Less is More - cats and/or dogs

I'm very late posting tonight - Pav finally got fed up of me moaning about my photos, and said if I get on ok with the trial of Photoshop Elements he'll buy me the full version... so I've been trying to figure it all out.  What do you think?  Do you think my photos look better... or are they worse?!

I've made this one for Less is More, where Chrissie and Jen would like to see cats or dogs this week - hope this is LIM enough :o)

(Sort of) CAS Christening card!

Hello everyone :o)

My auntie (the one who's just a few years older than me) orders a lot of my cards, and as I've mentioned before she prefers them very CAS... this week she asked for a Christening card and I just couldn't think of anything CAS without being overly religious (knowing she wouldn't want it to be).

After googling and looking on Pinterest, I still hadn't found anything that inspired me, so this is what I ended up with - not quite as CAS as I was aiming for but ok hopefully!

Sweet Stampin' - doodles

Happy Saturday everyone :o)

I'm here with my DT card for Sweet Stampin', where our challenge is 'doodles'... Now, I don't doodle, I can't doodle, so I struggled with this one!  I tried all different doodles but they all looked like I'd let Dex loose on my card (perhaps I should have done!), so I resorted to adding some dots... still looks very messy to me!  We're sponsored by Crafter's Companion, Sir Stampalot, and our regular monthly sponsor is The Ribbon Girl, so lots of chances to win.

Here's my card...

Less is More - coloured card blank

Hello everyone :o)

I have another DigiStamp Boutique card today, this time for the 'coloured card blank' challenge at Less is More... it's also one-layer week and I'm not great at those!...

Like my card yesterday, I opened up a solid digi paper in PagePlus, layered the image on and then added the sentiment underneath (changing the text to white before printing).  Then I sanded the colour off around the edges to leave a distressed white border.  It's dark blue, not black, in case it looks like I'm cheating for the challenge lol.

Items Used

White linen cardstock - Papermill Direct

Digi stamp & sentiment - Tie Set - DigiStamp Boutique

Solid digi paper - Pink Petticoat

Colouring - copics & prisma pencils

Bram's home from the vets looking very bald and sorry for himself, poor love!  He had two abscesses that both needed draining, and he's now got big holes that need bathing to keep them open... I'm not even thinking about the bill, it's too scary... sob!

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)
