.....makes a card, it would seem :0)
At 4.30 this morning to be precise!!!
I was up early to say goodbye to Hannah when she went off to
the airport so instead of going back to bed and not wanting to wake James
at that early hour,..... his teachers wouldn't thank me!!,
I watched the sun rise from my craft-room window
whilst I made a card for Less is More this week :0)
It's a lucky dip week and we are to use the blog
header as our inspiration for our cards
I'm not one for flourishes and so I went with the
colours and a very, very loose version of the layout!!
..... okay let's just make that the colours then!!!
I love these fun retro cameras from There She Goes, in fact I made a
pink version of this card for Hannah's birthday yesterday,
I had an idea that it would work for LIM if I
changed the colours and that's why it only took a short
time to make this morning!! The filmstrips are dienamics dies and
they are so cute... the most exciting part are the little rounded
corner rectangles that you are left with,
I'm thinking of ideas how to use them already :0)
The LIM header colours also just fit nicely in with
the Dynamic Duos challenge
this week too, my choice being black :0)
Do you remember I said I would have a little giveaway to celebrate my birthday
on the longest day?.....Well I have finally got round to getting it together and photographing it....
...... so I thought this should be the post to offer it on :0)
I'll use the random.org thingy sometime next week to pick someone from the comments on this
post, you don't have to be a follower and I'll send it to any of the four corners of the earth!!
If you don't have a blog please leave an email address too.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by :0)

Super cute card....no way could I craft at 4:30 in the morning...unless I just had not made it to bed yet!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, I had a wry smile when I saw your card, couldn't see the connection but as you explained it's the colours LOL Brilliant card, that die is magic, need it !!!
ReplyDelete'Tis hard saying goodbye, still hopefully Hannah will have great time:0)
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, that's lovely candy thanks :0) Have fun, Gay xxx

ReplyDeleteFabulous card, liking that embossing of the film strip. Lovely. Hugs
ReplyDeleteA definite 'outside the box' take on the challenge Jenny, love the filmstrip die I thought at first it was embossed! Thats 'cos I go straight to the card and read later!! The retro camera is fab and very spotty:)
ReplyDeleteVal x
I don't think we expected you to be 'inside' the box, Jenny... we all love your quirky ideas and fabulous cards! I love the filmstrip as many others seem to have said - I've never seen the die before. Hope your daughter has a lovely time. Thanks so much for the chance to win some goodies!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Jenny..great stamp and live the die cut ...I dont mind early morning crafting when I don't sleep. Hope your daughter has a great time
ReplyDeleteAnne
I'm pretty sure that if this night owl tried to craft that early, her card would be a disaster! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove the layout of this card, Jenny! The way those embossed features lead your eyes to the focal point is fabulous!
I hope you had a fabulous birthday my fellow Mid-Summer's birthday buddy! :D
Hugs!

Great card Jenny. I really like the film strips and the camera together. It will be interesting to see what you do with the left over bits!

super cute card, jenny! love how you used the film strip die (i have that die and have NEVER used it! thanks for the inspiration!)
ReplyDeleteThis card is amazing. Simple yet, well, amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jenny! Do people give you cards? My friends and family try to give me store bought cards, but ones that would wow me. The store bought ones are trying really hard to compete with us hand makers! But we still got washi tape over them. I like the size of that camera stamp, it suits the card well.
ReplyDeleteYou do cards the are this cute at 4:30 in the morning!!?? I am IMPRESSED. Great use of the film strip!
ReplyDeleteLove, love this card - the camera is just fab (I have that set, but it's not seen ink yet!). I am most impressed that you put this together so early. I hope Hannah has a wonderful trip.

LOVE the criss-crossed filmstrip dies and the clever coloring you did on that darling camera. Thanks for some awesome candy and hope your birthday was celebrated splendidly.
ReplyDeleteWow, never in a million years would I be up at 4:30am let along making a card at that time! ;) This is really incredible, Jenny! I love everything you make and now I want both the stamps and the dies. LOL! Happy Birthday to you! Please don't include me in the drawing since I have the stamps and the dies already. :)
ReplyDeleteThat card is CUTE! Makes me wanna head over to TSG to get those camera stamps! :D
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for those early mornings I don't think I'd get much done at all! It took me a long time to switch from being a night owl but so long as I don't mind getting to bed by 9 pm it works ;) I'm too old to party anyhow!
ReplyDeleteLove this card - the camera is too cute, and the film strip die is fabulous! Did you put gloss on the lens as well? It looks MAH-velous!
Quite the fun prize, too - I must get around to that myself, I've been collecting/hoarding for months ;)
Love the details on your camera. Thanks for playing with us at Dynamic Duos.
ReplyDeleteI have said it before and will say it again, I just love how your mind works, it may not be the obvious choice but for me your card is genius for the LIM header. This shows real creative talent Jenny I bow down to you .... now who is going to get me up !!!! Stunning card I love it, so when exactly is your birthday !!!
ReplyDeleteMarie
Lol, I'd be totally incapable of making a card if I had to be up that early! Love this Jenny, fab design as always. Thanks for the chance to win your lovely candy hun :o) Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeleteHeee, wish I was that creative at 4.30! - well, not really, I'm happy enough to be fast asleep at that time of the morning :)
ReplyDeleteFab card, love your camera and film strip (and gorgeous candy too!)
Hope you had a good birthday.
what an awesome design! i love kraft, black and white. and those tone on tone film strips are perfect to draw your eye to the cameras. love it! great take on both challenges :)
ReplyDeleteCard maing at 4.30 am suits you much more than it would me - I am much more an owl than a lark (if I see 4.30 it's cos I haven't gone to sleep yet).
ReplyDeleteWell you know I love that stamp, and that die and kraft so I totally love the card too - CAS perfection.

ReplyDeleteThis is so fab! I love the film strips - I thought they were embossed! Great idea! Yummy candy too - please don't count me in though as I have those fab dies and wouldn't want to take them from someone else! :-D

OMG...76 comments??!! I almost didn't make it to the end before I ran out of time, today:)!:)! Your card is amazing, as usual...love the camera and the embossing behind it...sweet!! Both my daughters have left before, one didn't come back(married in Tennessee)...but I've always felt...I did what I was supposed to do as their mom, now THEY get to do what THEY'RE supposed to do as grown young women!! It will be ok:)!!!...new and exciting times ahead!!
ReplyDeleteA great interpretation of the logo. I especially like the way that you used the same card for the die as you did for the base card.
ReplyDeleteLilian
I love it when I am productive when I get up early. Love the filmstrips and the camera. The tone on tone is a perfect fit and doesn't make the card too busy! TFS!
ReplyDeleteBest time of the day, when I can get up LOL. it certainly works for you, this is great.
