Cupcakes ......

There's nothing nicer than a pretty cupcake, so I knew I would end up buying this gorgeous Crazy For Cupcakes stamp set from Stampin' Up!


I have used a combination of the lovely new Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Close to Cocoa, I have added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the cupcake frosting, along with crystal effects on the candle, to give it a waxy look.  The knot is tied with the lovely new Soft Suede polka dot ribbon, and the backgound is made with my favourite stamp at the moment - the beautiful Medallian stamp, which I inked with the Melon Mambo ink and stamped the corners of some Melon Mambo card. 

Today the sun has gone and it has rained, it has been a beautiful week and we have had a lovely few days away over the half term, so now I'm playing catch up again!!  Fortunately there is a teacher training day tomorrow, so an extra day off school for Lucy and Philip, hopefully the rain might go away and we can visit the local park while it will be quieter than usual, as most of the other children on our estate will be in school.  Hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sun shine while it lasted!!!

I haven't had much time for blog hopping recently either but I have so enjoyed seeing your recent postings. You have made some lovely cards - I particularly love the twisted bow in your last post and the vintage vogue creations by your ladies! Warmest wishes, Lesley

I was thinking about you earlier so thought I'd stop by. Loving how you've worked the medallion into this card with the gorgeous cup cake. My mouth is watering! x
