This morning I've completed my <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/week-279-colour.html">LIM</a> challenge card whilst waiting for the haze to burn off and then it's another <i>exhausting</i> day in the garden. This week it's a colour challenge featuring the colour purple. For my entry I've die-cut a house with the quote 'a clean house is a happy house' in shimmery cardstock, mounted it on a purple card to highlight the text and added a tartan bow. <br />
<br />

<br />
So given the weather there won't be too much cleaning going on here today - I'll be more Phyllis Diller (housework can't kill you, but why take the chance?) than the queen of gleam.<br />
<br />
That's all for now folks have a great weekend and thanks for looking.<br />

Oh, the jungle VIP<br />
I've reached the top and had to stop<br />
And that's what botherin' me<br />
I wanna be a man, mancub<br />
And stroll right into town<br />
And be just like the other men<br />
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!<br />
<br />
Oh, oobee doo<br />
I wanna be like you<br />
I wanna walk like you<br />
Talk like you, too<br />
You'll see it's true<br />
An ape like me<br />
Can learn to be human too<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I've messed with your head (you'll be singing this all day I bet!) the point of this post is the sketch challenge over on <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/week-278-sketch.html">LIM</a> this week.<br />
<br />
I've used another fabulous Dustin Pike image coloured with Promarkers which never fails to make me grin. However, I really need to brush up on my photography skills as it looks a bit flat despite having been popped on relatively high pads - hey ho.<br />
<br />

Today the challenge is to feature designer paper in a clean and simple style.<br />
<br />

My entry features Pink Petticoat papers and my other passion - shoes. Nothing more to say than I'm off to don my pink polka dot wellies (no pretty pumps today) and get started in the garden. Doggie's adhoc digging means I'll have holes in places where I don't necessarily want them (the joys of Labrador ownership) still you've got to love them. <br />

I've used a cute dragon image from the fabulous Dustin Pike which I've coloured using a combination of Copic and Promarker pens, the sentiment is from The Alley Way. I really enjoyed this fun challenge so if you have not already done so go ahead and...<br />
<br />

To enter the <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/challenge-272.html">LIM</a> challenge this week I need to use physical stamps - this could be 3 individual stamps or the same 3 stamps used multiple times. It's not that I don't own actual stamps - I'm just a bit fearful of them so I seem to always revert to my beloved digi's. So now the palpitations are over here goes:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v4tJBbflQBc/VxOhsSoQ1eI/AAAAAAAABbU/0zNCfxl3lDMdNXpGhLvHk-DZDbEsh5PzwCLcB/s1600/DSC04431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v4tJBbflQBc/VxOhsSoQ1eI/AAAAAAAABbU/0zNCfxl3lDMdNXpGhLvHk-DZDbEsh5PzwCLcB/s400/DSC04431.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
The paper is by Pink Petticoat, the flower is by Hero Arts, the leaves are from one My Minds Eye stamp and the sentiment is from Clear Art. All in all I think the result is OK despite the fact I'm working with one good eye at the moment (that's a whole other story). So after visiting various Doctors and Consultants yesterday here's a little optical joke:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Optician: You need glasses. <br />
<br />
Patient: But I'm wearing glasses. <br />
<br />
Optician: Then I need glasses. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!<br />

I've used Pink Petticoat 'Big Dots' and a Sizzix die-cut flower for my entry in my current colour obsession of black, white and green. However, I'm not really that pleased with the result and will probably have another go later. I definitely use polka dots more than anything else on cards - whilst I envy the use of fabulous jazzy papers they rarely work for me and I revert back to my lovely dots.<br />

Over on <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/challenge-268.html">LIM</a> today the challenge is "What's outside your window". I live not too far from Glasgow Airport and therefore every few minutes a plane passes my window flying all sorts of folks to all sorts of fun and adventures. So I've cut out a cloud shaped card, embossed with some swirls for texture and added a little red plane flying off to the sun hopefully.<br />

I know you must be thinking it must be a struggle to be this perfect and I would have to agree but I just try to soldier on (wink).<br />

Not feeling great today I think I have a head cold - my ears are all bunged up (lovely!)- everything sounds as if I'm in a tunnel. On the plus side it's a nice crisp sunny day here - spring may be on the way finally.<br />

The <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/week-263-one-layer-and-dt-call.html">LIM </a>challenge was once a slight obsession and a must do first thing on a Saturday morning - bugger the housework and any other chores until it was done. In 2016 I hope to get back to my weekly fix - so without further ado the challenge this week is one layer featuring a stem. I've used Pink Petticoat Frilly Millie Pumpkin featuring a stem in her hat. I loved all the Filly Millie images when I bought them but I think I've only ever used one of them once - shameful! It's a tad too orange I think but hey ho. The challenge blog is also looking for two new DT members so if you fancy your chances simply enter DT after your entry.<br />

