Feast or famine!






I made these cards with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Cupcake Carrier SVG set.  Don't miss out on the MyGraphico 1 day sale 7/14/11, 40% off everything, including this sweet set!
  It was a breeze to make these, even with most of my supplies moved out of my craft room.  I could not get to all my papers so I used the same paper for the first 3 cards, used some glimmer mist and color wash to change it up a bit.  I cut out the Lindsays Stamp Stuff Cupcakes Carrier cupcake pieces with my SCAL software easy peasy, and made the lines with my Martha Stewart score board, then used a little Tim Holtz distress ink to color in the cupcake wrappers.  The cherries and flames were sparkled up with some stickles, except the one I used my Atyou Spica pen to glitter up.  The pink glitter was so easy to apply with Scrapbook Adhesives adhesive sheets.
I am really sorry I have not been visiting or creating much, it just feels so chaotic with everything I own scattered around, even my computer.  I am a really organized person so this really messes with my head.   I appreciate all of your comments and well wishes, the remodel is moving along.  I can't wait till it is done and I can go back to the way things were before.  I really appreciate your understanding especially Lindsay, thank you all.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
P.S. The top of my sidebar has a special coupon code and link for 60% off Letraset ProMarker Theme Sets.  I just bought 2 sets of 10 for $35.00 complete; shipping included! One day sale July 15 only.

    P.S. Diane - thank you for such a special comment on my Bella ballerina. I had the most fun making that hanging tag and then to have someone such as yourself comment so positively on it, well that makes me so happy.

    Hang in there Diane, it will all be worth it in the end. Keep you eye on the prize and in the mean time these are just super sweet and adorable! I love the papers and I'm always a fan of some glitter!

    Really CUTE cards!!! I'm sure it will all be sooo worth it when it's all done, Diane, so hang in there. I'm NOT really organized, so that's what I'm concentrating on this summer and haven't been creating much myself. As of last evening, EVERY SBs' die I own is in it's rightful/organized spot atop a magnet strip and properly labeled! Woo-Hoo -- just in time for the new release, of which I hope I can purchase MANY! ;-)
