CD Sunday Plus #36 - Anything Goes.

The sun is shining whilst I write this and I hope all are well and still sane.

Today is the first day of month 4 in lockdown for me. I last went out on February 20th. It does seem a long time ago.  It has been a great excuse though to continue to craft and chat on Facebook with fellow crafters.  One group I belong to has been having challenges amongst themselves and these are proving very popular.  Like making something using an old favourite craft item that hasn't seen the light of day for yonks.  Using something that has never been used before.  That is easy amongst crafters who are always buying things enthusiastically and then putting them away somewhere safe -  for later use.  Hands up all those guilty (me included).

We have been sending Cards for Kindness to each other -  and having a challenge of making a card which has to include three must-have items like a subject, colour and a letter.

I digress.  My team card for this challenge is from La Pashe.  An old go-to favourite.  I don't know what I would do without all their CDs.

Here is my card:
There is some decoupage and the sentiment die is an old favourite.  There is a story behind the backing paper.  I had one I particularly liked almost exactly like the one I have used but in better colour shades.  I searched my folders for it until I had to give up to save my sanity.  In the end,  I found a very small piece of it in my bits box and I scanned it to make a piece large enough to use.  I had to accept the colour and one day I will find the folder for which I have been searching.

The 'Hen House' is from The Best of La Pashe CD - value decoupage section.
Talking of eggs - well sort of - is anyone else getting cartons of mixed sizes in orders from the supermarket?  They do look odd but so far haven't made any difference to any recipe.

Keep safe and keep sane everybody.

  4. A great card Carol and clever you to think of scanning a small piece of backing paper to get the look you wanted. Drives me mad sometimes going through CDs trying to find something that I know is there somewhere.

    Strange you should comment about the eggs. I noticed a couple of days ago that they seemed not as uniform as usual.

  5. Hi Carol, yes I'm guilty too. That sounds a great group that you're a part of. I'm glad your crafting is helping you through these difficult weeks, even though trying to find items you know you have isn't!! And I think every crafter knows that feeling. I've recently discovered some items I've bought twice!!!

    Your card made me smile. I too often turn to La Pashe cd's. I love your sentiment die too.

    Stay safe and hopefully it won't be for too much longer.
