Good morning bloggers and welcome to my little bit of crafty madness.
Had a busy day yesterday as Al was moving sheep back and forward all day, helping his pal Joe. As I mentioned yesterday, some of the sheep in the field next to us started to lamb earlier than predicted. George, the farmer, thinks it was a young ram lamb that got a bit too frisky before it went to market but I'm not sure. Anyway, they decided to move these ewes back to the farm and bring the recently lambed ewes down here. Much tooing and frowing ensued. It is good to see the little lambs frolicking in the sun.
Now to all things crafty. As I was stuck indoors again with the dog, he loves the lambs but mothers get territorial, I had time to play. I was so pleased and suprised to be showCASed at Less is More this week, I thought I would have another go at their latest challenge - Metal. Rather tricky this one I feel. I sat and thought and decided it had to be brads or a charm as I don't have anything else metal in my stash but how to use them/it. I was surfing on Friday and found the Love Rubberstamps challenge - Funny Sentiment, so I thought I would merge the two. Here goes:-
This is a DoCrafts stamp from the Born to Shop series. I've had them for a while, they were free when I subscribed to a magazine a couple of years ago, and hadn't used them to date. The cake on the left is actually a brad from the stash. I was quite pleased how it worked out in the end. The image is a little small and is therefore tricky to colour and get the detail right but I used Copics as usual.
I shall enter it in the following challenges:-
Less is More - Metal
Loves Rubberstamps Challenge - Funny Sentiment
Allsorts - Ladies Day
Sweet Stampin Challenge - Humour
Thanks for stopping by.
Don't forget you have up until Monday at 5pm(GMT) to enter the CAS challenge at Cardz4Guyz.

It's me again...
DeleteOh yes Julie, I have somewhat the same problem ....all my unframed watercolors, are stored in a large folder and the framed in a cabinet. I set only 3 or 4 in the house.
Now, I make cards, they take less place, I can offer much more easily and I love this!! :)
Great fun card!
