Just a Note

This week I couldn’t resist the Less is More Challenge, which was to make a One Layer Card – In the Frame!  So of course I kept it CAS, but had to add just a ‘bit of bling’!   Supplies; …

Friend in Gold!

I decided to play tic-tac-toe with CAS-ual Fridays current challenge.  And after just a little indecisiveness this is what I came up with.  I wanted to use these fabulous new ‘gold’ pearls that I discovered (ie. bought) at last weeks…

Woohooo!

I nearly didn’t finish this one (again)!   I really loved this weeks inspiration from the Play Date Cafe, to me the colours seem very vintagy (not my usual style… maybe that’s why I struggled).  I do LOVE my new Paper Smooches stamps…
