Seize the CUPCAKE

I decided to participate in the SCS Wednesday Sketch Challenge SC235 for the first time and thank goodness this was an easy sketch to do. Of course the one I submitted is a little different as all of the nine spots had to be exactly the same design as far as the shape (see smaller picture), but this one was made for a special friend and she should be getting it soon in the mail. She is crazy about cupcakes and of course remembering I had this stamp that had not been used for quite sometime like 2 years (so many stamps-so little time..LOL!!!). I have mentioned before that I have a stash of papers that I always seem to forget to look at as it is my "Private Reserve" of papers that can no longer be found. I must of had this vellum for at least 4 or 5 years now and luckily remembered it was in this particular stash. LOL!!! I am really big on the Bazzill Cardstock as it is so heavy and I keep every scrap piece that is large enough to do something with as some of the colors are no longer made. I stamped Happy Birthday all over the cardstock before I adhered the vellum to the card to complete my layout. The card is a 5 x 5.5 size and fits really nice in the 6x6 envelopes. Supplies: Stamps: Cupcake-Lockhart Co., Happy Birthday-Studio G; Solid cardstock circles all by Bazzill and the Vellum-no clue as the strip had been cut off with the manufacturer's name; Inks- Stazon Saddle Brown for outline, Prismacolor markers for coloring the cupcakes; Flourish Punk by Ek Success and then stickles was used to give the cakes and scrolls some glitz.

Trust In The Lord

I made this card for the challenge over at Mojo Monday blog. I have to admit I stepped out of my comfort zone as I don't usually mix pattern papers even if they are of the same color and design, but I am glad I did and am happy on how it turned out. I cannot believe I had this paper in my "Stash" (you know we all have one where we want to save it forever-LOL!!!) and decided I better use it before it was no longer wanted or began to fade. I keep telling myself I need to use the paper from the special stash bin, but you know I never do. So now I have it sitting to the right of me to make me go through the bin before I look elsewhere. Of course my daughter when she visits always seems to find the exact paper from the hidden stash, but that's okay as that is what mother's are for right? Supplies: Verve Stamps Plain Janes and Beautiful You; Paper Bazill and Basic Gray; Ink-Stazon Timber Brown; Brads and Buttons-memory Makers.
