of my own. I found the CD Sunday challenge blog at the beginning of the year, and with the exception of when I am away on holiday, I manage to take part each week. Who knows I might just get to use all of those CDs I have.

Ok now we are onto this weeks challenge which is sponsored by Caroline of CaroLines Digistamps

The design team have had one of Caroline's digi kits to play with and I have to say that I was quite impressed by the amount in them so will be going over and buying some more, the Christmas ones are so pretty and just that bit different that I think I'll get a lot of use out of them. The prize this week is a digi image of your own choice.

This what the team have come up with and if you're not impressed then I'll be surprised, we will start as usual with our guest.

As usual we only ask that you use something from a cd and as you can see from the samples it can be something small. Please also note that if you want to be included into the draw then we need your entries in by 1pm on Saturday. Thank you.

We are having a complete change this week and are going for the ahh factor, this week we want you to think Puss Cat and all that you can associate with them.

We are very sad this week because we are losing our guest, Pamela has been such a great guest and given us some wonderful things to inspire us so you can rest assured that we will be asking her to come back soon and do it all again. Thanks Pamela you have been a great team player while you have been with us.

Now onto this week and our team have really enjoyed this theme, cats are such easy things to include in your designs. They can be funny, whimsical and just plain grumpy but inspire great ideas, I do hope you can come and join us. We are starting once again with our guest, so for the last time here's Pamela's take on our theme.

Good morning and a very happy Sunday to you all, what weather we are having just now. I don't know if I should wear shorts or sweaters and we've had so much rain I think I'm developing webbed feet!

Anyway we have another packed week so I'll start with the draw for the prizes of stamps provided by Sue Wilson of Creative Expressions, as usual I have used Random.org for both prizes and of course there will be another prize on offer for the winner of the top three but you will have to wait until Tuesday to find out who that is, this week our guest designer Pamela is going to choose so I have no idea on her favourite styles so it will be fun for me too.

The winner of the first prize is

I have copied the sequence so you can see the selection. I have included Liz's email entry by using the number 20 for that one.

Drop us an email please ladies so we can get your prizes out to you. I have included one late entry this week but in future all entries must be with us by 1pm Saturday if you want to be included in the draw as I schedule the post and once it's done won't be able to include any late entries.

Now this week we want you to use the theme wine buffs as your inspiration, now you don't have to make a card you could do a wine label or some wine glass charms or even a scrapbook page but you will of course have to use something from a cd somewhere.

As usual we will start with our guest and I'm sure you will like what she's done for us this week and hopefully you will also like the rest of the teams efforts too.

Winter Wonderland Top Three
Hi again folks, our lovely Tess has chosen her top three for the Winter Wonderland challenge, she has struggled and has decided on

1st Margaret (no 13)

2nd Meg (no 5)

3rd Ali Watson (no 17)

See below for this weeks challenge and DT cards.
----------------------------------------------

Well hello there, and another good Sunday morning to you all, yes I know it's hard to believe but another week has gone and you've run out of time so it's onto the next challenge.
Last week you pulled out all the stops and gave us some fabulous stuff to look at, I am glad I'm not Tess who has promised us that as it is her last week with us she will choose the top three this time.

This week as it is the 1st Sunday of the month we are sponsored and boy have we got something a little bit special for you, this week we are being sponsored by the lovely Sue from Creative Expressions, now as this company is a wholesale company I cannot give you a link so you can all go and purchase lots of goodies but I will give you a link to Sue's web page so you can go and gaze in awe at her beautiful creations. You will find her here

OK now you've been over and had a look at Sue's blog it is your turn to get those cd's out and sort us something special to look at, yes I know after looking at the wonderful stuff Sue does you all think that you wish you were that creative, well let me tell you that you are!

