Burst Of Dots!

Morning.. Where has this week gone.. sorry i didn't visit many people this week I spent it trying to catch up on life after a crazy 3 weeks.  Didn't help that blogger has been playing up all week... It even lost a couple of scheduled posts completely!!

This week at Less Is More we want to see you use something "Recycled" it can be anything as long as it's been used before.... I dipped into my boxes of rescued items to reuse!! Here is my card...

I even managed to use some unused stash!! This memory box die was purchased after seeing Melly Moo use it a while ago and has since been sat there!  It's finished off with the fabulous happy birthday from Simon Says Stamp.. I love these dies!!

That's all from me today... Have a great weekend!!

Floral Birthday...

Morning... Sorry I've not been around this week ... I've made a couple of cards but I am unable to show them until they have arrived and just not had chance to make anything else until I finished off this little card.  This is my first attempt at using the inktense pencils I received for my birthday ! I did keep it simple with flowers ...

I used one of my favourite sets from SU to test out these fabulous watercolour pencils.. one thing I can say is that I need a colour chart... Def test out the colours before you add them to your image as I ended up with a very yellow James the bear on one attempt :-)

I'm off to Cheshire Oaks today with my mum whilst she needs a dress to wear for my cousins wedding, although I'm hoping to get some creative stuff done tonight!

Have a great day..

Butterfly Dreams

Morning LIMettes.. well what an exciting week I have had.. New Job and not only 1 but 4 offers to choose from!! That has been a really difficult decision to say the least and it really was a close call on a couple!. Hopefully now I can relax and get back to normal for a couple of weeks before a quick diving trip to Egypt and a weekend in Holland!

Anyhow, enough waffling, here is this weeks Less Is More challenge!! This weeks we want to see you...  Water Colour!

I decided to add a water colour wash over heat embossed butterflies... Sorry the photo is so bad, late last night when I took it!!

If You Could Not Fail!

Morning... I've a really quick card for you today using this super cute guy from LOTV.. You all know how much I love James!! I stamped the image with every intention into making it a card for a dad but then after last nights footie I thought this sentiment was perfect with the image! I even used my promarkers for the first time I think in 2014.. hopefully I'll fall back in love with alcohol markers now I have found this card from crafters companion!

You're a Genius!

Morning... sorry I've not really been around much... the last few weeks have been very crazy and hopefully life is about to change as I leave a company I have worked at for more than 10 years.. It's exciting and very scary but the last two weeks have been full of interviews and meetings .... and next week more interviews so I hope you can bear with me for a couple more weeks!

This weeks Less Is More challenge is One Layer Week and we want to see you stamp off the edge.  I have used the fabulous Scientifically Speaking set from Clearly Besotted!

I white embossed one of the atom stamps in white and then added candy dots from Stampin Up! very simple!!

I'm looking forward to chilling out a bit today!  Have a great weekend!

Bundle Of Love

A couple of months ago I had a few cards published in Card Making & Paper craft magazine as I did a feature called 1 sketch 3 ways!!  I have just realised I never actually showed you any of the cards I did... Here is one of the them!!

This little cutie uses one of my favourite stamps from the baby release last year...

I've another busy day ahead.. I really can't catch my feet at the moment.. Hopefully I'll get some crafting done tomorrow or Friday !!

I'm off to Rachel's tonight... Apparently I will learn to crochet so I might have my attempts to show you tomorrow!!
