Cupcake for Paper Players #513

Happy Sunday.

It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's CAS theme week.  Here's Laurie's theme:

Aren't they yummy looking baked goods?  Those bees are amazing and that cherry cupcake... well, let's just say I could handle that with a cup of tea!

I went with Cupcakes for my card and pulled out an old Power Poppy digital stamp.  I did some basic coloring and added some shimmer and shine with my gel pen.  I used my whimsical stitched rectangle dies and added a sentiment.  Easy peasy.  Here's my card:

As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:

On a personal note:

Well, I only managed to make one card this week and that was for an upcoming Paper Players challenge.  For some reason, I just haven't made it into my craft room  but I think I might be inspired to use some new goodies that my darling hubby bought as an anniversary present.  Isn't it wonderful when you have a hubby who enables your obsession er, I mean hobby!  :-)  He had heard me rabbiting on about a "new" (to me that is) stamp company and how cool some of the goodies were.  He kept asking me what I wanted for our anniversary and I kept saying, "I have no idea".  So, he decided to get me a gift card.  Boy.. did I have fun deciding what to buy.   I spent a couple of hours this week getting them all into their packets, dies onto magnetic sheets, etc.   But now I need to try and get time to actually play with them!  First though, it's housework!

I do have a few cards that I haven't shared with you yet - so I'm hoping to get time to post them this week.  I will also be packaging up cards for Send A Smile for Kids and also ones for seniors.  I should be back tomorrow.  If you are looking for a little touch of fall color, you can check out my photos from this post.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.

Hugs