Last week we saw the last card done by our guest Hazel and judging by the comments we have had you have enjoyed the things she did for us, this week we have another special guest to introduce to you and this time it's Pamela and once you have seen her work you will understand why we wanted her to be one of our guests. This is what Pamela has to say about herself:

Hi, my name is Pamela and those of you who already know will know not to shorten my name to Pam LOL! I live in South Wales with my lovely hubby and a cat called Snuggles - she's just been giving me a cuddle as I'm not very well at the moment.

I started cardmaking on 01 January 2005. Why such a precise date? My mother passed away in 2004 and I became so stressed I decided I needed a hobby to help me relax. I worked with someone who made cards and she gave me some of her stash to get me started and introduced me to craft shopping TV. At the time I was doing a distance learning course and had to focus on finishing that. So I slowly built up my crafting stash and when the course finished at the end of December 2004 I was able to start my new hobby.

Through my hobby I discovered forums and have made friends with some lovely fellow crafters, a few of whom I've met. Crafting has taken a back seat over the last 2 years due to family commitments but it's now firmly back in my life and I'm really enjoying it again. Craft CDs play a big part in my cardmaking (a cd was the first item I bought), I have 35 that are just Christmas, so I was really pleased when this CD Sunday blog was started and I have made it my mission to spread the word about it.

One other bit of news last week was that our beloved Tess was standing down and hopefully she will be joining you on the other side of the fence in the future, well we had to have a replacement and to be fair to fill such great shoes we had to have someone a little bit special so we have gone with Jocelyn, believe me she is more than competant to be in the team and as I just adore what she does we don't need any further recommendation.

Here is what she told us about herself when she was our guest in June:

I live by the sea in East Sussex with my husband and three spoilt rotten cats.

I have always crafted in one form or another from an early age. One of my early memories is sitting with my Dad while he dismantled the wheels from a small ornamental plastic wheelbarrow my Mother had on the dining room table so that we could use it as a template to draw around.

I learnt to knit and embroider as a child and loved it. As I grew older and friends started to have their families I knitted for them all. Eventually I was all knitted out and needed to find another creative outlet. This came in the form of cross stitch. During this time I also traced my family tree back to 1643. I incorporated my two hobbies and cross stitched my family tree. The walls of our home are now liberally scattered with my cross stitching.

When I developed repetitive strain injury while working in London as a legal secretary I had to give up cross stitch as I couldn’t hold the needle very easily. Not having anything to create made me fidgety but fortunately card making and paper craft came to my rescue. It is well over ten years ago now that I first decided to have a go and I love it. I’ve also met so many lovely friends through this wonderful hobby.

OK now onto this weeks challenge and as we are being sponsored as usual we have a prize on offer, well to be honest when Sue sent us the prize we thought it would be better if we split it, so, this week the prize will be stamp sheets with a theme of Christmas, Sue has given us 4 sheets of stamps so we have decided that the winner of the draw will get two sheets of stamps, the runner up will get one and the winner of the top three will get one too. So this week we have plenty of prizes so even more reasons for you to enter.

Phew this is one long post so thanks for staying with me, now at long last we are onto the cards done by the design team to give you a push in the right direction, as usual we will start with our guest.

Hello everyone, sorry to be a day late with the top three but I have had problems with getting on line so please make allowances if things aren't done a quickly as they should be. We have a bit of a tease for you with the person who chose the top three this week, as you know this is Tess's last week with us and we are having a new member to the team. Now to make sure she is well and truly up to speed we asked her to choose the top three this week, but here is the tease, we are not telling you who it is so you will have to come back on Sunday to find out.
Anyway here is the top three

1 Aquarius (No. 9)
2 Meg (No. 8)
3 Tip Top (No. 3)

Thanks for everyone's entries, we really do appreciate your support.

---------------------------------

Good morning all, welcome to a new challenge here at CD Sunday. We had a great time last week looking at your Black and Blue entries and it won't be easy to find our top three but don't worry we will be sorting it out and as usual it will be announced on Tuesday so don't forget to come back and see who's up here.

