It is a big weekend for birthdays! This morning, we're celebrating our sweet, sweet friend, Karen Motz in a little birthday blog hop - this girl cracks me up and I'm SO happy to have met her at CHA in January. Happy Birthday Karen!! To start at the beginning of the hop, please go to Dana's blog first. Next stop for the birthday hop is Jeanie Witmer.
This week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge is a beauty! I love the turquoise with the pink and green and that yummy chocolate! Sign me up! I ran right to my packet of Fly a Kite paper from October Afternoon and used Mercy's MTSC77 for the layout - super fun! I stamped the cupcake base in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and cut it out with a circle Nestabilities die template. I stamped the frosting in Regal Rose ink and cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals. I added the little sentiment tag along the side (sorry Mercy, wink!) and a few Aqua rhinestones for sprinkles in the frosting. A little pink satin ribbon and it is perfect! haha! Stop by for more inspiration with the CIC Sweeties:
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Sunday!
