CD Sunday - Mixed Bouquet

Good morning everyone, here we are again another Sunday and another challenge.  We had some lovely entries last week and as we asked you to use a tassel we can only thank you for being brave and going for it. The entries were superb and we really enjoyed visitng you and seeing what you have come up with.

This week we are being a little easier on you and hopefully you will be able to join in without too much stress, no using things that are really meant to be kept for looking at.  We want you to use a mixed bouquet in your designs this week, at first I thought I would struggle but managed quite easily once I sat and thought about it.

We have Jocelyn with us this week for the last time so we want to say a huge thank you as the inspiration you have given us all is really apreciated.  This week Jocelyn is spoiling us again and has done two cards both of which are fab and I know you will miss her as will the DT so hopefully we will be able to persuade her to join us again before too long.

OK now onto the challenge cards for this week, once again the DT have produced a great variety of cards so hopefully you will find something that sparks the imagination going and you will be joining us again.

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.

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.
