Good morning all, goodness knows what the weather will bring today but as I'm writing this we have a red sky here in
'Sunny Hunny'
I'd like to say 'hello' and thank you to my new followers, you certainly know how to make someones day!
It's Thursday already which means DT time for me over at
Before I show you my card today I just want to thank everyone who played along last week with our
Inspired By A Song Challenge
I had the best time checking out all the blogs and songs. It was the most fun I'd had since I started blogging!
Today our Head 'Teamie' The one and only Hazel has chosen the theme and she chose
CLEAN AND SIMPLE
Oh my goodness these are sooooooo NOT simple!!
This was the hardest card I have ever made, and this is about the 7th attempt!
I cannot stamp directly onto a card, I know that now and have I finally come to terms with that fact! It's not that I didn't try
............I think I tried too hard!!
My little 'Janpanse Girl' (I'm still playing last weeks challenge) is a sticker! Is that cheating? It felt like cheating, especially when I tell you my sentiment is a rub on! With that knowledge you would think this card took all of 5 minutes to make, well think again because it took me days!!!!!
And trying to photograph it was another nightmare, I don't think the camera likes red!

HI Laurie.... I love your card! And no, it wasn't cheating... well at least I don't think so!! I love anything oriental, so this is a real pleaser for me. And I soooooooo know what you mean about CAS being CA (anything but) simple.... if you check out my latest creations, you'll know what I mean! They took me three days!

Wow Laurie definitely worth all the effort, such a beautiful card - I love it.
Hope you are OK.

Hi, Laurie, Aww bless, sounds like this card gave you some stress! the Clean and Simple & Less is More are the Hardest cards to make!!! I think stickers, rub ons or die cuts work very well with these types of cards!!
This is gorgeous - love the way the girl's dress matches pattern and the black twine is just right. I think you've got it spot on! Love the sentiment - it's perfect!
Thanks for the Le Mans, France idea btw - Brilliant !!!!!
Have a nice evening!
Hugs Sue xx
Oh no I've started singing again now!!!! Love the card and stickers are definately NOT cheating!!!
