OLW35, Yellow?

High time I joined Susan over at Simplicity for the OLW35 challenge, it's been a while and I really enjoy these challenges............................................

 OLW35 Rules

1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.

2. Use the color yellow on a card. You may certainly use other colors as well, but the dominant color must be yellow. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.

My card today has just 2 stamps

background is Hero Arts, Large Blossom

Sentiment is SU Sincere Salutations
Brilliance Archival, brilliant yellow ink, not a good colour with my new background!

It's really late I've a busy day tomorrow, sleep well people:0)

Sorry to keep messing with my background I can't get it just right but I'm nearly there :0) I get bored with it being the same for too long I'm afraid.


Have a great day everyone!

Masculine, here I come.....again:0)

Lets face it everyone, I really struggle when it comes to cards for men, I've said it before and guess I'll be mentioning it again before the year's out. So I've gone headlong into black, it's supposed to be quite masculine, isn't it?

This is for my son's birthday and I think I quite like it. The black shiny material was a padded bag that I got in the post and loved the texture and gloss, since I photographed it I have run around the shape with black pen  as the edge was a little ragged. Random stamping on the background is truly random because I feel sometimes it can look contrived with a large stamp like this one. No embellishments, no fuss, I'll let you know how it goes down:0)

Edited;

Yes! he said he liked it, success!

The stamp is Stampin up Engraved Greetings, stamped onto Papermania recycled card.

Embossed and cut out using a Spellbinders Label Die number 4

Just noticed it's snowing ATM, nooooo mad, mad, mad, go away white stuff. 
Have a lovely day everyone :0) xxx

Last Christmas card of 2010

Hi there just wanted to share my last minute make from Christmas Eve

This Christmas was strange for me, waking up with no one else to worry about except us, hubby and me. We met up with the rest of the family but the morning was a bit of a challenge. I should add here it was a lovely Christmas made even better because I didn't have to cook, YaY!! 

Anyway I am usually pretty organised when it comes to present buying and decorations putting up but not this year. I've never been so laid back about it all, hence my last minute card............. The inspiration came when I visited Mina's blog 
 A very inspiring lady, pop over if you haven't already, wondrous crafting to see:0)