This is the last week for our guest designer Hazel, I do hope you have enjoyed seeing the stunning things she has done during this month and we have another beauty this week. Thank you Hazel we have loved having you and maybe you will consider joining us again sometime.

We also have a little bit more news for you and this time it's sad news, one of our founder members Tess is leaving us this week, Tess has been a great team mate and friend to all of us and we will miss her input every week, take care Tess and come back and join in as and when you can.

Now onto this weeks challenge, the team has had a bit of fun with this one and as usual we have hopefully come up with some things to inspire you to get out your cd's and create something.

Unfortunatley one of the team has had an operation on her eye and hasn't been able to do anything this week, Hope you'll soon be back to 100% Christine we do miss you but you must do as you're told and rest.

I will be back on Tuesday for the top three for last weeks challenge and hopefully the post will appear where it should be.

Good morning fellow cd users and welcome to our usual Sunday morning meeting. We have had a busy week and really loved all the cards you made for us to look at, seems Glenda's choice of inspired by peacocks was indeed inspired as you all came up trumps, and heaven help our Wendy when she has to choose her top three.

Last week we were sponsored by Glenda of Chocolate Baroque and the prize is so worth having, three cd's are up for grabs and our lucky winner as selected by random.org is number 13

Yes Meg that is you

In the top three last week and winning our sponsor prize this week, hope you've done the lottery! Drop us an email with your address and we'll make sure that your prize is put in the post to you.

Now onto this weeks challenge, we occasionally use the alphabet and randomly choose a letter and this week it is the letter M. At first I didn't have a clue what to do and then started to see the things my team mates had done and had to cross several ideas off my list but thinking about it there are loads of things that start with the letter M so I do hope you won't struggle.

We start as usual with our guest and Hazel has done us a lovely card so here we go and I do hope you'll like what we've done.

Just Because - Top Three

This week our top three was chosen by Carol and she has made up her mind fairly quickly so I can pop it on here tonight, she has loved the chance to visit you all and see the wonderful things you've done. Anyway this is the three she has chosen and she has a little something for the 1st choice.

1st Jenny Pearson No:3

2nd Tindaloo No: 17

3rd Meg No: 5

I do hope you'll all take the top three logo and put it on your blogs, and Jenny look out for the postman!

----------------------------------------

See below for this weeks challenge.
Hello everyone and welcome to another Sunday here at CD Sunday, we have got yet another busy week for you so without any ado we'll get on with the show!

Last week we said goodbye to Debs, sob, sob, but there is a bit of silver to the cloud as we have someone else who is happily stepping into her shoes and helping us out for the coming month. Our newest guest is Hazel from Hazel's Happy House and you just wait to see what she has done for us this week, then you'll know why we wanted her to join us as our very special guest. As with all of our guests we have asked Hazel to share a little something about herself so you can get to know her a little better, so this is what she has to say;

I have crafted all my life. My mother involved us in making things for the home, clippy mats, chair covers, tea tray cloths and embroidered cushion covers amongst lots of other things and I loved it.

I have two sisters and one of them did embroidery and crochet but the other would rather bury her head in a book, no crafts for her thank you very much!

My crafting continued throughout my married life with knitting, sewing, wooden toy making, rag dolls, dolls clothes, you name it and I’ve probably made it.

About ten years ago a young friend came to stay and she was ‘bored’ so I showed her how to make some cards, I used to make them on odd occasions when I was young but hadn’t carried on with them. I had so much fun showing her how to do certain techniques that I continued making them and stocked up on the all important ‘stash’.

I retired over six years ago and my card making has now taken priority over other crafts, mainly because it’s more relaxing. I sit in my craft room with Radio 2 on and happily make cards for any occasion.

Ok now we are onto the most exciting bit of this weeks challenge as we are being sponsored by the very talented and generous Glenda from Chocolate Baroque, the team have been bursting to tell you and to be honest I don't know how we managed not to shout about it from the moment we knew. Glenda has very kindly given each of the team a copy of her Peacock Summer Party to use and even better the prize is one I'm sure you will all want, three cd's! Your prize for this week is a copy of Decadent Brocade, Season's Greetings and Peacock Summer Party, now tell me we don't spoil you on occasion!

