A Valentine's Cupcake

This week's Squigglefly Challenge is Pink and Red.


I used a new image by Pamela Lehto called Celebration Cup Cake. You can make it work for any occasion but I typed in "Love You" so mine could be for Valentines.

Ingredients: Flowers made with a Martha Steward Hydrangea Punch, papers from The Paper Studio and SU!, Dies from Spellbinders and SU!, gems and mini-clothes pins from HL, and twine from stash.

Hugz!

    Sweet valentine, Nancy. Love those little flowers at the bottom and the addition of the clothes pins. That's my kind of cupcake with a tall mound of icing. :-)
    BTW, I liked reading about your giraffe. I was searching for it in this photo. Ha

    Have a wonderful week.

    I am loving this cute Valentine. The flower arrangement was a really great addition to your card, so was the clothespins. I am hungry, wish I had a real cupcake like this one with no calories. :)

    Nancy, you've just jolted me with inspiration! I like the way you arranged hydrangea-punch blossoms around the fancy rectangle frame, but they're all in the same shade. Genius! It's beautiful, and oh so touchable.

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...
