And what a lovely afternoon it is too. We have blue skies and the sun is shining again in the Isle of Man. It hasn't been like this all day though, it did get off to a wet start and it still wasn't very nice at lunchtime when I had to go to the Post Office.
I've popped another parcel in the post today for Kay at Indigo Blu. I can't show you what's in there yet, I want Kay to see them first. All I can say is ...... they're not cards???!! Hopefully she'll have them tomorrow and then I can share them on here.
I can see that I have a couple of new followers today. Hello and welcome to my little space in Blogland. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do blogging it!
This afternoon has been quite productive, I've made a start on a few of the things that have been on the list for a couple of weeks, and I've also managed to squeeze in my Less is More Challenge entry.
It's One Layer Week (oh no!) Usual rules to follow along with the subject for this challenge ....
FUR or FEATHERS
Hmmm ..... what to go for. I decided on FUR and I think this is the quickest card I've ever made.

| Aloysius by Indigo Blu |
All I've done is stamp him in Sepia Versafine ink, added a Penny Black sentiment and then lightly dabbed some Distress Inks around the image - Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass. Job done!
He reminds me so much of my teddy that I had when I was little, except mine didn't have ears! Mum used to hang him on the washing line with them until eventually they came off. I still loved him though.
That was all a LONNNNG time ago. This is who sits on the bed during the day now .....

| look at that face ....... |
Well, I've a busy week ahead, lots to do and not enough time to do it in. Nothing changes there then, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It keeps me out of mischief!!
Thank you so much for popping by. I hope the sun is shining where you are.
See you again soon

Super post Linda, those teddies are certainly very special to us:0) Your card's great, I love Aloysious and don't mind how often I meet him, great job, Gay xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I am glad you used Aloysious, he is my all time fav bear, everyone in the family has had one now so he is languishing in a drawer. Love your cuddly bear too. Oh yes, I ordered the swirly Christmas tree after seeing your lush card. Crafty hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments Anne. So glad you got the swirly Christmas tree, it is beautiful. You'll love it. xx

Hi Linda, saw your card on LIM as I entered mine. Its lovely, and I agree, it takes ages to choose the 'right' stamp!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the new creations.
