Hi everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. I had
a lovely one as you can see in my last post where I am cuddling
my two young grandsons. It won't be often you see a photo of
me lol. I cannot believe how old I look now argghhh! Anyway
I wish all my fellow bloggers/followers a very Happy New Year.
..............Esp. all my lovely LIMette friends who have inspired me
all throughout last year, I cannot thank you all enough. Right onto
my very first card of 2013........it was a real struggle,details below.
It's week 101 over at 'Less is More' and it's a colour challenge
this week which is.............
BLACK and WHITE
with a touch or a splash, a hint or suggestion, a dab or a patch of
a colour of your choice!
The idea being that the black and white are predominant
and the added colour is subtle.
Card Recipe
Card Linen white 'Papermill shop'
Black card from stash
Leaf die Marianne creatables ( I used the negative and placed black card behind it)
Butterfly die Memory box 'Butterfly delights'

Challenges

ps. Sorry for the long post.
I think I have lost my mojo! Such a hectic Christmas, then
my OH decided to hit the ground running the day after Boxing day
and start decorating and sorting a spare bedroom.....with my help of
course.So much 'stuff ' in there arghhh! I am exhausted , but the room
is quite empty now, (several trips to charity shop) . OH is staining
the wooden floors,we ripped all the carpet out and the beautiful wooden
floor is the last one to be reinstated now.I just couldn't get back into
card making for some reason, but I did make a start on some
new jewellery which I am loving now.More pics soon. xx

I'm struggling too...perhaps we are all just worn out from the rush of the holidays! But...I have to say that your card doesn't show your struggles...it's perfect with the negative die and the tiny little butterfly.
love the die cut viv

Die cut is fab! Great card Viv. x
This is gorgeous Viv xx Jan
Such an elegant die Viv, gorgeous card:) Love the new photos of the boys, Alex looks cute in his Santa outfit, Charlie wore one too:) Your Charlie looks cheeky in the photo, must be to do with the name!Thought you'd been a bit quiet, glad you're back. I've got to empty my kitchen next week as the builders will be back to refit it, so we'll be living on "ping" meals I expect:) Looking forward to seeing your new jewellery.

I love that really vibrant pop of colour of the butterfly Viv! Had to smile at your latest project - I'm fine to THINK about overhauling rooms at new year but I take my hat of to the pair of you for actually doing something about it! Vicky x
