 We are now up to challenge CCC#32.

Theme: Background with stars

Colour: Red

Letter: C

Those above criteria can only mean Christmas -  so here is my entry:

I used a starry background design from a Carol Anne's Studios CD.  The Father Christmas image comes from La Pashe with the border and sentiment added using my graphics programme. Then I just added a few peel off red stars.

I wasn't the successful one in the last draw so my wonderful handsome Harrison Ford went off to pastures new. 😢

So with this little card may I wish an early Happy Christmas - and don't all shout at once please.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #49 - hosted by Pamela

 Our challenge is 'Anything Goes' as usual, but of course, remembering to use either a CD, USB or Digital image - or any combination of the aforementioned  - somewhere in the making.

Like my last challenge make I have made this one before -  but slightly differently.

I have used one of Carol Anne's CDs again .  I must put them away for a while.  For these ATCs I used  Carol Anne's Studio  CD 14 - Glitz 'n' Bitz.

These have been decoupaged and had some pearl heart embellishments added,  and are now just awaiting an appropriate ATC swap.

I look forward to some serious blog hopping and hope that you will visit me too.

 Our weekly challenges seem to come round very quickly.

This time:

Theme: Hollywood Celebrity

Colour: Yellow

Letter: M

I have 'worshipped' this icon of the film industry from afar since he first appeared on the silver screen.

Hence the sentiment.

Here are my latest two entries into one of the challenges.

Here is CCC#29

Theme: Ice Cream

Colour: Green

Letter: U

I was the lucky winner of the draw so I get to keep my card and receive the other entries.

This is CCC#30 - this weeks challenge.

Theme: Lighthouse

Colour: Orange

Letter: C

For this one I found a sepia/grey scale print on the internet and coloured it myself using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I also found the saying on the 'net and used my graphics programme to add it and the border to the picture. The backing paper is some rainbow paper that I keep for when I am backing parchment projects.  I printed out the finished image onto glossy photo paper which gives it a lift.

I enjoy these little challenges and have only missed a few at the beginning.  A change from Christmas/Birthday cards and ATCs.

Hugs

CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 48 - Anything Goes - hosted by Carol (me)

For this challenge I revisited something that I had done for a previous challenge ( way back in 2013) but altered it a little so it isn't exactly the same.  This came about because at the time I was using an old CD favourite of mine by Carol Anne's Studio - Carol Ann's Studio Midi CD-4 Flutterby Purple (here)  -  and I remembered this one and wanted to make it again.

 Here it is:

Here are some extra photos to show  it all:

And here are a few samples of the tags and sayings that are inside - ready to be used in and on future cards.

 I loved making these and hope you enjoyed looking at them.

Hugs

Diwali

Here is a card I have made for a Diwali Festival challenge.  I have used a pattern from Stitching cards with Gutermann Sulky threads, glitter card and some blue gems.

I enjoyed making the card and am looking forward to seeing all the entries into the challenge. There is much you can do.  The following is the description,  and the suggestions, by the organiser.

'Diwali is the Festival of Lights.
You could use, divas (candles), peacocks, henna /paisley patterns, elephants, Ganesh (the elephant headed God), fireworks, water lilies/ lotus flowers, mandalas! You can use paper stamps stickers fabric etc.' 

As you can see I chose a peacock for my theme.

 November 14th is Diwali Festival Day.  Happy Diwali.
