Happy Haunting

Cupcake Challenge 30

Hello everyone! I've been busy this week trying to get some scrapbooking done, which I plan on posting on later this week. I just had to get my Cupcake challenge fix out before it's too late.
Yeah, and I'm not sure how I messed up the challenge order but last week I put challenge #30, but I guess this is week #30, sorry about that.

Is it too early to start thinking about fall??? I'm sick of this AZ 110 + degree heat. Just thinking of cooler weather makes me happy. I love anything Halloween, the colors the decorations the fun and yes the chocolate, lol. This is one of my favorite Haloween stamp sets too. Trick or Treating by Close To My Heart. I also used the Happy Haunting set for the web. The cute little trick or treaters are done with waterbrushing and inks. The pattern paper is, yikes...I don't know, they were just scraps I was trying to use up. I think the polka dot is from Rusty Pickly and the web might be from Making Memories.

Have fun and check out Taylors blog for all the rules:
Here is the sketch.

Love Your Life

Cupcake Challenge #29
I've been itching to use this set by Close To My Heart called: With Love. I've seen so many cute things done with the flowers and vase. I thought this sketch by Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge was perfect. I needed it to be long to fit the vase and flowers. I am so in love with the little circle placements she puts in her sketch.
Here is what I used:
All products but the dew drops are from Close To My Heart
Stamps: With Love, Cottage Floral and Adorable
Pattern Paper: More to Adore
Colors: Chocolate, Vanilla Cream, Vineyard Berry, Blush, Hollyhock, garden green, Olive and sweet leaf.
Other: Ribbon and Liquid glass
Card Size: 4 1/8 x 9 1/2

Cupcake Challenge #26

This is Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #26. This is my second time participating in her challenge. I love her sketches and I love to see all the cards that come out of this challenge.

I did go buy some cupcake stamps, but I decided to use this stamp set from Autumn Leaves: Birthdays. The set is more of a "hand drawn" look. Very Fun!
Paper is from Close To My Heart Silhouette Creative Basics. Cardstock in Black, Watermelon and Ocean. Ribbon: CTMH designer ribbon rounds Black collection. I used the water brush and coordinating ink colors to color in the cake. Liquid glass for the cake plate and sparkles for accents on cake and flowers.

You can play along too;)

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #25

I've been looking at this blog Taylored Expressions for several weeks now and I just love the idea of this Cupcake Challenge. Just to say cupcake is fun. It makes me want to go out and buy all different kinds of cupcake stamps. The rules state, that you do not have to use cupcakes, so for the time being that is what it will have to be until I can get my hands on some cute cupcake stamps. Thanks Taylor, for letting me play along. I love it and your work and all the fellow Cupcake challengers are great artists! I enjoy seeing all the different cards and it has inspired me to keep creating cards.


Here is my creation. I used Close To My Heart Cocoa Cardstock, My Reflections Stickease from the School Zone, polka dot paper is from the My Reflections Route 66 paper pack, Cranberry designer ribbon rounds, and then I used some liquid glass on the apple just to add a little shine.


So if you want to play along here are all the details you need to know.
