You're a Star

Good evening friends, hope all is well with you. Just back today from a few days  away to the beautiful Lake District. I will show a photo too....see bottom of page.    More about that later though!

This week over at  'Less is More'  the theme is...............     'MASCULINE' 

This is what I came up with, I even used some of my favourite card stock for the  star........I mainly just admire and  stroke it !

Anyway come and have a closer look  and enjoy your week whatever you  have planned ;)



ps. Ok to just skip this bit if you just  want to see my card!     Alas our main reason for our trip up North was for a funeral of a very close  friend.

He was such an amazing artist and teacher, just no end to his talent...as we found out. Looking at all his many paintings/sculptures/ pen and ink drawings.....WOW so much  variety in his work too.

He made some beautiful sculptures which are to be found in many public places  near where he lived. If you are ever in Lancaster, see his 10 stages of Christ  sculptures in the church at the University  there.

We were so lucky to be given some of his  artwork by his lovely wife to remember him  by also.     I must say he has inspired me so much  yet again looking at all his work. I am even tempted to get out my watercolours and try painting....oh my !

Hi friends, it's Saturday again so time to  show you another 'Less is More' card.  This week the theme is......      

"This makes me happy!

 It could be a colour, a technique, a design, a

 subject that pleases you... whatever! 

However, we would like you to TELL US

 what the thing is that pleases you!"

 What a lovely challenge ! Well I think most

 of you know already about my love of PINK

lol.

My main loves are of course my family,esp.

my gorgeous grandchildren. My other loves

are crafting, making cards, jewellery, 

photography, walking, music etc. etc.

But pink and babies do feature quite often

with me. As my lovely DIL's will tell you

lol.

 I always pinch the babies for a kiss & cuddle

as soon as they arrive at our house. Often

before they have even got out of the car.

My DIL's find this sooo amusing!!!!

So my card features pink and is a  baby 

card. The sentiment is exactly how I

 feel about all my 'little stars' .....

or grandbabies ;)

See side pics to see just how adoreable 

they are! ....ahem well yes I am a

tad biased !

Anyway here is my card, come and have

 a closer peek.

Btw. I am experimenting using the

'manual' option now with my new fancy 

camera. So  pics may vary...but I hope to

 improve as I go.

ps. A big welcome to my latest follower too.

Thank you for choosing me and welcome

 aboard.

Have a lovely week everyone whatever

you have planned. We will be celebrating

Alexander's 3rd birthday on Monday ;)
