Phew!  I've just managed to make a card for the Less Is More challenge.

I had this card planned in my head and had to rush out to the ribbon shop in my lunch hour yesterday.
Note to self - labelling packing boxes 'craft supplies' does not help when you are trying to find ribbon!!

I'm hoping Chrissie and Mandi will let me scrape through this week.
I know I should have a sentiment on here, but - yes, you know the drill - they are all packed away.
I will add a 'Happy Anniversary' to this, when I can - cross me heart :o)

I would also like to enter this for the following challenges -

Ready Teddy Go - Anything Goes. Check out their First Birthday Blog hop too, running til Aug 19th. Congrats ladies xxx
Top Tip Tuesday - Focus on the Ribbon
Digi Tuesday - Monochromatic
Totally Papercrafts - Monochrome

Supplies.

Float Like A Butterfly

Somebody help me! For the last few months I have taken to reading romantic chick lit !! Eeek!! Mainly because it's so cheap to buy for my Kindle, but now I find myself enjoying it. OMG, before you know it I will be on the hard stuff... Mills & Boon ! And we all know it's a slippery slope from there to Barbara Cartland. Do I need professional help?

Anyhoo... enough chit chat. We have a new challenge for you over at Totally Papercrafts - hosted by the lovely Wendy who has chosen the theme

Things With Wings

I have used this cute Teddy Bea image where I cut out her arms, decoupaged them and then coloured her with Copics.

This week we are being sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop who are offering a $10 gift voucher to the lucky winner. Pop over to the blog to see the work of my fab teamies and say hell to our newest member of the gang Susan of Mix's Meanderings.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow...

... I am singing away in my best, squeaky voice. 

Even the dog has buried herself under the duvet - honestly - I can't carry a tune in a bucket!!

RAINBOWS is what our Joey wants to see at Totally Papercrafts this week. 

No singing necessary! :-)

I'd like to say that this was one of those quick and easy cards, but for some reason these CAS cards take me the longest time. 

The little bunting was fiddly to put together and I must have tried a dozen different images before I decided on this cute Teddy Bea.

Then I held my breath as I stamped the 'Happy Birthday' onto the card and - look Mum - no smudges!!    :-)
 

I hope you'll play along this week - I am looking forward to seeing some pretty, rainbow colour combos.

Check out the challenge blog for some inspiration from my fab teamies and for details of the prize from this week's talented sponsor - Delicious Doodles.
