WOYW?W Happy Birthday Cupcake

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday

Boy oh Boy...it has been ages since I joined in the fun at What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday. Life and work has gotten so crazy, it is hard to fit in everything I want to do! I thought I would take a quick snapshot of my desk to show that it still looks the same... a new computer monitor..the other one bit the dust.  You can see just a bunch of crud all over...phones, tv remote, cardmaking supplies, nothing really very exciting, but hey-I was missing my crafty friends across the ocean...time to see what is up with Lunch Lady Jan, Wipso & Twiglet, Bluebeard and Elizabeth, Barf Snoodlefart, 505whimsygirl and many many more....you can tell just by these few names they are a very creative lot!!!!  Stop in and say hello to Julia at the Stamping Ground and join the fun if you have a few minutes!

I do have a peek at a couple cards you can see in the picture of my desk sitting over by my open Silhouette machine. They are both the same design, but slightly different papers and crystals. I needed a birthday card for a special lady-so here you go-----

Cupcake cut file is from Miss Kate's Cuttables. You can buy it on her site, or in the Silhouette Store. It is pretty detailed...love all the teeeeeny tiny dark brown outlines that are added to the top of each treat...a little tricky to get glued on, but with patience I managed. Don't know what I was thinking when I decided to added a teeeeny tiny brown rim on top of the white circle...in hindsight I would cut a brown circle slightly larger that the white circle-would have been sooooo much easier, but I wanted it to mimic the brown pieces on top of the cupcakes and cupcake holder. 

 The cute sentiment is from a My Craft Spot-- Tasty Treats stamp set...a perfect pair!

Well, back to watching the finale of The Voice! I swore I would be in bed early tonight and wouldn't you know-The Voice is 3 hours long tonight and I have to see who wins!!! 

Thanks for stopping in today-see you soon!

Monday Night Stamping Project-Valentine treat box

Tomorrow is Monday Night Stamp Group for me...that means I have to bring 15 of some sort of project-and that usually means fast and easy!   I used a cute little box (approx size 2x2) from the Silhouette Store designed by Lori Whitlock(link below), tied a little twine around it and stamped this super cute little tiny sentiment from My Craft Spot Bon Appetit set(love it!)-it has lots of sentiments perfect for Valentine projects(an all year long)! I am sure you will be seeing it again soon!

I realized I did not pick a winner for a free stamp set when I was Guest Designer for My Craft Spot(the holidays kept me hopping, so sorry) -so I guess today is as good as any...Congratulations  to Cathy-Merciechild

Thanks for stopping in-I do hope you stop by tomorrow for House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #161-Unused Stamps and I have a suuuuuper cute funny  little cupid heart box to show off soon too. Finally getting into the groove I guess...you all know how much I love red...so Valentine projects are the perfect thing to get my mojo going again! YIPEE! HA! Lots of red coming your way!

I am entering this in the following challenges: (coincidently both sponsored by My Craft Spot-how cool!)
Silhouette Challenges #9-Anything goes
2 Creative Chicks #10-Anything goes

Everything is better with Chocolate! My Craft Spot Guest Designer

I was so honored to be asked to be a Guest Designer for My Craft Spot!

 Kim was so nice and shared this fun stamp set Bon Appetit with me!  And GUESS WHAT???  I also get to give away a stamp set to one winner from those who leave me a comment on my blog!   Yep, Blog Candy!

This set  is so versatile-I had a hard time choosing just a few sentiments to make up in to fun cards, so I am guessing you will be seeing the rest of the sentiments in the near future! In fact, come back to my blog next Saturday, November 23rd,  and I will have another card for you and announce the winner!

This fun chocolate bar #51227(Hmmm looks like a yummy Hershey bar to me) is a new cut file from Echo Park at the Silhouette Store. I used a couple different brown papers and some shiny brushed silver cardstock for the candy wrapper. I stamped the 'Everything is better with Chocolate' sentiment on cream cardstock, matted on chocolate and silver cardstock and tied it on with some brown twine. I changed the file up a bit to make it a card that opens at the top too.

 Freshly Baked...can't you almost smell freshly made bread?  I do! I made this toaster holding some wonderful 'Freshly Baked' bread.  ( I don't know too many people that have a green and yellow toaster, but seems I always think of my Oregon Duck colors!)

I love that the toast pops out and opens up so that  you can write a message inside!

Thanks for stopping in today! I do hope you have enjoyed your visit!
