Have a Little Giggle..

Morning LIMettes... so this week didn't get any quieter at work, but the company finally floated on the stock exchange yesterday so it will either calm down or get more manic in the weeks to come :-(
This week the recipe over at Less Is More is...

Humour

We would like your cards to make us giggle this week... Here are mine...

I've used a fantastic set from this months sponsor for my first card this week.  It's simply coloured with flexmarkers and mounted on a red card base. The edges have been pierced using my score bug tool and hougie board.

My second card uses a sneak peek of the new pretty vintage range from lili of the valley.  It's a fabulous sentiment from a set called "Quotables - Friendship". I have stamped it in black onto kraft card stock and then used clear glitter to make it sparkle, although you cannot really tell in the photo.  I have finished it off with some faux stitching around the edge.

I'm just glad it's the bank holiday and I can chill out for a couple of days. I'm off to visit my blog friend Rach this afternoon and then the flicks tonight. Tomorrow is reserved for a BBQ and a bit of crafting and Monday is a full day of crafting and getting ahead for the next few weeks...

Hope you have a great day

So I am really late posting this after a day off yesterday... I just needed to step away from blog land even for 24 hours and I feel a little refreshed and a lot less pressured!

I got home from work today and it felt  like Christmas... Lots of parcels... One from Penny Black from the US, a couple of new CDs and most importantly the new stamps from LOTV to start sneak peeks... and I'll have my first one tomorrow!! But before that I thought I would share a little card I made earlier in the week...

We Are Sailing... The Paper Players #146

Morning... so a really quick card I made for this weeks The Paper Players challenge where this week the theme is...

I decided to use one of my favourite stamps from last years SU catalogue.  Here is my card...

I'm not 100% sure on the sentiment placement lol... but at the moment I never seem happy with my cards :-(.

Got to rush.... need to drop off my card box at Mums so she can take to church and forgot to take it last night! I dare not as it's super full and I really need to sell some more!
