Note of Thanks card

Hi there friends, been so busy doing 'stuff ' I haven't found the time to show you my latest card for the 'Less is More' challenge. The days and weeks just fly past don't they! Anyway here it is at last.

It's LIM's 7th birthday too.... 7 !!!....wow how did that happen?? I can't believe it's been 7 years, I have taken part in just about every one too. Many congratulations to everyone over at LIM. Thank you and I wish you many more years of amazing challenges also.

Ok come and have a peek at my card. The theme is 'Music' this time. I was tempted to go with Happy Birthday seeing as it's a birthday celebration this time lol, but in the end I went with this instead.

Thanks for the visit and of course enjoy what's left of the week, whatever you have planned ;)

White Linen card

Die-namics thanks die

TH distress ink
White fun foam

Neat & Tangled sequins

Computerized wording

I printed a sheet of music. Then I die cut the word thanks and did a colour wash over it all. I used some foam to raise it up a tad on my card. A quick computerized sentiment adding a 'note' graphic, a sprinkling of sequins and job done ;)

 

 

Musical card

Hi everyone, sorry if I didn't get around to leaving everyone a  comment last week, been soooo busy lately.My Rh. Arthritis  is playing up again too so not feeling that great atm. Hands esp.  not good, so if I don't leave you a comment that's why...sorry!!  Here is another 'Less is More' card , it's the dreaded one  layer card again and this week the theme is ................ Music I really struggled this time, a few of my efforts landed up in  the 'round' file lol. I ended up using my trusty GCF programme to print a coloured strip,I faded it then added some wording and a bit of music score. I finished it by doing a spot of stamping. A few tiny butterflies from a set with words ( I didn't  stamp the wording part). Also a couple of dandelion seed heads to finish it off. It's so sad that Mandi has decided to leave LIM, but I wish her good luck in her new venture. Jen is a very  talented replacement though and inspires us all every week. ps. A very big welcome to all my latest followers, welcome aboard.

Music themed cards

Good afternoon everyone, the rain has stopped at last and we now have some lovely sun. Doesn't it improve your mood when  the sun comes out to say hello. Here are another two cards made  for the 'Less is More'  challenge again. I just cannot stop making 'LIM' cards some weeks ! This week it's a colour theme and Silver  On the first one I added another paper bow again,  this time I used  some music I printed on some paper. I added a quick silver ribbon  and also a sentiment in silver. I drew a little note and added gems  ( liked that idea). The usual glamour dust completed the card. On the second card I stamped a butterfly then silver embossed it, then I cut it out and adhered it to the card. A few smaller punched  butterflies were added with a bit of silver pen doodles. A dotty silver trail, computerized sentiment and a punched silver note  completes the card. ps. A big welcome to yet another follower ! I am sooo lucky with my loyal band of followers. It always makes me smile when I read your lovely  comments, it really does make my day so thankyou soooooo very much ! Just waiting to hear exciting baby news , my DIL's sister is having a baby any minute now !!! We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet either. More news  soon......I have a very big project to start soon, something new to me too !

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 !

My last card for 'Less is More'
this week. Week 51 and the theme is
                 CUT IT OUT
Linen card again, I used a nestie
( labels 20) for the cut out using
ivory pearlized card.I cut out the
numbers using the same ivory card .
To complete it I added a few punched
flowers , leaves & pearls.

Very grey here again today, feeling very
achy again too after all the rain yesterday.
I so hate the rain,  I call it kryptonite as it
affects me so badly Arthritis wise lol.
Also my other brother is  now in
hospital after collapsing a few times....
never rains.............but it pours !!!
Wishing you all a good day today anyway :O)

Love card

Here is my second card for the 'Less is More'
site again.Week 51 & the theme is
                      CUT IT OUT
Wasn't that pleased with my first card , but
thank you so much for all the lovely comments
anyway........you are the best & make my day !
Very simple card really. I cut out a circle with
my nesties then added a few punched letters in
ivory pearlized card.I used a promarker on the
inside of the circle for a touch of colour & also
used it on the flowers & leaves too. I used a
scrap of some 'music' paper I had left over for
the flowers & butterfly .Some tiny pearls completed
the card.More pleased with this card I think anyway.
Btw. is everyone else finding it hard to come
up with new ideas every week now too ??
.I never seem to like the first card I make
these days. I should really wait until I have made
a couple then choose just one.Also simple and
clean is often best I think, it's what we leave off
and not what we put on which matters. Oh listen to
me as if I am some sort of expert he he!! Less is More
says it all really doesn't it!
We are off to see Charlie again tomorrow and I just
can't wait.I think he will get cuddled for hours lol....
the poor baby !!!
