CD Sunday Challenge – Sketch

Good morning crafters and welcome to yet another Sunday morning, we had a few more entries last week so thank you everyone. We really enjoyed coming to your blogs and looking at what you’ve been up to, I’ve found a few more ideas that I’ll take away and use at some time in the future.

----------

Now before we go any further I have to tell you that one of our DT has left us for pastures new, Anne was a founder member of the DT and did a lot of work to get the challenges up and running. She will be missed by us all and no doubt you will miss her too, she did some great things while she was with us.
I really hope that you carry on designing and enjoying your crafting Anne and thanks for all you have done, best of luck with everything.

-----------

O.K. now onto this weeks challenge, we have given you some easy things these last weeks so this week we want you to use a sketch, yes I did say a sketch – it’s a first for us on this blog so we do hope you enjoy it. Our DT have done some great things which hopefully will inspire you to get your cd’s, stamps and inks out and have a play. Don’t forget as long as you have something from a cd it will count in the challenge.

Here’s the sketch we want you to use this week

CD Sunday Challenge New Year - New to You

Good morning crafters all, yet another week has flown by and we have a new challenge for you all but first I think we'll announce the winner of last weeks draw.

Large drumroll please:

The winner is number 5

This is  Stargroves (Anne)

Please email us with your details so we can arrange for you to collect your prize, hope you enjoy it and we look forward to seeing your creations in the future.

We had a few more entries last week and it's good to see more people finding us and enjoying what we do, so spread the word on your blogs to let even more people join us.

This week our challenge is  New Year - New to You and as Santa was very kind to us all last year we have really enjoyed playing with all our new stash.  We do hope that you all got new goodies and can show them off in our challenge but if you didn't then maybe you have found a new technique or a new fold or any new idea you want to share with us. Whatever it is we'll enjoy coming over and having a look, so grab your goodies and play along. Just remember that we need to see something from a cd and please link back to this blog in your post.

Here is what our wonderful design team have been doing and hopefully their efforts will produce a spark of inspiration to help you along.

CD Sunday - Check it Out!

Good morning fellow challengers and welcome to our 1st challenge of 2011, this week we are sponsored by Bearly Mine Designs. Now we have all been given a few things to play with and have thoroughly enjoyed using the bits and pieces kindly given to us.

I know we have all been very busy and last week we didn't have as many entries but a huge thank you to all of you who found the time to enter a card, we did enjoy visiting you and seeing what great things you have come up with.

We don't have a guest designer for this month, but will be back up to speed for next month so watch this space.

Our sponsor this week has offered a voucher to the value of £10 to spend on any cd of your choice, if you go over to the web site you can check out what is available, I'm sure you'll want be in with a chance of winning.

Now before we go to the DT creations for this week I want to say a huge thank you to Anne, as well as being part of the team she has been a major part of getting this blog up and running and taking it in turns to post the challenge. She is now at a stage when all these things are getting a little too much and so she has had to stop the admin side of her role. I am very glad to say that she is staying with us as part of the team so you'll still get to see her fabulous creations each week but you're now stuck with me setting the challenges.

Now down to business, as usual you can make anything you like and as long as you use something from a cd you can enter your project, this week we want you to

CHECK IT OUT!
