Hello everyone hope you've all had a lovely Mother's Day whether you are Mums or not. Pets count too lol! I'm Mum to my two Labrador pups as well as my kids.
I'm a bit earlier this week with my card for Less is More. I love this challenge and like a lot of the others I think I'm becoming addicted to it. It certainly makes you think. It's great to get such good feedback and advice from Chrissie and Mandi. Thanks girls for taking the trouble to check out all the entries and if necessary tell us how we can improve our cards. It's also really good to see how others have tackled the challenge.
I'm not sure my card's very good this week. Is there too much red round the image? I would probably have had a smaller border but I've lost one of my nesties. I'm sure it's in the house somewhere it just isn't shouting loud enough for me to find it.
Anyway here's my effort.
I'd also like to enter the Allsorts challenge which is "Blooming Blossoms."
I think I'll go and check out the entries for Totally Gorjuss. This week we have one of Net's lovely sketches for you to follow. I hope you'll want to join us, I know it can make it easier to make a start to a card if you have a sketch to follow.
Tomorrow I have the day off as it's a local holiday. I'm really looking forward to doing what I like all day. I'm also off next Saturday and the following Monday as we're babysitting and it's nice to have a Monday to catch up. I hope the pups behave as even though Poppy and Oliver are used to their own Labrador, who can be quite rough, the pups are maybe a wee bit friendly for 2 little people lol!
Thanks for looking and please leave me a comment if you've got time and then I can pop over and visit you too.

I don't think there's too much red at all, but I do sympathise with you on the loss of a Nestie... it would drive me daft... so often I can't find stuff amongst the clutter of my craft room!
ReplyDeleteThis card is lovely and poppies are such a good choice for a Touch of Red!
Enjoy your week.

Beautiful card Kat. Love the poppy image and the red border is just perfect in my thinking! Might get one done some day but Wedding Invites are lying here still to be finished.
