My friend!

Good morning all and hope that your week is going well. I can't believe that it's Wednesday already - the days just seem to be speeding by and I feel like I'm running to catch up!  I realised that I didn't put a post on at the beginning of the week like I usually do, but have been busy with building works at home, doing some crafty projects that I can share with you soon (!) and doing the actual 'paid' variety of work as well!  And a really scary thought that hit me yesterday was that it's now only 4 weeks to Christmas! Every year I promise myself that I'm going to be all organised next year, with presents wrapped, cards sorted, etc. - and every year I seem to fail miserably.  But with the dawning realisation that on Saturday it's 1st December, I'd better get myself into gear and sort out Christmas card lists and pressie lists.  My darling (!) husband thinks I treat it all like a military operation and that I should relax and 'go with the flow'.... Except he's not the one who makes meals, feeds the (what feels like) constant stream of family & friends, buys presents for offspring, etc. Sigh.  Perhaps I should just take a back seat, although I have a feeling that if I did then 'Christmas' just wouldn't happen lol!

Sorry to have a moan!  But I'm afraid I'm going to have another grumble about today's card... Do you ever make a card or project and just get the feeling that something is 'missing' or out of place? I've done that with this card!  I'm not sure if the colours aren't right, or the layout or what - but it just feels as though it's not as it should be - if that makes sense!

I've coloured this cute pair - a stamp from LOTV if you hadn't guessed lol! - with promarkers, and some distress inks on the edges

The 'denim' backing paper is from Joanna Sheen, with some coredinations card embossed with the Cuttlebug 'Swiss dots' folder and then lightly sanded back.  I've added some hessian weave and the cute wooden dominoes from CraftyEmblies.  The sentiment tag is from LOTV. 

So still not sure what's missing, I've a feeling it's probably the colour choices and that I've done it all a bit dark and muted. Mind you, they might look a bit odd in bright pink tops....

Oh well, I'll have another look at it later and it might get submitted to some 'editing'! 

Hope that your Wednesday goes well! 

Back soon, Kim x
