CD Sunday - Die cutting/Yeehaw

Good morning everyone hope you're feeling good today, well what a week with Blogger, we have had trouble all around so if you think we haven't been and commented please forgive us as some of the posts and comments have gone awol. Thank you all for your lovely entrie last week, I sometimes struggle with oriental so it's good to see that you all seem to like it and do a much better job than I do.

Now onto this week, we are spoiling you again this week as we couldn't agree with what we wanted to do so we have a choice for you. We are going with two themes this week so you can use either or both if you feel up to it!  As you will see the team have been split this week with  something from each choice on offer.

We still have our lovely guest Jen with us and she has come up with a great card this week.

CD Sunday - Stamping

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.
