CD Sunday Challenge - Get ahead - Get a Hat

Good morning all you lovely crafters out there, yet another week has flown by and we are back to Sunday and another challenge. Firstly I want to say thank you to those of you who joined us last week, not as many as expected considering we gave you a fairly easy task but perhaps you all want to be challenged a bit more.

This week we have had a bit of fun and our theme  is

Get ahead - Get a Hat

We still have our lovely guest Janet with us and she has come up trumps again, I do hope you will pop over to see her blog and give her a bit of support.

I am looking forward to seeing all your creations with this one and our team have all had very different ideas as you will see, remember to use something from a cd and link back to us.

CD Sunday - Swirls and Pearls

Good morning crafters and welcome to another CD Sunday challenge, thank you to everyone who joined us last week. As usual there was some stunning work and we did enjoy visiting your blogs

Before we go any further I need to announce the winner of that wonderful cd from Debbees CD's, now as we have changed our linky tool I have had to resort to the old fashioned method of writing out numbers and this week the winner was chosen by my hubby.

This weeks winner is number 10 and that means ---  yes Beryl it's you, now you know what you have to do, just drop us a line and we'll get you sorted.

Now onto this weeks challenge which is :

 Swirls and Pearls

As usual you can make anything you want as long as it includes something from a cd. The DT have been busy with things to inspire you and of course we still  have the very talented Janet who has made another stunner.

CD Sunday - Friendship

Good morning crafters, it's another Sunday and a new month so it only means one thing, another sponsored challenge. We are lucky to have a wonderful cd from Debbees CD's, now this cd is not available to buy and is a very limited edition so the lucky winner will be getting something fairly rare and I have been told it's a geat cd but even I haven't got it. I did ask the rest of the team if I could forgo my DT position this week so I could try to be in with a chance but as you can imagine it is a no go in that department.

The cd in question is called Bryony Bee but if by chance the winner already has it then Debs will allow you to chose something else instead.


Now onto something else, we are back with our guest designers this month and we have the lovely Janet helping us out for February. This is a little bio from Janet so you can get to know her a little better.

I am a 55 years old housewife who in a previous existence was a police officer and co-owned a contract cleaning company.  I have enjoyed creating things all  my life whether it be a beautiful dinner or a knitted jumper.  I live in rural splendour on the Moray Firth in North East Scotland in what was a former riding and trekking centre.  I enjoy photography and horse riding and often combine the two - I especially enjoy watching all the wildlife that lives nearby and recording the seasons.  I have been cardmaking for about 4 years now and particularly enjoy rubber stamping and creating pictures of what I see around me.  Colour is my main inspiration followed by texture and design.  I was delighted when asked to be a Guest Designer for CD Sunday Challenge and I hope you like my work.
I'm sure you will love what Janet has produced for us this week and if this is anything to go by then you need to be here again next week for more.

We want to thank all you wonderful people who have been joining in with us last week, there was some stunning work but also quite a few of you weren't following our very few and simple rules. We do love to visit your blogs and see the great things you all produce but as there are so many of you who haven't been using a cd for anything in your creations we have as a team, decided that unless you follow the rules then we won't leave a comment on your blogs. We also have to say that if you enter something that isn't following the rules then you will not be eligible to go into the draw for any of the prizes we offer. 


OK so now with housekeeping over let's get on with the real reason we are here, our challenge has a lovely theme and we all enjoyed using designs given to us by Debs, we have all been busy making things to inspire you to join in with us and to prove that using cd's is a great way to craft.








So now it's over to you, we do hope you like our theme and you will join in with us but please remember you must use something from a cd to enter.
