Mmmm....cupcakes.....

Cupcakes seem to be all the rage these days! I saw a sketch challenge on Taylored Expressions that I decided to try. I'm not crazy about the way the card came out, but I'm going to post it anyway - lol!

I used white and orchid cardstock, and TAC Gentle Beginnings patterned paper. The large cupcake stamp is by Vap! Scrap (a $1 Michael's treasure!), and the sentiment is by Ann-Ticipations. The mini cupcake is from the "Party Time" set from The Angel Company. Inks used were Palette Noir, and Color Box Lavendar Que Chalk Ink. The EK Success Edge punch, silk flower, gemstone, and ribbon were just what I could find to finish it up!

I hope you are having a great weekend. It's cold and rainy here, with a chance for more snow (ugh...wish those newscasters would get rid of four letter words!). Here's hoping the white flakes will pass us by this time!

Melissa got her car back today and it looks beautiful! YAY for good bodyshops!

Have a great Sunday - it's monthly report time for me, so I will probably not be at the computer much.

Mmmm....Chocolate

Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt!

I’d stop craving chocolate but I’m not a quitter.

I'd stop eating chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

In the cookies of life...friends are the chocolate chips.

Life...Liberty...and the pursuit of chocolate!

Some things in life are better rich...coffee, chocolate, men.

On that note:



Here is an 'oh, so quick' card for the Chocolate Lover in us all! Patterned paper is purchaed from the Red Rooster (sorry, don't remember which brand, this is just scraps...), as are the cute brads. Stamp is by Ann-Ticipations. I cut out a single cookie, and used pop dots so it would stand out. The ink is Color Box Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink, and the card is distressed with same.

Have a good day - think chocolate!!!
