Up, Up, And Away...

Over on LIM 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.

Off now to get some work done before the rugby (Scotland V Ireland) starts at 17.00 so that's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

My Mantra...

For this week's LIM citrus challenge I've used Pink Petticoat's 'Life's Lemons' digi images changing the fruit to limes and adding my mantra for the sentiment - 'I'm may not be right but lime never wrong!' 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).

Now all we need is some ice, botanical liquor and tonic for the perfect refresher to celebrate our fabulousness!

That's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Just Hangin'

Entering the LIM challenge for the fourth week in a row woo-hoo! This week the theme is to use wire. I've twisted some wire into a branch ending in the word 'hi' for my little Paper Smooches Squirrel to dangle from.

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.

That's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

A Little Art Deco...

Morning all - another week and another brilliant LIM challenge which is add some texture.

This week I've used a SCUT file with my Cricut to create a Charles Rennie MacIntosh(ish) Mother's Day card. Congratulations to all the prize winners on the birthday challenge - all are equally fabulous as each other.

Off to walk my chocolate fur ball in another gloriously sun drenched Scottish Saturday. Roll on summer.

That's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Tangoed!

I was looking at my blog stats the other day and can't believe how few posts I had in 2014 and 2015. The LIM 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.

That's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday LIM Stars!

Happy 5th Birthday Less Is More! 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.

Sorry for the poor photograph but there is practically zero light here at any time of day at the moment - roll on summer.

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.

That's all for now folks - have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

On A Roll!

Woohoo! My second post for 2015 - hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things in 2016 and do my LIM challenge on a Saturday morning as religiously as I did my homework back in the day.

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.

Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend and I wish you a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
