All Quiet on the Blogging Front

Did you miss me?  I bet you thought you'd gone deaf not hearing from me for so long!  It's been a topsy turvy couple of weeks as I've been helping out with lots of different things leaving me very little energy and time at the end of the day to indulge in some crafting.  Hopefully things will be settling back to a degree of normality now...

I have heaps of new goodies to share with you now that the new Summer Mini Catalogue has launched.... oh so many beautiful stamp sets, scented embossing powder (yes, really!), baker's twine in the in-colours, framelits wafer thin dies, edging dies and embossing folders...... as well as a fantastic offer if you fancy joining Stampin' Up! yourself.  Far too much for one blog post so I hope you will pop back soon to learn more!

To business: it's mellow yellow week at Less is More... gosh it's a hard colour to use as the predominant colour of a card!  But it's so cheerful too that it was good fun to work with.  There are some fantastic submissions this week (as always!) so do pop over and have a look for some incredible inspiration.  Not only that but it's a birthday celebration at CAS-ual Fridays too with oodles of stunning entries to nosey at!

Here is my card:

The stamp is one of the gorgeous new sets called 'Apothecary Art', which coordinates perfectly with the Framelits wafer thin nesting dies.  I stamped in Soft Suede, before colouring in the flowers with So Saffron, a touch of Daffodil Delight and More Mustard.  The greeting was added in More Mustard using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.  All that was left to do was add the gorgeous little Embosslits butterflies: I made one layer from More Mustard card and another from paper vellum, adhering pearls down the centres.

We had a very busy weekend as we'd lined up lots of things we wanted to achieve. One of those was climbing Ingleborough Fell as you can see it from our house... and I have a thing about climbing hills I can see from our windows.  It was absolutely glorious weather, we made good time and visibility was superb from the top.  It really was a fantastic walk!  We're umming and ahing now about walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks this year.

Hope you had a good May Day weekend too!
