LIM Yellow, Blue & Grey card

Hi there friends, I am here to share another card for the 'Less is More' challenge again. It's a colour one this time and 'Yellow, Blue, Grey', nice colour combo I think too ;) 

I decided to use this hot air balloon set I bought recently, it has this sweet ellie included...aww I think it looks so cute ! I added a few punched hearts and decided that the sweet little ellie should be holding one of them ;)

Anyway come and have a peek at my card and enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.We are swimming again with the littlies. I made us all a huge sausage casserole (vege version of course) , baked a healthy courgette and apple loaf and made some roasted almond, date and coconut balls for a treat...yummy....happy days !

Purple and Yellow card

Good afternoon friends, I hope you are all  enjoying your weekend. As it's Saturday I  have another 'Less is More' card to show  you.     It's a colour challenge this week and...       "Use opposite colours on the wheel "
"The  two chosen colours should predominate  and any additional shades should be minimal  and limited to neutral colours only."        I decided on using purple and yellow. Not two colours I would normally use together but I think it works. Just to add I have added a clear gem to that bottom flower now !      Have a great weekend, we are having all our family here tomorrow so off to do preparations now ;)     ps. Congratulations to William and Kate on the birth of their new baby girl this morning too! can't wait for our latest granddaughter to arrive now....just 6 weeks  to go ;)

Autumn leaves card

Hi friends, it's looking and feeling a lot like Autumn now here. Brrr the heating had to go on last night and  for a while this morning too.     I am posting another 'Less is More' card once again. It's a colour theme and.....      

"For our Colour challenge this month we have chosen 

Autumn's Bounty

Sounds kinda poetic doesn't it...

so we'd love to see autumnal shades in your cards."

This is what I came up with, not my usual colours,

but I am quite liking these for a change.Pop on over

and look at all the other cards over at 'LIM' too. There

 are some real beauties, so lovely to see all the autumn

 colours and leaves too.

ps. So busy yesterday with family birthday celebrations,

our son's 40th this time! The third one this year in our

 family. As usual they all came to us so I am still
 recovering!

The parties have become more frenetic lately, serving/
moving food around two crazy running toddlers and a
 crawling baby arghhh!

Phew that's the last party until Xmas, so I hope for a

bit of relaxation and card making now ;)

I will show you the teeshirts I designed for hubby in

 another post as it will be very photo heavy as you 

can imagine. He was very pleased with them I am

 glad to say! Enjoy your week everyone ;)

Hi friends/bloggers, here we are at the weekend again

as yet another week flies past. I have another
‘Less is More’

card to show you and it’s a sketch this time.

I will post the sketch at the bottom, otherwise it and not

my card will show up on your daily feed. Has anyone else

noticed that?

Anyway here it is, after a minute of panic this idea

popped into my head. Aren’t you all glad when an idea

 pops in like that .........(smiles).

Yellow Best Wishes card

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you all. Here is
my ‘Less is More’ card for this week where
 the theme is.....

     MASKING or STENCILLING

I used a Memory Box texture Flourish stencil and some

TH distress ink ‘Squeezed lemonade’ to make a shaded

look to my card background.

 Then I stamped some grasses using a Cart Us stamp. I

used a Penny Black stamp for the sentiment then used

a Spellbinders die for the tag. A bit of lemon chiffon

ribbon and the card was finished.

Hope you had a lovely weekend :)

ps. Hasn't been a great week, we caught someone trying
  to break into our house. Details on  my last post if
you want to know more.
