No card tonight, but I thought I would share this with you. Today the weather here has been wet, a little sun and very torrential showers. On my way back from my daughters this evening we had a thunder storm and hailstones. The picture below is my front door ... can you believe it is June! the temperature is only about 9 degrees, so chilly to say the least.

This photo was taken about 7 o'clock and it is now 9.30 and it still hasn't melted.

I hope tomorrow is better and that I get time to make a card.

Less is More

It's been a busy week so far. I had my dad at the hospital today for a check up and it is good news. His tumour has reduced considerably with the radiotherapy. We are all delighted at this.

I have made a very quick card for Less is More challenge which is monochrome this week. I didn't think I would have time but it is amazing what can be done when you put your mind to it.

I have used a free PM dots embossing folder with Creativity mag, Sizzlits hearts and Fiskars tiny hearts from border punch. The butterfly is X-Cut punch and the gem is a little nail art gem from the pound shop.
