What a week!

Good Evening all,

I hope you have all had a nice weekend.  What a busy week it has been. As I mentioned in a previous post me and Jamie booked our wedding last week & we have 5 months to get organised, so its been full steam ahead.  My only crafting this week has been making paper flowers. I am a complete wimp & terrified of bees and wasps and for the wedding I don't want to be carrying around a punch of flowers which are going to attract those pesky buzzy wasps, so paper flowers it is for me! I think I have finally decided on the Tim Holtz tattered floral die for making them, will come back and show you some of the practice flowers.

However tonight I thought I would share with you the card I made for the latest Less Is More challenge, this week Chrissie & Mandi gave us a sketch to follow.


The stamp was part of Papermania 'Persimmon Collection' by Tina Higgins.  The sentiment was a rub-on but not sure of the make.  I have mounted the white card on dark green cardstock but not sure how well that will show up in the photo.

I am hoping to get back into blog hopping properly soon, so I apologise for not having the time to visit you all, however as soon as I get on top of the wedding planning I will be back into full swing.

    Brilliant card Gilly! Perfect for the LIM challenge!

    I didn't know about your wedding - how exciting and such a super idea about the flowers. No running round shrieking and bashing wasps away with your bouquet :) Are you making the wedding stationery etc? Or is that just a really silly question?

    Hope you still find time to use up your snippets :)

    Ahhh fabulous! I had paper flowers for the table decorations - I used this youtube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpCN8_M5RAQ&feature=related and then covered them in ultra fine iridescent glitter and they looked gorgeous. Very small tho! Can't wait to see your pics :) M x
