Less Is more 19 one layer "In the frame"







It's Limette day again!



I hope you have had a better week than I have it's been terrible.



On the way to my Aunt's funeral yesterday I had a call from my son to say he is going to Afghan in August even though he has a broken and arthritic foot! I new it was coming and of coarse it is his job. Surely they should sort his foot out first.



We got back home tonight to find out a familly friend has passed away.

I think I am in shock.



Thank goodness for card making I really don't no what I would do without it!


My first card is A5

I used the adorable teddy stamp. I have had it years and havn't used it for ages.

I coloured it in with Whispers pens.



Second card

A6 tent. I used the Cuttlebug flourish stamped the rose with Brilliance ink pads.
I'm off to bed now, exhausted I will try and catch up with everyone tomorrow.



Thanks for calling! xx Jan

Humphrey!

Happy Friday everyone!

What an awful week I have had! My lovely Aunt passed away on Wednesday. RIP. It was a blessing really she was so poorly. She had Gangrene in her leg and needed it amputated but was to ill to have the operation. She has been poorly all this year really. While she was in hospital she has had MRSA & Ecoli! It's a miracle she has lasted the time she has.
On top of this I have had a couple of friends who have been poorly.
To top it all major PC problems.
Hassle with cars. Let's just say the list goes on........ To top it all we have just found out my Aunt wants her funeral to take place at Blackpool where she used to live! OH isn't well (grumpier than usual) at the mo doesn't want to go!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sorry to go on but I feel like I am going to burst! I just needed to get it off my chest!
Looking on the bright side (is there one) the son is shining!!


On to the card... How can you not smile when you look at this gorgeous character Humphrey from Crafters Companion. I stamped him in black Memento. I coloured him with the fabulous Whispers pens.(thanks for the tip Leanne)!


I also used Cosmic shimmers Acrylic Drawing inks. I bought from the fab Scrapbook shop. to highlight areas.


Nesties 10 Me to you embossing folders. Distressed with TH Brken glass. Papermania card stock. Craftwork cards candy. Up & away First edition paper pad.
