Wednesday Sketch Challenge

I was SO glad I was able to play with the sketch today!! It was a very fun and easy one too!!!

This sketch is perfect for using up pieces of scrap decorative papers and scrap card stock! My first card was going to be a graduation one but after I laid out the paper on the card stock I didn't like it. I may put it together for you and show you tomorrow. It's pretty ugly!!!

For the card I used in the sketch I used the Stampin' Up! "Crazy for Cupcakes" set. I don't use this image very often, I usually use the larger cupcake. I LOVE that stamp! And it is fun when you can use other stamps in the set!!! I did think about using the cupcake one but I opted for this one instead.

The decorative paper is from The Sweet Stack. A big stack of paper I had gotten a while back at Joann's. It's going to last a VERY long time too!! Especially at this rate. I cut one strip off a 12' x 12" sheet and the strip was only 1-5/8" wide!!! I could make a TON of cards like this off just one sheet of that paper!!!

Oh and the adorable cupcake ribbon.... I got that at Michael's today. I went in there for a bottle of glue. I did remember the glue but somehow other things found their way into my basket. I hate it when that happens. LOL Though I don't regret the ribbon purchase, this ribbon was just too cute to pass up!!!

I added some corners I punched and a little glitter to the cupcakes. I put it all together and took a photo of it!! Simple and quick!!! I LOVE all the layers too. I do like to do lots of layers when I make cards. I know, it's extra cutting but I don't mind. It just seems to add a lot to a card.

Thank you SO much for stopping by. I hope you were creative today,
Wanda
