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.

You Are My Sunshine...

I am not a person who is fond of yellow's but after dh took this picture I knew I had to make it as it was a flower that was saying :Do I remind you of sunshine?" It was really quite easy to pull together and I think I will prbably give it to a friend who is recovering from surgery. Below are other views of this card. I have began finishing the inside of the card as well instead of leaving it just plain. I think it just makes the card complete. I have seen others do it to theirs and at the time thought it was to much trouble, but now that I have begun doing this as well to all my cards, it really makes a difference and helps when people notice and comment. We all can use praise once in awhile. After finishing this card I liked the way the yellow complemented the green papers. Unfortunately I wish I could tell you who these papers are made by, but like many of us we buy and stash, take apart the reams and file them with the color palette they belong too. LOL!!
Supplies: Various papers (Company Unknown), Studio G Sentiment, Offray Grosgrain ribbon, Yellow dew drops, MS Punch, Nestibilities Ovals-Plain and Scalloped, CB 2x2 dies for squares.
