I'm late! (WOYWW)

I can't believe how late I am for WOYWW!  I usually manage to get my post sorted out the day before but that just wasn't going to happen so here I am late to the party, but at least I have managed to do some crafting this week.  This is my desk as it was yesterday evening just after finishing a birthday card for my sister in law. The flash has bleached things somewhat, but you can just about make out the finished card (see below for close up), some spare paper and scrap card, my empty mug of tea, various ink pads, ruler, pencil, the acrylic paints that have been sat there for several weeks and my boxes of cuttlebug embossing folders.

This is the finished birthday card which was made by CASing Chrissie's card as part of the Less is More challenge this week. I think it is obvious what I used for the inspiration (pretty much everything with a slightly different layout!!).

I have completed another couple of pages of my smash book.  For this one I used die cut ovals to represent Easter Eggs for Easter day with images of everyone who was there on the day, trying to capture the essence of the day so I am entering this into Stampavie's 'lots of die cuts' challenge. For this page I took the white background with squares and used distress inks to colour it...pale green was used for the main background with some swirl stamps (not sure how well they show up) and water droplets for interest. I then used a darker green round the edge and stamped the leaf type flourishes in this. As a contrast I used bright coloured stickers for the lettering.  I am therefore entering this into SSSS 'colour' challenge and Tuesday Throwdown 'make your own background'

For the Easter monday page I used green hexagons on a green background, with green stamping and so am entering this into CCC 'monochromatic' challenge (the only other colours came from the images and the ticket so I hope it counts) and SSS 'anything goes'.  That is all from me for now.  Have a wonderful week everyone.
Love,
Caro