For their special birthday challenge the theme is white on white (with minimal metallic or black and white accents). I've chosen to make a birthday card using the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder and some stars highlighted with gold metallic star card. <br />

Sorry for the poor photograph but there is practically zero light here at any time of day at the moment - roll on summer.<br />
<br />
Can I also take the opportunity to thank all the stars past and present who administer the LIM challenge and the design team members for their weekly inspiration - thanks again.<br />

My second post for 2015 - hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things in 2016 and do my <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/weeks-255-256.html">LIM</a> challenge on a Saturday morning as religiously as I did my homework back in the day.<br />
<br />
The current challenge theme of 'Homespun' runs for two weeks over the festive season and I've gone with sewing as my theme. I've made a set of paper buttons which I've sewn onto a personalised card for the recipient. I had intended the Pink Petticoat background to be a bit more washed out than it appears so I hope it still qualifies as CAS.<br />
<br />

Where does the time go? I barely remember how to do this but here goes - a cheeky wee entry for this weeks one layer challenge.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9PTznZiHkNE/VmwnX-7mkyI/AAAAAAAABYY/xDwaHeM-z8M/s1600/DSC04343.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9PTznZiHkNE/VmwnX-7mkyI/AAAAAAAABYY/xDwaHeM-z8M/s400/DSC04343.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I decided to go a bit 'off piste' and use pastel rather than traditional Christmas colours on a Pink Petticoat image with a little Glamour Dust for a bit of crimbo sparkle. Quick and simple which will do as an emergency card for any I've missed. I think it must be time to replace the hosiery as I don't think these can take much more patching.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping you have been nice and not naughty this year and that Santa brings you everything you wish for because you know what does Santa leaves in naughty boys and girls stockings? Answer: Batteries with a note saying "toy not included" - you have been warned!<br />
<br />
<br />

Here's my entry for this weeks <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/lucky-dip-week-174.html">LIM</a> challenge which is to use more than one stamp. I can't believe I've actually used proper stamps and not my beloved digi variety - perhaps I'll be converted (nae, nae and thrice nae). Anyway the VW camper and the sentiment is from Kanban and of the inky variety and the tree is a cheeky wee digi. If I ever use this card I'll make a personalised number plate for the van.<br />

<br />
Once again I can't believe how long it's been since I've participated in the<a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/week-173-we-have-recipe.html"> LIM </a>(or any other)challenge. Despite the fact that I now have a dedicated craft room I seem to get embroiled in other things.<br />
<br />
<br />

Anyway the challenge this week is to use a die cut. I've used a Sizzix camera die on various scraps of paper and computer generated the sentiment.<br />
<br />

Wishing all my readers a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014. I would also like to offer you some advice if you are over 21: Hogmanay is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without looking tragic. I also thought I would help you with your resolutions - these suggestions are actually achievable:<br />
<br />
<br />
Read less. <br />
<br />
Gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds. <br />
<br />
Start buying lottery tickets at a luckier store.<br />
<br />
Stop exercising. Waste of time. <br />
<br />
Watch more TV. You've been missing some good stuff. <br />
<br />
Gain enough weight to get on The Biggest Loser.<br />
<br />
Procrastinate more. <br />
<br />
Do less laundry and use more deodorant.<br />
<br />
Don't waste your time relieving the past, instead worry about the future.<br />
<br />
Drink. Drink some more (it will help you forget the past).<br />
<br />
When becoming tearful through alcohol - drink more really quickly to progress to the next level - your runny mascara makes you look like an ugly version of Alice Cooper. <br />
<br />
Stop buying worthless junk on Ebay.<br />
<br />
Stop taking a packed lunch to work: you really should eat out more. <br />
<br />
<br />
I hope these help - you will feel so much happier knowing you have achieved your goals.<br />
<br />
Once again, have a good one.<br />
<br />

