Hello from a very tired mustavcoffee,
I'm a very happy bunny today:0) not only did I get to the NEC yesterday (that's why I'm tired, it's a long old drive from here) but I won a new watermark, YAY I'm really lucky!
BUT first I would like to share my card for Less is more
The technique of leaving some of the image out of the oval I encountered at Mina's blog and would like to give her a shout out, she's such an inspiration, Thanks Mina :0) x
This week is a sketch and here it is!
At the NEC yesterday I found Graphic 45 stamps (this link takes you to an American online shop, the only one I found that has them ATM ), the first time I've ever seen them anywhere and I just couldn't resist although it was the end of the day and I'd reached my spending limit (that happened quite quickly actually!) I just couldn't walk away from these little beauties:0) I wonder if you're going to love them as much as me? I need the whole 3 sets now LOL.Anyway on to my new watermark................ I have been following Emily's recent collaboration with Lisa highlighting Unity Stamps and I was lucky enough to win one of Lisa's clever creations and guess what? it's a coffee cup ring stain, YAY! So perfect for me!
p.s the links will take you to the websites
That's it for today, pop over if you have time to check out the Less is More Challenge it's all good fun and Chrissy, Mandi and all the lovely participants will make you very welcome. :0) xxx

This is a real WOWZER card, those images are incredible definitely a good buy, even though perhaps one to many :) and I think you have coloured them like a professional, absolutly gorgeous, makes me think perhaps I should become a stamper, nah! couldn't do it anything like this.
Oh! yes, thank for the lovely comment on my blog.
This blogger is driving me nuts today. i cannot upload my own photos and I am having trouble viewing others. I had to change browsers to find your picture. Well worth it though. A splendid, colourful card.
Got you on my sidebar, so it is now easy to find you!
I love Graphic 45 paper, which I use quite a bit.
Your character could do with being a bit 'less' couldn't he?
You have done the sketch proud.
Put your feet up and have a huge mug of steaming coffee
