Digi Choosday Challenge - Feeling Cold Ice & Snow- Concertina Fold Card

Good morning another Tuesday nearer to Christmas and you never know we might get a White Christmas. That said I am here with another DT card for Digi Choosday and this week our challenge is Feeling Cold Ice & Snow

So lets see lots of Snowy and Icey creations.

Dont forget we have an amazing one day only discount on the blog so if you havent anything to use why not do a  little retail therapy 

So here is my card this was actually one of my samples 

for the Oddella Frosted Winter Cd show on Create & Craft.

Well today I am bringing you a Concertina Fold Card using Octivia Frosted Winter CD. Dont you just love this CD for all those Frosty images. 

This  has 2 pre coloured images on it The Ice Palace which has lots of added 3d gloss and also Hot Chocolate to keep you warm. The sentiment is also from the CD. All these can be purchased from the shop HERE. I have finished the card off with some embossing and Silver Organza Ribbon. The snowflake die is memory box.

So dig out those snow and ice images and come and play. Now if you would like some new ones why not take advantage of todays Discount code over on the challenge blog. Wish I could such a fab saving to be had. While you are there checkout the fab creations by the team done for your inspiration and show them some love.

Fairies & Fantasy at Crafty Catz with Morgans Art World & GDT CALL

Good morning hope your well and i see the Sun is starting to peep through the fog. Looks like another nice day. Sorry i have been missing I have been suffering with a bad neck and shoulders so was told to stop my Crafting and computer. OMG thankfully I had to do some sorting to get ready for my New Boiler or I would have gone mad. A days sorting took me a week.

Well enough of my  Woes let me share with you this weeks challenge at Crafty Catz.

This week we are sponsored by Morgans Art World so what better than this theme of

Fairies & Fantasy

So quickly onto my card using a wonderful image called Angel wings

now when I purchased this I was also sent a lovely freebie how brilliant was that so why not checkout the store. I am not 100% certain if this is normal or I was just lucky but I thought it was nice to say a thank you here.

I have kept my card very CAS with just a few Pearls and some yummy ribbon.

Image coloured with my Promarkers and paper is from First Edition . 

Distressed Ink on all the edges

Well before you go have you seen we are holding a GDT Call for the next 3 months and this will be our last for this year. We would love you to come and join us. We are very friendly and always happy to help. So if you havent been on a Design Team this would be an excellent introduction. Those of you that have we would love to get to know you a little better.

Well thanks for popping by and have a good weekend.

Off to get a brew and get some late sun on this shoulder.

Time for Something New - Digi Choosday

Good morning hope your all well. I am getting ready for my new boiler to be fitted tomorrow so busy day clearing stuff for the work men fingers, crossed it goes well.

Well today we would like to see NEW THINGS at Digi Chooseday. 

Before I go any further please do take advantage of the amazing Saving  that is on the challenge blog but only for today for the store.

Well what else could I show you other than the amazing new CD Octivia Frosted Winter. How ever my new thing is the technique Altering this frame. 

This is the frame before i started

I have used Chalk paint doing several layers and then rubbing Copper Gliding Wax on the raised edges to give a old feel. This was a very cheap white plastic frame. All this is to enhance this wonderful scene that I printed from the CD which you can purchase from the store HERE.

I so enjoyed doing this and think I will have to go buy another as this was sent to Nikky for one of the samples for the Create & Craft TV show. Think this is my crafty bargin for the month.

Well now it is your turn to share with us your New item. Is it a new Cd, Digital image that you love.

Come join us. Go checkout the rest of the teams creations and dont forget that code for the shop. Maybe buy a digital image and share it with us.

Thanks for popping by.

Catch you later.

Now I dont do many card shapes tend to stick with the usual Square but I do have a few card shapes I like to do for special cards. So I am sharing one of those.

My card features the fabulous CD - Octavia Frosted Winter. 
Oh the detail on this CD the papers and embellishments and images are just awesome. You can find the cd/download in the shop HERE. I have coloured this with my Promarker Pens and used lots of embellishments and sentiment from the CD. A dies used are a Xcut doily and Memory Box fence. Adding some glitter and nice big mesh bow to finish.
Now i do wonder what is your favorite shape card cant wait to see.
