Numbers for LIM

Good morning to you, Chrissie and Jen over at Less is More have suggested we use numbers on a one layer card, good idea :D Here is my card


 I stamped the Eiffel Tower and masked it off then I stamped the postmark and added the sponged stencil '&' over the top of them finally adding the word love! Great fun, I was a woman on a mission, I can feel another little number coming on  LOL
Have fun my friends, thanks for stopping by, Gay xx

I used Tim Holtz stamps, French Marketplace, Tiny Things and a LOVE sentiment from Printworks and a giant '&' mask/ stencil from Crafters Workshop 'Mini and So On'.

Dessert... my favourite part! :D

Hello there my crafty friends, Today I made a quick card for the CASology challenge where the code word is
 Dessert is my middle name :D My good friends and I have been known to go out for the evening and have a salad followed by four desserts for the three of us! Believe me I know about desserts LOL
The sentiment was from a set that I bought many years ago all about fun, I modified it, ( cut off the word fun) for this card, don't remember where it came from but the whole set is all about FUN!  The dishes have all been embellished with Diamond Glaze and I added Stickles glitter glue. Some washi tape to hold it all together and I was done! Lovely to see you, hugs Gay x

I made a tag!

Hello there, Lovely to see you here :D
I made a tag and a very elaborate tag, for me, I do hope you like it! Not for a challenge, not for anyone but little old me! It was good fun in the making


I used;
Tim Holtz Ranger big tags
Kaiserkraft  Dictionary meanings stamp and Miss Empire Frames
PaperArtsy MN74 mini stamp
IndigoBlu  Vintage Flourish a Dinkie stamp
Stampendous Frantage Shabby White embossing enamel
 Mostly all the goodies were from the Craft Barn
Except  the beautiful Lace from my good friend Gio!! Thanks Gio!!!

We're still clearing out the loft, Oh my goodness so much stuff!!!
Look at this box, it's from the previous owner of our house! A Derry and Toms Art Deco design label and stamps from the delivery, in 1937. I wonder what was in that box? We found more interesting boxes, one from DH Evans ( 1939 ) and another tin that held Romary's cocktail biscuits from Royal Tunbridge Wells. Imagine that, cocktail biscuits :D We don't even have cocktails, well not at home anyway LOL!!
What a mucky job and boxes and more boxes to sort but no treasure, a nice little Rembrandt or Picasso would have been very welcome LOL
Back to my sorting,  see you soon, hugs Gay x
