CD Sunday - Digi Day

Good morning everyone and welcome to another CD Sunday challenge, we loved what you all did last week so thank you and keep them coming.

We have decided that you deserve an easy week this week so we are asking you to incorporate a digi into your design but we still need to see something from a cd so you don't get off scott free, rules is rules you know!

This week we are being joined by another guest who has been contributing to the challenges, we were so impressed we asked her to join us. Please welcome Jocelyn from Jocelyn's place she has spoilt us this week as she has done two cards just because she could!

We have a little bio for you to get to know her a bit better so this is what Jocelyn tells us about herself:

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.
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.

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.

OK so here we go, hope you like our DT samples and we look forward to you joining us once again this week.

CD Sunday challenge - Under the Weather

Good morning all and welcome once again to the CD Sunday challenge, thank you so much for your great entries last week and welcome to our new comers it's always good to see you and we love to come and visit you to see what you are all up to.

This week we are feeling a little under the weather so have used it as out theme, this time the theme worked perfectly for me as I have just been asked for a get well card.  I do hope you can all join us again this week and come up with some amazing things for us to look at.

We still have Jen with us and she has come up trumps again, we really have been spoilt with our guests this year.

OK then here it is your turn, I do hope our projects have inspired you and please note Carol has done two for us this week because she just wanted to and she wanted to do the beaded clown which even though I don't like clowns (think they're a bit spooky) think it's a great card.
