Simply Less is More # 165

HAPPY MOTHER`S DAY!

It`s Mother`s day in the UK today so I hope you are all having a lazy ( crafting) day today. I know I am.

It`s a Lucky Dip week at Simply Less is More and the theme is ROUND & ROUND.
As soon as I saw the title of the challenge I had `The wheels of the bus` going round and round in my head all day ( and it`s still there ) so I just had to run with it,

This cute little bus is from Kaisercraft Little Toot set and I`ve coloured it quickly with Promarkers.
The dotty paper is from Pink Petticoat.
The sentiment is from Wplus9.
I`ve simply made a panel andcut a circle with a nestie circle die then placed the panel using foam pads.
I have made another card which I`ll post tomorrow but I couldn`t resist the urge to use this one lol.

My blog friend Viv asked me how I was getting on now that I have more time on my hands. Well...embarking on a mad spring clean before we go on holiday has taken quite a lot of time up. I didn`t realise how mucky the house was until I started digging it out ;) I have also started baking again. Not huge batches like I`d intended but I`ve made a couple of cakes ( lemon drizzle & fruit) and home made meat pies.I did have a catastrophe though. We were given a food mixer as a wedding present 38 years ago next month and it decided to blow up this week. I really don`t think it owes me anything though the amount of use I`ve had from it. I`ve done everything from liquidising baby food to making umpteen Christmas, birthday and just plain Victoria sponge cakes.
So all in all I`m loving every minute of being a lady of leisure although there still aren`t enough hours in the day. I really don`t know how I found the time to go to work.

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

  2. Lovely card - I had that song stuck in my head too, so my card has a bus on it as well.
