Less is More ~ Houses

 A very good morning.....I have had a fabulous week with my son and his partner however all good things must come to an end and they left homeward bound yesterday.
What do you think of my new header? *smile...my son is also a photographer and I had my first headshot photo shoot with him on Thursday...delighted to say the least with the results...thank you Scotty 
this is the first photo ever that I love wearing my glasses.

This weeks challenge over on LESS IS MORE 

is One Layer ~ Houses

Now I have taken a slight slant on the theme this week with "The House of the Lord" I love this stamp set from Stampin Up it was my first ever set and started my obsession to be honest


 I masked a circle and used a China blue promarker in my Spritzer to get this fabulous effect...and then stamped Silent Night using memento ink on top with the mask still in place.


Well thats it form me today i have lots to catch up on...an inbox full....I will get around to answering your questions you have emailed with....I have started so please bare with me I will get around to you.

Whatever your plans today....enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by....much appreciated!
