No more Wedding Invites ...... !!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone,

How's your week going?  I have a new follower I see. Welcome Samantha, it's nice to have you along.

"What's this" I hear you all saying - Less is More, before Friday,  two weeks in a row!  You're probably thinking I've nothing else to do - I Wish!!

I'm STILL doing these !??! wedding invites.  I can see light at the end of the tunnel though - thank goodness.
I said it last time I did them for someone - "I'm not doing that again".  Well, I mean it this time.  As much as I love my cardmaking, doing the same thing over, and over, and over again is just not fun.  And, when your printer decides half way through printing, that it just doesn't like the cardstock anymore, what's a girl to do!?  I'll tell you shall I - a lot of shouting, and stamping of feet (did nothing for my blood pressure I can tell you). The printer got called a few names, not very nice ones either.
However, a trip to the local computer store, an hour or so spent with a very helpful young man finding me a new printer, and a wonderful hubby who paid for the new printer, managed to sort out the problem.
It's all up and running, and all remaining invites are printed (yeah!).  They just need putting together now.

After all the messing about over the last couple of days, I thought I deserved a break,  to do something different.  Here's the result ......

It's Week 106 over at Less is More and it's the dreaded One Layer Card (OLC) Challenge, and this week's theme is .....

MUSIC

Our design has to be one layer only, have some sort of reference to music in there, and of course the all important 'White Space'.  I think I've managed it.

For my card this week I used the Penny Black stamp 'Ode to Joy' (1657K).  Hubby is a keyboard player so I had to have this one in my collection.  The sentiment is from Butterfly Kisses, another of my well-used stamps.

The little mice have been coloured using watercolour pencils - couldn't use my copics this week with it being one layer, they might have shown through.  I haven't used pencils for a while, it made a nice change.

soooo cute!

I also made time today to finish Stephen's card for tomorrow (Valentine's).  I went with the idea of using my twinchie, what do you think?  Stephen look away now, unless it is Valentine's Day when you're reading this, in which case you've already seen it, so it's fine

The inky strip was done with a bit of masking and some Barn Door Distress Ink, and my new Tim Holtz 'Simple Sayings' stamps have had their first outing today.  I'm loving this new set, there's words on there for every occasion.  It's going to be one of those sets that I go to time and time again - well worth the money.

I even did the inside too .....

awww ........

Well, it's back to the invites tomorrow, and I have to find time to play (oops ..... I mean work with) Sam Poole's latest set of stamps - Art Houses.  They're not available on the website yet, but you can get a sneaky peek at them on Sam's Blog.

I've also posted on the Indigo Blu DT Blog today.  It's Quick and Easy card designs using their latest stamp sets ......

a sneaky peek

Thanks for popping by today.  I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day tomorrow and enjoy the rest of your week.

Cheerio for now.

Linda
