CD Sunday Challenge - Imagine

Had fun playing with my marbling paints to make this background which I thought went with the bubbles. The image is from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted dreams CD. My butterfly border is a TH on the edge die which I cut then embossed with a dotty folder. Thank you for stopping by, all your comments are so appreciated.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 195 - Red, Brown and Cream

This week at Rainbow Lady's we are thinking colours, red, brown and cream. I have designed my 8 by 8 card in Craft Artist using a kit by Digilicious Designs called Autumn Grove. I do like her designs and I think this tree is such a lovely colour. We had one just like it opposite my house but it blew down in those gales a few years ago, I miss it, so this is homage to our lost tree.

C is for Cranes

Trying out my fairly new stamp and emboss folder from Sizzix and Hero Arts which I used to create the leaves as a backdrop to the cranes. The cranes were stamped and cut out then mounted on the tag. Both the cranes and the water are stamps from Kodomo Inc "Dancing Cranes". Cranes are a symbol of happiness and eternal youth, so all good. Thanks for looking.

Crafty Ann'a Challenge # 60 - Anything but a Card

My "not a card" is a 12 by 12 scrapbook page. The elements and main paper are from Crafty Ann's Cream Dream kit and I have added a background paper from her metallic collection. I put them together in Craft Artist. This is a lovely kit to work with and the soft tone seemed just right for a baby photo.
Do have a look at Crafty Ann's challenge blog for the projects from the rest of the design team. I look forward to seeing your entries.

On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Switzerland

My daughter lives and works in Basel so I started there with my research. I found that one of the world's greatest mathematicians was born there, so as an ex Maths teacher that was irresistible. His name is Leonard Euler ( pronounced oiler) and he lived from 1707 to 1783. He laid the foundations of Calculus, Topology and Graph Theory. A giant on whose shoulders others stand. One of the famous  things he did was address the problem of the 7 bridges of Konigsberg. In that city there were 7 bridges and people were trying to walk round it crossing each bridge once and only once. Can it be done?
My postcard shows the map of the bridges and a portrait of Euler. I zentangled in his name.
My book page is the cover of one of his books and the pocket a 10 Franc Swiss bank note which shows his picture.
Thank you all for your kind comments over the last few weeks.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 110 - Birdsong

My tag is inspired by the book story line and this picture of my lovely Grandad in his WW1 uniform. I created the background in Serif Craft Artist and added my stamped lady afterwards. She is from the stamp plate "Love letters straight from the Heart". Thank you for coming by to take a look. All your comments are much appreciated.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #194 - St David's Day

Over at Rainbow Lady's challenge this week we are celebrating St David's day so we would love you to join us with something Welsh. I have chosen Daffodils, the flower of Wales in a Welsh country setting. The topper is from The Big One CD by Le Pashe and is decoupaged. I mounted it onto a pastel yellow card die cut with a Martha Stewart punch. It is mounted on 8 by 8 card stock, I think I may have cropped the top! It is square in real life! Looking forward to seeing your entry.
