FWF--sweet cupcake!

Hello, friends:}

Today is FWF over on the Unity blog!! Make sure you stop by HERE and blog hop on all the participants' blogs!! You could win some free Unity stamps! And speaking of--check out the fabulous Unity sales going on over at the Unity store!! OH MY! I cannot wait to get my order!!!

I have a quick post for you....yes, I'm still "out" and busy--but within a couple of days it should slow down! How I've missed visiting with you!!!! 

Today, I wanted to share some of the cupcakes that I made for my friends. This cupcake in particular is going to a good friend visiting from NY, Jeremy! She is the coolest--always hip and always super fun to hang out with! I am entering this cupcake into the Unity monthly challenge! It's all about summer! I'm also entering this cupcake decoration in the Tuesday Trigger--when I saw the inspiration picture, I knew I had rainbow paper. Plus, the bathing suit matches the second and third spools--super cute color combo!
Deets on the cupcakes::: cookies and cream cupcakes--there is an oreo in the bottom of the cupcake, with a cookies and cream center (oh my!!!), topped with a cream cheese frosting and an oreo halve and crumbs. All homemade! MMMMMM! **NOTE:: I am not that great of a baker and never could be on Cupcake Wars...but it doesn't matter as long as it taste good:)

That's it for me today! I am sorry this is short! THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

PDCC #86

Hello, friends:}

Hoooooray for another fun day over at the Play Date Cafe! We are starting another color story today--hollyhock, sky blue, and orange! Perfect for SUMMER! And NOTE those heels--LOVE LOVE LOVE with hot pink tights! Want me a pair of those:)
I created a very simple card (since I'm short on time lately!! SUPER busy!). I know my teammate, Jax, does not like doilies...but I had to use one on this card! FUN--don't you agree, Jax? Simple--stamp, cut, add gems, place onto doily! And I love love love that I didn't use just plain cardstock (other than kraft)! I never find the right patterned papers--but this time I did:) LOVE Echo Park!
That's it for me...but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Tami Mayberry, as well as our Guest Designer! And don't forget to stop by all the other Play Date Cafe DT members' blogs---F-U-N!!!!

Paper Smooches

Hello, friends:}


I was thinking that I wouldn't have time for this post....but the deadline for the Paper Smooches Guest Designer is tonight!!


I used my Boob Tube and Birthday Buddies stamp set for these signs. I love that little fish on the "fishing pole". I love the sign too--I masked the sentiment to make it say just FISH! LOVE LOVE LOVE--and perfect for Father's Day!!
**NOTE:: I didn't have time to make cupcakes--so these are from Publix! Still very very GOOD!

ATU #33 Get Manly

Hello, friends:}

The All Things Unity challenge is starting a new 2 week challenge today! This challenge is all about the MEN--use your Unity and Ippity stamps to create something manly!
For my creation, I made some cupcake decorations. I was going to make three--but I couldn't find another patterned paper that I like to match! LOL! I used my NEW Ippity set The Man {get your Ippity HERE from JenMarie}. It was perfect for this challenge!
That's it for me today--but you are going to LOOOOOOVE seeing what the ATU DT gals created. We also have some amazing Guest DT with us this month--  Libby , Lydia , Marcie. So hop on over to their blogs and leave them some love! 




Head on over to the All Things Unity blog for more details too--remember to link up during the month of June and you could win our monthly prize from Plaid!!! Can't wait to see what you make:)

PDCC #85

Hello, friends:}


Hoooooray for another fun day over at the Play Date Cafe! We are starting another color story today--dusty pink, blueberry, and cream! I instantly thought of vintage--since the inspiration photo looks vintage!
I created something really simple--something to remember what my family has been doing this month. We had a family photo taken a couple weeks back, and it looked like it had a hint of blueberry and pink in it--so I paired that with some notebook paper and stamps. Love how this turned out--I do wish the blue was more blueberry--but I love it:}

EIC #140 {Peaden Scott Designs}

Hello, friends:}
This week the EtsyInspired DT is sending you over to the Peaden Scott Designs shop. And our sponsor is Through The Craftroom Door

I was inspired this week by so many creations--love the bear and the butterfly...but I found this love themed card. I love that the inside has hands that go way out to show how much you love someone! CUTE! I have to admit that I cannot make pop-up cards...so I went a different route. I made a love themed card. The sentiment is from Unity's The Best Is Yet To Be KOTM set. I also used the stamp and key images from Unity's Be Mine With Love set. And the heart came from Unity's Confession set. LOVE that paper [MME]....just love how this turned out! 
That's it for this post! But wait--the EIC DT have created some AMAZING creations for you to check out! Head over to their blogs now:)

Kimme Leach {April Guest DT}
And don't forget to head over to the EtsyInspired blog for more deets! Link up your creations by Friday, June 17th at noon to be eligible for the two prizes!! That's right--2 weeks! **NEW** EtsyInspired will be a bi-weekly challenge!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}
