Snippets, Charity Cards and Less is More

After making my Dt card I had some bits and pieces left over and decided to make another card for the Less is More Challenge. After making it I wished I had moved the bottom piece higher and I still had more scraps left, so here is what I did….


I batch made some c6 cards with the bottom piece higher and a punched heart in the corner. These will go into the cancer research bags to raise money. They sell these in the local shops for £1 each, what a great way to raise money for charity!









I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Sunday’s Challenge

is also set by me over on the CMLI group on Craftbubble! Now if you play your cards right you can link to Less is more (button or ribbon or mixtures of both) and Jules snippet challenge which is what I will be doing when I drag myself out of bed tomorrow (scheduled post!)



So the challenge is… to use up your snippets! Jules set’s this challenge every week to encourage us to use our scraps up – WHAT A FABULOUS IDEA! – instead of having them cluttering up the place, use them. As I am fairly new at crafting still, I have NOWHERE near the amount that Jules has, she has colour coded boxes!!!!

These snippets are obviously from a forever friends set, buttons from stash, sentiment won as blog candy and punch is SU!.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!
