Sweet Birthday

Okay, so you know when you see something and don't really like it too much, but don't really know why? Well, when I saw this stamp set, Sweet Birthday, that is how I felt. I think it was the cutesy faces to go on the cupcakes that made me frown. Well, then the genius Jeanette, announced a Thin Cut die set to coordinate with this stamp set....that turned my frown around! Here is how sweet those cupcakes are now!

I used gorgeous Raspberry patterned paper from Some Kinda Wonderful with a Whisper  cardstock background. I added patterned paper pieces on my craft room table for the sentiments. I coloured the cupcakes and candles with my Shin Han Alcohol Markers, then added some Epoxy Gems and Whisper Thick Twine.

All supplies are Close To My Heart.

Back to life after 4 day crop!

Ah, yes, I just got back from a 4 day crop! It was actually really a 5 day trip as the friend I went with was kind enough to pick me up in Victoria and have me stay over at her house, in Shawnigan Lake, the night before. This happened last Wednesday and we arrived to Camp Homewood on Quadra Island on Thursday, Jan 26. Oh, the peace a quiet with time to nap and crop 24 hours a day.......and no chores to do........aaaaaaahhhhhhhh, the glory!

 So while I was gone, I should have posted some pictures, but didn't. Here they come now! This is one of my new favourite stamp and coordinating die sets, Sugar Rush - Cardmaking. I used Raspberry and Tangerine cardstock for the base, then used as many of the Sugar Rush patterned papers I could fit in. I added a thin strip of Sea Glass Glitter paper and stamped the donuts with varying inks.

All supplies are Close To My Heart.
