Celebrate

Thanks for dropping in, I've been busy getting the washing done since I got home from work as hubby is going away for work for a couple of weeks, but I had to stop long enough to make my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - hopefully there is enough white. I have matted  card on white background for the scan. The card stands up as I have used a black piece the same as the front folded in half and glued to the back of the card as a stand.

Less is More - Week 69 - Recipe

NOT A SQUARE

Nor a rectangle for that matter!

What we are really trying to say, is that we want a shaped card.

A busy weekend, last night we had tea with a group of friends - at Fran & Kim's - they cooked woodfired pizzas in a woodfire pizza oven that Kim had made in the backyard - they were very yummy  - especially the dessert pizza made of cherry ripes and marinated strawberries - 10/10. Today we drove down to Port Elliott to see John's parents who are leaving for Queensland for three months later this week, called into some friends for a planning session - hubby John and 7 others are going to cross the Simpson Dessert in July, then home just in time for my parents to arrive for dinner - luckily we had put the crockpot on before we left home. I had time to check my computer and found that Sandy and I had made Top Picks for last weeks Come and Get it Challenge so that made my day.

However tonight's card is for this weeks Annabelle Stamps Blog Challenge - Sketch

A very wintery day, it has barely stopped raining since last night and our paper was unreadable this morning - the water had seeped into the plastic and it was absolutely soaked. Only two girls braved the weather to come to craft today, but the heater was on and we chatted and crafted. I made a card for this weeks Come and Get it Challenge and completed three from Shirley's Tuesday class from last week.

It's a Boy

I don't often get to enter two entries to a Challenge, but seeing I had the cuttlebug out I thought I'd make a card for a baby boy too, for this weeks

Welcome Alannah Hope

We had a great mystery weekend, we stayed at a place called 6 Gates at Lyndoch - Opposite Chateau Barossa. There were 16 of us spread out into the 2 accommodation areas - we stayed in The Loft - very sumptuous! Last night we had a black tie dinner and a wine tasting before dinner at the Chateau and today we lunched at a winery in the Adelaide Hills called Yangorra, wood fired pizzas and more wine. My friend Michelle who came down from Queensland for the weekend became a Nana for the first time to Alannah Hope so I was pleased to see this weeks challenge for Less is More was for a Baby or Child:

Second post for today, I was on a roll in craft so apart from chatting and afternoon tea I was able to get a second card made. We are off for a mystery weekend tomorrow so I thought I'd get both challenges entered today. I have to get my hair done in the morning, then we are off to who knows where - we are having a black tie dinner on Saturday night so we have to dress up! Friends from Queensland are coming down for it as well and they are staying here tonight so it will be great to catch up with them.

This card is my entry into this weeks Less is More Challenge

ONE LAYER CARD

This time we have the stipulation to use 

THREE STAMPS

Not four, not two, but ..... three!

Thinking of You

Lovely mild day here in Adelaide, I went up to the supermarket this morning for a couple of things and the dress shop next door had a big sale so I came home with 4 tops and 2 necklaces as well as the bread and milk! I had a productive afternoon this afternoon making 2 cards for challenges and as I am away for the weekend I will post them both today - it's either a  feast or a famine with me lately!
