LIM Week 67, Not one, not two but THREE

Evening all...

How are we?

A very quick post from me tonight, my entry for this weeks Less Is More.

I have to admit I really struggled with this weeks challenge...use 3 stamps!  I really had no inspiration to start with and then I had an idea...

All this and I only used three stamps! Amazing!

Thank you for stopping by - please feel free to leave me your comments, they are always appreciated.

I'm Back...With a Less Is More Challenge entry!

Evening all...

Remember me! Yes I know it's been what seems like a lifetime since I last blogged, I've really missed you guys.  I have missed taking part in weekly challenges soooo much but I just haven't had the time in between work and wedding invites, there just hasn't been enough hours in the day.

But I wanted to share with you a card tonight which I'm entering into this weeks Less Is More Challenge. This week the challenge was to create something using a sketch.

I absolutely love this simplicity of this sketch - its so me!!

It just so happened to tie in with a Grandads Birthday - (I know I'm getting a bit keen on all these man cards!)

I chose Papertrey Ink's Garden Variety (I can't wait for my new Papertrey parcel to arrive this weekend :) I carefully inked the tools' handles in Classic Kraft and the metal parts in pale grey.  I seem to have a thing for rounded corners at the minute- they seem to finish a card of nicely - something different  from the norm!  I finished the card off with a Pinefeather button, good old button twine and a double banner- layered slightly off to show a flash of green - the sentiment was stamped from fillable frames number 4 using dark chocolate ink!

So what do you think? I would love to hear what you all think!

Thank you very much for taking time to read my ramblings!  I promise I won't leave it so long next time! :)

Three Shades of Green

Afternoon all...

Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend!

I've definitely enjoyed having some craft time, it's been a while.  I've even had time to enter some challenges.

So today i'm sharing with you a card I've made for the "Less Is More" Challenge.

Three Shades of Green.

I've been dying to use this Harvest Berries stamp set ever since it arrived and this was the perfect opportunity!  I stamped it in New Leaf (green number 1) and then stamped the sentiment from Pretty Peonies in Pinefeather (green number 2) I finished it off by mounting it on Simply Chartreuse (green number 3) before attaching it to my kraft card base!  

What do you think?

Im off to fit some more crafting in before work tomorrow!

New Baby

Evening all... 

 How are we? Hope you all had a nice weekend! Mine was very crafty- we managed to get all the wedding invitations done! It was so nice to do something I love with someone I love! I'll be sharing some piccies with you soon!

 After such a positive from my first challenge I decided to have a go at another one! So tonight I'm sharing what I made for the CAS-ual Fridays - CFC 42 - New Baby.

I used my new alphabet die from Papertrey and some of their papers.  I also tried some different stitching -in baby pink! All finished off with some good old bakers twine! Perfect for a new little munchkin!

I think I might be getting the hang of this challenge malarky! 

I'll be back tomorrow with something else, and maybe some invite pictures! 

Until then..take care.

A new challenge...

Morning Everyone!

Its lovely and sunny here today! Which is very good news because...the number one fan is coming to visit....YAY!

Although its not going to be all fun and games, we are designing and making her wedding invites this weekend.  Im very excited to get my creative hands on a meaty project like this! Hopefully I will be able to post you the results over the next few days.

Right so on to my card for today.  Well another one of my new years resolutions was to join in to some challenges, and today I will be entering my first.  I am going to be taking part in the "Less is More" Week 57 - colour theme challenge.

NEUTRALS

This could be anything from off white to black with any shade of beige, brown or grey in between.

Which ties in perfectly with a card I made for my uncle getting a new job!  I love the fact the staples give it a masculine feel but also are a great way of attaching the ribbon! I think i might be on the hunt for some coloured ones on my excursion to Hobby Craft today!

What do you think?
Wish me luck :)

I'll be back some time over the weekend! Until then...
