Less is More #226

Morning all, hope you're ready to be challenged at Less is More!
It's a 5-Saturday month which means we have a 
'Lucky Dip' Challenge - Two or Four legs

...what's more we've a guest designer too this week
Rebecca (MellyMoo) so I do hope you'll pop across 
to her blog and check out her wonderful creations.

Here's my cards and first up I'm using the Eiffel Tower AGAIN - 
The die was still on my desk from last week and I looked 
around for something with 2 or 4 legs ... and there it was!!! 


Card Recipe:
Clearly Besotted: Je T'aime, Basic Numbers & Superstar
Artplorations: Bubble Stencil inked with Tumbled Glass DI
MFT Die-Namics: Stitched border and rectangle dies

I'd like to link this card up at the STAMPlorations - Anything Goes challenge


Edit: thanks to Julie B air suggesting I also link up at



Next up a very obvious 4 legged animal and I'd also
like to link this card up at Freshly Made Sketches and Addicted To CAS,
where Animals is the codeword this week.


Card Recipe:
Paper Smooches: Chubby Chumbs
Hero Arts: Happy stamp & die set
Clearly Besotted: Grass die
MFT Die-Namics: Stitched Square Dies & Sentiment strip
Tumbled Glass distress ink over a home-made stencil for the sky
using Mama Elephant stitched landscape die

   



And the last one is to link up at Muse Christmas Visions although I'm not sure
 if I've taken this Muse a step too far this time; turning Tracey's card upside down and 
using penguins instead of trees - will see whether it's deleted from the gallery.
Truth is I was late to the Arctic penguin party and can't miss an opportunity to use them!!!


Card Recipe:
Sheena Douglas: Falling Snow Embossing folder
Mama Elephant: Arctic Penguins
Clearly Besotted: Signature Christmas
Distress inks in Tumbled Glass & Broken China

Here's Tracey's gorgeous Christmas card


I'd also like to link up at 
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - where it's Anything Goes


Ok I'm handing over to you now and looking forward to 
some super clever ideas this week as always. 
Have some crafty fun and don't forget to check out the fabulous cards 
from my LIM teamies over on the main blog here

Thanks for stopping by and catch up with you again soon.
