Less is More Challenge

Hi All
When I first saw this weeks challenge from the ladies at "Less is More" , I thought that I would not be able to enter as I didn't think that I had any stamps with cats or dogs on them. But after a search in mr craft room I found the hostess stamp from the current Stampin up catalogue called Summer Afternoon which has a little dog surrounded by flowers in a wheelbarrow.
I tried to keep it very simple using paper piercing and a brad as an embellishment.

Until next time

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
