Yup, so I have been a BAD blogger over the past week. (shame, shame) I blame it on the "misfit-Schnauzer" that has descended on our home. Between his rescue-efforts and keeping him (and the other fur-kids) amused, I haven't had a ton of extra time. It's not entirely his fault though, in all reality, life has just been busy lately. Yesterday afternoon, I FINALLY had some time to spend in the "craft room" and I decided to catch up on the multitude of birthday cards I need to create for November and December.
I saw two challenges that helped me to inspire me to come up with my idea for the card:
Tuesday Morning Sketches- Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes
Maybe I'm still still riding the wave from my own birthday on Sunday, but let's be honest, cupcakes are ALWAYS a great choice! Mmmmm! I went with the Birthday Bakery set (hostess, level 1) because I have been wanting to try it out.
I used Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White for my color combo. The DSP is Candy Lane (ret.). I was just in a PINK mood yesterday, which isn't really all that shocking, I know. :) What goes better with cupcakes then sprinkles...oops, I mean SPARKLES. So I added a "few" to the card front. Why NOT? As always, I brought the "party" to the the inside0 of the card, continuing the SWEET theme. (The stamped sentiment inside is from the Perfect Punches set.)
It all ends November 30th!
Thanks for visiting today!
Anne I love the colors you chose for this set, but I'm particial to polka dots too. So cheery. Love your blog too.
