Have a Purrrfect day card

Good morning friends, I hope you are all well. As it's Saturday yet again  I have another 'Less is More' card to share with you today.       It's a lucky dip this time and.......      '2 or 4 Legs'     This is what I came up with, hope you  all approve.



ps. It's been a very stressful week for me. So sorry I haven't been leaving you all comments. I will try very soon.       Now I seem to have developed a  horrid sore  throat too.... boo hoo. Not felt like making  any cards ( just shown ones I had already  made  luckily).      I just HAD to make my 'LIM' one  though.  Off for a lie down in a dark room now lol. Enjoy your weekend whatever you have  planned ;)

Good morning friends, I hope all is well with  you. It's Saturday yet again so I have another 'Less is More' card to share with you. It's a recipe this week and.....     'Use some Metal'     This card is what evolved when I looked at all my charms etc. I saw kraft card, cream, lace and this fabulous jewel creation I have had for a  while now and I was inspired !     The jewel is set in metal btw. so qualifies  nicely I think. Funny how my card turned into a wedding type card, when I have babies on  my mind just now. ( More about that later).       I have almost finished another card too, also with a wedding theme and similar colours  lol. No weddings planned so I have no idea  why I am making this type lol. Back soon with  another LIM card ;)

ps. We heard the other day that our latest expected granddaughter should be born on the 12th June ! Woo hoo, can't wait now!!! Our daughter was born on the 11th June, so she is esp. excited  ;)


We are having our children/grandchildren over on  Sunday so I am just off to prepare a lasagne and  some small red velvet chocolate cakes in  minute.      Just having a delicious hazelnut coffee and a choc  biscuit first  though ;) Enjoy your weekend  whatever you have planned.       Now  grab a coffee and come and have a closer look............        

The satin ribbon and card with the sentiment on are both cream btw.

   

Better photo I think!

Just for You Art Deco card

Good afternoon friends, I hope you are all well. Today I have another Art Deco card to share  with you again. My last for a while I think, you may be glad to hear lol.      Although I have an Art Deco type man and  a larger square card lurking somewhere on my desk unfinished so........       I used some lavender fields as a background for the lady as she looked french to me and I thought of french lavender.


We have fields of lavender here in Norfolk  too so she could be here I guess ;)


We had a great day out yesterday, ( see previous  post) I am pleased to report. Enjoy your day  everyone  whatever you are doing today !

Hi friends, back to Art Deco again lol ! For the first card I was trying out a different  sort of easel card.      I saw a similar one in blogland recently   but I just used my own  measurements  for this one.       The second one was made for my lovely DIL. ..........have a nice day everyone, we have rain  here boo hoo!       ps.It's my OH's birthday tomorrow, so we  are off for a day of spa/swimming  and lunch curtesy of our children. Then a Thai take away meal with them all in the  evening ;)

Enjoy the little things card

Hi friends, lovely to see you all again ;) Today I have another card to share with you. I used some of my new dies this time,  combined with some digi bits.     I made a gatefold card for a change . My next one will be another gatefold card and an Art Deco one ! See you soon ;) ( Oops I mean after my usual LIM card)       Enjoy your day, we have sun here but it's still very windy......good for drying my washing  though!

Always and Forever card

Hi there, I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday ! I have had a very busy day , but more on that later. I am posting another card I made recently.      Not a very CAS one again at all is it, but I did enjoy  making it. I made the background using a few digi items then added the couple etc. The inside matches it nicely I think. I must make more matching inserts! I tend to leave them plain and add just a sentiment.      The wording is by Wendy (TheClipArtFairy) I  believe? I found it on my computer anyway and  used an Art Deco type font to match the card. ps. Busy today, my lovely daughter surprised me  with a new smart phone ! I had been complaining  about my old one and I think she felt sorry for me !     She bought it yesterday and spend most of today setting it up and showing me how to use it. What a star!, she said it was an early birthday pressie for me (it's not until August).     So now I have a new mobile and a new expensive camera lens,  both early birthday pressies lol. Right sorry, enough waffling  ( yet again) here is my  card, come and have a closer look ;)

Without the Rain card

Good morning friends, popping by with another quick 'Less is More' card today. It has to be 'one layer'  and the theme is 'Water' this time.       Luckily I had just bought these yummy stamps. I added a touch of shimmer with my Wink of  Stella but hard to see here.       Our garden smells divine atm., bluebells and lots of  colour everywhere it really is a Spring garden. Just imagine the perfume please ;)         I have added a few pics if you want a peek. Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.   ps. I have been making quite a few Art Deco cards lately. Not my usual CAS style at all but enjoying it for a change.        Have a quick stroll back through my pages if you are feeling nosey ;) More like that to come too I'm afraid as I seem to  have the bug now lol.

Lilac Art Deco card

Hi friends, just popping by to show you another Art Deco card again. This time  it's in shades of lilac/purple.      A bit of a fussier card this time. I added  a few digi bits to make my own background  to the lady on this one. Hope you approve !        I have another Art Deco one coming soon, too.....he he, I just cannot stop making  them atm. Nice to have a change from my simpler cards I thought ;)       Have a great day everyone......I am fasting again today and have been juicing lots of  fruit and veg......yummy!       I amazed myself by running for about 10  mins. yesterday too lol.  Not out of breath  either so I must be fitter  than I think I am !        Our usual forest walk was interrupted by  heavy rain so we had no  choice but  to run back to the car or get a good  soaking!     Anyway back to the card, come and have  a peek ;)

Blue Art Deco card

Good afternoon friends, I hope you are all having a great day.  Today I have another Art Deco  card to share with you again.        I also have another two cards Art Deco cards to share  very soon also. I just cannot stop making this  type  of card now for some reason......what can I say lol !       Anyway come and have a closer look. I find A5 cards more difficult to photograph, and esp. this type of  fold too, so I have taken a few pics.       I used an engineering fold again.......at least that's what Mr Google tells me!        ps. A big welcome to my latest follower too, thanks for choosing me to follow and welcome aboard ;)

Feminine versus Masculine cards

Hi friends, just popping in to show you two cards. I saw that 'Make the Day Special' wanted  us to join in with them and show different  contrasts   in cards using different techniques they had shown over a week.      One of  the choices was to use the same set  of stamps and make a feminine card and also  a masculine card. I thought that sounded a  great idea as I had only just bought one  of the sets they showed us.       I made the cards and was going to link them  there . Alas today when I looked the linky thing has closed !! Doh, why didn't I check the dates. Anyway I thought I would just show you all  instead ;) Handy to  be  able to make both types  of card from the same set of stamps.What do  you think, does it work ??....I will let you decide !         Feminine version  

     

      Masculine version
