CD Sunday Challenge - Gorgeous Green

Old MacDonald had a Farm Top Three

Wendy M has chosen her top three for the Old MacDonald challenge and they are as follows;

 1st - Jenny Pearson (No 4)

2nd - Collen (No 9)
3rd - Michelle JM (No 6)

Well done to you all and Jenny if you can email us with your address then Wendy has a little something for you by way as a prize.

This weeks challenge is below.

Good morning all, we hope you are enjoying your bank holiday weekend and the weather holds out for us to make use of the great outdoors.

You made some lovely cards last week and we really enjoyed visiting your blogs so thank you for your continued support.

We are really busy this week as we have had a call out for a new team member, well we were in a quandary as we had so many great people show an interest that we ended up choosing not one but two new members.  I know you will like what they do and as their styles are very different  there will be even more inspiration for you each week.

Our first choice is Beryl, and this is what she has to say about herself;

I've always been a crafter in one way or another, learning to knit, crochet and embroider from my elders. Once I discovered computers back in 1995 I started to make a few cards digitally, it wasn't until 2005 that my niece brought some of her crafty stash with her when she came for a holiday visit that I got hooked on papercrafting. 

I love rubber stamping and have many stamps but my colouring skills leave a lot to be desired sometimes - so CD's are  an essential for me. And being invited to join The CD Sunday Challenge Design Team is a bonus and an honour.

Welcome to the team Beryl and hopefully you will have lots of fun with us.  

Our next choice is Caz and she has also given us a little bio by way of an introduction;

 I am married, have 2 sons, and 6 grandchildren. I retired a few years ago, after a very busy work life, I am so enjoying spending more time crafting. I started crafting in my late 20's, over the years I have tried my hand at most forms of crafting. For the last 10 years I have been content with paper crafting. Like many crafters, I wasn't good at Art at school, because I can't even draw a recognisable matchstick man. However, the world of creating has changed with the introduction of so many lovely craft CD,s, stamps and inks. I love to play, experiment and even get messy. I teach a weekly class of a number of ladies who feel as passionate as I do to create a nice finished project from the beginning of a white sheet of paper or card. I am delighted to be joining the CD Challenge blog Design Team, and look forward to creating regular CD created cards.

Welcome Caz and we hope you too have a great time and enjoy being part of the team.

Our guest this month is Sue once again,  we were meant to have a new guest but a few problems meant that she couldn't manage this month and Sue very kindly agreed to stay on and do another month.  

Now onto this weeks challenge which has been chosen for us by Wendy P, our theme this week is

Good Sunday morning to you, it's been such a lovely week and I'm sure I could get used to it!
This week we are having a bit of a fun time and have gone with the theme Old Macdonald had a Farm, I have to admit at first I wasn't impressed but fter stopping to think found I did have something I could use.

Last week your entries were as usual stunning, so glad I don't have to choose a top three, and in case you are wondering I only got around to putting my top three from the refections challenge onto the blog yesterday, so if you haven't seen the winners please check out last weeks post.

This week it is the last week for our guest Sue and I think you can agree that she has done a great job, we will be sorry to see her go but next week we will have a new guest and I know you will be surprised and will love her input.

Right onto this week and we will start as usual with our guest.

So Sorry Guys!

 I have totally forgotten to let you know about the top three for last week's challenge of Reflections, it's a good job Carol is awake or you'd still be waiting.  I had been through all the blogs to look and just totally forgot to announce the winners.  As usual you made the choice hard for me but I have managed and the top three are as follow.

1st Trish - number 10

2nd Dawnll - number 5

3rd Mandi - number 6

Please take our top three banner if you haven't already got it and there is a little something for the winner so email us and claim your prize.

Good morning all, welcome to a brand new challenge which this week is Easy Elegance, I do hope you can join us.
Last week entrieswere wonderful as usual and I will be choosing my top three a little later in the week, hopefully it won't take me forever but from what I've seen it's not going to be easy.

Last week we put out a call for a new member of the team and we have had a few people wanting to join us so thank you if you've emailed us,  but I just want you to know that we will keep it open for another week or so to give everyone a chance, If you would like to join us and as one person said they weren't sure if what they did was good enough then give us a call and let us decide, don't be shy!

Our team this week have worked hard on their designs and hopefully you will find some inspiration from them, so as we still have our lovley guest Sue with us we will start with her.
