Week #13 @ B&B

Wow time is going so fast it'll soon be Christmas cards made so far 22 only 78 left haha.
It's a new challenge over at Bows & Berries although it's an easy challenge I found it quite hard just where do you stop! so  the challenge is CLEAN AND SIMPLE thats it really ........
Friday, September 30, 2011Challenge #13- Clean and Simple


CAS can be easier for some then others... he he...

Let's give it a try!

Found a quote explaining it just in case you are unsure at all...

"CAS

Clean And Simple

uncluttered, lots of open space, one clear focal point

You can have color, pattern, embellishments and even layers...

Your style can be graphic, fun, elegant or even vintage...

It comes down to the design...

Clean And Simple"

As usual, you don't have to use a Bows and Berries Digital Stamp, but we love to see them!!! There is always the freebie on the sidebar for you to use if you like!!


If you use the code BB25 at the shop checkout it will get you 25% off all digis!!

It's our last day of the October Freebie, so don't forget to grab the 'Frog Prince' while you can and come back tomorrow for a more festive freebie!!


Now for my card I hope you like it I have used "Elfie" I think he's so cute.

for this card I have used a diamond card, cuttlebug embossing Swiss Dots folder, image from B&B, gems from Dovecraft and both Copics for skin tones & Promarkers for main colouring.

The Sponsor for this week is:

Happy Birthday week-end to me

Hello all my blogging buddies this a very good week-end for me 1. it was my birthday on Saturday & would like to thank everyone for their thoughtful wishes & 2. We was lucky enough to have the grand children for the night woo hoo just can't wait to find out when it will happen again. I got some lovely stuff too my son bought me a hoody jumper which is very warm, Laura & Taylor bought me some lovely crafty stuff from Top Town (Kanban kit cards, Chipboard flowers, birds etc.) and Vix made me some rather yummy choccies which taste lovely and she also bought me a ticket to go see Physic Sally. My birthday tea comprised of a Maccies, walk around the boating lake (the little ones wanted us to get a boat from the Island to which they are tied up to in the middle of the lake so Nannie could have a boat ride for her birthday.) then on to meet up with Grandad who was playing Squash & missed it all. I would like to share with you a couple of lovely cards that had been made from 2 of my crafting buddies.

My non VIRTUAL card from Kate 

This is totally Gorgeous flowers glittered I have been waiting weeks to open this.

Jane's card

This is a lovely Grey & Orange card this is gorgeous too.

I would like to tank everyone for my cards & presents and all of you for coming over to visit me too.

Hello my friends Yes I'm Sorry this post is also late I have so many excuses it's best not to list them but I'm here now & that's all that counts.

So it's the last week for this challenge at Bows and Berries and the theme is Photo Inspiration

Aren't these lovely fall/ Halloween colours it doesn't matter how you interperate these colours in your project just as long as you stay to the theme, I don't really do Halloween cards as you may have guessed from previous posts so I never made one :) You don't have to use a B&B image but it would be great if you could & if you don't have on there is a freebie on the side bar, also Robin is in the process of releasing her new collection for Christmas

Aren't these dead cute I have mine why don't you go get yours

If you use the code BB25 at the shop checkout it will get you 25% off all digis!!

Robin will pick a Top 3 and one Random Prize Winner out of the entries!

So here is my little card hope you like it enough to join us, I must say when I first cut the flowers they came out like coasters so I don't think I'll buy any more just bulk buy Loo Rolls :)

I have recycled a ribbon on this card, used Nit Wit download papers (I think it's Gingerbread) Marianne Die, used "Cold Alley" from B&B but everything else is from my stash except the toilet roll flowers :), I have used both my Promarkers & Copics (for skin tones E11 & Roo) TFL
