Anything Goes at CD Sunday








It's my choice for the challenge at CD Sunday today, and I have chosen a nice easy one for you "Anything Goes" 

There is a story behind my choice of image, many years ago my husband had two pairs of chipmunks they were housed in a large shed in pairs, each pair had a huge run complete with a tree and housing unit. When he was feeding them one of the rascals  slipped out of it's enclosure into the main shed, hours later, I was instructed to take off my tights, he threw them over it and returned it to it's run, I hate to think what our neighbours would have thought if they had heard him.

 Remember you must use something from a Cd and to let us know which Cd you used in order to win a prize or be in the top 3. Please visit the Challenge Blog and take a peek at the team's cards, look forward to seeing your creations there.

You can now enter on our face book page if you don't have a blog.

Stepper Card at Back to Basics and Beyond





Thank you to everyone who has joined in the first six challenges , and welcome to the today's Challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond this fortnight we would like to see a Simple Stepper card, there are lots of ideas on Pinterest.

I decided to use a topper from Hunkydory and cut my side stepper base to suit it's measurements.A music die from Crafter's Companion (I thought the robin looked as though he was singing his heart out and it would be the perfect embellishment )and Poinsettia from Tattered lace to finish it off.

We would love you to join in, pop over to the challenge site and see the other Design Team makes , look forward to seeing you there.

Totally Girly




This month at Crafty Calendar we are sponsored by Pink Gem Designs and Crafty Ribbons our theme is " Totally Girly"  My card uses the image Snail Home provided by our sponsor and is paper pieced digitally using Nitwit Collections papers.Now it may not appear to be very girly but it is for a neighbours daughter who has just had a very fancy play house built for her, so a card suitable for that.

Do drop in to be inspired the DT cards for this month, hope to see you there.

Bah Humbug






This card was given to my elder son last Christmas but never blogged, he has a Bah Humbug attitude to giving cards, spends a fortune on gifts but point blank refuses to buy card. Luckily he has a sense of humour and this didn't bother him in the slightest, I think he was rather proud of it honestly.
