Happy Birthday!!!

If you have not entered in my giveaway and you would like to.... please go HERE

Hello Everyone,

Okay seriously I am not paying attention...I have missed 2 challenges that when I went to post the project, they were closed. Yikes!!  I need to get my act together, hehe! I have had some other things going on that is consuming my time...and I am slippin:( After I get through the next couple weeks, maybe things will settle down and get right back on track!!!

I managed to squeeze in this easel card that I made for a few challenges that I wanted to participate in. I hope you like it:) 

I cut the yummy cupcake from the Sweet Treats cartridge at 4" plus the layers. I did a little embossing using the spots/dots and divine swirls folder.




I added some pretty little adhesive pearls to the frosting and used glossy accents on the heart. I included a few brads and a cute little charm that I had in my stash. I used an EK Success punch for the border and the sentiment is from SU~Happy Everything stamp set.

I am entering it in the following challenges:

1.) Paper Cutz Challenge #104~Color Challenge~turquoise, red, white and black
2.) Birthday Sundaes Challenge #22~It's all about the brads
3.) Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #73~Piece of Cake
4.) Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #26~must be an easel card
As always, thanks for stopping by,
Sherrie K

  9. Like the colors & arrangement of the card. I keep a notebook on the challenges and have missed some challenges due to writing down the wrong end date or misreading the end date & missing the challenge by a day.

  18. Mmmmm....I love the way those bold bright colors pop on the dark background! Great details too! I know what you mean about things consuming your time! I'm starting to forget what it is like to play a challenge myself! If it weren't for DT posts and blog hops, it would be quite in my corner of blogland! I have been like a daycare this summer! One more week though and everything goes back to normal (or as close as we get to normal...hehe)! Thanks for playing along with us at Birthday Sundaes!

Another beautiful masterpiece! :o) You used one of my favorite color combinations, and the burst of red for the glossy heart is extra gorgeous. :o) I love the fact that it's an easel... and gosh, your details are always so beautiful.
