Simple!

Hi bloggers

Sorry it's been a few days again since I posted last - again it's that old problem called life!  Sometimes it just doesn't leave enough time in the day for the things I like to do - I have to put up with just getting the things done I need to get done!

So why has life been busy - well we have a couple of weeks of guests staying in the holiday cottage - which means I have to clean it.  I don't know how I ended up with the job of cleaning - I really, truly find it one of the most mind numbing things going!  Kudos to those of you who enjoy cleaning, I don't!

We went to Emily's school Harvest Festival - awww so sweet!  All of 'em jumping up and down for the songs and joining in with the actions - brought a tear to my eye!  Then there was a 2.15 club - an overview for the parents of what they learn at Nursery and Reception.  It was a bit of a whizz through Early Years Foundation Stage, but very interesting when you have no idea what they do at Nursery or School.  We go back in awhile for another talk.

So enough of my life - onto cards.  This a very simple card, for a challenge that Rebekah is a Design Team member for.  It's been ages since I did this simple a card, used to do them all the time for Less is More, so I thought  (as I had a spare 20mins) I'd give it a whirl.

So card:

Apologies if it doesn't come out very well on your screens, I'm having a bit of a problem photographing cards at the mo.  The conservatory is too bright and the kitchen or dining room too dark.  Could really do with finding somewhere that I can take a pic anytime.  Heigh ho, it will have to do.

Card details:

DL size card
Ladybird Crafts Ink stamp - Niki & Friends 'Winestool Niki'
Coloured with my Prismas
Sentiment is from a Fiskars set
Don't know if you can make out that I put some Stickles on the wine glass.

Done!!

Hoping to get round all your blogs tonight, hope you are all having a good weekend.

A very elegant card. Great shading...I do so wish I could do that, I am so envious of crafters who can colour so neatly.

Hi Sarah

this is a great CAS card. I'm always envious when other people can do this, because mine always look boring instead of clean and elegant. Well done! xx Jill B
