Green Again

Ok so before I begin on the card I think I need to explain the amount of green cards recently, I don't mean recycled either lol.

I don't know about anyone else but I seem to go through stages with papers and this kit is no exception. It had sat on my computer for months without so much as a passing glance when I needed to make a golfing card and the argyle paper was so perfect and since then I have used it multiple times. It doesn't help I suppose that the people I am making for at the moment all love green but I am hoping for some pinks, purples, greys well just about any combo to make an appearance soon.

Anywhoo onto the card, used the very versatile paper kit from Summer Driggs called Fresh Start and this time I used the snippets rather than print new sheets, in fact the black and green card came from the snippet box so apart from the image oh wait a minute I used a part sheet of white to stamp onto, see I am now so used to using snippets I forget that I am doing it lol.

Another Baby Boy ...

There seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment for baby boy cards at work, although the next two babies due are supposed to be girls, can't wait to get started on pink cards lol. I used this cutie image from Mo's Digital Pencil as they are so fab for baby cards.

I did make a bit of a mistake though I dropped the copic after I had coloured him in and made a bit of a mess of the circle he was sitting on, so I cut him out and placed him on an embossed circle instead and I must say I prefer it now, a happy accident.

Less is More 1000 Entries Challenge

I am so sorry for the picture quality tonight but I really wanted to enter the Less is More 1000 entries challenge. I have made 4 cards all almost identical and I will post them all one after another so I can enter them all lol.

I am always inspired by the creations I see out in blogland and have loved seeing all the LIM creations for a while but never dared to join in until now. I think it was Lisa's mammoth entries this week that made me pull on my big girl panties and just get on with it....

So onto the first entry....I saw these images on a card on Dustin's blog and couldn't find them anywhere so I asked him if they were for sale...and it turns out that the lady concerned had combined two of his images to create them so Dustin being the kind and generous person he is made three versions and offered them as freebies. thank you Dustin they are awesome.

It's just not cricket....

Before I say anything about this card I need to apologise for the pants photos, I finished this card late at night and needed to get it posted first thing in the morning so the light was awful.

You may recognise the papers and layout from the golf card I made a few weeks ago, I used the offcuts and as I liked the other card I decided to almost copy it lol. My friends hubbie loves cricket and as he is Jamaican the flag colours needed to be featured. I have no idea if the colours of the uniform are correct and no time to check I went with what I thought would look good.
