This Weeks Just Us Girls Challenge #156 is (apart from posting before the linky closes *o* ) is to include numbers on your card.

My only thoughts were,

 "Tea for two".

 

On my card, the die cut numbers (& letter) are coated in Crystal Accents to make them glossy, I had thought about making the cups glossy too, but then decided against it...

I'm loving the pink and grey scheme -

it looks black in the photo but it is grey.

 

Spool Time!

For Every $60 (not including shipping) you spend on Stampin' Up! products you get one free spool (9.1m) of stitched satin ribbon in your choice of five colours!

My Mojo 248

Here is my Mojo 248 card. This weeks card was inspired by some lovely ladies I met very recently but feel like I've known for a long time (oh, the wonderful world of Blog Hopping)!  The colours Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake were inspired by Narelle Macey who was inspired to make a Christmas Themed card inspired by Barbara Williams who was inspired by - it's all very compex! Anyway, here is the Sketch

And here is my card...

Products used - Crumb Cake cardstock, Rich Razzleberry cardstock, DS Pattern Stack Brights, Basics Pearls, Crumbcake Seam Binding Ribbon (love this stuff!), Linen Thread and Stampin Up's EXCLUSIVE (lol) brown packing paper  - for the flower!

I unfortunately also had reason to make a Sympathy Card so I'll show you that as well.  I like this card - I'm quite chuffed by it. Even though Sympathy cards are not something we like to make I think it is nice that the recipient gets a unique gift and the knowledge that you have been thinking about them and care enough to make the effort to create something especially for them.

I just love these flowers and they are so easy (my 7 year old makes these) and versatile!  Just change the colour and you have a frangipani, a tiger lily or any number of colourful blooms!

I am going to (try to) do more challenges, under the advice of Teneale Williams so I may post more often - or I may not - at the moment it is school holidays so I may even post some cards that my gorgeous girls make.

Until next time - Keep Stampin'  Marls  xx
