Celebrate

A sunny but cold day today, I was up early to go to Harbour Town as Emma had lost her name badge for work there when she was in town on Monday and someone had found it - so now it's in the post and on it's way back. She had sent me a photo of Trevor in his new coat - all snug and warm so I thought I'd share it with you!

More talking than crafting was done this afternoon at our craft group and Sandy shared the photos of her sons wedding. Sandy brought me the latest Docrafts magazine and the freebies gave me the inspiration for this card.

Challenges Entered:

Come and Get it Challenge - Butterflies and Flowers

Annabelle Stamps Blog - Paper Piercing

 I have tried photographing as the scan did not do the colours justice - I think I need to work on my camera skills!

Engagement Wishes

A beautiful day, went to a craft fair with Sandy - spent up big and just as we were about to leave bemoaning the fact that our favourite stand from Queensland wasn't there - we found it!!! Needless to say more plastic was melted! Then we realised we were supposed to be back for craft in 15 mins so we had to put our skates on. I only had an hour at craft as I had to have some tests done - so I left the girls to it and wouldn't you know it they were running half an hour late - not impressed.

I started this card before I left and finished it when I got home, I am entering it in this weeks Annabelle Stamps Challenge - Bling Sketch . My friends Kwan and Alex announced their engagement last night so this is for them.

Best Wishes

Thanks for dropping by, I had a very busy weekend, no time for craft - so no card making was done - I am running very behind with challenges for this week! We were up on the river for the weekend - we cruised to Mannum and stayed overnight and had tea at the Mannum Club with a few other boaties, before leaving on Sunday morning and cruising to Pompoota for a gathering of the Wooden Boat Owners Association - a beautiful day and a large number attended both by boat and car. We have my sons birthday dinner on Friday night and friends coming for dinner Saturday night so I don't know how much card making I'll get done - but where there's a will there's a way!!

Tonight's card is for this weeks LIM Challenge - Polka dots.

POLKA DOTS

As long as your design is Clean and Simple, has some white space (or its equivalent) and polka dots in evidence somewhere, it will be perfect for this challenge.

And also for Make It Monday - Anything Goes.

A Little Bit Older

What a wet, miserable day - but all the better to stay home and make cards, just Joyce and I at craft today, Sandy is away, Anne's little boy is sick - hope he gets better soon  and Kim & Sylvia had the painter in - needless to say we still managed to cover the table with all our stuff!! If you look carefully you'll spot the chocolate biscuits!

Today's card is for this weeks Less Is More Challenge

Ok, so we have our 'Lucky Dip' week as it's the fifth Saturday of July.

Another cold winter day in Adelaide, I went shopping with my sister-in-law, then came home and tidied up some paperwork - (not that you can tell!). Today's card is for the new "Less is More Challenge"

These ONE LAYER CARD challenges 

seem to come around so quickly and here we are once more with another. Many LIMettes are now much more comfortable with this type of CAS card and each month we have some stunning contributions.

For our challenge today we would like to see 

SOMETHING WITH LEGS

This should give you plenty of scope, but please don't forget that we still need to see areas of white space and minimal embellishments on your entries.

SU Sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Congratulations Chef

Hi, this is a card commissioned (makes one feel good!) by my daughter for her friend - a chef who is opening up his first restaurant an up market dessert bar. The Stamp is from SU Voila and the sentiments are from Whimsical Words and Well Scripted, I double stamped and 3D'd the cake and candle although you can't really tell that from the picture. I also saw this stamp used as a Christmas Santa whilst I was blog hopping the other day - so I might have to give that a go too.
 I've tried scanning this time as the camera didn't seem sharp enough.
