Something that Moves

I finally got round to making my Less is More card, I haven't missed a week since I joined on week two and didn't want to falter now!

This weeks theme is

 Things That Move

 which could be an actual moving component

 or an image of something that moves.



Given more time I would have loved to try and make a slider or pop up card but seeing as we are at the end of the week now I've opted for an image of a scooter .... a Spiffy Scooter to be precise ....

This Paper Smooches set has not had much use yet and is perfect for a moving object as well as fitting with a couple of other challenges too :)

The Polaroid frame is from a Lawn fawn set called 'Say Cheese' and I decided to distress and ink the edges to give an aged appearance, the sentiment is from a different LF set called 'Cruising Through Life' .... who'd have guessed???

 

Oh and by the way I promised to let you know when Emily at Make The Day Special had Paper Smooches in stock, well she has now and is also waiting for the newest Lawn Fawn stamp sets too .... it's so good to be able to buy these fab stamp sets over here now :)

I'm also entering this card into the Wee Memories challenge #64 as they require a Masculine card and I reckon this could make a good valentines or anniversary card for a guy????

..... and with some amazing planning and fore thought this also fits nicely in with the travel theme over at The Paper Variety too!

 .... oh and The Paper Variety are having their first birthday celebrations starting on the 7th September with lots of giveaways and competitions so pop over here and find out what it's all about .... you might even spot Hannah, she's on the design team :)

You are in with a chance of winning a prize just by displaying this blinkie on your side bar and spreading the word, go grab it from this post here.

I have not had a chance to visit all the other Limettes blogs yet but I will get round to that later today .... still playing catch-up after our weekend away :)

Cheerio and thanks for looking X

Hi crafty friends,

At the beginning of July, Hannah (my daughter) joined the design team at 'The Paper Variety'challenge blog and I thought I would play along this week as they have a tic tac toe board to work from .... I hope family members can play along too?
I also combined this with the CASual fridays challenge which is to make very CAS design on a 4 x 9 card, and how about this  .... this weeks sponsor is Lawn Fawn , one of my fave companies although I decided to not use LF stamps on my card :)

This is so not like me to make a girly card, but I've had this idea for a while in my head since I picked the Studio G crown stamp up for a pound at Hobbycraft :)
I'd also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr Tim Holtz for having the genius idea to drill a row of holes on a gridded acrylic ruler, it makes hand-stitching straight lines so much easier :)

I've added beads and gems to the stitched background and the crown for a little sparkle and dimension, here's a close up ...

Here's the Tic Tac Toe board over at The Paper Variety, I've used PINK, STITCHING and CARD ( obviously!) the challenge is open until Tuesday ...go check it out :)

Yesterday, in the glorious sunshine, we put our tent up on a trial run for a camping weekend we have planned and also to check the mice in the loft haven't used it as a comfy nest over the winter ...I'm pleased to say they haven't :)
I'm glad we took it down again last evening tho as it looks like a scorcher today, not the weather to be in a tent in !!!

Please check back tomorrow as I have my first card to show you as a design team member at St Lukes Charity Card Challenge, until then, thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the weekend X
