Thank You Pillow Boxes

It's only a week until school breaks up and not wanting to do the usual last minute dash to the shops for a thank you gift for the teachers I have made some thank you pillow boxes to fill with sweeties. It's the first year Sam has been at pre school, and he has a lot of teachers, so I thought these would be a perfect little gesture for them all.

Hope you like them! They were quite straight forward to make, but drop me a line if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for stopping by.

Less is More Challenge

Well the end of my holiday did not turn out as expected as both my boy's decided once again to be poorly on the same night with different things, resulting in one in hospital for the best part of 2 days and the other laid on the sofa, leaving me and Gary to do shifts with each! Thankfully they are both on the mend, but I am back to work tomrrow and need another holiday already!

Having an hour actually to myself this evening I thought I would take part in this weeks Less is More   challenge, the inspiration this week is the Less is more logo

Here is what I came up with

For those of you who have not visited the Less is More blog, the general idea is to leave a large area of white space and to keep embelishments etc to a minimum (quite difficult actually). Hope you like it.

Heres hoping for a boring week when the most exciting thing that happens is lots of card making!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

2 Challenges!

Today I have used a couple of the online challenge sites for inspiration. I loved this colour challenge

from The Play Date Cafe, unfortunately it's last weeks one, so I have missed the deadline to enter, but here is what I came up with:

Stamps used: Triple Treat Flower, Posy Punch (hostess set)
Colours Used: Rich Razleberry, Island Indigo, Perfect Plum.
I really enjoyed this colour combo as you can see! I thought I would then move onto the ColourQ challenge this week and I wish I could say I was as enthusiastic about this combination of colours.

It certainly took me out of my comfort zone, which I guess is the whole point. This is what I came up with:

Stamps used: Everything Eleanor, Curly Cute, Springtime Stems.
Not loving it, but I will enter it anyway!
Thanks for stopping by
