All I want card

Hi everyone, here is another card for the 'LIM' challenge this week. Here is the inspirational pic we have to use.     Here's what I came up with, I even remembered to  use some stitching this time too.    'JustInklined' digi image ( I removed the ball and  chain part). Computer  generated sentiment, coloured  with Promarkers &  glamour dusted the bow and  'Shoe' wording part.     The gorgeous shoe and red sole reminds me of  a  similar very expensive pair of Louboutin's my niece  wore to her  wedding ( pic below).Aren't they fabulous!      While looking for a  pic of them I stupidly  managed   to safely remove my external hard drive & the safely remove  button. Much panic ensued  ( I am not good at computer  stuff & soon panic)..... until order was returned with help  from my son lol. Now I  need a large glass of something!      ps. A big welcome to my latest follower too, welcome aboard  

Anyway enough rambling YET again, sorry !!!...... here is my  card, hope you like it...............and relax :)

   

The quote is by Katherine Hepburn btw., probably too small to see here.

     

Green shoe card

Hi friends, another warm day here & another Saturday ! That means it's time for yet another 'Less is More' card. The theme this time is..................    

"For our recipe this week we have a killer picture inspiration for you.

Are these shoes fab or are they fab?"

  "We'd love to see where these take you!"     Oh aren't those just AMAZING shoes, I have shoe envy  now lol ! Not that I wear my high ones too often now. I took my inspiration from the lovely shoes,   not black....... but very dark shading on this digi  and green for a change.    I used a very old Sketching stamper  digi called  'The shoe'. Computerized sentiment and a touch  of glamour dust. Some yummy Diamond dust on the top part  of the shoe ( so textured & sparkly not sure it shows here  though) .Also some chalking, Promarkers and job  done......and relax !     Doh......I could have added some stitching around the edge  to reflect the shoes in the inspirational pic.......hmmm alas too  late though.     Just imagine it please .....tiny black stitching all around the inside edge close to the green chalking........Thankyou well imagined :)   ps. Now added a close-up pic.      

Pink flowers card

Hi everyone, phew still boiling here at 26c! Made some yummy blackcurrant jam with our own berries last night.  It tasted so good on some freshly cut bread today too.   Sorry enough rambling, here is yet another card with  flowers on. Hope you aren't sick of  seeing  them now lol. This is a card I have been trying to finish for days  now, ( Mojo gone missing!).However  I managed it at  last today....and yes it's PINK too !     ps. another digi page here (see below) of our son and DIL.    

Adding a link HERE for an old tutorial on how I make my flowers as requested.

The oval sentiment is centred although doesn't  look it here because of the angle.I made this one a while ago, hope it's not too busy for LIM.My mojo has gone atm. I fear.

Flowers and leaves card

Hi everyone, it's 'scorchio'( 27c still at 6pm) here again today  yippee!!!    Almost a disaster today, a car came out of a side road   and almost hit us side on. It stopped midway in our road in  front of us.When we looked inside there was no driver !      It had rolled down a slope into our path on a busyish road. We  stopped the traffic and OH knocked on the door of a shop it was  parked outside of. The driver came out swearing and no sign of  a thankyou either.No damage to it luckily.   Anyway enough rambling !  Here is a quick post to show you  a card I made for the 'LIM'  challenge this week. Details below........     ps. Our lovely new conservatory windows are in at last.We  just  have to fix the guttering back etc. and do the inside shelf.  Really pleased with them though.Now we have to replace one  of the back conservatory ones and  a patio door.OH built them  both front and back of our bungalow to conserve heat. Works  like a dream too :).........not that we need it in this heat lol !

Hi friends, phew it's so hot here today 27C (it  says on my computer) and registering 40C in our sunlounge! Loving it of course , no aches & pains for a change :)    Anyway here is another quick post for the 'Less is More'  challenge again before I melt away.

I used a Savvy die 'Tree' and glamour dusted it, distress inked the  background in various shades of grey, drew a few birds and job done.   ps.

Shades of Grey card

Hi friends/bloggers it's a beautiful sunny hot day today. I hope you all have good weather wherever you are today. Over at 'Less is More' it's as colour theme this time and .....    Shades of Grey   After much thought I came up with this idea.......well several really. You choose which you like best, I kept adding and taking bits away,...... faffing really ! I like the first one best I think.      I tried adding various shades of grey in them all though. ps. Off to sit in the sun now if it's not too hot. We are getting our above ground swimming pool ready as all the children and babies are coming tomorrow I think.   Should be very hot, so a quick dip and lots of ice lollies all round I think.  Enjoy the weekend whatever you have planned :)
