3 Cupcakes 3 Challenges!

For the “Chocolate Challenge” at Stamp Something.

For the “LOVE” challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot


For the “Cupcake Challenge” at Charisma Cards

I just got these cupcakes images from a download at the Cutting Cafe and think they’re just so cute! I had a nightmare printing them as my printers (I have an inkjet AND a laser) didn’t want to play and wouldn’t print on card! I eventually managed it but I was nearly smashing the things to pieces by the end of it. Does anyone else have trouble with their printers and cardstock?
Anyway, I had a great time playing with them last night (didn’t get to bed till 2am) and have 3 challenges covered.
The Cuttlebug Spot (the pink one with the hearts – the challenge is to use the word “LOVE”);
Charisma Cards (The challenge is “Cupcakes so take your pick) and
Stamp Something (the challenge is “Something Chocolate” so either of the two chocolate cupcakes would be ok.)
DH was working overnight last night so as such I haven’t seen him as yet. We are having a Valentine’s dinner party tonight so I need to get on and start prepping. I’m attempting chocolate fondants with a chocolate chilli sauce!! I’ll let you know if it turns into a total disaster!!!
Have a lovely day wherever you are. My neighbours are celebrating their Golden Anniversary today – only just found out so need to rustle up a quick card to pop through their door!!

More Russian dolls.

Ok, there are two of my current favourite things on this card – my Russian Dolls stamps and my scallop edge punch which was also part of my fabby prize from Stampin’Up Emma. It punches much easier than my Martha punch which does struggle at times with cardstock. Thought I’d see what these wee dolls looked like just in simple black and white. The flourish stamp is Basic Grey and I’ve cuttlebugged the bottom bit. This is for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge this week which is “Doodle Do”.
And to Steph if you’re reading this – the catalogue from Stampin Up is VERY, VERY SCARY!! I know what you mean about it being addictive. I have £200 spent in my head already!!!
