This little stamp from Dovecraft (it also says Studio G on the block, has been part of my stash for quite some time. Although rarely used, I really like it and think that maybe it will be used for a few more cards in the next few days.
This one is for our colour challenge this week at "Less is More" where the choice is GREEN!
I tend to keep coming back to the simple design of a band of something or other stretching across the card horizontally.
Yesterday I went to Bath once more to see my daughter and family. Daisy was doing a ballet class that parents were allowed to watch and so I looked after the baby whilst my daughter watched the class. She was almost in tears to see how wonderfully Daisy responded to the ballet teacher. She had expected that she might be a little like a fairy elephant, but was delighted to see that this was far from the truth.
This weekend we're staying at a hotel called Terravina in the New Forest, to attend a Black tie, Vintage Champagne Wine tasting, which was instigated by a gift from our son and his wife for our respective birthdays. They were back in the summer, but we decided to use the voucher towards this special couple of days.
I have bought a new LBD and am so glad that I have shed 21 pounds but I also bought some special tights to grab in a few more!
Here are a few more cards with green!
All a little predictable at this time of year, but it's what we need isn't it!
Have a great week and do join in our green challenge!
Gorgeous cards Chrissie especially love the little trees, and also the single tree. Hay dont go loosing too much weight, we dont want you to be blown away in these winds we are getting!

ReplyDeleteSmashing cards Chrissie, my fave is the first one with the little green trees & I love the ribbon border. I have one of those border thingies, but never used it. Perhaps I'll dig it out & have a play. Thanx for the inspiration.

Gorgeous Chrissie. The first one is my favorite, I love those trees. The Single tree is fabulous as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time at the Black Tie Wine event and congratulations on losing 21 pounds!!!
Though I don't think they are officially lost; because I found them and firmly attached them to my thighs. LOL!!!!
Back to the craft room for me.
Well- I never have thought of all green!

I love the look of the Edgeabilities and the ribbon and score lines!

Love all the cards Chrissie, the first one is stunning with that row of trees and the ribbon! Congrats on being published again I loved your pyramid box with the metallic embellishments.
ReplyDeleteVal x
another group of simply lovely cards, chrissie! i am a bit partial to the first one, though... love the little trees and the woven ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThree great cards this week, Chrissie! I think perhaps my favorite is the three wise men card...or maybe the first card...no...sorry, can't make up my mind!! They're all fab!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss!! I've lost 50 lbs thus far but still have a few to go and with the holidays upon us, it might be tough! Good luck!
Brilliant cards Chrissie, I love them all but my favourite if I had to choose, would be the three wise men!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend and very well done for loosing the 21lbs, you must look and feel fabulous:0) Gay xxx
All are gorgeous cards Chrissie, especially like the way the ribbon is threaded through - bit different and unusual Karen x
ReplyDeleteI'm very late commenting this week - jet lag!! I really like the first card with the ribbon threaded border - looks fab! But all the cards are stunning.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a super weekend.
Love ALL your cards Chrissie. x
ReplyDeleteThat woven ribbon is so elegant with the stand of trees! I love that card! The others are wonderful too. Especially the Wise Men. Little girls in their tutus are such a delight! Hope you had a good vacation! Sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to bookmark your blog, for sure! Your green cards are just what I like--all 3 are perfection! I was hoping to see more of the Penny Black wreath card on the LIM blog--I love that stamp & your card may be the best use of it I've seen! I'm going to try using it again now!
