Birthday Sundaes # 24

Hi everyone, 
I have a fun card to show you today!
This week at Birthday Sundaes we have a photo inspiration challenge..........Look at these yummy cupcakes!


I loved the fluffy white icing and all those pretty coloured sprinkles.....
So this is what I came up with...............lots of buttons in different colours and shapes.
This cupcake is from 'Celebrations' cartridge.......With my Gypsy I welded two cupcake shapes together at the top. I used a paper crimper on the wrapper ( it does not show up that well in the photo) and a little embossing for my fluffy icing.
The design team have some great cards to show you pop over to Birthday Sundaes and have a peek.

Enjoy your weekend

Best Friends...................

Hi there,
It is hard trying to find the time to do layouts at the moment..... I was so happy when I was able to do this one today for the Kaiser Sketch Challenge.
Most of the paper is from Kaiser's new collection 'Hunt and Gather'
When I saw this picture of the little boy with his dog I knew straight away what photo I was going to use......And how well do they match!  Its just simple , but I love the soft shades of blue. (My favorite color).

I hope you are having a great week

Tracey
Look at this awesome "Blog Candy"!

For You.........

Hi everyone,
Today I have a card to show you , its my first card as a "Sassy Lil' Sketches card" design team member, Yay!

Here is the  Sketch.........this was fun to follow, I love banners!


Here is a close up of the pretty doilies......Months ago I found a huge box of crochet cotton at an Charity shop.....I had planned on learning to crochet, but that didn't happen:)  So , I gave the box to my friend Anna. When she comes to visit she brings me doilies that she has made, I have quite the collection now! They are so pretty.
I used the Cricut to cut the leaves and banner.

The card challenge this month is sponsered by

"My Favorite Things Stamps"
