#110 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

We’ve had several Bank Holidays close together recently and I’m sure everyone has been busy enjoying time with their family and friends. At least I hope that’s why the number of entries to The CD Sunday Plus Challenge has been lower for the last two challenges. Hopefully once the last BH at the end of May is over we’ll see the numbers increase again – fingers crossed.

As usual the theme is Anything Goes - remember you must have used something printed from a CD, a USB or a digital download, you must state where the item used is from and you must make a physical item and not a digital one.

My design team entry for this challenge is the ATCs I made for two swaps I’m in. The theme for the first swap was pizza (two ATCs) and herbs and spices (one ATC) and for the second swap the theme was green and gold (two ATCs).

The ATCs in the first swap were all made using digikits in Serif Craft Artist with some 3D elements to add a bit of interest.

The ones for the second swap were crossed stitched patterns from a Sharon Duncan CD. I had to adjust the pattern slightly to fit the ATC size.

 Items used:

Serif Craft Artist digis used: Classic Transport (for black and white check background) Bloke At The Movies (for full pizza, empty box and Hasta quote), PJ Party (for slice of Pizza), Craft Scape English Town (for sky and grass background), Born 2 Shop Go Green (for Thyme quote), Mediterranean Market (for the sacks of spices), Craft Scape Garden Ornaments (for the herbs in pots).

Sharon Duncan Cross Stitch For Cards CD Rom (for rose and balloons). 

The challenge will close on Saturday 27^th May 2023 at 1pm – another Bank Holiday weekend LOL! And it will be my turn to host the challenge and pick the Top Three entries.

Don't forget that the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is now about making items using something printed from a craft CD Rom, USB or digital download. You can use other craft items on your card/project, such as a stamp or die, but you must include something printed from the new categories. You must also make a physical item and not a digital one. In your blog post/Facebook entry you must give the name of the printed item you've used.

#77 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

 Thanks to everyone who joined in with the last challenge which I hosted. My Top Three will be announced on the CD Sunday Plus blog next time. 

As usual the theme at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge is Anything Goes - remember you must have used something printed from a CD, a USB or a digital download, you must state where the item used is from and you must make a physical item and not a digital one.

The end of December is my next door neighbours’ youngest daughter’s birthday. As it was to be her 18^th birthday I wanted to make more than a card. She always puts my makes up on her bedroom wall so I decided to do a framed cross-stitch of a mermaid. She loves mermaids unlike her older sister who likes goth/punk/skulls! 

The pattern is by Lucie Heaton and I bought it through her Etsy shop and downloaded it. I couldn’t start it until after I’d made all my Christmas cards so it was a rush to get it done. I had to omit the rocks and sea plants at the bottom of the design and moved the shell and star to fill the gap.

 

The frame was made using Tonic Tailored Frames dies and Hunkydory Adorable Scoreable card – and no it didn’t crack when folded!

I just love all these quirky little creatures!

 

 The challenge will close on Saturday 5^th February 2022 at 1pm.
