Before i show you my card i just want to say a huge thank you for all the lovely comments i received last week.. so kind of you all..I will try to get round some blogs to see all your lovely creations..sometimes times against me.. there dosn't seem to be anough hours in the day just lately..

A special thank you to chrissie & mandi for all the challenges thay do for us.. they do a brilliant job :)

 I cut my A4  card stock down to make a square card.. i printed the sentiment onto my card.. I embossed a piece of left over card ready for my embellishment topper which happened to be lying around in my stash..must admit i love the clean fresh look of these sort of cards..ther right up my street..lol..

well thats all from me this week.. i would just like to wish everyone a very happy easter..

*Less is More*

I carn't beleive how long its been since i last blogged, i guess thats because i have had a break from making cards,but i'm glad to be back in the saddle..lol.. and i must admit that i have really mist takin part in the less is more challenge.. and this week its using ribbon or buttons..

Less is More - *Acetate*





Hiya all..hope you enjoyed the sunshine today it was glorious..and for the rest of the week..well when i saw what the challenge was for the Less is More Challenge i neally died of shock..lol..yes the dreaded acetate..lol..i don't really us acetate as i'm not always sure what to do with it..

anyways heres my try..first i punched some butterflys out of the Tonic butterfly punch..i must admit i was a bit nervous at first but ay ho the acetate punched quite well..I then coloured in using a promarker and whilst still wet i sprinkled some star dust to them..then embellished with some pearls..
the sentiment i got from create with TLC which i printed straight on to the card..i don't know whether it looks like i needed to add something else to the card..seems a bit plain to me..lol..but there again it is LIM..please let me know what you think..

P.S I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all last week for all the lovely comments i received was so chuffed..enjoy the rest of your week :)



*Less is More" Focus Sentiment

Hiya all..what a lovely day it is..and yes its saturday so that means its another challenge over at Less is more..and this week is one layer focusing on the sentiment..i'm loving this challenge so much i'm addicted..lol..

I so missed out on last weeks challenge as i had computer problems..yes a big fat virus had took over it completley robbing me of all my files :( can not tell you how gutted i was..and still am.. so i have purchased the new windows 7 and i,m in the middle of putting things back..hopefully it won,t take me that long..if only i'd of saved all my digital downloads to an external hard drive.. never mind sharn't make that mistake of saving to the computer agan..

anyways i have tried something different with this card..after being inspired by the lovely chrissie.....and embossed my card using nessties with my cuttlebug..thanks chrissie! whilst the nesstie was still in place i added some chalk to the inner..added some primas blooms and pearl brads..and thats was it..simple!

the sentiment is a freebie that i got from create with TLC..

well thats it from me today..enjoy the rest of your weekend..and TFL and all your lovely comments its so much appreciated..
