Seize The Cupcake!


Hello everyone .. here's a card from the weekend I had hoped to post before now, but I haven't been able to get a  decent pic due to the abysmal weather we've been having. Oh my goodness autumn is sooo truly here - first day back at work yesterday after a fortnight off including a week in the sunny Algarve - and I got frozen through and soaked to the bone - typical!! At least it makes you appreciate your holidays !! :-)

Anyhoo here is a card I made for a variety of girly, sweet and colour challenges.


Stamps: LotV "Hello Cupcake";
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Papers: Papermania "Lucy Cromwell";
Supplies: pearl hearts from The Hobby House; flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Craft4U2Do; lace from John Lewis; sentiment by Craftwork Cards; ribbon, doily and heart buttons from my stash


Challenges:
Moving Along With The Times - Girly, Girly, Prim & Proper
Joanna Sheen - So Sweet!
Ooh La La #114 - If The Shoe Fits
(I love the way these LotV little girls look as though they are wearing their mothers' shoes)
Craft Your Passion #129 - Buttons & Bows
My Mum's #75 - Hearts & Flowers
Pretty Little Ribbon #14 - Lace & Pearls
Divas By Design #53 - Lovely Layers
Sunday Sketch & Stamp #125 - sketch (flipped vertically)


Our Creative Corner - Inspiration Pic + Use Polka Dots and Buttons
(polka dots on cup and heart buttons)


I have to admit that yesterday the weather was so miserable, and I was so cold on my first day back in the office, I threw sense and caution to the wind .. and at lunchtime I could be found scoffing a big slab of cake along with a milky coffee, rather than salad and fruit - naughty! lol!!

That's all for today.
Hugs

This is definitely cake and coffee weather!! We need more energy too keep us warm, that's my excuse!

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty!!!!! LOVE it...my favourite colour combo!

I had that Lucy Cromwell paper (12x12 stack) in my hot little paws at a craft shop in New Zealand, but decided to be strong...now I wish I had been as powerless to resist as usual.

Hugs,
Jennifer. x

Gorgeous card - love the colours and layout.

Don't blame you for switching to a slab of cake with milky coffee rather than salad and fruit. Enjoy.