Just for a bit extra if you need anything else, the first of the top three winners will get a copy of the Peacocks Summer Party too so lots up for grabs this week.

Right here we go with the teams ideas for you and we have something a little different from Carol this week, I'm sure you'll love it.

Hazel

Wendy P

OK now it's your turn, you can make anything you like but you must use a cd and with such beautiful colours on a peacock you have a huge scope. Please leave a comment after linking and we'll come and visit you.

Hello everyone and thank you for the fabulous entries for last weeks challenge, Tess is busy studying them all now and if you pop back on Tuesday I will announce her top three, I think there could be a little something for the top placed person this week too.

This week we are asking you to think back to your childhood and remember the nursery rhymes you used to sing, you can make anything you like as usual but use something from a cd in your creation.

This week as is the norm our guest will start us off, Debs has come up trumps with her card as you will see but the rest of the team have enjoyed this one too and all have made something to be proud of.

CD Sunday - Only Ovals

2011-08-14T07:30:00.006+01:00

Last Week's Top Three

OK folks I nearly forgot I promised you the results of the top three from last week, Christine has given me a hard time as you were all so good she kept changing her mind. Anyway she has at last come to a decision and her top three are as follows:

1st place goes to Sue, who was number 3 last week
2nd place goes to Jocelyn who was number 8 last week
3rd place goes to Caroline who was number 13 last week.

Now ladies please collect our top three logo and display it on your blogs and Sue, Christine has a little bit of something for you so watch out for the postman.

------------------------------

Good morning all and welcome to a very busy CD Sunday, we were so pleased with both how many of you joined us last week and the quality of the work produced.

As you know this week we are introducing something new to us which is a top three chosen by one of the design team, this week it is the turn of Christine and she is agonising over her choice as we speak. You have given her a hard task but she has promised me that I will be in a position to post her choices on Tuesday as promised. Now Christine has been so impressed with the quality of the things she has seen this week she has donated a little something for her number 1 so not only will you be able to display the top three badge on your blog but you will be getting a little something falling through your letterbox in the coming week.

We are also looking at who has won our sponsor prize and this is still being drawn by Random.org so it's completely seperate to the top three. This week the number of the winner is no 2:

Yay Chris JW this time it's you!

I think you know what to do but just in case, drop us a line and we'll get your cd to you. Sorry to all you who didn't win but we have a special sponsor next month so make sure you all come back for that one, it's a prize well worth winning. Just in case you are wondering I did include the emailed in cards, I added you onto the list at the end so better luck next time.

Ok so now we are onto this week's challenge, we want you to go with the theme only ovals. As usual we are happy for you to make anything but the one condition is to use something from a cd, we still get entries from people who haven't taken notice of the rules and if there is a prize involved then it wouldn't be fair to include those that don't follow our simple rules.

We still have the lovely Debs with us and this week she will start us off with something very pretty, so here we go.

CD Sunday - Buttons

2011-08-07T07:30:00.008+01:00

Hi all and welcome to a brand new challenge, we loved your entries last week and that got us to thinking we should start having a top three. So from this week on a Tuesday pop back here and we'll announce the top three winners from the previous week.

This week we want you to use buttons and as you will see the design team have been very lucky as we are being sponsored by Katy Sue Designs and we have been given a copy of the cd to play with. We had great fun and all the cards are different, the prize on offer this week is a copy of the cd Grandma's Button Box.

Last week we said goodbye for now to Chris and this week we welcome a new guest, now some of you may know this lady and even used some of her cd's. This month our guest designer is Debs from Debbees cd's and this is what Debs tells us about herself

Hi there, I am Debs. First of all can I just say how thrilled I am to be invited to be a guest designer at CD Sunday... it is such a fantastic blog and sooooo much inspiration, I am over the moon to be involved!

