I am getting quite into One Layer Cards. It is a total change in direction for me. But something about the more streamlined look appeals to me occasionally. This one is for Cas-ual Friday CFC62 - use a black card base.
A busy day today for us today. Jacob has been coughing quite a bit in the night, a very dry cough. He is absolutely fine in himself though, I blame being out in the rain all evening on Saturday watching a horse show! I took both boys shopping this morning which tired us all out. We needed to do various other jobs too for a secret project I have on the go... more details on Sunday/Monday. It is NOT FUN lugging Leo in his car seat anymore. He is TOO BIG. :D
Forgot to mention the HUMILIATION I suffered yesterday. Mad Bexx decided that Step class was a good idea. Blinking heck, it was bad. I have no spatial awareness, no coordination, cannot process instructions aurally and occasionally have to really think about which is my left and my right. So you can imagine how well I got on at Step. I eventually decided that "Just Keep Moving" would be my motto. I didn't fall off the step which I think is the only good thing that can be said about it. Not sure I will be returning to that one. I would imagine the instructor's heart would sink if I darkened her door again!
This is so pretty! It reminds me of the blacklight posters back in the 60's. What a great technique!
ReplyDeleteLove the happy colours on the black base!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a winner to me:). Love the colorful garden against the black bg and the fun font of the sentiment is perfect! P.S. Don't give up on the step class! The first day I took a Zumba class the instructor said there are no mistakes in Zumba, only solos:).
ReplyDeleteHahaha - I had to laugh at your Step experience! That would totally be me, too!! This girl has no rhythm whatsoever!! Love, love, love the fun and happy colors against that black background - gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the lovely comments - both on the card, and encouraging me to try Step again. I will try once more and see if I do any better. May have to drag a friend for moral support this time!

ReplyDeleteP.S. Does your son have allergies? I was having the same problem, and the doctor said it was allergies. :) He was right. I thought allergies always meant a runny nose and/or sneezing, but a dry cough can be caused by allergies too.
