Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

I love those cupcake boutiques you find in quaint towns or even in the mall!  Chocolate cake with peanut butter would be my favorite choice!  I do shop with my eyes when I walk into a cupcake store, who doesn't!  The last time I went with my chum, I got an Elvis cupcake.  It was banana cake with PB frosting.  Yup, it was to die for!  But so are these stamps.....

I have been creating again with this months Creative Cafe - Kit of the Month through The Rubber Cafe.  How Sweet it is, is a yummy collection of Melissa Francis papers and stickers, Queen & Co. pearl enamels and black twine, and The Rubber Cafe's exclusive stamps, Make Life Sweet.  Here is my second card created with this collection.

Thanks for stopping by.  Go get a cupcake!

Obsession

Hello there!  I have had the opportunity to create another layout with the very versatile paper line from Glitz Design.  My local kit club has given us quite beautiful things to design with recently.  I can not wait to see what will be in next months kit:o)  I incorporated a cut from my Silhouette - the title, Obsession!  I also cut my triangle background and used the cuts as the corners of my page.  I added stitching, ribbons and a few pins from MME and Maya Road.  Of course there are some Studio Calico veneers in there too along with a couple of Canvas Corps tags.  See the purty sequence?  They came from Michaels!  I found myself a whole array of colors in the t-shirt section.

   My boys shoes come off his feet and go right where they belong.  All his books have a place so he knows where to find them.  Look at the tub next to him, see how he is organizing his magnets.  This makes me cry with happiness.  Why can't his dirty clothes ever hit the hamper?

Look what I have to put up with!!

Until next time....

LOVE THIS

We are ready for summer here.  We have had 7 snow days this winter and are ready for a change in temp!  I have been playing with this months kit from Ink About It.  I loved the colors especially the yellow goodies.  This line is so versatile and I just adore the Rhinestones!  I added some Studio Calico wood veneers and My Mind's Eye enamel dots for a tab more embellishments.  See the "Love This" cut from my brand spankin new Silhouette!  Again, I need a person so show me the ins and outs of this thing.  I am sure I will never use it to its fullest potential but I am gonna give it a try!

We have moved our patio furniture out to the patio.  My husband even put the pool skimmer on the fence.  I laughed because it is at least another month before that opens, but I think he is ready!!  My tulips are 5 inches high and my hosta have broken ground.  I am ready!  Bring on the warmer weather! Hoping that with most of the houses built out back now, the wind will not be as strong and I can scrap outside this spring.  Cross your fingers!