Quick bit about me... leaving out all the boring bits! LOL I am married with two kids, a boy of almost 21 and a girl of 11, I also have two very stupid cats who try very hard to be part of everything I do.... most of my cards have to be checked thoroughly for stray ginger or black hairs before I send them out!!

I am self employed, in the craft industry (concerning a subject matter close to this blogs heart!!!), and I work from home, with the help of my puddy cats.... I have to be very disciplined, becasue I keep getting sidetracked by blogs, and facebook... seemed a good idea at the time to get a farm.. now it rules my life! :-)

I love all things crafting, and I have crafted in one form or another for as long as I can remember... often with laughable results, but never mind! You should see my efforts at knitting..... I can happily knit a three mile long scarf, but never ask me to knit round a corner!! My passion at the moment is stamping.. and pro markers... obviously combined with backing papers from CD's!!

In my spare time (what actually is that??) I try to relax with parchment, or a book, being with my friends and family or by dressing up as a bee and being silly!

I hope you like my cards! xx

So now we're onto what we are really all here for and that is the cards designed to help inspire you to create something lovely and maybe you will be the one to win the cd or maybe even be chosen by one of the team as one of their top three.

Debs

All the above are done using Grandma's Button Box cd by Katy Sue Designs.

Now it's up to you, you can make anything you like as long as you use something from a cd somewhere within your creation.

Email entry

As you all know we accept email entries from those of you who don't have blogs or have problems getting your link onto the blog. This one is from Mary and she has used one of Debbee's cd's which seems appropriate as Debs is our guest this month.

We've got another email entry for you all to see, this one is from Julia and she too doesn't have a blog. As you can all see Julia has used the From me to You cd to make her card, it's beautiful don't you think?

CD Sunday - Bling it Up!

2011-07-31T08:00:00.001+01:00

Hi all, I think summer has arrived, for a few days at least as it's absolutely beautiful here and the wind has dropped so we can sit out well into the evening.

We did enjoy your input into the challenges and even though it was a bit of a struggle for some of you, you worked your magic and produced some stunning work. Thanks a lot we do appreciate it.

Sadly this week is the last week for our lovely guest designer Chris, she has given us some lovely cards to look at and this week is no exception. Thanks for joining us Chris and hopefully you will be up for doing it again in the future. Look out for a new guest next week and we have a very special sponsor so watch this space, you could win a lovely cd.

OK onto this week and we have decided to chose the theme Bling it Up, now we all love to use our glitter and gems so I don't think it should be a problem for any of you, I know the team have had a ball and all the projects are very different to each other. I do hope you can join us and give us something to oooh and aaah over the next week.

We will start as usual with our lovely guest Chris.

2011-07-24T07:04:00.001+01:00

Good morning to you all in blogland, it's looking good for another sunny day here so hopefully a bit of gardening will get done today. Last week we had a some lovely cards to look at and all enjoyed visiting you and taking inspiration from your stunning creations. Now last week I mentioned we had reached 100 followers, well not only reached it but passed it, so as promised I have a little something for one of our ladies who joined us last week.

This prize is going to Linda H who was number 5 last week, drop us a line at the address at the top of the page Linda and we'll get your goodies off to you as soon as possible.

Now onto this week and we still have the lovely Chris with us who tells me she is enjoying her stay and has produced yet another great card for you all. This week we are dreaming and hopefully you will be able to dream with us, so hang on to your hats and here we go.

CD Sunday challenge - Nautical

2011-07-17T07:30:00.002+01:00

Good morning to you all out there in blogland, we have enjoyed a wonderful week of sunshine and doesn't it make you feel good?

I have noticed that we have now got 100 followers and to celebrate I will be giving out a spot prize this week so you never know a little bit of something extra could be coming your way if you are joining us.

