Way to Go!

Hiya! I hope you're all having a good week and haven't been caught up in too much snow! We got about 2 inches on Monday morning but it was gone by lunchtime and that was all - fine by me!
I've just popped in to show a quick card I made yesterday. I got some of the Embossing Diffusers and my first thought was they'd be great for one layer cards. As this weeks LIM challenge is one layer week I had to try it! That's when the problem hit - this is the only sport or exercise related image I own! And I live with sports loving man!! I've had this little stamp for years though so I'm glad I've found a use for it! I coloured it with a white gel pen then went back over any mistakes with a black fine liner. I then used the same white pen to give some borders, it looked a bit lost without those. I hope you like it, thanks for looking!

Your card is perfect for LIM, Beth! I love the star EF with the ball and fab sentiment!!

Happy belated anniversary! Thank you for popping in from Kim's blog and leaving your sweet wishes for our anniversary, 40 years on you! Man, makes me feel old! Do you need to adopt a granny by any chance?!

PS. Sorry, didn't mean to just single out LIM, it's really perfect for ALL the challenges ~ I just had LIM on my mind!
