Yes, it’s Monday so it’s a new challenge over at Cupcake Crafts. It’s the first of the DT challenges and this week it’s my turn – yay! Here is what I want you all to do:
LOL – I hope this isn’t too tricky – maybe it will be for those minimalists amongst you!! I get to pick the top 5 too (the hardest part of all!) so I can’t wait to see what you all create.
Here is my example. My 5 includes ribbon, eyelets, staples, gems and glitter. I don’t make enough cards for boys so enjoyed making this one.

The papers, card and chipboard elements are by Sassafrass Lass from a Sarah’s Cards kit from last year. I coloured the chipboard circle/star with a blue promarker before covering it with Aqua stickles. I used my much neglected cropadile on the row of eyelets and then stapled the card along the edges for an “industrial look”. The ribbon is from a Raspberry Ribbons kit.
The rest of the DT really did us proud with their examples – they’re amazing. Please pop by the blog and have a look. Think you can even beat 5???
This is my take on Dawny’s lovely sketch over at PTW this week. I did turn it on it’s side so hope that’s ok. This is made with more of the gorgeous Stampin Up! papers from my pal Steph – this time from the Summer Picnic range. The flowers in the middle (which go very well indeed with the paper I have to say!) are a set of stamps I’ve had for AGES from Banana Frog. I haven’t really used them much latley but as I was looking through them I came across this one. Handy when that kind of thig happens isn’t it??
Ok, off to chip away at that ironing!!