However I thought I'd take the opportunity to participate in the last LIM (aka the best) challenge of the year (a little sucking up never did anyone any harm!). And as it's such a busy time of year those little LIM fairies have been kind and allowed us to choose our own theme from any previous challenge.<br />
<br />
I've chosen Week 38 - Recipe Polka Dots to enter this little number:<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HUfT_6gUF84/UrWOlC5FX_I/AAAAAAAABGc/pwWQwJCL_nY/s1600/DSC04131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HUfT_6gUF84/UrWOlC5FX_I/AAAAAAAABGc/pwWQwJCL_nY/s640/DSC04131.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I've used Pink Petticoat's Hettie image and Big Fella papers. To finish the year I'll leave you with some Hettie the Hippo inspired smiles:<br />
<br />
What do you call an insincere <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1387630428889_1">hippo</span>? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: blue;">A hippocrite</span>.</span> <br />
<br />
How do <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1387630428889_2">hippos</span> commute? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">In a hippopotabus</span>. <br />
<br />
What do you call two hippos riding a bicycle? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Optimistic. </span><br />
<br />
What do you give a seasick hippo? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Lots of room.</span><br />
<br />
How can you be sure that a hippo is telling you the truth? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Have him take the <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1387630428889_3">Hippocratic Oath</span>. </span><br />
<br />
What happens to hippos who get too cold? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">They get hippothermia</span>. <br />
<br />
What do you call a hippo who thinks he's sick? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">A hippochondriac. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Have you stopped groaning yet? Well all that remains is to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks to the LIM girls for another year of fabulous challenges and to my readers for sticking with me - I'll try to be a better blogger in 2014.</span><br />

Ellie is my little chocolate drop - mwah, mwah, mwah - if you said to me a year ago I would love this little muck raking, hole digging, hair shedding, food begging, toy destroying, attention seeking bundle of fur I would have called you crazy. She is only 7 months old now and completely rules the roost. Life's certainly not tough for this drain on our finances as this is her favourite pose:<br />

I've used a Custard Cow Sugar Nellie rubber stamp coloured with Faber Castell watercolour pencils. The sentiment is from Sizzix Slobbery Kiss Alphabet Die. I have to go and have a wee lie down now due to the trauma of using an <b>actual stamp </b>as opposed to digi - oh my giddy aunt! <br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.<br />

<br />
Still here and hopefully I will have more time to myself soon after months of dealing with builders etc. So I've made a little Easter card using a cool bunny image from Dawn Moore. I've added tiny little seed beads to the jazzy shirt to fit with the <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/week-112-recipe-use-beads.html">LIM</a> challenge of 'Use Beads'. The image has been coloured using Promarkers and shows my pathetic attempt at shading.<br />

So just before I go here is a question for you:<br />
<br />
Q. How do you know carrots are good for your eyes? <br />
<br />
A. Have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses? <br />
<br />
Boom Boom! Hopefully I can rejoin the LIM challenge on a more regular basis from now on. That's all folks!<br />

<br />
After being mostly absent without leave since October due to having an extension built on the house I thought I'd sneak in a quickie for this weeks one layer music challenge over on <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/week-106-one-layer.html">LIM</a>. I've used a Pink Petticoat Lola Rose image which I've paper pieced with a combination of Pink Petticoat Lola Rose and freebie denim paper from Papercraft Inspirations.<br />

<br />
Before I go I need to share a little story which appeals to my warped sense of humour. During the week I took a relative to hospital for some tests which involved getting a dye injection into their veins. After hospital we went for a nice lunch and then started to make our way home. As we left the restaurant the bus we were intending to catch passed us (a full 5 minutes early grrrr!) and with a further 30 minutes wait until the next one we jumped into a hostelry right behind the bus stop. My relative can't see very well and as we entered the ladies there was no light in the corridor. Once inside the toilet proper, out of about 8 cubicles, only one had a working bulb. As a result this cubicle was obviously overused and wasn't flushing properly. Anyway we answered the call of nature then went to the bar where I ordered 2 small glasses of wine and the following conversation took place:<br />
<br />
Me: Are the management aware that there's only one working light bulb in the ladies?<br />
<br />
Barman: Yes we're aware of it. We have to get the light bulbs from a specialist supplier, they're on order and we're expecting them any day now, sorry. (<i>On the tip of my tongue: have you tried that specialist supplier B&Q mate?)</i><br />
<br />
Me: Only I noticed a sign on the wall in there that if anyone is found taking drugs on the premises the police will be called. If I wanted to shoot up I would have trouble finding a vein it's so dark in there! <br />
<br />
The barman had a good old chuckle as I am the least likely druggie you could imagine. Anyway the thing that amused me most about the story is the fact that the fluorescent dye injected into my relative makes your skin yellow and colours your urine. As the toilet she used wouldn't flush properly her yellow fluorescent wee is probably the only source of light remaining in the ladies of this classy establishment! Sorry for the toilet humour but I did warn you my sense of humour is a bit warped.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all for now folks - got to go as Scotland are playing Italy in the Six Nations soon - let's hope they don't match last weeks gubbing at the hands of England. Cover your ears now much screaming (<b>come on Scotland</b>) at the telly to follow!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.<br />