We thought we had given you an easy challenge last week but some of you said you found it difficult, so sorry but then again that's why they are called challenges, we like to make you think. We did enjoy coming to visit and those of you that did enter came up trumps, your designs were stunning.

So now onto this weeks challenge, as you will have seen from the header this week we want you to think nautical. Now this will give you all plenty of scope and as usual you can make whatever takes your fancy, a card, a scrapbook page an atc, etc. As long as something comes from a cd you can join us.

We still have the lovley Chris with us and once again she has given us a beauty to share with you all, so without any more time wasting here we go.

CD Sunday - Christmas is Calling

2011-07-03T08:00:00.006+01:00

Good morning everyone, as I type this the sun is streaming in through the windows and everything feels great, unfortunately it also shows the bits of things like dust and the fact that the windows could do with another clean but that's a small price to pay.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week, some stunning work as usual and some reminders for us to look at some of the older cd's we have in our collections.

This week as it's the beginning of yet another month, can it really be July already? We have another fab sponsor for you, this week we are being sponsored by the Stamping Boutique with the winner being able to choose three images from the many on offer. If you haven't been to see what they do then I suggest you go on over, there are some lovely digis to choose from.

We have been given some digi's to play with and as you will see from the DT's samples we have all had a bit of fun with them. We have been given a bio to share with you so you can get to know the team.

I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique.
My team and I are very happy to sponsor CD Sunday Challenge. My store has been open since September 2009.I am currently a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Co. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as,
their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

Now as it's a new month we also have a brand new guest designer and I'm sure you will love the things she does so I will let her introduce herself to you.

Hello I'm Christine and I feel honoured to be a guest DT for July. I have been cardmaking for about 7 years now after coming across C&C when I was looking for art channels. I thought this cardmaking looks like something I'd like to have a go at, so off I went to hobbycraft to see what I could find to get me started and have a go.

It didn't take me long to get hooked, so from a small box of cardmaking items at the side of my chair it has progressed to my kitchen table being overtaken with craft stuff and meals having to be eaten on our laps on trays lol. At the moment I do mainly cd cardmaking and really love the enormous variety of cds that are out there. I don't have one particular cd I favour as I love them all. I do keep telling myself that I'm not going to buy anymore as I have enough but the less said about that the better lol.

My other interests are drawing, painting and calligraphy , I'm trying to do more painting as I would like to use my paintings in my cards in the future.

I am looking forward to being a guest DT this month and know I will enjoy the experience and hope I do the team proud.

So now we hope you are raring to go and our samples will get you going, so we will start with our newest member Christine.

CD Sunday - Mixed Bouquet

2011-06-26T07:45:00.002+01:00

Good morning everyone, here we are again another Sunday and another challenge. We had some lovely entries last week and as we asked you to use a tassel we can only thank you for being brave and going for it. The entries were superb and we really enjoyed visitng you and seeing what you have come up with.

This week we are being a little easier on you and hopefully you will be able to join in without too much stress, no using things that are really meant to be kept for looking at. We want you to use a mixed bouquet in your designs this week, at first I thought I would struggle but managed quite easily once I sat and thought about it.

We have Jocelyn with us this week for the last time so we want to say a huge thank you as the inspiration you have given us all is really apreciated. This week Jocelyn is spoiling us again and has done two cards both of which are fab and I know you will miss her as will the DT so hopefully we will be able to persuade her to join us again before too long.

OK now onto the challenge cards for this week, once again the DT have produced a great variety of cards so hopefully you will find something that sparks the imagination going and you will be joining us again.

CD Sunday challenge - Tassel Time

2011-06-19T08:00:00.001+01:00

Good morning all, welcome to another week at CD Sunday. As usual we were blown away by your cards last week so please keep them coming.

I know that you will have noticed the title of the challenge this week and I know that some of you may require counselling after using one of your precious tassels but sometimes it has to be done, and, I guess there must someone in your lives that you could bear to give a tassel to, lol.

