Chocolate is cheaper than therapy!

This was a fun one!!! We needed to use an odd number of decorations on Tuesdays card.

Here we have:

1.) Patterned paper backing

2.) Copic-coloured image

3.) 3 buttons

4.)Sentiment

7.)Crystal Effects applied to glasses and wheels

That is a total of 7, or if you don't count the crystal effects (since its already on the image...) and the card base, 5!! So either way, we're odd! Funny how hard it is to limit yourself when you are really thinking about it lol! I really like this little dude, and the sentiment. First time I have used either, they are soo cute. Paper is from Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe collection.

Yummy Balloon Card

Hmm how fitting that I am posting a cupcake/birthday card today.. since it is my birthday!!!! I am offically 24 as of 2.5 hours ago... now I am afraid to look in the mirror - will I find my first grey hair or wrinkle? lol

For Monday's challenge @ 365 Cards, we had to create a non-traditonal balloon.. I immediately knew I would be using these gorgeous embellies from Martha Stewart that have been laying in my stash for ages!!! I conveniently had some SewEasy thread that coordinated perfectly with the frosting on each cupcake :) The sentiment is pretty much perfect for this card as well! I don't do a lot of 'white space' on my cards but I am really loving the simplicity on this one!! Again, took photos on my iPhone so the quality is not the best.

Another 365 Cards challenge!

Another challenge from 365 Cards! The goal was to create a card using a Sticker, Ribbon and Masking technique - SRM for SRM stickers, the sponsor for this weeks challenges.

Martha Stewart dimensional cupcake sticker, used smooches spritz to spray over a heart mask (I will be using this technique again.. soo pretty!), random ribbon, and, of course, scrap paper!
