cupcake kind of day

I've been on a challenge kick the last couple of weeks and one that I have never tapped into is the SCS Inspiration Challenge...shame on me...I've been a loyal follower of Stef's blog and decided to give it a try. I couldn't resist joining in on the fun this week with the name 'hunkdoryhome'. Oh boy, I would soooo blow my weekly allowance in that shop...yup, did you catch that....weekly allowance...trying to do the cash only on my "mad money" purchases. I almost strayed last week if it wasn't for my friend "k" that set me back on track...I couldn't resist some boiled wool slippers that were 40% off, 40% off my friends...and they were PINK. Oy vey...she talked some sense into me {at least that's what I'm telling myself, that she talked sense into me and that I wasn't a fool to pass up that deal...}. Anywho's sorry for getting off track here...I picked the cute cupcake pillow as my inspiration piece. This card is my very loose interpretation of that...I actually used my A Muse cupcake set! I decided to fall back on my clean & simple design sense...the butterfly is awfully bright but I like it...breaks up all the luscious Amy Butler pink. The ribbon is ala a ribbon share that I tapped into awhile back via Elaine...Elaine....you see that? I'm using my ribbon and not hoarding.....

Amy Butler

On Friday I happened to put this most fabulous card into my "favorites" folders on Splitcoaststampers. It is a wonderful card by markie's mom. She designs what looks to be the most labor intensive pieces of work....they are always over the top stunning. When I read the deets about that particular card it took me to the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge. IC110 is based on gorgeous fabric by Amy Butler. It's funny, I was thinking it was "calling my name". Long story short, look what I ended up buying at the Rubber Soul shop on Saturday. I've always loved this bag but didn't realize until I got it home that evening that it is ala Amy Butler!


The bag ended up being a great way to carry out all my wonderful purchases from Rubber Soul. It can hold a TON of things {I added a bunch of stuff to my current "inventory"} and will be great for me to lug all my crafty stuff around. Sadly, Rubber Soul is closing their Redmond location but they had a magnificent sale on the day that I was there.
