All worn out

Tired but happy girlie tonight - been to the NEC Hobbycraft show today. Didn't think it was as busy as normal but that didn't stop me spending more than I should. Managed to pick up some Indigo Blue gilding flakes (scrummy stuff) new Lili of the Valley stamps and some adirondack inks - thinking I should have another go with my brayer having watched the demos on the Lavinia Stamps stand. Stood for ages entranced while Ali (of Create and Craft fame) demoed how she uses masks on the A1 Crafts stand - amazing work. Also managed to do a make and take on the Ali Crafts stand with the lovely Carole - it was a lot of fun.

After all that excitement I then had to go to Parent's evening at school but all was good, told daughter is working mega hard and will hopefully go above expectations in some subjects.

Right off to get a cup of tea and put feet up.

At last time to post some cards

Well its been ages since I've posted anything on here but I have been dipping in and out of other blogs and leaving comments where I can.

I have done a little crafting but not managed any of the Less is More challenges lately - hoping to do something this week if I can.

Anyway it was my husband's and daughters birthdays not long ago so I thought I would blog the cards I made. These are the ones made for my husband Tony, haven't taken photos of my daughter's yet but will try and blog them later this week. Not the best of photos but you get the idea.

Thanks for looking - hope to be back soon.

LIM No. 5

Last (but not least) a card a did a little while ago - don't think this has been blogged before but if it has I apologise again (really want to post as many cards as possible).

The photography on all these LIM 1000 challenge cards is not brilliant but its rather bad light to take piccies really

LIM - No 4

This time a bit of stamping and matting and layering - not sure if this is clean and simple enough so sorry if it doesn't really qualify.

LIM - 3rd card

Another card - this time bit of embossing and some good old stamping and colouring in

LIM - 2nd card

Another card made after my play with inks

Less is More - Week 33 - 1000 challenge

Well I really wasn't sure I'd get to post anything again this week but as I think it might have been my comment that sparked the idea to get 1000 posts I thought I'd better pull out all the stops, as it is I wouldn't say the following posts are my best work but they are cards towards the 1000 challenge over at Less is More

So I played with some inks last night and this is one of the cards I produced
