Less is More #213


Hi There ... have you got that Saturday morning feeling?
Ready for a new challenge from Less is More?

Ok so this week is 'recipe week' and we'd like CAS cards showing
'This Makes Me Happy!'

Personally I could make cards with this theme until the cows come home!
There's so many wonderful happy things out there ... but 
I've limited my examples to three: coffee, cake and my pet dog 'Cookie'.


Cookie looks nothing like this but it is his birthday next week 
and he'll be 8 years old so I decided to do this card for him.
He's completely spoilt and loves finding that
little spot of sunlight to warm him whilst he dozes!
This is where I found him when I got in from work this week ... on the back of the sofa!


Card Recipe:
Paper Smooches: Chubby Chums
Derwent: Inktense Pencils
Clearly Besotted: Happy Birthday Sentiment set
Mama Elephant: Index Card dies & Sizzix Circles

I'd also like to enter this card over at Freshly Made Sketches



Love my coffee and can't resist nipping in Costa Coffee
whenever I'm passing so here's my coffee inspired card.


Card Recipe:
MFT Die-Namics - Coffee Cup dies
Paper Smooches - Dots & Dashes Dies
Clearly Besotted: Good Times sentiments
Design Paper: Doodlebug and co-coordinating sprinkles

It's an 'Anything Goes' week at Simon Says Stamp so I'm heading
over there to enter this card in their Wednesday Challenge blog.

Last one and what could be better to accompany the coffee but CAKE!


Card Recipe:
MFT Die-Namics - Blueprints 15
Mama Elephant - Index Card dies
Clearly Besotted: Sweet Little Sentiments (heat embossed in WOW bronze metallic)
Dotty Stencil - sorry don't know who makes it
Mini cup cake - sent over the pond by my super Crafty American Auntie

The challenge this week at CASology is 'Mini' so I'm heading 
across there to 'share' my mini cupcake!


We had another bumper week last week with the 'wings' challenge
so thank you all for your wonderful inspiration and I can't wait to 
see what makes you all happy this week.

Thanks as always for stopping by and happy crafting.

  1. Awwww, how yummy is your boy, Cookie! Love him! And I love your cards too, and I think we are very similar in our 'happy' things (she says taking a slurp of coffee!). And I'm seeing mum today and that always involves popping in somewhere for cake! lol xx

  5. Love your happy cards, Sarah - they have made me smile! Love that coffee cup and the cute paw prints but I am afraid the cake would have to be bigger in real life to make me happy :)
