Finally ...... a spare 5 minutes to sit down and blog. It's coffee and cake time while I catch up with you guys - the last of the Christmas cake is about to disappear!
This week is flying by again. As well as all the usual stuff, there was a birthday on Monday - all sorted. Chris went back to Uni on Tuesday, so that meant an expensive shopping trip on Monday afternoon. I have another birthday on Friday (Lauren's this time) and I haven't even started the cards yet! And then hubby has organised another poker night round at ours this evening ....... cards all day and cards in the evening! Better get some tidying up done though, I've still got stuff everywhere.
I've been so busy the last couple of days that I forgot my little old Blog's birthday (shame on me!). Yes, Life in the Craft Lane was 2 yesterday ...... Happy Birthday Blog!
It still amazes me that so many of you enjoy reading my crafty ramblings, and other stuff. I really do appreciate you all taking the time to visit and leave such lovely comments.
I've squeezed in a little Blog Challenge entry again for this week's Less is More challenge.
It's everyone's favourite this week ..... ONE LAYER CARDS (eekk!!) and the theme is .....
Hearts
Here's my take on the challenge ......
I haven't done cute for a while, and this little stamp caught my eye (Lauren's already claimed the card to send as her Valentine's)
Both the image and the sentiment are from a Penny Black 'T' for Transparent set called Piece of My Heart which I've had for ages. I've just stamped them using Black Versafine ink then coloured the hearts with Barn Door Distress ink and a waterbrush.
I'm definitley in a 'touch of red' phase I think, which all started at the weekend when I made my ATC's for the next swap over on Julie's Blog .........
Oh well, I suppose the coffee break is over. I really should be back in the old craft room making those birthday cards for Friday ........ I'll be in BIG trouble if they're not there first thing.
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
See you again soon
Linda
