Monster cards and an Xmas one

Hi there friends, hope your weekend is going well so far? It's very windy here today too, remains of storm Brian I  fear!   Anyway I am here to show you my latest cards for this  week's 'Less is More' challenge. The theme this time is 'Monsters'. I haven't got any monster stamps alas but I do have some in a digi kit so used those.      I altered the colours, added some shadows and glitter  and job done. Well a bit of die-cutting and fussy cutting first and the sentiment is mine too.     I saw another cute monster (if monsters can be cute!)  and just had to make another card. I added shading, also altered colours again so the balloon matched the  monster.     I stamped a bit at the edges and added my usual glitter. My sentiment again...I turned the B at an angle for  interest too.   My last card is an Xmas one,( not for LIM this one)  I saw this lovely digi kit and just had to make a quick  card. No connection with seller btw. just liked it.   Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned ;)

Holly card

Good afternoon friends, I hope your weekend is going well so far! Very mild and warm here  today, not bad for October!      Over at 'Less is More' it's celebration time as it's  their 300th challenge. Wow can't believe that, I think I have taken part in just about every one  too.    So many congrats to all LIMettes today and to  Chrissie and Mandi for starting it in the first  place and to the fab DT also of course ;)

A big thank you for choosing my  'Watercolour Dragonfly' card to showcase this week too ;)
Right onto the challenge which this week is of course............

Celebrations & Festivals

I went with an Xmas card as that is the next big celebration arriving here very soon. I watercoloured the holly leaves and berries (very loosely) and added a touch of glitter.      After stamping my sentiment I decided to  leave it at that so it was quite CAS looking. I almost added a bit of green under the holly  leaves but white space is the key so I left well alone ;)

Enjoy your weekend whatever you have  planned. I plan to eat some straight out of the oven banana and walnut cake now.Can you smell the  aroma coming from my  kitchen? yum yum........well  of course you can all have a slice ;)

Snowy Scene card

Good morning playmates, a very early start for me again  today.....4 am. to be exact! arrrgghh....yes I have yet  another cold. Cough cough cough cough...so glad I  can't infect you lol ;)       Anyway it gives me  several hours   a chance to be able  to post another  card I made late Saturday. Heck I  even had time to make   loads of new footers a new  Xmas footer, hope you  like it.    

I did a bit of masking and Distress inking, then a bit of  chalking and some glitter for the snowy banks....hope  you can see the glitter!         Notice I resisted the temptation to add some flying  birds as I always seem to do that lol. After all  .........Less is More ;)       Here is my card anyway come and have a closer peek...

Find joy everyday card

Good afternoon all, phew another hot day again here. I have another 'LIM' card to share with you today. The theme this week is a song title and....      

Singin' in the rain!

"You can take any aspect from the title as the starting

 point for your creation.  Rain, weather, music,

 dancing... let your imagination take flight.

Just remember to keep it Clean and Simple,

 with plenty of white space!"

I went with the 'singin' bit this time and used a  DSB image and coloured using Promarkers.       Computerized sentiment, a bit of twine and a touch  of Glamour dust  and job done.       ps. A big welcome to my latest followers too, welcome  aboard and thanks for choosing me to follow :)     Also entering this into the 'Addicted to Stamp's challenge which is 'Clean and Simple' 'CAS'

White ribbon tree card

Hi again, a rainy and dismal day here today grrrr! I have yet another attempt at making a card for the 'Less is More' challenge this week .Where the theme is    Trees    Similar idea as my last card but I feel it is more 'clean'  looking and much more white space too........and relax.      

    ps. didn't have the best of nights last night, little sleep with my Arthritis etc. and our DIL had to go to A&E with stomach pains.      As she is 7 months pregnant it was a worry, baby ok  though. She is supposed to be hosting a Zumbathon  she has organized today in Camb too in aid  of her  children's  charity ....................oh my !      Adding a link to her charity now after being asked about  it by others. The people in that town call her an angel, if you read about her work there you can see why too :) Mashi foundation
