Hello again bloggers, you must be getting fed up with me this week!
Another 3 in a row week for me but I love it even if I'm struggling to keep up!
Today is new challenge day at
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES
and this week my lovely teammie SUE is hosting
and she would like to see a
VINTAGE or SHABBY CHIC
theme to your projects please
Now vintage I can't really do at all (yes I've tried - and failed!) and Shabby Chic, well I'm not too sure lol this is definitely shabby but not sure that it reaches the chic! All this ripping, tearing, scratching and such like offends my OCD! but this is the best I could do this week folks
My cards are like buses lately! You wait for one and two come along at once! Last week I gave you Kenny K's on consecutive days and this week its Saturated Canary! This image is called Wedding Day from the very talented Krista Smith. Not sure if you can see from this pic but a serious amount of glamour dust was used in the making of this card lol! Doo Hickey dies, WOC flowers, doves, ribbon, twine and cheesecloth all from my stash and Magnolia paper. Don't look too close, you'll see where I ripped her hair off and had to stick it back on again!
Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details and some (better) inspiration from my super teammies, you'll also find all the details about the fabulous prize from this weeks sponsor
That's about it from me this week, I'm going to quietly try and get ahead of myself again, I don't like rushing and deadlines - I always end up unhappy with my work in those conditions!
I just need to quickly tell you this, I won at Kenny K last week (which really pleased me) and last night my 5 digi's were emailed to me by the man himself. Now I know this is probably normal procedure but when I read what he'd wrote
" Elena and I are digging your totally rockin' Tommy Leen card"
I was grinning from ear to ear like an idiot! You would have laughed so much at the stupid expression on my face!
Have a great weekend
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Hi Laurie
This card is an OH WOW WOW WOW card! I LOVE IT! Everything about it is just gorgeous... and certainly tres tres chic!!!! Can I have details on how you made the heart? or is it a pre-done one?
Your colouring of that gorgeous SC image is just perfect... as is your layout and design...... and I smiled about the hair ripped bit (which I can't see btw).... that's the kind of thing I do and hope no one spots it!!
And well done on the Kenny K prize... and the very well deserved comment! I can imagine the grin... but isn't it great that we can still get that total excitement when someone says something like that.... (I've been known to dance around the room on my own!!)
Now, go get your OCD back in order and have a fab weekend!
Hugs

Hi Laurie,Thank you for your sweet comment, I am feeling a little better today, sat at my computer in my dressing gown., having spent four days in bed, coughing like an old man.
I have missed seeing everyone’s creations and am now up to a bit of commenting……
