Mum's birthday

A bit fussier than my usual style, but my Mum will love it! It is a horrid day here today, 95 km per hour winds, tiles falling off the roof, wheelie bin blown 100mt in the orchard!

LIM week 66 yellow

This week at Less is More This week we are back to a colour challenge and the chosen colour this time is

Y E L L O W

Other colours may be in evidence as long as the main focus colour is yellow.

Yesterday a box arrived with a Sew Easy, and some punches, 2 for stamens.I had been playing with the SU mixed bunch punch off and on all week and liked the embossed look on the flower.   I made the card from  kraft card  from my stash, so this week Chrissie and Mandi my 'white space' is kraft!

It has been abusy week here, Ella had her first 'toiletage'... I nearly cried when I saw how short her hair is now .  She absolutly hates being brushed but her long hair really needed to be shorter for the summer. at least now I can brush her without a fight, hopefully by the time it all grows back for the winter she will be more co-operative!  She likes to dig and roll and it was a nightmare keeping her hair from getting all matted up. 

Before..

So much hair going..

Ella is unimpressed with her first bath....

After blowdrying..

After.. I wonder what Toby thinks of my new hair do???? 

First card of 2012!

As usual I am uploading to Less is moore # 47 at the 11th hour even though this challenge has run for 2 weeks...Well I always did my homework on the bus :-)
  This week Chrissie and Mandi want us to make a card with:

JUST ONE WORD

( the sentiment must consist of simply one word)

I have had a lovely time in between house training the puppy in 60km wind/gales/driving rain, getting her first lots of vaccinations , chipping and  passport at the new vets and spending half a day at the eye hospital , playing with lots of lovely Stampin Up goodies I forced asked my family to get me for christmas!  I even got the free Paisley print papers and stamp set as it was my turn to 'hostess' for the lovely Alison's super 6. The downside of all the new stash is that I have had to tidy up the Messy Desk and its room... 2 bin bags so far!

Ella the puppy

I used the colours from Pals paper arts #126 Baja Breeze, Not quite Navy & Very Vanilla I havn't entered this challenge before.
