Got Cupcakes?

My good friend, Tamie, and her kids are here for a sleepover for Calvin's 12th birthday and so....while the kids play....the girls *must* craft! HEE HEE...
I dug out one of my newest My Favorite Things sets, Cupcake Flopsey. Isn't he CUTE?!?! And I had to use him in conjunction with my new Raspberry Tart DP :o) Thanks for stopping by...running to my scrap box to find more inspiration - be back shortly!

Hi, Cupcake!

Ohhhh...I love this new designer paper from Stampin' Up! It's called Raspberry Tart and there are some very nice patterns and colors in this pack of paper....
Tonight I decided to make 2 cupcake cards using the paper piecing technique. If you click on the image, you'll notice that the cupcake papers are actually designer paper...you stamp your image again on a piece of DP and then cut it out, and glue it onto your main image....FUN! Thanks for stopping by - I am off to bed. I have a very emotional day ahead of me tomorrow. The lady I told you about a while back that had brain cancer passed away last week and tomorrow is her funeral. She touched my life in a huge way and I was glad to help her clean her house and do household chores the past 4 or so months before she left us. She was a fighter....but now she doesn't have to fight anymore. She can rest.
Talk to you tomorrow...

Masking fun!!!

The big day is over and I hope that everyone survived the holiday without too much stress! I am here in my craft room once again after such a nice, relaxing day it was almost scary! Something I'm not used to at all...LOL. We have my niece and nephew for a week or so as of today, and that is our best Christmas gift we could ask for. We haven't seen them since they lived with us 1.5 years ago (and they only live 25 minutes away) due to a social services order and my kids were just pumped today! It's a long story, and one that I won't get into today - just know that we are so excited to have them for the week and my kids have just been jumping for joy all day and giddy with excitement and happiness! :o) I cried and told them I missed them so much and man oh man, have they grown!!! Crazy!

Today I decided to CASE these cards from Dawn at Dawn's Stamping Studio. Please be sure to check out her wonderful tutorials she posts...she's a great source for help and techniques! Thanks, Dawn - these cards are so easy and soooo pretty! I am going to do the same as Dawn and make them in Burgundy, Artichoke and Hunter next....then I will have my Christmas cards all done for January in Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge! Yay me!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Lovely As a Tree, Winter Post, Best Yet
Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Ink: Night of Navy
Accessories: Photo corner punch, large oval punch, dimensionals, glue pen, dazzling diamonds, sponge dauber, dotto (repositional adhesive), scissors

3 More Sleeps!!!!

OMGOSH I can't believe that Christmas is only 3 more sleeps away....it seems like it's just an average Monday LOL...but, it's not. The next couple days will be busy for us here at the Turner house, but I want to *try* to craft at least one thing each day throughout the holidays! Am I nuts? Probably...but, it seems to really help calm me down and keep me grounded....so that's my mission!

I got some "fun mail" today. Fun mail is anything other than bills and today I received my Verve order! Wahoooo! I went to the Verve website and case'd THIS CARD....I added glitter to the snowman, and used a different scallop punch for the tangerine tango...those are the only 2 differences...thanks for stopping by during this busy time of the holidays! HUGS!!

Cupcakes, cupcakes...how do I love thee?

Yep....today is Taylor's Cupcake Challenge! She gave this sketch and this is what I came up with....if you click on the image, you will see the glitter more up close:

On a Verve kick....

I am totally loving all the new sets that Verve Stamps has been putting out. I just received *fun mail* yesterday and the new Ornamental Christmas was one of the sets in my package! I didn't have time to ink any of them up yesterday, so after returning home from a wonderful shopping day in Edmonton with Melissa and Tammy, I got right to crafting! I CASE'd this card from the Verve Blog HERE - be sure to check it out! They have such great samples to follow!
