Two challenges from me today, so two more cards for the stock box and a tiny dent in the left over mountain.
My first challenge was the DCM one which has been set by Kathy this week.
So without further ado, here's my tiny little challenge for this week
Shrink to Fit
I used to be able to make cards with lots of "white space" around the designs, but lately when I've tried to do this my cards just look sooooo naked!
So this week I'd like you to think small - not small cards, but small spaces of embellishment on regular sized cards.
You are allowed to cover no more than a 5x5cms area of your card with paper or embellishment - the rest of the card must be left plain.

My simple card consists of a square of card embossed with baby feet (which I bought a couple of years ago from a craft shop in Cornwall!), a square of blue paper from Doodlebug and a silver charm tied to the card with pale blue ribbon. I don't usually use peel offs but I do quite like these tiny ones.
My second challenge is for Di Hickman's template challenge This is Di's template for this week
and this is my card
The card is gatefold covered with yet another Pink Petticoat paper. The flowers are Prima and the rest is off my desk.
Right, that's it from me today. I am still in h*******k mode for some strange reason, not like me at all, and we are going to see Dancing on Ice this evening. I am so looking forward to it.
Take care and have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to.
