I couldn't not help Mandi and Chrissie get to 1000 entries on Less is More this week so this is my drop in the ever growing ocean! Please pop over and join us this week, the theme is anything goes as long as it's CAS .... lets get to 1000 entries, I will be back with more :)
CASual Fridays are wanting mini cards this week so being 4" square, this fits nicely too...
The branch is a Memory Box die and the tree ornaments are a cheapy stamp set by Kars from Hobbycraft. I'm pleased with the scratchy effect on the background...it's my new stamp from Stampin Up, I managed to find one despite it being sold out on the last chance list ... thanks Vicky :)
Whilst I've been AWOL I have received some blog candy from the lovely Lynn, won some more blog candy today from the super cool Jen W and received this lovely card from the talented Stephanie .....
aren't I a lucky girl :)
We have finally got our laptop back again from laptop hospital after needing it's graphic card re-baled ( like I know what that means! ) but here's a word of warning ...... don't use a potentially embarrassing photo as your desktop background ! We did, and of course this is what the technicians would have seen when they got the laptop up and running again .....
...ok stop laughing, this was a mini photo booth session for a photography course Hannah did a few months ago and it was quite fun to do :) James didn't want to look at the camera and my sister in law ( wearing antlers ) was a good sport too and yes that's me giving the donkey evils :)
The guy in the computer shop thinks we are completely crazy and of course he's not far wrong!!!!!
Hope that's made you smile anyway, thanks for looking and it's good to be back X

Ooh, now this I love! I have the branch die on order and can't wait to get mine and seeing what you've made with yours I am even more inspired.
ReplyDeleteAha! Knew you'd put that stamp to excellent use! I've seen many baubles hanging from a branch but I must say you've raised the bar with this gorgeous card. Love the photo too (might try a tache myself...!) and I'm so pleased to hear the mansion is clean and tidy at last! Vx
