Silver Hello card

Good afternoon friends, and a lovely warm sunny day it is here I am pleased to say. Hope it's as good wherever you are too !     I have my usual 'Less is More' card to share with you today. So busy yesterday with the 'littlies' so no time to make it until  now, more about that later though.     It's a 'recipe' this week over at LIM  and...............     SOMETHING SHINY   This is what I came up after a bit of thought.I layered some vellum after a bit of stamping. Soft shades of blue/green,  a touch of silver for the 'something shiny' & a few clear sparkly sequins.     Anyway come and have a closer look......  The usual ps. bit is below my card today as it goes on forever lol. Ok to just see  my card instead ;)

I decided to do a 'dinosaur' day for our grandchildren yesterday ;) Any excuse really lol !    I printed out lots of dinosaur pictures/ games, bought loads of dinosaurs  (rubber or plastic). Cut out dinosaur 'feet' and left a trail all through the house.   They each had a dinosaur name, Charliesaurus, Alexanderapter and Lanatops. and crocodile 'hats' from the good old £ shop.   The children loved it, I renamed their play tent to 'Dino Den' ....although Charlie said it was a pirate tent still after the last pirate day ;)   I left a trail of dinosaur cards for a garden  treasure type hunt which went down very  well with them. Each had their own initial & a  number on the back and they had to bring it to  daddy to check of a list.   The prize was a dinosaur each, ( wrapped in  layers of newspaper so it resembled a  large egg). Charlie was disappointed it  wasn't chocolate though ;)   After a few more dinosaur memory games  they had 'monster' stilt feet to walk in. Then their most loved game the 'dinosaur obstacle  course'.    They had to pick up a small coloured ball (dinosaur egg) cross a chair, walk on 'dinosaur' eggs ( cut out of card) without  touching the carpet.    Then over a bench and through the 3 part  tunnels ( bought for last 'do'...so popular  with them that!).    The naughty daddies and granddad tried to  catch them as they went through the tunnels  and pretended to be dinosaurs lol.   Then they had to deposit their 'egg' into a  large bowl and start all over again. It proved so popular with them they used the 8 'eggs', they I quickly replaced them again and again so the game could continue lol.    Those boys move sooooo fast now,so much laughing.... it was  all a blur. I think I lost  several lbs in the process and it tired the  boys out.....for a while too ;)   They each got a kinder egg at the end, so Charlie was very happy. It was also a celebration for our eldest son's birthday (2 days earlier) so Charlie loved helping put candles on the cake.     He helped daddy to blow them out too ;) Cake is Charlie's passion so he had a piece too along wth Alexander and Lana....silence prevailed.   I won't mention the 'bones' I made and cooked  using a salt dough recipe. I hid them in damp sand for a fossil dig.    Disaster!!!! Alexander flicked sand in his eye and  Charlie put sand everywhere.We gave up after that..... I found out later all the hard 'bones' had gone soggy  in the sand overnight so I threw them away!   Ooh sorry this goes on forever.......well done if you read it all lol. I am already planning a  'jungle' day next. With vines and big leaves and monkeys hanging from them.    Yes I am mad!!! What would I do without grandchildren now??
