I'm sure there is a word for when the man in your life takes over the computer to do something "important" and manages to slow it down to slower than the slowest slow thing!
I'm also sure that there is a word missing from the LESS IS MORE blog title, and this week I think that word is DIFFICULT! How can one very simple sketch be so hard? Chrissie and Mandi, I have to hand it to you girls, this one was fiendish!
Anyhoo, here's my take on it:
I'm too embarrassed to tell you how long I was faffing around choosing papers for this, so I won't! The images are all from the same stamp in the Penny Black Flower Gallery clear stamp set, I just moved it around and stamped different sections of it on the circles. Coloured with Copics, matted onto a piece of Joanna Sheen Marble paper and layered onto a piece of PaperMania that matched the blue. Hero Arts sentiment to finish.

It is called - "Get him his OWN computer!" LOL That is what we did, and he can mess his up any way he wants! He currently has his screensaver and now his power scheme messed up on his lappy so now we have to put his lid down when he is done or it freezes bc it stays up all the time ROFL. Great CAS card Squirrel :)
Hugs and Blessings, Deborah
Wow! Love the blue flowers...beautiful card!
