Clouds card

Good afternoon friends, as it's Saturday once
again I have another 'Less is More' card to share
 with you today.
 
 
 
It's a recipe this week and they would like
us to 'Add a tag' on our projects.
 

I decided to use some distress inks again.
I made a 'sky' background and added a 
few clouds. One of the clouds I used as
a tag. 
 
 
I hope you like it.......thanks for looking
and  any comments ;)
Have a lovely weekend whatever you have
 planned.
 
 
ps. Had quite a shock on Thurs as our eldest son
rang us from A&E saying he was there after
 having bad chest pains. He thought he may
 be having a heat attack!
 
 
 Luckily it turned out to be  just muscle pain.It
 was probably from a push bike accident he had
 a few days earlier. 
 
 
A girl on her bike came out straight in front of
 him without looking and they collided.
He was left bleeding from the knee and hurt
 his shoulder etc. Phew so pleased it was just that.

Pink Lady Art Deco card

Hi friends just a quick post today. I made 
this fold back card today, engineering fold??
 ( not sure what the right name  for it is ?).
 
 
 It's quite a change for me making
such a fancy type card after my usual 
CAS ones. I enjoyed making it though
so there may be more soon lol.
 
 
Come and have a closer look and see
what you think anyway. Ahem....
yes back to my usual pink again too!!!
 
 
I added a few photo's as it was hard to 
show the shape/inside otherwise. I 
will add a sentiment and name on the
blank die cut inside when I decide 
who it's for.
 
 
 
Enjoy your weekend everyone ;)

Enjoy your day card

Hello my lovely friends, it's a very sunny Spring
day here, I do hope you have the sun too.
 
 
As it's Saturday yet again I have another
'Less is More' card to share with you again.
Inspiration came quickly today luckily, don't you
 just love it when that happens (smiles).
 
 
This week the theme is......
 
 
Up, up and away!
 
 
"For this one you can think balloons, planes, other
 things that fly and things that can be carried along
on the breeze. Let your imagination take flight!"


Anyway this is what I came up with, come 
and have a closer peek. Btw. see my last post for a
 very different card from me ! Enjoy your weekend
whatever you have planned, I am just relaxing ;)


ps. I saw an idea in blogland about replacing glue
tops with babies bottle nipple things. It helps the
 glue to come out in a straight thin line and doesn't
 get the top all clogged up et. etc.


 It looked like  a great idea, it seemed to work,
I smiled at the simplicity of it. It did work for  a
 couple of times too but then......disaster.....
... the top flew off and I was covered in glue!



All over my best black jeans ( will I ever learn not
 to wear stuff which isn't old whilst crafting !) All
over the card I had just made and all over  my desk.
Arrrghhh, I wasn't best pleased to say the least lol.
My advice is.....just don't go there folks!

Just Because card

Hi friends, it's a lovely sunny day here today,
I hope you all have some sun too.
 
 
 
I am popping by to share another card I
have made for the 'Less is More' challenge this
 week. It has to be 'one layer' and the theme is...
 
 
'Splatters'
 
 
I made a similar card to my last one. Distress
 inking again but I used  turquoise shades instead 
of blue  this time. I also confined my 'splattering' 
to a  smaller area on my card. Hope you all 
approve.
 
 
 
I seem to be in a 'blue' phase atm. Well at least
it isn't pink for a change lol ! Anyway come 
and have a peek at my card below.
 
 
 
 
Have a lovely Sunday everyone and enjoy your 
week ahead. I think we may have good weather
 too, woo hoo !! I see another beach trip may be
called for then ;)

Birthday Wishes card

Good morning friends, I hope all is well with you.
As it's Saturday again I have another 'Less is More'
card to share with you today.
 
 
This week we have to make a.......
 
 
 
"One Layer Card 
and we would like you to include
Splatters"
 "These could be applied in any way you choose,
 stamped, flicked, spritzed, dropped, whatever!"


This is what I came up with,first  a bit of distress
inking for the background. Then I stamped my 
image and coloured the flowers using a darker 
shade of distress ink.



 I spritzed some silver ink over it all,
 stamped the sentiment and job done.That
sounds easy I know, but we all know it isn't
........  right lol ?!?!



