CD Sunday - #4 - 'Anything Goes' using something from a craft CD - hosted by Wynn

Welcome to #4 - another 'Anything Goes' challenge - this one hosted by fellow teamie Wynn.   The teamies -  including myself - are all enjoying this new freedom to choose any theme as long as a craft CD has been used.
For this challenge, I have chosen to make a birthday card for a friend who has an April Birthday. Although this isn't an actual Easter card it does hint that Spring is on the way. (The friend doesn't follow my Blog so won't see this).

Here is the card:

The image and the sentiments are all from La Pashe - The Big One Vol 2 - 'Sports and Hobbies' and the background is from ??  I cannot remember at the moment.  There is a little decoupage.

We hope you will join in with us. If you care to leave a comment on your way past it would be very welcome. I look forward to visiting your Blog.    I know that when I go visiting I always find something new to admire ----or to buy!
Don't forget we are on Facbook here or you can email us at cdsunday2@gmail.com

I look forward to visiting you or hearing from you.

CD Sunday - #3 – ‘Anything Goes’ using something from a craft CD - hosted by Meg

Good morning.  I think everyone has some snow by now,  but I hope it isn't too bad wherever you are. Here in Surrey, we have had a couple of falls and it is staying at the moment.  It does look very pretty but I am glad I don't have to go out in it.

On to crafty things that we can do in the warm.

We are still having 'Anything Goes' - using a craft CD - as our theme and this one is #3.

For this one, I took the opportunity to make my eldest son his birthday card (last week).  I have actually used this design before (here) and as I particularly like it I decided to use it again - slightly differently though.

Here is the card:

The image comes from a Joanna Sheen  CD - Victorian Ladies and Gentlemen Disc 1. There are a couple of areas of decoupage - the balloon and the large wheel/fan?  The top layer of the wheel has been attached with a brad.
The sentiment is a new favourite die. I think it is from here.

I hope you are going to join in with us. 'Anything Goes' gives you carte blanche as long as you have used something from a craft CD and tell us which one.

I look forward to more Blog visiting to see your wonderful creations.
Hugs

CD Sunday - #2 – ‘Anything Goes’ using something from a craft CD - hosted by Jane

CD Sunday are revisiting 'Anything Goes' but this time hosted by Jane.

I have made a Birthday card this time instead of ATCs.  For some time now amongst a folder of photos of butterflies on my computer there has been a snap that I took myself in my own garden. This beautiful butterfly was visiting my Sedum flower heads. They were still in bud so there wasn't any pollen or nectar for him to find but he settled long enough for me to rush and get my camera. I am not sure of the breed but it is very similar to the spotted fritillary,  Here is the original photo:

I knew what background I wanted to use as it is one I have used before from MCS. I used it here:

The background came from MCS Watercolour World 1 CD.  Obviously, the colouring had to be changed and I had fun with colours and hues. So after some satisfying playing and then using my ACDSee graphics programme (CD based) I added the sentiment and the borders. I gave the butterfly one decoupaged layer.
Here is my card:

Hope you like the result.
Please come and join in with us at CD Sunday.  Please, please remember though to use something from a craft CD in the making of your project.  It is amazing the entries we receive that have no CD content at all. We even had an entry from someone who hadn't used a craft CD but told us which music CD was listened to whilst she worked.
Don't forget you can also enter by email or Facebook. Details are on the CD Sunday Blog here.

CD Sunday - #1 - 'Anything Goes' - hosted by Carol (moi)

Happy New Year wishes to everyone. If you made any resolutions I hope you are keeping them. The best way to keep them is, of course, not to make them. Safer that way.

For our challenge - #1 - Anything Goes - I have chosen to make some ATCs. I have made 9 to add to my stash and here they are:

I have used a background for them all from MCS - Country Life CD - Background - 43 and the actual ATC backs are printed using a Carol Ann's Studio CD.
I haven't made any of them 3D this time but they all have had 'raindrops' added using a Sakura pen.

I hope a good Christmas was had by all. My household was full of coughing - and in fact still is. Beware -  there is a nasty bug doing the rounds. Just to add to the icing on the cake the boiler needed urgent repairs and we had a couple of very cold days without heating and hot water but all is warm and toasty now.

As you will have seen from earlier CD Sunday Blog postings we are only going to be giving prizes for three special challenges later in the year. We will still be posting our Top 3 choices for our normal challenges and it will be my turn for this challenge - #1 Anything Goes.
Please join in with us and if you haven't a Blog you can email us at cdsunday2@gmail.com or join in on Facebook.
Let's hope that 2019 is a good year.
Take care.
Hugs
Carol