We still have the very talented Jocelyn with us and once again she has come up trumps and gone for something a little different on her card.

So now it is time to get your thinking caps on and try to imagine a card or other project that would just be crying out for a tassel to finish it off, well this is the one we want to see. Hopefully the DT cards will help you get over the trauma.

I am thrilled and excited to be joining the CD Sunday team as a Guest Designer for the month of June.

I live by the sea in East Sussex with my husband and three spoilt rotten cats.

As this is the first Sunday of a band new month we are being sponsored by the great Stitchy Bear Stamps, they have been very generous and have given the DT some images to play with and will be giving the winner this week a total of 5 digi stamps from their shop. So hop on over and have a look, you will find something you like and lets be honest five new images are just what we like to get hold of.

CD Sunday - Stamping

2011-05-01T07:04:00.001+01:00

Good morning all and welcome to another CD Sunday challenge. I really can't believe we are into May and time for another challenge with a great sponsor, this month we are being sponsored by Digi's With Attitude

We also have a new guest designer this month and I am so very happy to introduce you to Jen from Timeout Crafting
We have been so lucky with our guests and I know you will be blown away by the things that Jen has produced for us.
Here is a little of what Jen is all about in her own words:

I live in Reading with my partner John, our children are grown up now. I was a teacher of Maths and Special Needs before I retired. I loved my job but am now enjoying retirement very very much. I have always crafted in one form or another. Crochet, knitting, sewing and needlepoint. I started paper crafting about 8 years ago. I love scrapbooking and I also make cards which I sell for charity. I have an obsession for beautiful papers which I am forcing myself to use not just look at. CDs are great as if you find a favourite paper you get to use it and still have it! I like stamping and am now brave enough to stamp on an almost complete scrapbook page! Getting inky and experimenting is great fun and I like to try new things, envelope albums and felting being the latest want to dos. Since being introduced to the world of blogging by my friend Janet I have enjoyed getting involved in challenges and am delighted to have been asked to join such a talented bunch of crafters as guest designer this month. Thank you.

So now we are onto the challenge which this week is stamping, yes I know we are a CD challenge blog but we all love to use our rubber and inks to make something unique to us. We are normally saying use something from a cd and this still stands but you could just use a stamped sentiment with everything else from a cd and your entry will be fine.

Our DT have had a ball this week and have used images from new stamps, old stamps and much loved stamps to make a bunch of cards to inspire you to get out your rubber and join us this week.

We have a winner!

You lot did your best to give us a hard time and we did have to have a voting system so it was totally fair. One person got 5 votes out of 6 so that bit was easy. For the runner up we had three people on 4 votes each and as we all had a different choice we asked Claire our guest designer for the month to cast the deciding vote, so now we have two lucky and talented people.

Our first choice is for this fabulous book card from Kevin

Our second choice is for this pretty blue card from Misty's Mum

Thank you to everyone for making our birthday special and the two winners if you get in touch through the email at the top of the page I will make sure your prizes get to you as soon as possible.

************************

Good morning and a very Happy Easter to you all.

Wow what can I say about all your entries last week, the team have been blown away by your cards and can tell you it's going to be hard to choose a winner and runner up, crazy idea we should have had a draw! lol

We have decided that as we know we won't be agreeing straight away and will have to discuss the result we will let everyone know by Wednesday so please bear with us. If you have joined us for the first time this week we do hope you will come back again and to our regular followers thank you for being there each week.

As usual please use something from a CD on your entry.

We have had a few people once again putting in entries which don't follow our few simple rules so they cannot be entered into our monthly draws.

This is our last week with Claire being our guest designer, I have already extracted a promise that she will come back and join us again later in the year. Thank you Claire for your wonderful designs you have been a very popular and inspirational guest.

Now onto this weeks challenge, another nice and easy one for you, it's butterflies. We have all enjoyed ourselves making the samples and hopefully it will give you a bit of inspiration to join in with us.