Have a lovely weekend friends whatever you
 have planned. I am resting mainly today, the
air quality hasn't been great here for the last 
few days and it isn't helping my Asthma or
 hay fever one little bit.



On the plus side we had a lovely day at the
 beach yesterday , our first this year. The air 
quality was much better there too.....and we had
 an ice-cream!



ps. a big welcome to my latest followers too,
 welcome aboard and thanks for choosing me ;)

Thinking of you, scene card

Good morning lovely friends, I hope you are all
 having a lovely Easter. We had a great time
 yesterday with all our children and grandchildren.
 
 
The grandchildren enjoyed the usual egg hunt
in our garden (I made my grown up children do it
 every year until their own children where old enough
 to do it he he) I hid 16 small sized eggs 
( so the littlest would find some) and 121 tiny ones!
 
 
We also did an Easter egg and spoon races this year.
I like to keep them all entertained. The adults
had to have a go too and the funniest one was 
between our two sons as the eldest boy knocked 
the egg from  his brother's spoon at the very
 start and just ran to the finish, typical joker!
 
 
Oh and it made me smile as my two sons both 
brought lots of take away clear boxes to take
 home left over food lol. He he they know me
well, of course I did too much food as unsual.
 
 
Another smile too. One of our young grandsons
 ( he is just 3) was  saying goodbye to
 our daughter (his aunt) and he just picked up
 her hand and kissed it and said goodbye. Hmm
 he will be a real charmer with the ladies I think!
 His parents were just as surprised as we were too,
no idea where he picked that up from.
 
 
 
 
  Everyone loved all the food I am pleased to
 say and ate lots so it was all worth it.Btw.yes
 the triple choc salted caramel  merangue went
down a storm too, just as well we weren't
 counting calories yesterday!
 
 
 
Anyway enough rambling, I have another
 'Less is More'  card to share with you again.
It's a colour theme this week and ...
 
 
 Predominantly Black! 


I used post it notes and distress inks to create
 a little scene. A bit of stamping and job done.
My lovely OH made me this wooden board
to use for my photographs, wasn't that kind
 of him ;) 
 
 
Craft room tidying is going well !
My OH also made me a little shelf thing
to put all my inks in too (pics soon).
Enjoy what's left of the Easter holidays, I 
will be mostly resting today after a busy day
 yesterday.

With Love card

Hi there friends, I hope you are all enjoying a 
lovely Easter. As it's Saturday yet again....
 (where did March go to?) I am sharing my
 'Less is More' card today.
 
It's a colour challenge this week and......
 
 
Predominantly Black! 


"Your whole card doesn't have to be all black and 
you may use a little of another colour, but whatever
 you add to your design, even if it's minimal, should
 be mainly black.


So think silhouettes, monochrome, ombre, chalkboard
 technique... there doesn't have to be a lot of black...
 if your design is minimal, it just needs to be
 the predominant colour."


This is what I came up with, come and have a 
closer look.....well after reading my usual rambling
 below first if you so wish ;)


ps. I am busy cooking today as we are having 
the children and grandchildren over tomorrow.
I tend to cook for an army too, just cannot help
 it.


 My daughter once invited other people
without telling me. She said 'Well I knew
 there would be enough food....and there was lol!
Savoury quiche now in oven and about to start my
huge fresh cream triple chocolate & salted
 caramel merangue ( lots of
 small choc eggs on  top).


 Already made some small choc nests with
 choc eggs on. Mango salsa, jasmine rice, and 
Neiman Marcus starter to do yet.
Will do the rest tomorrow, wish me luck.


Oh and I can't find a thing in my craft room
after doing  a major sort out arghhh! Ooh
and I now have my new camera lens too,
whoopee!!!!



Happy Easter my lovely friends :)

Easter cards

Hello there playmates, today I have a few
Easter cards to share with you. I didn''t
make many this year and they were
all very similar.
 
 
 
I want to make so many cards, I know I 
have a few going around in my head right now.
Alas my craft room sorting had to come first.
 
 
 
I am slowly getting there now too yipee!
Lots of bags have gone to my friend to
 recycle to worthy groups . A few bin bags
of rubbish  have been filled also.



Anyway come and have a closer look
at my Easter cards.I wish you all a
very Happy Easter too ;) xx
