FANTASTIC FOLLOWERS ~

LESS IS MORE, SOME GOOD NEWS, AND HAS ANYONE SEEN MY FOLLOWERS?

OK Mr Blogger -  what have you done with my Lovely Followers - I miss them and want them back NOW!!
*****
Update - HERE COME THE GIRLS! My Followers are back home after a 2-day holiday - I'm so happy to see them! 
Hope everyone is having a great week - I am popping by to share a couple of things with you, firstly a card for
Chrissie and Mandi's
Less is More Challenge which this week is to make a
ONE LAYER CARD with the SENTIMENT AS THE MAIN FOCUS. Mmmmm - not as easy as I first thought!!!
After seeing Chrissie's fab. tutorial on Nestie embossing, I so wanted to try it out.  Of course, my design is nowhere near as intricate as Chrissie's but I did eventually manage to achieve the embossed outline, using a Nestie Labels #4. 
The Sentiment stamp is from PSX.  I  punched out a tiny heart in the bottom corner, and added pink organza ribbon to finish.
****** 
If you haven't yet seen the LIM challenge site, do pop over and join in the fun - I'm sure you will love it.
*********
Finally, I have some great news to share.
I have been offered a DT spot at Moving Along With The Times, and will be working alongside the mega-talented Team as from next week, and I'm over the moon!
Please pop over, join in the fun, and leave some lurve!

Thanks ladies for all the sitings of my followers, however I still can't see them!! They do re-appear for a few seconds now and again, and then float off into the blogasphere!! How weird - all part of the blogging fun I suppose!

Oooooooh new design team - congratulations Sylvia!
Excellent interpretation of the theme, these appear easy and effortless , but they really are not. They take loads of time as I'm sure this one did for the perfect placement and WOW factor, clever you :-)
