Well Mandi and Chrissie have excelled themselves today with this weeks Less is More challenge. Not only is it a one layer card but they want us to add some DOODLING. This could be faux stitching, hand written or drawn elements on your card.
Argghh, that`s worse than acetate.
On the odd occasion that I do doodle, mine look like scribble. I can`t draw to save my life and my handwriting is atrocious.My fingers simply won`t do what my brain tells them to. Which is why I stamp...
I finally came up with this card...a total cop out but better than nowt.
The sentiment is computer generated.
My feeble attempt at a doodle is the little puff of smoke from the back of the car. Sorry.
Maybe I`ll have a brainwave and come up with something else later.
It was Angie`s day for her head shave today. We have over £100 in pledges from sponsors so I`m chuffed to bits with that. All the money raised is for The Candlelighters Trust. This charity supports children with cancer and their families living in Yorkshire.
There are quite a lot of pics so here goes,
Angie had biked the 5 miles from work so her hair wasn`t in the best of styles to start with hee hee.
Definitely too late now.
Angie looks like she`s impersonating a pineapple and dads really got into the swing of things
Just a bit ( a lot) of tidying to do.
Almost done.
Did you want to keep the tufts around your ears?
A quick trim with the scissors by me to finish and we`re all done.
I have a sneaky suspicion that that smile is a little forced ha ha.
Never mind love, it`ll grow back in no time.
A big shout out for my dad for being such a good sport and very good with the trimmers for a first attempt :)
Ruby is home from the hospital now. She`s absolutely fine and they`re hoping to reschedule her op for next week.
Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

Sounds like a very worthy cause brave girl! Shows she has a lovely head because even with the crop she looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteLittle puff from the exhaust perfect touch XOXO Zoe
Well I wouldn't have known you had drawn the smoke if you hadn't said Lynne, I think it looks fab.
ReplyDeleteAngie is indeed very brave, I don't think I could do that.

Thought that it was a stamp! cute card x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Lynne - your puff of smoke is fab!! I really love the ideas you come up with.

That bit of doodling makes the card and iot's a perfect shape, so no more of this I can't draw! LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad Ruby is home, hhope it won't be long for her op. VERY brave of Angie.
I love your little puff of smoke, it makes such a difference to the car image. Big congrats on the fundraising - and well done to Angie. xx
ReplyDeleteI think it's very clever of you to even think of the car stamp and doing the puff of smoke - well done, too! Thanks for the update on Ruby and the Angie's shave. He did a great job! Hope the op gets rescheduled soon and all goes well!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with the shave....nice job and it looks great. My older daughter had childhood cancer (brain Cancer). So, I know how you are feeling. My daughter was 12 yrs old at the time and is now 33 yrs old. She has some impairments from the surgeries and treatments. However, it is by far better than what the other perdictions that were presented to us. You are in my thoughts, heart and prayers....... I could not find you e-address for write you privately......May God bless you and your family.....
ReplyDeletehi lynne!! i laughed as i started reading your blog post! i don't doodle at all, either and for some of the same reasons you listed!! how funny is this??? my idea for this week's challenge is very similar to your card!! anywhoo... your card is wonderful, as always! will be praying for little ruby... hope you get the surgery rescheduled soon!
ReplyDeleteYour puff of smoke is just perfect with that cute little card! LOVE it! I'd like to get that car image...that's what my first car looked like...only in baby blue! Your doodling is spot on with this card! Getting the head shaved is rather scary...although if my hair gets much thinner, maybe I should resort to that! LOL! Hope the surgery for Ruby gets rescheduled soon and that things go super smooth for everyone...but mostly Ruby!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely cute little red car.I love the sentiment too and ofcourse that smoke puff is more than perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne, I hope this ok but I have mentioned your card on my blog (also posted a link) as I thought it was a great take on the challenge. If this is not ok let me know and I will remove it.
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well.
