Good luck and enjoy the hop.

Now, onto the challenge for this very special week.  We want to see “Something Sweet” on your cards – with the optional extra of a cupcake on your project.  Well, we are Cupcake mad over here!! I have used my favourite SU! Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set and paper pieced the image using a mixture of SU! papers (Sweet Always) and PaperMania (Blueberry Hill).  I have added a little glitter and gems too– why not?  The sentiment is also an SU! stamp (Oval All).

There is a gorgeous sketch over on A Spoonful of Sugar for you to follow this week which has been created by our lovely Camilla.  There are some fabulous DT samples too so pop on over for a look.  Our sponsor this week is Silly Monkey Crafts and you could be in win the chance of winning a fabby stamp set. 

I have used a sweet Leanne Ellis stamp and she’s coloured with PMs.  The papers are SU! and so is the sentiment.

Must dash – my life’s not my own at the moment!

We have a gorgeous colour combo this week at Passion For Promarkers – Cocoa and Rose Pink which was picked by Natalie.  I love these colours together.  We have a great sponsor this week too so pop on over and join in if you can.  The DT’s samples are amazing too so hope to see you there.

Our sponsor this week is Yellow Moon and Debs has a special request to make to all you lovely crafters out there.  This is what she has put on her blog: “This is a great place to buy crafty stuff for kids – ideal to keep them occupied during the duller or wetter days. I’ve bought loads form here, they also have a terrific selection of craft blanks e.g. wee gift boxes, pencil boxes bags etc. And I’m going to be really cheeky here and ask you all a favour – if any of you place an order at Yellow Moon, when you checkout there is a page that will ask you for a source code so that the commission on your order goes to a charity or group. As many of you know I’m the secretary/treasurer and co-founder of Extra Special Parents which is a support charity for parents and carers of children with special needs. Our source code is SSH10729 and I would really appreciate it if you could use that so that ESP receives the commission.”
