My first Shaped Card- What alot of fun!!!!

Wow! This was the most fun I have ever had creating a card and I love it. It may not be perfect but it is my favourite card I've made so far. The challenge at Cardvarks is Shape Up take a look at http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2009/05/shape-up.html. The creations there are fantastic! After cleaning up my ribbons and sorting my new ones into colour groups, I wanted to use my choc chip ribbon which I got from the lovely Madonna Dunn-Stampin Up extroadinaire http://www.madonnadunn.com.au/. I was inspired by Pamela's ice cream cone and Laurens cupcake and I wanted to create a cupcake card. I have used cardstock choc chip and pink passion, and some buttons I bought from Spotlight. It is the first time I have used buttons and I am happy with the result they give. I hope you enjoy this challenge as much fun as I have. I have just finished watching the Disney movie Enchanted with my daughters and I'm in the mood for creating something magical. Hopefully I will be able to come up with something tomorrow.
