Clearly Besotted - Home Sweet Home

Hello everyone :o)

Our next door neighbours moved into their new house today - they've been next door since I moved in (nearly 12 years ago!), so I'm sure it'll feel a bit strange for a while now they've gone... anyway, I thought I'd make them a card, and I made one the same to welcome our new neighbours too... and then hubby asked for one for his colleague who just bought his first house, so I made 3 of these altogether.

I used my new Clearly Besotted stamps and MFT blueprints dies, and kept them nice and simple.


Items Used
Naturals Ivory cardstock - Stampin' Up
Dark brown & teal cardstock - Papermill Direct
Home Sweet Home stamps & matching dies - Clearly Besotted
MFT Die-namics Blueprints 12 & 13
Doodlebug Sequins Rainbow Assortment - Craft Mojo
Memento Dew Drops in Espresso TruffleTeal Zeal

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Charisma Cardz - clean & simple
Crafting for all Seasons - no designer papers
Addicted to CAS - luck
(it's a 'good luck in your new home' card, but haven't used a 'luck' sentiment... hope that's ok!)

Dex has been off school today, but he's much better... I haven't got much done though, as he wanted to snuggle up on the sofa watching films - we've done The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, Monsters University and Planes today, and he'll probably want Despicable Me before bed too lol.... good job I like kids films!

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Fab card Lisa!
Ohhh, we have Monsters University scheduled for our family film on Sunday. Monsters Inc. was my daughter's favourite when she was little, so we have high hopes! x

Such a pretty card. I love all that stitching.

Maybe I should have followed your lead and planted myself in front of the telly today. I'm not at work due to a head cold.

Great minds, Lisa - I bought this set this week but haven't had chance to try it out yet. Desperate for the pierced rectangles and circles, too, but can't get them anywhere! Love what you've made. Hope Dex is feeling better. Tracey x
