less is more

Hello! It's late Saturday night, and I am trying desperately to turn around as I have to work day shifts again by Tuesday. As you can see, it's not working very well!! Problem is, I slept almost all day today when I should have been forcing myself awake from working nights this past week, plus I wasn't feeling the greatest.
 So, since I am up anyway I thought I would continue to clean my craft room, then I got itchy to stamp!!
And sadly I haven't posted anything just for fun, or rather not for a DT post, in quite a while.

I recently discovered a challenge blog called "less is more", and therefore a CAS challenge blog! Yippee!!
This whole month is being dedicated to one layer cards, and this particular week's theme is hearts.
Edited to add: My bad! I guess the second week of the month is always one layer!! Oops!

I have been greatly admiring white embossing on kraft lately, so decided to give it a try myself. I couldn't resist using this adorable Taylored Expressions image, and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far. Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

  1. This is great Kasia, I love the combo of colours on the kraft card.
    It's great to see you at our challenge... which is ALWAYS Clean and Simple, but it's only the second week of each month which is ONE LAYER.
    DO join us again next time we'd love to see more of your super creations.
    Thanks so much
