Beautiful Wings for LIM!

Good evening all!!

I've been off work this weekend so I had a bit of time yesterday to do a little crafting. Of course the first thing I did was create a card for this weekends challenge over at LIM, where Chrissie and Mandi want to see you using your scraps. So this is what I came up with, and aside from the cardblank, everything I have used I found in my scraps and bits and bobs box!

Happy birthday Less is more!

Can you believe that the LIM challenge is 1 year old! Happy birthday LIM and a huge congratulations to Chrissie and Mandie on creating such a wonderful and inspiring challenge blog.

This weeks challenge is a colour challenge and they have chosen Aqua

Its my grandma's birthday at the weekend and so I decided to go with this colour for her card.

and the inside....

Not a colour I would normally have gone for, but I love it, so thanks Chrissie and Mandi. I am also loving my new You are loved set. This floral image makes a fabulous background paper, reminds me of a vintage wallpaper.

Well thats all from me for today. Got tea to make and then I'm off out to my tuesday night craft class!

Thanks fo stopping by.

Hugs, Victoria ~x~

Finally.....Less is More!

Evening all!

I have not taken part in a Less is More challenge for far too long! Shame on me! Sorry Chrisse & Mandi! But after I saw this weeks sketch challenge I knew I wanted to take part as I love this Lay out! It's my Brother in Law's birthday today as well, so it was a perfect opportunity to make a card for him and here it is....

The arty farty shot that shows you the dimension of some of the footballs....



and of course the infamous inside shot (sorry its a little blurred, but you get the idea!)...

Materials

CS: SU Night of Navy and Whisper White

Paper: Daffodil delight from the brights stack

Stamps: SU Cheer and Wishes (Retired), Football stamp from stash (although a similar one is available from SU)

Tools: SU Scalloped border and Circle punches, Versafine Onyx Black ink pad and Night of Navy ink pad

Misc: Dimensionals


Some of you may recognise that I have made similar cards to this before with the same football image and same colour ways. There is a simple explanation for this. All the men in my family love football and apart from my dad they all support Leeds United. Blue, Yellow and white are the LUFC colours!


Well thanks for stopping by. I am hoping to get more in the swing of things again with my crafting, so hopefully I will be entering some more LIM challenges again soon!!

Hugs, Victoria ~x~