Instinct tells you to permanently flick your duster which, although completely pointless, takes your mind off the carnage surrounding you.<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto happier things and a little theraputic challenge over on <a href="http://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/challenge-60-buttons.html">Let's Craft and Create</a> which is to use buttons. My entry is a little baby shower guest book which I was asked to make to try to match existing stationery.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BeOuC-6Sn5c/UMrzAIRFKXI/AAAAAAAABBQ/LEnnpTEVHpM/s1600/DSC04012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BeOuC-6Sn5c/UMrzAIRFKXI/AAAAAAAABBQ/LEnnpTEVHpM/s400/DSC04012.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I made the digital paper and the baby face is from Cricut's Doodlecharms cartridge. It's meant to look like a little baby tucked up in bed - not sure if I achieved that but it was quite a good match for the shower theme.<br />
<br />
I'm also entering it into:<br />

That's all for now folks - dusting beckons and a weekend of brushing and mopping - but most importantly a couple of days free of 'workies' wandering in and out of the house.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.<br />

I haven't posted for nine whole weeks! The reason for being AWOL is that we are having an extension built so I'm mega stressed, can't find a thing and permanently covered in dust. Nine whole weeks without entering my favourite <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/week-95-recipe-glamour-and-glitz.html">LIM</a> challenge - I need therapy. Given the current turmoil I must confess that the card I'm entering this week was made quite a while ago and has sat waiting for the opportunity to be entered into an appropriate challenge.<br />
<br />
So without further ado here it is:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9CQ--fRKvjs/ULCW5I1Rp7I/AAAAAAAABAs/UBEkxlENJxw/s1600/DSC04079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9CQ--fRKvjs/ULCW5I1Rp7I/AAAAAAAABAs/UBEkxlENJxw/s400/DSC04079.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0zfNwZrDvjU/ULCW6LGEt6I/AAAAAAAABA4/_zy1V11Nntw/s1600/DSC04080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0zfNwZrDvjU/ULCW6LGEt6I/AAAAAAAABA4/_zy1V11Nntw/s400/DSC04080.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
My entry might be a bit tenuous but my tent is 'glamourous' in my opinion and the pearls are 'glitzy' so I hope I'll be OK. The tent image is from <a href="http://www.thealleywaystamps.com/">The Alley Way </a> and the papers are from Pink Petticoat.<br />
<br />
And finally here is a little something to help cheer my current situation: <br />
<br />
Four surgeons are discussing who makes the best type of surgery patient.<br />
<br />
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, <br />
because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." <br />
<br />
The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded."<br />
<br />
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."<br />
<br />
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like builders ~<br />
they seem to understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when <br />
the job takes longer than you said it would." <br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!<br />

This card is for my mum's birthday. The story behind it is that she used to sing this song to my sister and I when we were little girls. Unfortunately I have one of these minds where some things just stick in my head refusing to go away which then drives me to distraction. So don't say I'm not good to you - I like to share and share alike - the whole annoying song goes like this:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">A</span> you're adorable<br />
<span style="color: blue;">B</span> you’re so beautiful<br />
<span style="color: blue;">C </span>you’re a cutie full of charm<br />
<span style="color: blue;">D</span> you’re a darling<br />
and <span style="color: blue;">E</span> you’re exciting<br />
and <span style="color: blue;">F</span> you’re a feather in my arm<br />
<span style="color: blue;">G</span> you’re so good to me<br />
<span style="color: blue;">H</span> you’re so heavenly<br />
<span style="color: blue;">I</span> you‘re the one I idolise<br />
<span style="color: blue;">J</span> we’re like Jack and Jill<br />
<span style="color: blue;">K</span> you’re so kissable<br />
<span style="color: blue;">L</span> is the love light in your eyes<br />
<span style="color: blue;">M N O, P</span> I could go on all day<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Q, R, S, T</span> alphabetically speaking you’re OK<br />
<span style="color: blue;">U</span> made my life complete<br />
<span style="color: blue;">V</span> you’re so very sweet<br />
<span style="color: blue;">W, X, Y, Z</span> I love to wander through <br />
the alphabet with you<br />
to tell you what you mean to me.<br />
<br />
And to help you with the tune:<br />

<br />
Guaranteed this little ditty will be in your head for the rest of the day - sorry! Another example of my overactive brain activity was when Robin Gibb died. I went to bed dog tired but didn't get to sleep until about 05.00 because I had Night Fever playing on a continuous loop in my head - no joke when you're already suffering from night sweats (or power surges as I like to call them) and insomnia.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.<br />
