My ScrapJazz NSBD prize has arrived from the US - so exciting. Thank you Mary for saving me SJ shipping by repackaging it and sending it by regular post for me. And thank you even more for including extra goodies in the parcel! What a wonderful thing to do. If you're reading this, let me have your Skype details so you can tell me what to do with those springy things? Haha.
Last week we had friends staying with us, and now they have gone off to see Uluru, Alice Springs, and Adelaide on the Ghan before stopping off for a final couple of days with us, then heading back to the UK. We had a lovely week, really packing in the sight-seeing and tourist stuff - I think they're looking forward to a rest now. I'm having a laundry and crafty day, and loving it.
I started this little card last night, but the light was... well, rented house kinda electric light, so it had to wait until daylight to be finished. The Less Is More ladies have challenged us to a one-layered card with a frame around the stamp. I know we're supposed to use minimal embellishments, so I hope the frame made of gems isn't over-doing it. It looks pretty minimal to me. I used the gems because House Mouse and Friends want jewels for their challenge, and Creative Card Crew's subject is "wings".

OMG, how adorable. Love your coloring of this stamp. The simplicity of your card with the jeweled square is brilliant! Thanks for sharing your card with us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. So darn cute!!

I LOVE IT! So cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
Oh you do make me laugh - got visions of you sniffing paper pads now (mind you, I do that in book shops when no one is looking, nothing like a crisp new book to have a smell of). Gorgeous card hun, love the HM stamp and the gem frame is, I think, perfect - reminds me of those big dressing room mirrors that filmstars use. Brilliant. Hugs, slightly damp UK Squirrel (yes, we have rain at last!) xx
Just fabulous!
The gems are just fine... we do allow minimal embellies!
Super colouring too!
Thanks so much
