We are good here. I thought that Teallach and I would have a quiet weekend as Alistair and the "Boys" were off on their adventures again. They were going into the Torridon Mountains for the holiday weekend and left with all their toys on Friday afternoon. Both Teallach and yours truly crossed paws and fingers that the weather wood be good. Received a phone call last night from beloved hubby to say they were coming home as there was a hurricane blowing and the the guy ropes on the tepee were ripped off and the game was a bogey, and if that wasn't bad enough, the rain stared to come down in chunks....apparently. So I do not believe in the power of crossed fingers any more.
Anyway, enough of that, here is my card share today,
The name of the CD is Kimono by Crafters Companion, there are some gorgeous images on it. I used a Chinese Lantern die from Die'sire and a few gems and sequins.
Thank you everyone who visited and left comments on my last card, it's really appreciated.
So that's me for now, I hope you are having a lovely Holiday weekend, mine is scuppered due to the weather, and now I've to listen to the fiddle playing and thumping as my Darling practices, poor Teallach is under the table.

Wow - what a tale Kate - imagine the weather being so bad - so sorry! Its glorious here! CD crafting always had that effect on me - as did using digi images for the same printer issue reasons!!! I will only use proper stamps now!!! Big hugs Rachel.... sorry - your card is lovely...good for you for persisting!!!!
Beautiful card and well worth the trouble it took to make. Shame about the weather. Typical bank holiday . Hugs Mrs A.
Beautiful card Kate, what a shame your peaceful weekend was spoiled a little ! I know what you mean about printing from CDs, I only use my printer really for printing digi stamps not papers as it drinks the ink up and they are so expensive too.
Have a lovely bank holiday Monday,
Hugs Kaz xx
Hi Kate, it i a beautiful image and your card is lovely. I always have trouble printing them too.

I echo your sentiments when it some to CD crafting Kate, takes me so long I've usually forgotten what I planned by the time I find it. But very much like your lady in the moon, a very serene image.

A beautiful card Kate. I used to use CDs in my crafting, especially the Joanna Sheen ones but my printer broke about two years ago and I didn’t get another one. I do miss it though when it comes to personalising cards. Wishing you a happy and sunny day x
This is gorgeous Kate, love the beautiful image and gorgeous. I know exactly what you mean about CD crafting too. I used to do a fair bit of it in the beginning until I discovered stamping. :) Enjoy your day.
Hugs

Hi Kate
What a lovely image. I lasted about 2 cards into CD crafting and, as you say, I was not thrilled with the ink usage.
Sorry your weekend was disrupted. It's been a glorious few days here.
You'll have to buy you and T Boy some ear plugs or Alistair a soundproofed shed lol!

A beautiful, unusual image Kate. Such a pretty
card. I used to use Joanna Sheen CD's, some beautiful images
but as you say, they do use a lot of ink !
Hugs Jennifer xx.
Gorgeous card Kate hope your enjoying the gorgeous weather huggles Sue xx
Beautiful card Kate ! Our printer won’t print onto card at all only onto very thin copy paper ! Hope you are enjoying the better weather xx
Ι am sorry for the bad weather, Kate.
Your card is amazing. I love the image and the lantern. Kisses, my friend.
Stunning so serene.xx[aussie aNNie blog]
Alistair certainly is the adventurer Kate, sorry to hear his trip didn't go to plan but better to be safe at home!
I have a few CDs and rarely use them, there are probably lots of images on them that I've forgotten about - this is a beautiful one, lovely card

I do think it was well worth the time and the agro as this card is so pretty.
I have a confession...I own 5 CD's now and have never used one! I want to but am not quite sure how! Three were a gift from Sue Tossell and when I go to England this summer, she will show me how to use them! Yay!
A very stylish and pretty. Marlene
A gorgeous card. So pleased you shared with us at Back to Basics and Beyond. We would love for you to visit us again. Caz DT.
I haven't used any of my CD's for years, and not really much good if I wanted to as I now have a Mac and they don't work properly on that anyway. I love this pretty image and the background goes beautifully. The lantern die is a great embellishment too. Sorry Hubby had to come home early from his weekend due to bad conditions. I know what you mean, sometimes it's nice to have the place to oneself to do whatever you like without interruption..lol. x
If nothing else, we have to keep our senses of humor, don't we, Kate?! And you certainly have yours intact! I love your card and really loved your post writing about the weekend!! Thank you for the chuckles! Lots of hugs, Darnell
