About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

Less Is More

Final one folks. Once I get my head round the Less is More Challenge I find the card comes fairly easily. Its the planning and thinking of an idea that takes the time.

This time the challenge was 'one layer and off the edge'. I've used a Stampendous leaf and masked it to get the layered effect. I've used Adirondack inks in cranberry, butterscotch, and ginger. The sentiment is stamped in versafine vintage sepia.

I'm entering it into the following challenges:-

Less Is More - one layer, off the edge

One Stop #122 - clean and simple

Paper Sundaes #60 - keep it simple
