Sent With Love x

Morning... Sorry I've not been around for a few days but work has been busy and I've been "De-Cluttering" stuff... With everything that has happened this year I have done a lot of this already, new wardrobe, renovations of the house and a few other bits but the studio and craft stash as well as draws just full of stuff have been abandoned and I wanted to make a start on selling and donating or throwing my un-used or un-loved items... It has been refreshing to let go!

That's enough waffling for now...  I do have a card for you using an image I coloured in a while ago and was part of the decluttering! Remember Chester... I loved Pollycraft and was a shame it has to close it doors although many images are available from Little Miss Muffet Stamps...

Right, better get back to work.. Although I am glad it's Friday!

Have a great day..

In A Row... OLC at Less Is More #97

Morning LIMettes... so can you believe it's another challenge over at Less Is More and this week it's everyone's favourite... One Layer Card week.  The theme for the challenge is:

In A Row

So when I saw this theme I had to check the meaning....
row ¹ n.

1. A series of objects placed next to each other, usually in a straight line.

2. A succession without a break or gap in time: won the title for three years in a row.

3. A line of adjacent seats, as in a theatre, auditorium, or classroom.

4. A continuous line of buildings along a street.

The first thing that came to mind was the phrase " Getting your ducks in a row" so this is how I interpreted it in my first card....

Card Recipe:

Prisma Pencils
Seam binding from the ribbon girl

Inspiration:
CAS-ual Fridays: #81 Add a Knot

My Second card I decided to just put some items in a row... and couldn't wait to use my new paper smooches set from My Mums Craft shop. This card was inspired by my blogging friend Faye with this card and the reason I bought the stamps...

Liquid Pearls

Doodle pen

Ok... That's all from me for now... can't wait to see how you interpret the challenge...
