Paper Sweeties 4th Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Paper Sweeties!  Congratulations, Debbie, on 4 happy years!  I'm so happy to be participating in the Paper Sweeties 4th Birthday blog hop.  My how the years have flown by...

To celebrate the birthday theme, I've created a shaker birthday card with some adorable Paper Sweeties stamps.  You can see them all linked in the supplies list below.  I've created a black and white background scene - or more accurately a silver and white scene with pops of color on top.  

Look at that adorable kitty - isn't she the sweetest with those big eyes?  And I love the cupcake banner - so fun to color!

Here's the video how-to:



Let's celebrate some more:  One of my readers will win a Paper Sweeties gift certificate worth $10.00!  

How do you win?  Just leave a comment on this post telling me that you would like to win 
the Paper Sweeties Gift Certificate.  I'll select one reader by random selection.  I'll announce the winner on Sunday, August 14th.  Be sure that you come back to check and see if you're the winner.  

Here's a list of all the blogs celebrating Paper Sweeties 4th Birthday.  Join me in checking out all the birthday projects!

"Couldn't Resist" Cupcakes

Do you browse the cheapo nice but reasonably priced bins at Michaels?  Sometimes I just can't resist.  These cupcakes were one of those times.  I should say, one of many times! 

I think they're just darling - so sweet made out of felt.

All they needed were some fun papers in a cute shape...

And a "Celebrate" flag, of course!  Looking forward to Friday (except I have to go have some tooth surgery trying to fix a root canal that's gone bad)!  Have a great weekend!

You are such a Deer and a Cupcake, Too!

Hi! Hope you had a nice weekend. We actually went to the movies yesterday! We don't go very often. We saw Avatar. I thought the story was great (Dennis, not so much). I'm not sure the 3D was that awesome, though. The glasses hurt behind my ears after awhile and most things seemed 2D anyway. However, I still bought in to the story and was tense almost all the way through. I kept thinking, "NO! DON'T DO IT!" But I knew they would. The destruction was hard to watch and that humans were responsible hard to take.

I'm sharing a sweet card today. I cut the vintage image apart and enlarged the butterflies a little. The papers are from K & Co. I just love the little deer and bluebird...so cute! The stamp is an old one from Stampin'Up.

This is my cupcake.
I watched the how-to video from Fabulously Artsy. Then, created my own. It is designed to hold a giftcard. I attached a flower and ribbon to a tag and then used a paperclip to hold on the giftcard. It worked great!
