live simply, love much

Stamps: Polka Dots II, Little Bitty Bird (PTI)
Ink: Lady Bug (Memento); Aegean Blue (VersaMagic)
Other: Modern Lanscape die (Memory Box); tiny heart punch
I've been dithering over this die for a while now, but seeing Donna's FAB winning entry on CASology this week just pushed me over the edge.  This is a blatant case of her card, but I love it so much, I don't care!
 
The sentiment just jumped out at me & begged to be paired with the simple landscape.

Next day edit: I have just realised that this could also have been inspired by my blog header, qualifying for CAS-ual Fridays this week.  The aqua & white colour scheme, the simple tree-line is the same modern style as my main header font & the sentiment placed similarly to my 'housework' note.  This must have been subliminal!  Am tempted to add in some red to my header now...

  18. Your cards are really gorgeous - I love the embellishments and colours you have used for this particular one. I have a competition on my blog to celebrate World Card-Making Day (06/10) which is being sponsored by new craft magazine Make & Craft. It would be lovely if you could enter one of your cards.
