Burst Of Dots!

Morning.. Where has this week gone.. sorry i didn't visit many people this week I spent it trying to catch up on life after a crazy 3 weeks.  Didn't help that blogger has been playing up all week... It even lost a couple of scheduled posts completely!!

This week at Less Is More we want to see you use something "Recycled" it can be anything as long as it's been used before.... I dipped into my boxes of rescued items to reuse!! Here is my card...

I even managed to use some unused stash!! This memory box die was purchased after seeing Melly Moo use it a while ago and has since been sat there!  It's finished off with the fabulous happy birthday from Simon Says Stamp.. I love these dies!!

That's all from me today... Have a great weekend!!

I Dreaming Of A White Christmas...

Morning LIMettes.. It's Saturday again and I'm back over at Less Is More after a couple of weeks off.. Thanks Lizy for holding the fort for me!!

This week we have a colour challenge with a twist ... We want to see white on whitechristmas cards in our

White Christmas 

challenge.  Just remember to keep them clean and simple and follow the challenge rules! I can;t wait to see what you come up with.
We also have a new sponsor with Clearly Besotted.. Just make sure you come back to visit me a bit later to see what is happening for the first birthday!!

Here are my cards for this week...

My first card using a new set from Stampin Up and I have stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink.  I wrapped the card in vellum and simply added the panel on top.

For my second card I die cut out the memory box snowflake 3 times and then placed them on top of each other.  Its simply finished off with some stitching and a big gem!

I'm sorry the photo's are terrible but the light was really bad... I was hoping to re-take them but ran out of time

I'll be back very shortly with an exciting post and a chance to win a fabulous prize!!

Pansy Trio

Morning.. a really quick card for you today I made using one of the new SU sets that Lizy brought around at weekend.  This is the Pansy punch and matching stamps!!

I have added a little black glass glitter into each of the flowers and the leaves are from a memory box die. The sentiment is also from SU.

Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend... and hopefully some crafting !

Have a great Friday
