Cupcake Inspiration Challenge & a Card Patterns Sketch


Welcome to the weekend, peeps!

And for those of us in Canada, it's a L-O-N-G weekend!  Well, *some* of us have to work on Monday, but most have the day off...  The weather has improved slightly as it is not raining anymore but it is still cool and cloudy so I made the executive decision to stay inside and CRAFT for a bit today!  I slept in until 10:30, got up to do some "work" and then sat down to a couple of fun challenges.

When I saw this week's inspiration picture over at The Cupcake Inspiration Challenge I started to drool...don't they look YUMMY??  Almost too good to eat....*ALMOST* (I'd TOTALLY eat them up!)  I love the colors and the simplicity of the picture:


I decided to take the colors and the flowers, leaves and polka dots for my inspiration and paired it with the sketch challenge over at Card Patterns - well, kind of... I didn't put the brads/circles in the corners and added a sentiment in the bottom right corner...





Recipe - Stamps: Small Script (SU!)  Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Gable Green, Whisper Roses, SU DP  Ink: Chocolate Chip  Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, paper piercer, button, twine, Sweetest Stem Embosslit, Chocolate Chip satin ribbon, hodgepodge hardware

Thanks for stopping by - I hope to get a couple more done today but if I don't, please stop in tomorrow for Stacey's Curtain Call!  See you then!
