This week it's all about 2, you have to include in your project 2 colors(plus a neutral), 2 shapes on the card, and 2 pieces of ribbon. And any embellishments you want.

For my colours I used sandstone, pastel blue and cream as the natural colour. I used a rectangle and a square for my shapes and some funky thread and some gold thread as my 2 ribbons. Love little craft recipes, so much fun. Looking forward to next weeks challenge. Why not have a nosy and join in. Have a good monday. I just loooove bankholiday weekends...bliss!!! Lots of hugs

A Spoonfull of Sugar / Cute Card Thursday

Sorry, have been a bad blogger. Had a mad time this week with my boys birthdays, the big boys are 6 and 8 this week and we have been superbusy catching up with pals and getting their pressies and that. Had a busy weekend last weekend with lots of kiddies parties and discos, so we are all partied out! Jed is going to his first ever party tomorrow, his best friend Darragh is turning ONE! Yay!! Anyways, here is a card I have made for two challenges this week. For A Spoonfull the challenge is called "Buttons Galore", you have to incorporate some buttons on your card. And for Cute Card this week you have to include some numbers and letters on your card. I used some superbright DCWV papers and some Papermania and Prima flowers. Some red buttons and string from stash. The sentiment is from Hero Arts ( I think....had a go at my lovely pal's superhuge assortment of sentiment stamps) and incorporates both a number and letters. For the image I used a Hanglar stamp and a Magnolia fence. I masked the Hanglar image and then stamped the fence over her. (learned this thursday and I am obsessed, it's sooo easy!!) I coloured the image in with promarkers. Really lovely day today, had a some pals over for dinner and we had a great time. Am knackered now though and need my bed. Schoolrun in the morning. Have a good week and thanks for popping by.

(a choccie and a tag) I used a cute Magnolia Edwin image and coloured him in with promarkers. I used MM and Bo Bunny DP and some trimcraft ribbon and some stick on bling from Kanban. For the sentiment I used my little Studio G alphabet cube. Have to dash, no rest for the wicked. Have a good week.
