Faux Bleach card

Good morning everyone, just a quick post to show you another card I made yesterday. I used the 'Faux Bleach' technique again, quite liking doing these now.     Anyway come and have a quick look and see what you think. I used a Bayleaf stencil  this time. Not sure if there is enough white  space for the 'LIM' challenge. Feel free to  delete it if not ;)

Raindrops card

Hi friends, I hope your Sunday is going well? I have had a very lazy one , nice to just rest  sometimes.       I did manage another card though, I should  be tidying my craft room.NO idea how I even  managed  a card with no space  here either. Sooo  glad you can't see all the mess lol.       I have had these pretty raindrop stamps for a  while now. I just HAD to buy them as I loved  them so much. But have I used them before?? errr.....nope.         I will try and add a photo of our frogs  AGAIN. Blogger was playing up last time  I tried.Oh and a few flowers in our garden  just now too.Managed it now, see below!       Enjoy your Sunday...well what's left of  it that is !       Right here is my card, come and have  a closer look.

Watercolour butterfly card

Good afternoon everyone, warm and sunny here today. I hope you all have the same :)     As it's Saturday once again I have another 'Less is More' card to show you once more.     I was so happy when I saw this week's theme was to use     'WATERCOLOUR'     I seem to have done nothing else on my cards just lately.  As you may just have noticed lol. ( Check out my earlier card it would have been ideal I think....darn it!)           Anyway I did a few splats of watercolour and added my new butterfly die after using more watercolour on that also.         Hope you like it,and stayed tuned........ as there will be  more of course :)     ps. Our son has put his gorgeous detached 4 bed house on the market. It's only been a few days and he has been offered the full asking price already!        I am not surprised though, sneaky peek below. It has 4 toilets !, main bathroom, 2 en suites and a downstairs loo. Wish we could buy it but we want a bungalow again.       They have to move to be nearer schools for our grandson...such a shame as they love it.Corner plot, quiet area, great field views at  the back......sighs!

Just keep swimming.....

Hi everyone, here is my latest ‘Less is More’ card.

The theme this week is.....

"Makes me smile!

It's simply that... something that makes you smile.

 It could be something cute, pretty, humorous, or merely a technique

 which satisfies you and makes you pleased with your finished article.

SO... lots of scope, but we'd like you to tell us  the reason for your choice!"      

Wow what a fabulous challenge, I hope you

will all join in this week too (smiles).

I used this cute freebie digi image from TAWS,

Sorry just cannot think what TAWS stands for my

brain isn’t in gear today I fear. Blogger is playing up

too and I have had to rewrite this three times already

grrrrrrrrr!!!!

 Now adding the freebie stamp is from

‘The Alley Way Stamps’ TAWS.

Anyway these cute fishes just make me smile every time

I look at them. Hope they give you a smile today too :)

The sentiment says ‘Just keep swimming’..... I think it’s

very apt for a lot of us isn’t it.

A very Happy Easter to you all !

I have just started eating my yummy Easter egg

so diet out of the window for this week I fear lol.

A big welcome to my three latest followers also, welcome aboard.

Ps. Sorry I am late this week with my LIM card

but we had our son and his gorgeous babies over

yesterday and I spent most of it cuddling my

beautiful granddaughter Lana...happy days !

I made some homemade bread and soup and they

all said it was the best they had ever tasted. Roasted

red onion and balsamic vinegar bread, I threw lots of seeds

and parmesan cheese in. 

The soup was ‘Lentil and coconut’ I used some coconut oil

(expensive but worth it), lemongrass, fresh lemon and lots

of yummy spices. Recipe HERE
