circles

This is my first official post on the Less is More site (although I have been playing along for a few weeks unofficially!) Being a newbie to card making I don't have a lot of stamps or a vast array of inks etc - although as you can see my first purchase was the cuttlebug - but on this site you don't need it, as it says less is more!
For this card I used a scrap of embossed card die cut some circles and there you have it .the gem is rather large but thought that if I used this one it would show up better in the photo.Gems seemed to be my trademark as every card ends up with one somewhere :-)
hence the name of my blog!Please feel free to give me some feed back x

    it's a lovely card, great idea with the frames. I started off with the cuttlebug and it gets LOTS of use. I started off x stitching and then joined a craft forum where people were making lovely cards. Google Craft bubble and look for the Craft mad and loving it group. We have just for fun challenges every weekend and you will probably recognise Kathy K as she enters LIM every week. Don't be shy, come along and say hello x

    Hi there Jenni your story sounds so much like mine been blogging and card making for six months now, and if it wasn't for my sons help would never have been able to post anything. Your card is lovely and perfect for the challenge, great embossing too. LIM is a great community and I'm sure you will find lot's of inspiration here, I know I do every week.

    Hi Jenni - welcome to blogland!!

    I really like your first "official" post to LIM - the embossed detail is super and I like the mixture of open and closed circles, such a pretty colour too.

    I've had a quick look at your earlier posts - I think your Mr & Mrs card is fab!

    Congrats on taking the plunge and entering your card . . . it's LOVELY. Aren't Cuttlebug's just the greatest invention for cardmakers?

    Jenni, I LOVE your clean and simple circles card! The gem is perfect, too. I also use the Cuttlebug and have resisted other machines because the Cuttlebug is fine by me! Great first "official" entry...good luck!
