Hey There Cupcake!

I have started clicking on the sketch and challenge blogs once again and have started to get back into them after a long absense - it's been fun!  Since I've been out of it for so long, I'm looking for some new ones to add to my sketch and challenge blog roll, so if you have any to recommend I'd love to check them out!

Today I'm going to share a card that I did for Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog.  The current Challenge #49 is "From the Kitchen" so I figured what a perfect time to pull out my Cupcake Sprinkles stamp set and put it to good use.  Here is my card:

I used the new Sophia papers, along with the Stay Left pattern from Wishes.  I also used some fun new pink ribbon under the cupcake and one pom pom that I snipped off and added to the top of the cupcake.  As I mentioned in my last post, I found my coluzzle and put it to good use to cut out my circles - for the Blush circle I then used my corner rounder to create a scallop circle - I love that technique!    I then edge distressed both of those and heat embossed the sentiment with White Daisy EP.

I still have a couple dozen more cards to share, and some pages as promised in my last post, so stay tuned!

Thanks for visiting!

Flower Child

Here is a page I did yesterday. I used a January 2009 PageMaps sketch - I love Becky's sketches! These pictures were taken the same day as the last 4 pages I have done - I must have been really camera-happy that day! But I think that day is finally done ;-)

For this page I used all CTMH Products: Dazzling Die-Cuts for the scalloped frame and the frame around the title, Sunflower Garden stamp set (retired), Flower Child stamp set (which I've had for a while now and have never used), Ritzy Ribbon stamp set, Cupcake Sprinkles for the stitches around the edge, and for the cross stitch marks, I used the 'X' from the Moments In Time stamp set (January Stamp of the Month). I also used Olive Buttons with Sunflower Waxy Flax, a Circle Window Charm on the Flower Child title, and 3-D foam squares and Liquid Glass on the flowers and leaves to make them pop. I love the new Big Circle Coluzzle template - I used that for the circle around the middle pic.
