Less is More " Monograms "

Summer is finally here in Greece Yipee !!! Which means that most people at the weekend head out to the beach myself included. All well and good except for the fact that I keep missing the Less is More challenges ( any chance in changing them to Thursdays Chrissie and Mandi  ? ) By the time I return I need a few days to get back in the swing of things and then its Thursday again, to late I fear to catch up and comment on all the entries which I try and do.

So for one week only I am leaving on Saturday instead of Sunday just so I can take part in this weeks Less is More challenge whose theme this week is  "Monograms " Another fabulous choice by Chrissie and Mandi  I must say their challenges are never boring  how do you do it ladies ?



I used my Silhouette machine to cut out the border and the heart and also print the `monograms and then passed the heart through my big shot.



I wasn't sure where I wanted the heart so I will let you all be the judge of where you think the best position is for it.

Right am of to pack my swimming cossie and the dogs will catch up with you all soon. Have a great weekend with lots of love , laughter and crafting.

By the way the initials stand for Teo my husband and Marie that's me !!

    I love the frame you've cut on your silhoutte - just gorgeous! I like the heart in either place, but I think the middle is just slightly better.

    I just got a silhouette and need some inspiration as to what to do - thanks
