CD Sunday - Birthday!

It's Our Birthday!!!

Good morning everyone, this week it's our birthday and to celebrate we are giving presents away and to make it ever so easy for you all all we want you to do is produce a birthday card.  Now what could be easier than that I ask you, as usual all you need to make sure of is that you use a cd for at least part of your card.

Before we go any further I just want to thank everyone who joined us last week, as ever your creations were stunning and we all enjoyed visiting you and commenting on what you've produced.

Now usually we make a draw for our sponsored challenges but this time because it's such a special challenge we have decided that the design team will choose the two winners, I know it won't be an easy task as we all have such diverse tastes but we do know what quality looks like so do your best to wow us.

OK I know you want to know what goodies we will be giving away so here goes:

CD Sunday - Someone Special

Good morning all and welcome to a new month at CD Sunday, I am so glad to see you joining us and hopefully we will give you lots of inspiration to help you to join in with us as we celebrate - Someone Special. Just a little heads up for all of our regulars, we will be celebrating our 1st birthday this month and will have a little extra to give away on our birthday week so keep watching! As we are into a new month we have a new guest, now we have had some pretty talented people joining us but I think you will be truly amazed when you see what our guest this month has done for us, so with out more ado let me introduce to you :

Claire of Claire's Crafty Creations

Here's what Claire has to say about herself:

I'm so pleased to be joining the team at CD Sunday this month, partly because the ladies on the DT are such a lovely bunch but also because its given me chance to revisit my collection of cds. When I first got in to crafting I used to love using cds for my projects. Over the years I've got more into stamping and my poor cds have been gathering dust so its been great to check them out and use them with some stamping techniques that I've learned more recently.. I don't think I have a particular style as I love so many different aspects of papercrafting from colouring digistamps to making inky backgrounds and brayering. I usually have a few projects started in my untidy little craft room and tend to flit from one style to another. I work full time for a mental health charity but spend most of my free time crafting, usually making cards but I do enjoy jewellery making and particularly working with silver clay. I have a lovely hubby who is very understanding about my crafty addiction, a 21 year old son, 2 dogs (who are usually covered in glitter) and a very noisy parrot.

Claire has joined us for this month and as I have already seen what she has done for this challenge I can assure you that you are going to love her take on our theme.

I want to say a quick thank you to everyone who joined us last week, we all loved visiting you and the standard of work was truly fab, I do hope you will all manage to join in with us again this week.

Now as it is the first sunday of the month we do have a sponsor and this month it is:

All of the DT have used one of the images so generously provided this week and I'm sure you will see there are some stunning cards made from these so I'm sure you will want to be in with the chance to get 4 sheets of digi images.

As usual we will start with our guest designer and hope that we will inspire you to pick up your papers and cd's and get creating.
