Enjoy Your Birthday

Good morning friends, it's a lovely hot and  sunny day here. I hope you have good weather  too.     Today I am sharing my 'Less is More' card. It's a sketch this time and this is what I came  up with. Sketch below my card btw.     I don't know how I managed to make a card  as my craft room is a complete disaster area  atm. lol. I had a tiny space and I just about found room  to make this card.       I spent ages looking for a die set I had bought. I found the empty packet but no die arghhh! Does that sound familiar?... I found it under a pile of card bits and pieces in the end.     Have a lovely weekend whatever you have planned. We  were babysitting our older  granddaughter  yesterday, she is so good... although teething  again poor baby.       Tomorrow we are going to see our new  granddaughter again, can't wait for more  cuddles.     I must have a tidy up right NOW!!! First though come and have a closer look  at my card ;) In a blue mood for a change here.I could have entered this last week with  the stencilling too....doh!

Good afternoon friends, I hope all is well with you today. As it's Saturday again I have another 'Less is More' card to share  with you.       The theme this week is......     Stencilling      Been so busy lately but just HAD to make my usual LIM card of course. This is what  I came up with. Hope you all approve ;)       ps. We now have a name for our new  granddaughter at last ! It's only taken a  week lol. I am pleased to announce that her name is..............Amelia...we all  love it too.        I have made a quick scrapbook page with a photo of her, see below card. Right I am off to finish my cooking now. A savoury pie and a roasted veg and  mince lasagne as requested by my lovely  DIL. I will make a few blueberry muffins  too!     In between finishing off the congrats baby card (now we have a name). Printing out  some thank you cards for them.      Doing an A4  name, date , weight etc. page  and framing it. Making announcement cards. Ooh and also I was asked to wrap this  sea -washed beach stone too ( pic below).  Phew it's been such a busy week lol.    
Enjoy your weekend/week everyone whatever you have planned  ;)

New Home card and some baby news!

Good afternoon friends, a rather wet and  cooler day here today 14c. We had a hot  sunny one yesterday though  26c too,  so lovely.     Before I share my usual Sat 'LIM' card I  have some exciting news !    
Our latest grandchild arrived as planned yesterday at 11.50 am. Much worrying and  pacing about by me as usual. For once I am pleased to say everything went perfectly.  Both mummy and baby are doing well.


She has no name as yet but weighed in at 7lbs. 10oz, so a good weight. We are  hoping to see her today if all goes well. Pics and name to follow ;)  

Sorry I am late commenting again but as you can see we have been quite busy ;)


Right onto my usual 'Less is More' card now. It's a 'one layer' card this week and the theme is 'Home'.       I started a two layer card as usual then  realized my mistake luckily. Anyway come and have a closer look ....


Enjoy your weekend whatever you have  planned ;)

Unforgettable card

Good afternoon friends. Just popping by to  show you another quick card today.  
 Just back from the dentist today,  not that keen on going like many others. Few problems but not as bad  as I thought thank heavens !!     We still have  a nest of Bumble bees nesting  behind our facia beside our bedroom.  Bombus Hypnorum to be exact,a protected  species. I do want to help bees as they are  in decline I know.      Our garden is perfect for wildlife  ( the insect kind lol), so no wonder they picked  us!  But the constant buzz buzz, ( more like morse code really) is annoying.      They keep us awake at night and in the  morning too. Getting more used to it I guess now though. They get very noisy at 2.30 am.  for some reason. Hope they buzz off soon!!!       Anyway enough rambling yet again....sorry!!! Come and have a closer look at my card ;)

Flamingo card

Good morning friends, it's a lovely warm and sunny day here today. I hope you all have it too.     Late with my Saturday 'Less is More' card as our son asked us to join them for a nice pub lunch and walk yesterday.Their  baby is  due any minute of course.      My DIL looks  amazing too. I suggested  names which they liked, no decision yet  though ;) Next Friday is the day she will arrive , unless it happens naturally before  then. She is breech atm. too still.       Such a  lovely day, anyway I have made my  card at  last! It's a colour challenge this  week and....     SUNSET     Of course sunset said pink to me lol. Well it would of course and everyone who knows  me won't be at all suprised !       I went for an Ombre look, pale shades of the  setting sun....well that's what it said to me anyway.        I wanted a watercolour look to my flamingo and tried my new Zig Clean color real brush pens. (HAD to get those when I saw them whilst blog hopping).....yes I know not easy on  the purse this blog hopping is it!!!       After much effort ( several coloured images) and  trying various mediums I  relented and had to use  my trusty Copic pens. The printed image didn't  like watercolour of  course.        Loving the new pens though so you will be seeing  more of them very soon. Sooo hard to open though,  my poor nails haven't  recovered yet...and I have  only opened 3 so far!!     Enough waffling from me again,come and have a  closer look ;) here is my card....
