Less is More #291

Morning crafty friends it's that time again on a Saturday!  Yep time to announce our latest challenge over at 
Less is More
It's recipe week and we'd like you to use a sticky label, sticker or peel-off on your creations. I'm not sure about you but I have tonnes of those  silver and gold peel-offs; in fact it makes me want to cry thinking how much I've spent on them over the years and they sit in a drawer ...  until TODAY that is!
But first up I created by own sticker using an Avery mailing label!

Using the Lawn Fawn: Flying By set I stamped the paper aeroplanes

onto my label then coloured with Promarkers before 'sticking them to the 

the card base. Then with a stitched cloud border die from Mama Elephant

I created a 'cloudy' sky for them to fly above! The sentiment is from the

same set and I added a strip of washi tape with a sliver of black card stock

at the base of the card.

Over at Time Out Challenges this week they are casing an awesome card

by Julia Altermann (Just One More Card) and her idea inspired my card

so I'd like to head over there with this one! The aeroplane theme got me 

thinking, I stuck to the same sentiment as Julia and added the striped

washi tape to the base of my card to 'match' Julia's background!

Next up I went for the peel-offs and decided to go with a Christmassy 

theme ... I could really do with using a few more of these as this is one

of the first Christmas cards I've made this year so I'm going to have to get

myself organised pretty quickly otherwise it'll be shop-bought all the way!

I've dry-embossed my card base with a snowfall embossing folder before

creating a mini snow scene using Zig Clear Brush pens for the sky and glitter

card for the snow. The snowman and 'flakes' are peel-offs along with the sentiment.

The cue word over at CASology this week is 'Fun' and I can't think of

much that beats Christmas-time, building snowmen with the kids and

 snowball fights for fun! Or how about translucent snowmen where you can 

see the sky through their fat round tummies or blue snow perhaps!!! 

So I'd like to pop this card into their challenge plus it's 

back around to the 'holiday' theme at Addicted to Stamps & More 

and I'd like to stop by that challenge with my card too!

As always my teamies have worked their sticker magic talents with 

this challenge so please head over to the LIM blog HERE where there's

links to their personal blogs too. 

I hope you feel inspired to play along with us this week and as always

thanks for stopping by - it's always a pleasure to read your comments too.
