Stampin for the Weekend starting christmas early


I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  Today has turned out to be a lovely day, a good day for gardening, but I have been inside crafting. I am excusing myself with the knowledge I have a day off from work tomorrow and can catch up outside then. 

The past few day there have been very strong winds.  The wind have been so strong it broke our back gate off it's hinge.  We have done makeshift repairs until we replace it with a new gate.  On Friday I came home to find the dog in the front garden, he had managed to get out the back gate.  Fortunately we have nice neighbours and they found him and brought him home.  Aren't people nice?

I hope to see you again tonight

Thank you for dropping in

Foliage

Hello,

I am joining in with Less is More again this week.  The challenge is one layer with foliage.
And here is my card.
 Supplies:  White card, Blockheads image, Penny Black sentiment and Distress Ink.

I enjoy the LIM challenges because I learn a lot from them and they encourages me to try new techniques.  Sometimes I chicken out.  I would have liked to put a boarder or embossing around the image but it had taken me so many attempts to reach this stage that I was worried if I tried to do either I would ruin it.  I also have a question - Can bling be used on one layer cards?

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

and the colours from Dynamic Duos.

The Crazy Challenge #127 - Anything Goes
 
It has been a super weekend.  Firstly this morning we went out for breakfast to celebrate Father's day.  I like going out for breakfast, you start the day early and have the rest of the day ahead of you and the food of course. The day was lovely and sunny so I spent it in the garden.  I am afraid I am a fine weather gardener thus there is a lot of work to do after winter.  I enjoyed my time outside in the sunshine, a lovely second day of spring.
 
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend
 
Thank you for dropping by
 
Cheers
