hello cupcake!

Happy Friday & Happy New Years Eve!!!!

This is chock full of goodness...Hambly....and Janes Doodles!!!

The frosting on the cupcake is actually the 'backside' of the hambly cupcake paper:)  I topped that sweet cupcake with a SEI button and some Kaiser bling!   Everything is nestled onto a Hambly overlay..The SU Basic Gray seems to make the pinks pop:)

I am sooo inspired by Mona's color challenges!

Such a PRETTY Color combo...love it...thanks for the inspiration Mona!!!

Happy New Years Eve peeps...see you tomorrow with my best of 2010:)

Here is today's Challenge Sketch by our December Sketch Artist, Maile Belles:

So many possibilities, right?!  It is perfect for the Skipping Stones Design Feature set, Sentiment Frames:

Isn't it a gorgeous image?  This particular frame I used on my card is wonderfully ornate.  ALL the Skipping Stones Design images stamp wonderfully crisp & clean.

My color combo was inspired by Cupcake Creations Color Combo:

I really love designing non-traditional colored holiday cards...I'm also linking to Paige's Cards Challenge:

thanks snow much...

Hello!

Well, we were hit by snow flurry yesterday which led to my 3 hour, yes 3 hour long trip home....ugh....it was totally one of those white knuckled drives...so glad that I made it home, safe & sound.

Okie Dokie...today is the Skipping Stones Design Sketch Challenge!

Have you been enjoying Shannan's sketches as much as I have been?!!!

Check out this week's:

I'm giving you a sneaky peek of a new upcoming Skipping Stones Design set...

The yellow pom trim is from the Christopher Pines Etsy shop...they were our sponsor last week...more on them in a smidge.

Dontcha just love those snowflakes?  Here's an upclose shot:

The snowflakes have been embossed with American Crafts Grapefruit Zing!  All the patterned paper is from Torendi!  It is the Sassafras Count me in Wee Bundle...see the bloom?  It's a Sassafras Stitched Blossom. I stitched up all the panels and distressed it with Memento Rich Cocoa.

I decided to sling out a tag....the sweet bird and sentiment is from the Skipping Stones Design Sassy Snow set.

The snowflakes are Stampin' up, the buttons from PTI, pearls are Kaiser and of course the patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather for my 'ole November Project-a-Day!

The color inspiration is from Cupcake's Creations Color Challenge:

I came across the color challenge via Mona's guest designer, Pauline who recently linked up to Flashback Friday 5.0!  Such a fun color challenge...thanks Mona and Pauline!
