"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!"
~ Psalm 27:13-14

TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS~ Cupcake Challenge #42




Here's my entry for this week's Cupcake Challenge! Last week I ordered 2 sets of her cute little cupcakes, Home Sweet Home and Season's Sweetings, which I used here. This sketch was great, and I'm finding that participating in these sketches is really expanding my creativity!

This card is all paper pieced, which seems to be my favorite thing to do right now! I also used lots of brads (Stampin'Up's More Mustard and Pretty in Pink). I'm usually far too stingy with brads and buttons... I'm trying to be better about that! Also used were Stampin' Up cardstock in Old Olive, More Mustard (the star), Always Artichoke and Riding Hood Red, as well as designer series prints papers in Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss, and lastly Sweet Always for the cupcake top! If you don't see a paper or brad mentioned... it's probably because it's from a competitor...oops!~(but you can email me to find out the details)!


The only other special thing I did was to use some funky tinsel ribbon on the tree... isn't it pretty? That was one of my scores from Target this past weekend! YAY!



Have a great Monday!

What a cute card. Love how you wrapped the tree!

BTW the 'chocolate' icing on my mouse cupcake card is brown liquid applique. Thanks for the comment on my blog.
