Happy Birthday to me!

Today I will be flying off to Spain with my husband, daughter and two grandchildren. We have been every summer since Daisy was born and she really looks forward to it. A week of R&R for some of the party, but probably not Granny and Grandpops!

We are really looking forward to spending time with them.

Today is also my birthday.... not an incredibly huge one...that comes next year, just a might big one!

Her are my cards for Less is More this week. The theme is Anything Goes!

This is the card I made for my son whose birthday is tomorrow! He's really into sailing and has just returned from a sailing holiday in Greece.

My very kind friend Sherry got the dies for me and shipped them over for me as the company (Creative Time) don't ship to the UK.  Thanks so much Sherry, what a great bunch of people bloggers are!

This utilises a Cuttlebug embossing folder which was inked with Distress ink before running the card through the machine. I was really pleased with how it turned out. The single house is from a Memory Box die and the sentiment computer generated.

For this I did that fiddly process where you have a die with 'tails' and a circle die and you cut them out so that the word die is attached to  main piece of card. Jennifer McGuire did a video explaining the process you can see it here. It gives quite a sense of achievement when it's done.

This last one is another of my watercolour stamp conglomerations. I was quite pleased with how the daisies turned out on this one! It was a commission card for a friend. The stamps are from Art Impressions coloured with Distress Inks. 

Have a wonderful week ...I hope to!
