One Layer.....hmmmm not easy!

Really enjoyed making my last "clean & simple" card for the Less is More challenge, so I couldnt wait to get cracking on the next one. The theme this time is "one layer". Have to 'fess up, that I did find this really hard, torn between not wanting the card to look boring and plain, but still sticking with the C&S style. Hope i've not done too badly with this one. It was created using serif page plus s.e, printed and Mint coloured sticky pearls added to embellish.

Happy Valentines Day to you all!

To be honest, my hubby and I dont bother with the cards, flowers, choccies anymore, but for those that do, I hope you're having a romantic day!

One little card to share with you today, this image was "donated" a while ago, and I found it by chance, this weekend. Have seen it a lot of cards recently, isnt she pretty! backing paper is an from an old papermania stack, MS border punch used, the "thank you" is an embossing folder, flower from stash box and this cute little button was part of some bits I ordered last week from The Ribbon Girl.


Thanks for visiting me!

Less is indeed more!

One happy little.....daughter!

Big smiles all around today as my gorgeous Megan returned from her appointment with the orthodontist minus the braces!

before

after
to be fair, I think the smiles were more of grimace as the surgery is on a busy main road.....and it had just started to rain, but even so I think she looks just fab. xx

birthdays are like buses.........

none for ages, then all of a sudden - loads, and just my luck, my printer is playing funny b*****s when im trying to print out birthday sentiments, so have had to rely on a section of one of my trusty c'bug folders for this one. The image was donated (isnt it cute!). This yummy paper followed me home from a trip to Oyster stamps, I think it is made by Snugglebug, and it is supposed to be a boys design, but i think its far too pretty for that, lol!

I am entering this card into Pear Tree Designs - free for all challenge

Friendship Card

This is the card that I made for the December Friendship swap on Docrafts, it will be winging its way to my swap partner first thing tuesday morning

The image is a freebie from Little Musings, the "friends" wording is a section cut from a c'bug embossing folder.
