Seize the Birthday Challenge

Hello!
I trust everyone had a good start to their week.  Our Monday was very wet and and our snow is slowly disappearing.  The boys won't be too happy about that!  They sure do love playing outside.  They came in just before dinner soaking wet!

I was commissioned to create a card for friend this week.  Her request was a purple and pink card with cupcakes!   I needed a sketch to start from since I did not feel the creative juices flowing.  I decided to give the Seize the Birthday Challenge a try!  I love birthday cards and never have enough!  I realize now that I totally forgot to put the banner on my card that is in the sketch!  Oh dear!  Lesley...please forgive me!!!

I love the new hexagon embossing folder from Stampin' Up!  I could use it on every card if I had the chance!!!  I decided to add some pearls to the cupcakes instead of glitter this time.  Just seemed to work better!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
DSP: Perfect Plum
Stamps: Create a Cupcake, Basic Label, You're Amazing
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink
Other: Basic Pearls, Create a Cupcake Punch, Hexagon Embossing Folder, Glimmer Brads, Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #64

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Here we are at the middle of the week already!  I had a sick little boy at home today.  Caleb finally succumbed to the nasty cough that was going around his class.  I kept him home and by the end of the day he seemed to be doing much better.  He went to bed early and hasn't been coughing so hopefully he's on the mend.  Unfortunately I think I am now coming down with it.  I mean, I was only coughed on how many times today?

There is a brand new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches today!  The amazing Cindy Hall brings us today's sketch!  I really wanted to make another Christmas card since I am seriously behind in the Christmas card making process (and it's already December ahhhh!!!!) BUT I also realized this weekend I'm seriously out of birthday cards and needed to replenish!

I love the colours in the Patio Party DSP and who doesn't love a good cupcake?!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse, Whisper White, Primrose Petals
DSP: Patio Party
Stamps: Create a Cupcake, You're Amazing - Happy Birthday (Single Stamp)
