We had a lovely time yesterday when our friends came round. Sat in the garden and had a lovely BBQ. Today we are going to see Dave's grandchildren Emma and Max in a school play and then they are all coming over here. I bought a water slide for the garden so they are going to play on that and then have a BBQ - make hay whilst the sun shines I say!!
Today sees the start of a brand new challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge and the theme this week is Clean and Simple. Now I have really struggled with my mojo and card making since I got back from my holiday. I am usually a month ahead with my DT cards but at the moment it is really a case of making them when they are due!! I really hate to be like this so I'm hoping it soon passes and I can get ahead again. So I have to admit this card was so simple to make and I feel a bit like I have cheated!
Apologies for the rubbish picture I seem to have a big shadow on it!! As I said this card was so easy to make. I used a pre-coloured image Extreme from The Paper Shelter here. When you purchase an image from The Paper Shelter you get a plain one to colour in in JPEG and PNG, a pre-coloured one in JPEG and PNG, a background paper and a background paper with the coloured image on it - a brilliant buy! I opened my image in Word and then added the sentiment and the frame, changed the colour of the frame to match the image and printed out on White Linen cardstock! I do feel I have cheated a bit but I think it does show the versatility of the images and we are all pushed for time sometimes!
I hope you have a wonderful day whatever you do! Thank you so much for calling and take care xx
Why feel like you've cheated the theme is CAS and that is just what you have done and done beautifully by my reckoning gorgeous image and like you say we all get short of time at some point and the provide you with a coloured image so why not use it

Great card Susan - and you're right about how good these images are to use in a hurry - I never apologise for using pre-coloured images (although I DO love colouring - there's always room to make some quick cards using other peoples colouring skills!!!)
