Sunset Challenge Below
Good morning all, what a busy week I've had but such fun. I've spent two days with friends in Birmingham visiting the NEC, so I've come home shattered and skint but happy. I managed to buy a few more cd's to add to my collection so hopefully I'll be ringing the changes with the future challenges.

Last week our challenge of Puss Cats was quite a popular choice and we loved seeing your fabulous creations so thank you for your continued support. It's my turn this week to choose the top three so I hope I won't struggle too much but I've changed my mind several times already so watch this space.

It's time for us to introduce a new guest designer for this month and as usual we are going to be spoilt with the things that she will be doing for us, this month we have Sue from Sue's Crafty Corner  Sue has been entering our challenges on a regular basis and we love what she does so do pop over and have a look at her blog I'm sure you'll be suitably impressed. Here is what Sue has to say about herself;

Hi my name is Sue, and I live in a small town on the North Hampshire/Berkshire border, with my
wonderful hubby Steve, my son Martin and our patterdale terrier Jed. I also have a daughter Vicky who lives with her partner nearby.

I have been crafting one way or another for most of my life. I found card making and paper crafts
about 10 years ago, and now it is the craft that I do the most. Closely followed by my embroidery machine and knitting machine.

Over the last ten years I have managed to collect a vast amount of CDs (some I’m sure I’ve never
used but just had to have at the time). About 3-4 years ago I found someone’s blog quite by accident, and started blog hopping, admiring all the beautiful creations that crafters were making and sharing.
Last year I took the plunge and started one of my own. I found the CD Sunday challenge blog at the beginning of the year, and with the exception of when I am away on holiday, I manage to take part each week. Who knows I might just get to use all of those CDs I have.

Ok now we are onto this weeks challenge which is sponsored by Caroline of  CaroLines Digistamps

 The design team have had one of Caroline's digi kits to play with and I have to say that I was quite impressed by the amount in them so will be going over and buying some more, the Christmas ones are so pretty and just that bit different that I think I'll get a lot of use out of them.  The prize this week is a digi image of your own choice.

This what the team have come up with and if you're not impressed then I'll be surprised, we will start as usual with our guest.

Wendy P

Wendy M

Jenny

 I think you will have to agree that these samples are lovely and all thanks to the beautiful kit supplied by Caroline, I hope you will join in with us this week and you could be the one to win something from this very talented lady.  As usual we only ask that you use something from a cd and as you can see from the samples it can be something small. Please also note that if you want to be included into the draw then we need your entries in by 1pm on Saturday. Thank you.

Puss Cat Challenge below
Hello everyone and welcome to another CD Sunday challenge, I do hope you all enjoyed last weeks challenge we loved coming to visit and see your spookylicious offerings. We are having a complete change this week and are going for the ahh factor, this week we want you to think Puss Cat and all that you can associate with them.

We are very sad this week because we are losing our guest, Pamela has been such a great guest and given us some wonderful things to inspire us so you can rest assured that we will be asking her to come back soon and do it all again. Thanks Pamela you have been a great team player while you have been with us.

Now onto this week and our team have really enjoyed this theme, cats are such easy things to include in your designs. They can be funny, whimsical and just plain grumpy but inspire great ideas, I do hope you can come and join us.  We are starting once again with our guest, so for the last time here's Pamela's take on our theme.

Polka Doodle's Paper Boutique Volume 3

Joanna Sheen - Ivory Cats
Jocelyn
The Jane Netley Mayhew Collection CD from Joanna Sheen
Carol
Joanna Sheen - Nostalgia CD
Wendy P
Joanna Sheen - Ivory Cats
Wendy M

Christine

As you can see we love our cats and really hope you do too, please leave a comment after posting and have fun but remember to use a little something from a cd on your card.
