CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #77 - Anything Goes - hosted by Jo

 I hope all are well and enjoying your crafting.  I have noticed a very very small improvement in the pain from the double Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that is plaguing me.   I had a phone consult with a Pain Consultant and he told me to up the dose of the medication and I think that is working.  Fingers crossed - if I could.

This means that I have an all digital card to show you for this challenge:

I found an image of a vase of roses and used it to make a background using my Kaleidoscope CD.  I then added a border to the original image using my ACDSee Graphics programme and then printed it out to use as a topper.  I added the sentiment to the topper with the same ACDSee programme.

The flat sparkly enamel type gems were used in the corners.

I love the old fashioned oil painting look to the image. 

I would usually be starting my Christmas cards by now but instead I am having to source images to use digitally.  Not quite what I intended but actually I am enjoying it.

I will be visiting all the entries and making comments when I can.  Happy crafting.

 Here is my first Card for Kindness for 2022.  I was sent my 'name' a few days ago and I have managed to make a card but it had to be a digitally produced one I am afraid.  It could be that way for a while yet but I couldn't not make one.  If that makes sense.  Card making and crafting is what I do and I am so bored with the TV - I can't tell you.

Anyway I used my Serif Craft Artist 2 and produced this card.

 I did find some synthetic water drops in my stash to add for effect.

This is winging it's way in the post and I hope the recipient likes it.  I had to do the inside greeting using my Dymo Letratag.  A boon when you can't do any handwriting.

Hugs

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #76

I hope that a good and safe Christmas and New Year was had by everyone.  My Christmas plans were changed at the last minute. I was due to host a family Christmas at my place but due to daughter, son in law and nephew all testing positive I had to go down to Bristol to spend Christmas with my sister.  Not a hardship but she was supposed to be coming to me.

My first CD Sunday Plus card for 2022 is a birthday card for one of my Great Nephews - Arlo.  I remember that I started off last year with a card for the same nephew.  Last time it was a spaceship and this time it is a puffer train.

 

The image - which I have decoupaged -  comes from the La Pashe Big One CD  - Volume 1 - Remember When?

This has made a 6" x 8" (almost) card and I love these big and bold images.  They make such great cards for little ones.

Now that Arlo has a new younger brother (there are now three little terrors) I will have to find some  more and different images for future cards. I am sure that I will find something on La Pashe.

So a latish Happy New Year from me and I look forward to your visits chez-moi.
