I'm in the end stages of shaking off a rotten head cold, I don't suffer from illness very often... I think that goes with having kids and being exposed to all sorts!!!... but when I do go down with something, oh boy do I suffer :0(
I was feeling more human just in time to make a card with Melania Deasy's newest Digi Stamps, I only had the energy and time to make one and it fits in nicely with Less is More this week which is to use three of anything on a one layer card ....
I always think it's more of a challenge using digi stamps on a one layer card and my techno guru isn't back from her trip yet so I fiddled around in Photoshop to create this image and even added a sentiment in word and somehow it all worked out!!!
I printed onto Linen cardstock because I fancied trying to use Prisma pencils on the texture... I quite like the effect, the sky is SU Bashful Blue applied with a brush... love that shade for skies :0)
I love the little cafe table and chairs which comes from the new Frame it set that Melania is launching this week... here are the two sets
These two sets work well together and I'm definitely going to be using some more of the images soon :0)
We are rather excited today as Hannah is coming home tonight.... seems like she has been away more than 2 weeks, we have only had limited contact and we've missed her loads... although I suspect James is looking forward to a suitcase full of dirty washing to get started on!!!
James's room is ready for him to move back into but we still have to find a new carpet and furniture, so not quite finished and no photos as yet :0)
It seems like I'm forever apologising for not keeping up with your crafty makes recently but I am going to catch up... honest.....who slipped life into 5th gear eh???
School finishes on Friday but whether that makes a difference or not is anyone's guess!!!
Thanks for looking today :0)
