Less is More Week 11

Guidelines this week is to use acetate at Less is More. Mmmmmmmmmm, I knew what I had in mind to do, so started off well - then it all went pear shaped! The frame centre is acetate and I intended to cut an aperture and have the sentiment on the inside of the card - But I put the double sided tape on the wrong side of the sentiment. OK rethink!! I still cut an aperture but stuck the sentiment to the inside front of the card and applied the frame with foam tape to give it a little dimension, lastly I added a butterfly that was printed onto acetate.

Fire Fire!!

This is an order for a 90 yr old lady who is hoping for a ride in a fire engine on her birthday. So the lady who ordered it wanted a fireman on the front. The only fireman digi stamp I know of is from Victoria Case, so had to order it P D Q. And true to form Victoria got it to me the same day. Isn't it cute?

Less is More Week 10

How time flies! Another week gone by and it's saturday again. This weeks challenge from Less is More is a one layer card that focuses on the sentiment. I very often use this image, but normally have her sitting on the person's name to make it a bit more personal. But that "R" looked lovely and comfortable so thought I would try it this way for a change. The text is computer generated. The R is "champignon" and the image is from The clipart fairy and is called lounge girls

I hate this

Not the card I might add...................I love this......... It's just I hate making cards for thr sake of it. I'd much rather make a card for someone and personalise it. This is a download from scrapbookingmad.com Have a good look around it's surprising what is on there! And very reasonable!!

Formula 1 "Boy" Racer

My DIL phoned today and told me she intended to buy my son formula 1 tuition for his birthday in a couple of weeks time. I couldn't resist a themed card. Card frame from "The clipart fairy" Image from scrapbookingmad.com

A triple easel card A5

I have only ever made one triple easel card before and that was 12" x 4" closed. Very difficult to find an envelope for that one, and had to cut down an A4 envie. So wanted to try to do one that would fit C5 envelope. Had a play yesterday and worked out the dimensions, which turned out quite well. Frames and images from "The clipart fairy"

Less is More Week 9

We are on week 9 at Less is More........Amazing really as I am thoughly enjoying doing these type of cards. The image I've used this week was originally just black and white, but I took it into Paint.Net and changed the middle dress to red to comply with this weeks guidelines which is "A touch of Red" I love this image as it has a classic feel to it!
