Autumn Days

It's Jane's choice this week at CD Sunday and she has chosen the theme "Autumn Days". I chose an image from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse CD,  Autumn days should be clear and frosty in the morning with sunny afternoons and  cosy evenings in, by the fire, perhaps with a glass of wine or some hot chocolate with marshmallows of course.

Head on over to the challenge and see the other DT cards then please join us, as long as you use an element from a CD and name the CD you used you will be eligible for a top 3 pick I look forward to seeing your creations.

Remember the challenges are also posted  on Facebook as well.

Using a Craft CD

Welcome to our second Challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond, our challenge today is to use a Craft CD, I have several CD's which I turn to regularly, they offer a huge choice of images and papers. I have used Joanna Sheen's House Mouse CD 's in this post. The sentiments are from TLC

You can use the images in different ways, simply print off the page as it appears on the CD example below,or select a single image from the sheet, import it into your photo editing or graphics programme and use it from there, I often resize the images and add sentiments to them before I print them. I have shown a couple of examples of cards, some with backing papers and smaller images, others where the image is much larger.

 as page appears on Cd 

I hope you will join in with us , and look forward to seeing your cards.

Christmas

I hope everyone is warm and cosy, the weather here remains cold and wet with an odd shower of sleet, where has Spring gone?

Thank you all for taking the time to comment on my projects I really appreciate each one.

A very simple card today, it will probably go to one of the pupils on the school bus, hubby gives one to all the kids that travel on his bus. I was so tempted to add loads of embellishments and may still if I can get some candy canes.

Happy Birthday

Miserable day here we woke up to snow and hail stones, although it's not lying for long , we've had heavy showers at times and it is really cold, have both wood stoves on at the moment, and the house is lovely and cosy.

Image from House Mouse, teamed with papers from Nitwit Collections and a sentiment from Tattered Lace, I used a Sizzix die to cut lots of tiny flowers to add dimension.

Spring Feed

Hi I hope I have managed to visit most of the blogs I follow, if I have missed you, apologies, The dreaded internet is still not fixed.I have never been so frustrated with a problem before, it took 67min and 3 depts on Wednesday for them to escalate my complaint all I wanted to know was when the team that are responsible for underground cabling would be addressing the problem, got an answer today more than 48 hrs later that they should be finished by Monday evening.I'll wait and see I'm not holding out much hope.

This fun image is from The House Mouse Triple Cd, he's obviously eaten far too much and needs rescuing. Love the Spring colours in the image, so teamed it with yellows blues and greens.

Just Because

A CAS card today,I'm really trying to make some cards suitable for posting at the normal postage rates.I printed off the digital stamp image from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Triple CD Rom and coloured it with Promarkers, there are quite a few stamps on the CD to colour yourself.

Having a quiet day today after a hectic few days away, Miserable and dull outside, but I don't really need an excuse to craft.

Jingle All The Way

Hoping this finds you all well, tank you to my followers for their continuing support and comments, they are much appreciated. A quick card for today a simple layout using an image and papers from The House Mouse Triple CD Rom from Joanna Sheen.

I am almost ready for Christmas just waiting on several items my son ordered from Amazon, as usual dealing with Amazon (10 items ordered) has not been easy. Despite all the items being in stock and all are due to arrive tomorrow, they split the order in 3 , they called payment for the 1st part of the order , they then called for the 2nd part of the payment and e-mailed requesting we update the card details as the payment had been declined, on phoning the Bank they said no payment had been requested , somehow during a conversation with Customer Services at Amazon the payment was successfully completed, no new details given. Yes when the called for the 3rd part, the same problem, Bank again said no payment had been requested , hubby confirmed the card details with Customer Services and miraculously the payment went through. then today an e-mail saying the 3rd item was ready to dispatch and they would be calling the payment down, despite already having it. A shambles to say the least, why on earth they split the order into 3 parts I don't know and they were unwilling to give any explanation.  Enough moaning from me.

Wrapped with Love

I printed this image the other day when I was using my House Mouse Cd  for my last card and made a quick simple card this afternoon. The sentiment is from the Desert Diva and seemed to fit the image perfectly. The little mouse is almost lost under the huge pile of presents that appear to be beautifully wrapped.

Get Well Soon

It's  always handy to have a get well card  ready to post and this image is from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Triple CD, the mouse with the leg injury doesn't seem at all upset at having a bandage applied. I've kept my card really simple for posting and because the image is quite large.The sentiment is from the desert diva who generously offers free sentiments on her blog at least a couple of times a month.

A dull day here so I'm off to do some grocery shopping and have a coffee in Huntly.

Choir

It was a beautiful day yesterday, we spent most of it in the garden tidying up before the weather changes, it's totally satisfying to see the effects of your hard work, I've still to pick the apples and pears from the trees, this has been a great year for them, but will leave that as long as possible, then some will be cooked and frozen and some made into chutneys. My diary is also pretty full for the next 2 weeks, meeting with friends and relatives I haven't seen for a while.
Thank you for your much appreciated comments on my last few cards, I do enjoy reading them.

Today's card is another for the Christmas box which is filling up quite nicely.
