Almost birthday time!!

Apologies but I've had to disable commenting on this post due to the high number of spam comments :0(

Morning my crafty friends :0)

So with week#52, it's almost a year since Mandi and Chrissie launched the Less is More Challenge blog and it's gone from strength to strength. I have probably only missed a couple of challenges during the year and only joined in on week two... a one layer card!!! Not daunting at all....... much, considering it was my first week of blogging too!!
Less is More has certainly helped me to be more confident in my own style and try new things.  Mandi and Chrissie do such a sterling job commenting and lead the way each week with such fabulous cards to inspire our creations, it's been fun to see the LIM community grow and make new blog friends along the way too :0)
Here's to another 52 challenges and more?

Onto this weeks challenge and it's a sketch which we must keep rectangular and in the orientation shown so the band remains in a vertical position.


I decided to use the gorgeous colour palette at ColourQ this week to make my little flowery scene :0)


The fence is a dienamics die as are the leaves, the flowers are made with a punch. The flower centres are the punch outs from my Crop-o-dile.... love how it curls the card :0)

We are having a bit off a computer nightmare this weekend trying to extend the range of our wifi signal in our house and can't get the darn box of tricks to work and now the laptop has packed up again, so I'm getting this posting  before we have a complete disaster and lose this one too!!

Off to try and count birds  for the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch now whilst sipping a calming coffee and take my mind off frustrating technology problems...... Grrrrrr!!!

Thanks for visiting me, it's great to see you here :0)

  12. Hi Jenny! I just love your creation. The flowers and leaves sticking out between the slats in the fence adds so much interest and dimension. The Colour Q colors are just perfect for your design! I hope you get your computer problems straightened out. It's scary when you realize how much you depend on the darned things...
