Christmas is a Time for Families

Whether we are ready or not ... we have reached the final challenge of 2014 
at Less is More and the theme is 'Family'
It's a 2 week challenge in the hope that you'll have a little
crafty time amongst the festivities ... maybe with some new goodies to share!
So here's my cards

Well nobody said it had to show a 'human' family!
 and this card is going to my sister and family.

Card Recipe:
Lawn Fawn: Tweet birds & sentiment stamps
Clearly Besotted: Birch Trees stamps & dies
Pink Petticoat: snowflake DP behind a layer of vellum
Brads and twine from my stash and to finish 
Winks of Stella and Glossy Accents

Other Challenges I'd like to enter:
CASology: Snow
Simon Says Stamp: Photo inspiration

 
  icy-moodboard-sss




For this one I've gone with the traditional Christmas family

Card Recipe: 
Paper Smooches: A Blessed Christmas image (heat-embossed in 
WOW pale gold embossing powder and coloured with Promarkers);
sentiment from the same set on a MFT Die-namics sentiment strip
DCWV Glitter card, Doodlebug sequins & gems from my stash

Another Challenge I'd like to enter:
Addicted to CAS: Coincidentally the theme is also 'Family'





Card Recipe:
Clearly Besotted: Naughty or Nice stamps and dies
Clearly Besotted: On The Line die collection
Pink Petticoat DP plus gems and pearls from my stash.

I've gone crazy for Gingerbread on this one but I decided it
could represent the Less is More DT 'family'!
Although looks like Chrissie, Anne & I have joined 
some weird cabaret dancing troupe or a marching band!!!

A quick edit here as I hadn't appreciated that today would be Jen's
farewell post as she leaves the DT at Less is More and I wouldn't 
want to exclude her from My LIM DT 'family' card...so
Chrissie, Anne and I are wishing you well for the future
(whether you be Naughty or Nice!!! :-) )
and sending you on your way with hugs, hearts and very best wishes.

Cheers Jen, thanks for your fabulous inspiration and
hope to see more in blogland as your talent is immense.

Ok over to you now to wave some magic over this week's challenge.
Thanks for all your snowy creations last week - I think it did
the trick for me as I managed to get a bit more focussed on
Christmas cards, pressies and decorations!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year
Thanks for your continued support at Less is More and
See you all in 2015 for lots more challenges
