Twinkle twinkle card

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 ;)

With Love card

Hi there!, very Spring like weather here today,
( well sunny but still a tad chilly yet),
................I hope you all have sun too.
 
 
Here is another 'Less is More' card I made
yesterday. Trying a bit of stencilling for a 
change. 
 
 
 
 It has to be a 'one layer card' and the theme is...
 
 
 
LOVE 
 
 
My OH made some Gesso recently so I
pinched a bit and mixed some pearlescent
 pink paint with it. Here is the result ;)
 
 
 
I die cut the sentiment, used some M/E
Blush ink and stuck it back in the card.
The colour does match the Rose, not
 here though grrr.
 
 
 
Anyway come and have a closer look...........

Bee mine card

Hi friends, here I am with yet another card to
share with you again. It's 'Less is More's 4th
 birthday today....WOW where has all that time
gone! Many congratulations LIM !!!!!
 
 
 
I have been joining in with their challenges 
since the very start  and loving every single one.
Thank you so much to Chrissie and Mandi for
starting it all ;)
 
 
 
Sooo lovely to see Mandi back this time showing
 us a card too! I am pleased her business is doing
well also.
 
 
 

It's a colour challenge this time which is......
 
 
 
PINK and GREY
 
 
 
I used this cute bear image yet again, I do love
it. I printed a few out ages ago but I think it's
an old 'Digi stamp boutique' one. I know 
I sneaked in a couple more colours, hope
it's ok. If not I will be doing another!
 
 
 
 
  The little smiley bee was hand drawn  btw.
 I  wish you all a lovely weekend. I am
having a lazy one as next week all our
children and grandbabies are descending
 on us again ;)
