Happy Birthday 2 U!
A one layer card for Less is More using numbers is the challenge this week. I've used a retired stamp set - Party This Way - for the Happy Birthday. This set has balloons with numbers on them which I've used loads of times before but decided I'd just go with the funky sentiment. I stamped stars from Simply Stars but stamped off first. I then added the 2 U from Outline Alphabet & Numbers and coloured in with Stampin' Write Marker Peach Parfait. Then it was time to have fun with the rest of the numbers. Did you spot the deliberate mistake (not)! I accidentally stamped the 4 in Tangerine Tango so did some more to make a feature of it. I've now got an aged 4 card! Hee Hee.
You'll see I've been mixing old sets with new. It's fun to receive new sets but also not to neglect your old.
I'm pleased to say that I will have a new Virtual Hostess Club starting in October. I'd love to help you to build up your stash of new goodies. It's a super way to spread out your wish list and I can help give you some inspiration for your old sets too! Have a look at the Virtual Hostess Page to see the details of the club or drop me an e mail - ails300@btinternet.com.
We've had a great day today. I'm loving this weather. Here's an up to date pic of Jess at the park.
She was a great hit receiving loads of attention.
Speak to you next time. x

I'm not surprised Jess got a lot of attention! She's lovely! Great card. I came up with an idea for this challenge (in a dream, no less) but then realised upon waking that it isn't one-layer. Ah well, I still intend to make it anyway!
Wonderful number card Aileen, always thinking outside the box when you're crafting that's the way to do it :D
Jess looks gorgeous, so shiny and healthy what a lovely little lady, have fun my friend, Gay x
I agree, Aileen. You've done a fab card mixing the old with the new! Love the great photo of Jess, too! I can see why she would be a big hit; she's smoochable!!
