CD Sunday challenge - Tassel Time

Good morning all, welcome to another week at CD Sunday. As usual we were blown away by your cards last week so please keep them coming.

I know that you will have noticed the title of the challenge this week and I know that some of you may require counselling after using one of your precious tassels but sometimes it has to be done, and, I guess there must someone in your lives that you could bear to give a tassel to, lol.

We still have the very talented Jocelyn with us and once again she has come up trumps and gone for something a little different on her card.

So now it is time to get your thinking caps on and try to imagine a card or other project that would just be crying out for a tassel to finish it off, well this is the one we want to see. Hopefully the DT cards will help you get over the trauma.

As you will all see we are very taken with Joanna's Elegant Fans cd I think it's just because you envisage a tassel falling from the bottom of a fan.  I do hope we've inspired you and we are looking forward to what you come up with. As usual you can make anything you like but just make sure that you use something from a cd in your project.



CD Sunday Challenge - If the Shoe Fits

Good morning everyone, welcome to another week at the CD Sunday house. We had a lovely week last week and a few newcomers so a warm welcome to you, your entries were once again stunning. We have made the draw and the winner of the digi's from Stitchy Bear is number 3.............

Yes Hazel L that's you!

Please email us with your details (address at the top of the page) so we can arrange for you to go over and collect your prize, well done.

We still have the lovely Jocelyn with us and you are going to love what she has done for us this week, she is a very talented card designer and you will see what I mean when you see her card for this week. You should go over to her blog and have a look, great inspiration there.

Now onto the challenge, which as you can see is called If the Shoe Fits. We did have a bit of fun with this one and at one point I thought we were all going to use the same cd but we have manged to get some variety in the designs the team have come up with.

We do still have some entries that are not doing this and although we do love to see what you do, we won't be making comments on entries that don't comply.

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.
