"Less is More" Week 21

Hello
It;s another big weekend on the island as it;s the round the island yacht race today, then tonight is the procession to begin the Island Games, for a week
such excitement for our little island.
So as it;a Saturday it's the start of a new week on "Less is Moore"
Oh dear Chrissie and I thought we needed to hide behind our sofas as there was a bit of unrest in LIMette towers last week!

Still hopefully we have been forgiven and everyone will play nicely again this week lol

It's a scrummy easy peasy one this week in the form of a
SKETCH!

Hello everyone

Well at 4.30 the sun is only just getting up...lazy ikkle sun!

At least we have had a bit of much needed rain for the garden!

I made a Christening card and Im entering it into 

One Stop Craft challenge Texture 

Nothing exciting, only die cuts, but, effective I think.
I don't normally add the little bit of embossing to the church, but as it reminded me of brick I had the brainwave to add it! 

Thanks for stopping by
