Less is More - Gold

Another Saturday has arrived with mixed weather, just as I decide to put the washing out it starts raining again.  Never mind gives me the chance to sit crafting and watching the ladies Wimbledon final.  Match going on longer than I expected.  After that first set thought Serna was going to wipe the floor with this little girl hehe.

Any way this weeks Less is More challenge is GOLD.  Wanted to try out my new Clarity stamps which are for next months lesson.  Although I love these stamps, they are all indivdual, I can't seem to put on to paper what I am imaging.  They are going to need a lot more playing with me thinks. :)

Quick update on my Mom, she is doing really well, my sister brought her round for a visit yesterday and she is walking brilliantly. Soon have her hopping and skipping again.

Do pop back tomorrow as it will be my first post as a DT member for Kenny K, so nervous although trying to work out the blogging side was more of a challenge than I thought it would be hehe.  It is also their 2nd birthday so there are some massive prizes up for grabs.

Have a great weekend all and thanks for popping by 

Less is More - Lucky Dip

Evening lovely bloggers, bit late with the Less is More challenge this week, had a bit of a hectic time recently with my mother going in to hospital for a hip replacement, my sister moving house and new buildings opening at work so I had to work today.

Anyway this week Mandi & Chrissie want us to use their blog header for inspiration.

Didn't really have any suitable stamps to use for this one so stuck to using paper and a computer generated sentiment. This card will be heading to my moms neighbour who has been fantastic helping me and my brother and sister look after mom since she has come out of hospital.

Hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend and thank you for stopping by :)

Less is More - Paper Piecing

Saturday is here again and time for another challenge at Less is More.  This weeks it's paper piecing, not really done much of this and what I have done was quiet some time ago now.

The image is from a Dottie collection from Charmed Cards & Crafts, not used these images for ages and I have paper pieced this one before but it was placed on lots of layers with lots of embelishments, so wondered what it would look like as a CAS card and I am quiet pleased with it.

Well thats about it for today, had a busy morning spring cleaning the bedrooms, bit late I know but they were getting desperate, don't know how my kids manage to accumulate so much junk.

Have a great weekend and thank you for popping by :)

I made the Kenny K design team!!!

Well finally I can let folks know that I made it on to Kenny K's design team, can't believe it to be honest as there is some amazing talent out there.  I officially start from 1st July and really looking forward to this new challenge.  The Kenny K blog is having a name change and a new address so make sure you start following the new blog :)

Anyway after that exciting news I thought I would have a go at this weeks Kenny K challenge, which is to use at least 10 gems and glitter.  Used the fab All That and coloured her with promarkers and copics.  Added some glitter and of course some gems.  Paper is from DCWV and other bits and pieces from my stash.

Thank you for stopping by and dont forget to join the new Kenny K blog.

Less is More - Shiny

Well it's Saturday again and it has done nothing but rain again, had to put the heating on again, when are we going to get some sunshine!!!!

The less is More challenge this week is something shiny.  I was initially going with something silver, but changed my mind as always :)

 Used a spellbinder to cut an oval into the card and used the cut out piece to stamp a kanban sentiment and emboss in gold and stuck it to the inside of the card.  Cut out some gold leaves and added a kanban flower & butterfly.

Hope everyone was having a fab weekend and thank you for stopping by :)

P.s sorry Loli here it is, had my pc wiped and re-installed so was waiting for photo editing software to be put back on.  All back to normal now though hehe :)

Less is More - One Layer

Well it's Saturday again and time for another Less is More challenge which this week is one layer.  Now these don't scare quiet as much as they used to but I still struggled as what to do.  I did originaly start doing some stamping and embossing but it wasn't doing much for me.

Ended up just using an embossing folder and added a bit of stamping, think it would look better with a ribbon and a bow but as it's one layer dont think they would be allowed hehe.

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend and haven't got to wet or blown away, have had to put the heating on again today, can't believe it is June!

Thanks for popping by :)

Kenny K - Pearls

What happend to our gorgeous weather?  As soon as we get a bank holiday it rains!  Oh well gave me time to do some more crafting.

This weeks Kenny K challenge is PEARLS.  Coloured Vikki Lee Vicious a while ago with Promarkers & Copics but hadn't made her into a card.  So thought I would get her finished.

The paper is from DCWV and I have used flowers from WOC, a MS punch and not sure what the leaf die is.  There is also a little guitar charm and of course some pearls.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and thank you for stopping by :)
