Love Ya card

Hi playmates, I am late doing my 'Less is More' card this time. Busy with a family party yesterday so no time to play until today !     As usual last week's card would have been  perfect....well if it had been one layer it would  have been lol.     This week we have to make a 'one layer' card  with the theme of......     LOVE     Anyway here is my card, come and have a  closer peek...         ps. I will show you my  heart shaped chocolate cake I made for our Valentine's day themed party yesterday.        It was our 44th Wedding Anniversary the day before so double celebrations.        I made a red velvet  chocolate  cake with two layers  of chocolate and raspberry cream  inside  and  covered it with chocolate icing too.       Yum yum, only a small piece left now of course lol.  We had  an  amazing day too, all 11 of us ;) I made  some chocolate 'bark' with a rose each for the  girlies too.

Gold heart card

Hi Ladies and Jellyspoons, ( my OH's name for  gentlemen....no idea either!).....see here and now  we all understand where it came from....and relax.       I have another  'LIM' challenge card to share  with you all again. I was in a card making frenzy  yesterday so there will be lots more next week  I think.       See sketch below my card for this weeks theme  over at 'LIM' towers. I managed to use some gold on my card. I have been dying to use gold lately  for some reason. Also a bit of texture on the card this time too ;)       Have a lovely Sunday playmates, whatever you  have planned. Now come and have a closer  look at my card.....

Pink bow card

Good afternoon everyone, I hope all is well in your world. I have a second 'Less is More' card to show you today.         The theme this week over at 'LIM' is a recipe and 'Use a recycled item'. My recycled item is a fabulous pink ribbon !           My daughter gave me this marvellous glass container full  of Rose bath oil by Dior. It smelt divine too, all gone now  alas!           I couldn't bring myself to throw the pretty glass container out and it still sits in my spare bathroom, I may fill it with more bath foam.           Anyway I digress, around it was the most gorgeous pink chiffon ribbon. I have been wondering what to do with it for  ages now.            In truth I didn't want to cut it, but I summoned up the courage and used it on this card. Ahem.........I will probably keep it now too lol.           I used one of the freebie sentiments the lovely Chrissie made  recently. Thank you Chrissie they print beautifully too.          I used some old eye shadow around the heart shape ( more recycling) and a bit of old tinsel I found to suspend it from  the bow itself.         A tiny heart gem finished it off and also went with the tiny hearts  embossed on the heart shape too. I will show you the lovely glass container below also :)         Apologies for the long post AGAIN !, just scroll  straight to  the card if you like, I will understand !         Also a very big welcome to yet another follower Marcy. Thank you so much for choosing me to follow :)          

Hope you like the large blousy bow :)  

ps. Our son has just finished his usual yearly cycle around our part of the coast.....250 miles over 3 days ! He says it was very hard this time, I wonder if it will be his last one?         Also I have been in the wars today :( Another 'fast' day and doing well so far, not eaten much. I have started using my Wii excercise machine again, had a quick forest walk and  also started day 1 of the 30 day 'plank' challenge (google it).       So far so good..............        All was going well when my OH asked me to help him in the  garden with a ratchet thingummy. He is taking small tree stumps  out. Anyway before I could help  a large VERY heavy metal  mesh type frame which was leaning against a tree fell on my leg.       Arghhhh, not good, my leg is very badly scraped/cut in several  sections! I look a real site and it HURTS !!! OH was really upset  he had asked me to help at all now of course.       On the plus side my lovely navy jeans weren't damaged at all !       Lets just say I will be wearing either jeans or a long dress for a  while now lol.

Less is More flourish card

It's week 74 over at 'Less is More' & this weekit's a lucky dip and......

For our challenge we have decided to take our 

"Less is More"  

header as the inspiration for this challenge.

I thought and thought what to do this week, not an easy 

one I fear this time. Anyway inspiration dawned today at last and I

 decided to use the wording part. I added a flourish,a little music,

clear gems & a hanging heart with M&C added for Chrissie

 & Mandi.I used some pink TH distress ink ( I know Mandi will

 approve :) and some glamour dust for sparkle too ( on the

 large L & M). I have learnt so much from them doing these

 challenges, thankyou so much.Also to all the lovely LIMettes

 who have inspired me also and been such great friends too,

 I love you all :)
ps. Ahem....and yes back to pink again lol !
