Maybe a cupcake would help?

Good morning!

Yesterday, I got around to photographing some of my projects from my petite Escape to MN so now I can start sharing them with you!

This card was made with a particular friend in mind since she loves pink and Donna and I had found this fantastic little journal when perusing at Chapters that said "Eat a cupcake and Relax" - it just screamed her name! I have had the sentiment stamp "Maybe a cupcake will help?" for ages and hadn't managed to ink it yet, so this was perfect, especially since our friend had a recent lengthy hospital stay.

I had some fun with the inside of this one too!

The fabric I used on this card is a sampling of what Donna and I picked up at one of the fabulous little quilt shops we visited in MN. Isn't that brown polka dot the cutest? We also learned how to go about "stiffening" the fabric to make it easier to work with (or put through a Cuttlebug - that is Monday's card...) - so happy to have figured this out! We purchased a yard of "bonding" material to play with and it worked like magic. I only wish I could recall the specific name of the one we purchased since the lady who helped us mentioned several options and at the same time, we we overwhelmed with the huge choice of fabrics available!

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Going Dotty
They are also looking for Prima flowers and I used those too!

Crafty Cats - Material Girl

Thanks for stopping by today and for all your comments while I was away. I did a little bit of visiting, but still have catching up to do. Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Cheers,

Shanna :)
