Less is More " Lucky Dip "

I did read on several blogs that if you took the plunge ( I did three weeks ago ) that taking part in the Less is More challenges  would become addictive and how right they are ! This weeks challenge is to create a card using the the words " Thank You " or  " Congratulations "


Instead of boring you with my usual ramblings I will just show you my little medley !




All very simple I even used acetate on the the congratulations card , I guess I am one of the few who like to use it !



Another big thank you to all of the Limettes who popped by last week 97 comments !!!!!! I was totally blown away. I also reached my 100th  follower, another milestone for me as I have only been blogging for three months so thank you all for your fantastic support .

It's a new month and a new challenge over at Get Creative .The first challenge is to scrap a layout featuring yourself and stating your age if you dare !  We have a guest designer this month the very talented Amanda Jones who is kindly sponsoring us with some beautiful prizes from her shop Scrap Rat. Go over and check out what she and the wonderful design team have come up with , who knows you could be one of our lucky winners this month.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend .

  35. Hi Maria, thanks for commenting on my LIM card this week, much appreciated.

    You've been as busy as me this week lol... Do you use an electronic die cutting machine as the wording on your congrats card is fabulous, i can do that with my PI and i might have a go for next weeks challenge, whatever those gorgeous ladies over at LIm throw at us.

    Many congratulations on getting your 100th follower, you definitely have the knack of making some fantastic CAS cards, each one with style and elegance. My favourite this week is between your first acetate card and the stick baby who is very cute. Well done again for all your blogging successes:-)
