Less is More " Button or Ribbon " ( or plural thereof )

I have been a bit of a slacker in the crafty department this week or so it may seem, but it has in fact been just the opposite ! Right here come the excuses , firstly big birthday week Stavroula was on Wednesday, I was on Thursday and my oldest `Greek friend ( I don't mean in years ) was on Friday which meant lot's of cards and gift making this week ( I always leave everything until the last minute ! ) This accompanied with lunches and evenings out,  champagne drinking and a lot of excess in the food department have kept me away from you all ! ( what do you mean you didn't know I was gone ! ) Husband took me out to get a couple of " rig outs " and to wine and dine me so I have been finding it difficult to get back into my craft room plus it's over 30 degrees here and the outside world has been beckoning !

I also had great news this week when I learnt that  I had been appointed DT member for Sassylilsketches who not only have a great challenge blog for scrapbookers and card makers but a fabulous forum for all things crafty and creative, so another reason to celebrate.

What am I leading up to well, I feel like a bit of a cheat I only made two cards for Less is More this week who's theme is  " Button or Ribbon " ( or plural thereof ) I usually make a few but hubby has been lurking around my craft room door all morning and has been enticing me by quoting dishes from my favourite seafood restaurant and reciting the wine list to me so........sorry Mandi and Chrissie but I am weak and have given in to temptation and taken up his offer of lunch by the sea.

So here are my two very simple cards even by Less is More standards.

 

 

See what `i mean soooooo simple ! ( still took me ages though )

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their birthday wishes and lovely cards two of which I would like to share with you

This beautiful card is by one of my team mates Channa from Get Creative and am sure you will agree it is very pretty indeed, thanks Channa !

 

This stunner is from Sarah Liz ( and her nine little kitties ) who was one of the first people who I met when I started my craftyness by up loading my work to the Docraft site. Thank you Sarah Liz I will treasure this.

I was so touched by everyone's wishes and poems you are all so special!

Right that's enough of me being soppy I am supposed to be the whinger !

Will be around to see you all later but first a little siesta after my lovely seafood lunch and goodness knows I need all the sleep I can get as there are a lot of entries and fab ones too again this week at `Less is More . You lot certainly are a busy creative bunch !

See ya !
