Ball & Chain

Good Afternoon,

Hope you are all having a nice weekend, we are just back home from visiting Jamie's folks for the weekend, so I am squeezing in my card for this weeks Less Is More challenge before I make a start on tea.

This week the challenge is 'Love & Marriage', as soon as I seen the challenge I knew wanted to use the image I used for the card I gave Jamie on our wedding day.

Supplies Used:
Just Inked DigiStamp
ProMarkers
Stampin Up Sentiment

I just loved this image as soon as I seen it and thought it would be perfect for Jamie on our wedding day so he knew exactly what the future held!

The weekend is almost here!

Good Afternoon,

Well that is my first week back at work done after being off for 3 weeks.  Have to say it was a bit of a shock to the system being back.  Just glad it is nearly the weekend.

I decided to take part in a challenge this week that I haven't done for a while, One Layer Wednesday is being hosted by Karen this week and the theme is 'Masking'.  I love the effect of masking, however have to admit that I tend to stick to the basics.

Supplies Used:
Sizzix Butterfly Stamp
ProMarkers
Stampin Up Sentiment
Glossy Accents

Hopefully I manage to have a nice relaxing weekend, think I am still a little big jet lagged from my hols.

Have a nice weekend

I'm Back

Good Morning Everybody,

First off let me apologise for my disappearance over the last few weeks, me and Jamie were away on our honeymoon in Thailand.  We went to Koh Samui and had two weeks of pure relaxation.  What a beautiful island and such friendly people.

Anyway we are back home with a bump, as we have gone from 34 degrees and sunshine to 10 degrees with torrential rain and gale force winds! Oh well it's home, we should be used to it by now.

I noticed while we were away that my 3-2-1 card for Less is More was chosen for the Showcase! I have to admit to doing a little dance round the room when I seen that.  I have been entering LIM since I started my blog last Novemeber and had never been showcased so to say I was excited is an understatement.  So I would like to thank Chrissie & Mandi for choosing my card.

Now that normal blogging service should resume, I have my entry for this weeks Less Is More challenge which is 'Take 3 Challenges'. So we can pick any previous 3 challenges, arggghhhh way too much choice.  However this is what I have ended up with.

Supplies Used:
Memory Box Die
Woodware stamp for the sentiment
Clear Embossing Powder
Versamark

The past challenges I chose were:
Week 18 [Jun 4th] Colour Monochrome
Week 42 [Nov 19th] Theme Silhouette
Week 55 [Feb 18th] Theme Punches or Die Cuts

Apologises for the poor picture quality, with the weather like it is today, it is difficult to get any good light.

Away off to try and catch up on what I have missed in blog land for the past couple of weeks.  Wish me luck!

Brown & Pink

Good Evening All,

A quick post from me tonight I'm afraid, just stopping by to show you my card for this weeks Less Is More challenge.  Chrissie & Mandi have chosen 'Pink & Brown' this week.  I have really struggled to come up with something I liked this week and there are a few cards deposited in the bin before I finally can up with the best of a bad bunch.

I used my Sizzix beautiful wings die for the butterflies and the coloured card is from my snippet box.  Since I have not harmed any new bits of paper I am also going to enter my card into Di's Snippet Challenge over at Pixies Crafty Workshop.  It's been a few weeks since I have been able to join in at the playground with Di and the other girls so apologies, life is getting in the way right now.  To make it up to everybody I thought I would share a couple more of our wedding pictures.  Can't believe it was 2 months ago we got married, time has certainly flown by! Sorry its a bit picture heavy.

My paper roses, I shared my trial earlier on in my blog if you remember

My husband & the best man

Must dash now, hope you all have had a nice weekend.
