Less is More - Week 34 - Sketch Challenge

And here we have another post - quite unbelievable I know! This is another challenge that I enjoy taking part in but again just wasn't able to find the time. My Craft Room is even tidy at the moment - must have been the lack of crafting. Don't you find it so much easier to create in a tidy room!

I do love to use black and white with an accent colour - it usually works well! This time I have used a bright pink - a good girly combination!

Less is More Challenge - Week 29 - Things That Move

At last I have found the time to make some cards! The summer has just flown past and have not had nearly as much time to spend in the craft room as I hoped. The positive thing, however, is that at long last I have spent the time completely decluttering, tidying and sorting the craft room and is now much more organised and acceptable for visitors!!! It was so untidy I avoided taking anyone in there when I could! Now that it is tidy the creativity can begin!

So, here is my take on 'Something That Moves'.

Happy Birthday to my lovely Auntie!

Today is my lovely Auntie's birthday. She is in her late seventies and has just spent many weeks in hospital recovering from a stroke. Unfortunately last week she fell and fractured her hip, is back in hospital and has undergone hip surgery. We wanted to make today a special day for her! My youngest daughter and I spent yesterday evening putting together a small scrapbook and making cards while my husband baked the birthday cake - chocolate - yummy!!!

This morning I was up early and have already completed a scrapbook page to replace the front page - which I decided duriing the night that I didn't like!!!

Here are the cards I made for her husband to send and also ourselves.

Less is More Colour Challenge!

At last I squeezed in the time to make a card! The challenge was to create clean and simple card with shades of blue. This is what I made.

What an End of Term Party!

We had a busy day at our house today. Anna had two parties to attend! What a bit of coiffeuring - now you have to bear in mind Anna is all of 11!!! The first party was a birthday party and she enjoyed it very much but the second party was even more exciting! It was an end of term party. Anna is leaving her primary school and moving to grammar school. Only two of her classmates are going to the same school and so they will shortly have to say their goodbyes. One of her friends decided to have a leaving party Anna (along with the others) was collected in a Stretch Hummer! How exciting!! My parents were here, my sister was here and after it arrived most of the neighbours were out too!!! Here are some pics!

Less is More - Monogram Challenge!

Last week, including the weekend was an extremely busy week for me and I didn't get the opportunity to participate in last week's 'Less is More' challenge. I was determined that this week would be different and somehow I would squeeze in some crafting time! Here is the result - I hope you like it!

Less is More Challenge!

This is the first time I have submitted to the Less is More Challenge! I love the 'Clean and Simple' style and most of my cards end up coming into this category, just recently I discovered this fantastic blog and I made some time today to take part. The challenge today was to design a card with a Monochromatic colour scheme and this is what I came up with!
