Darling Daisies



Oops, what happened, there's no charm.  Click on the photo to enlarge.
  EEK! That's the sound I made when I saw the challenge photo for this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. You should have seen my cat jump.
Those daisy cupcakes are just gorgeous.  Week after week I marvel at the beautiful pastries Rachel finds for our inspiration. 
Years ago I took all three of the Wilton cake decorating classes so I have an idea of what went into making them.  It was a lot of fun taking the classes, making the cakes, and eating the cakes.  Even though it's fun, it's work and not easy.  So I will spend most of my days decorating cards and leave the cakes to the rest of you.


Aren't these yummy looking.



don't forget the inside

The sponsor for this week's challenge is Heather Ellis, the creator of Pure Innocence.  She's giving a prize of three images.  Did you just make the "eek" sound?    What a great prize!  And all you have to do is be inspired by those gorgeous cupcakes.  So take a look at them and get cracking.  Wipe the drool off your face before you start your card or project, it makes a mess, yeah, you can cover it with an embellie but if you can catch it beforehand...


I look terrible in yellow so I tend to shy away from it. However, when I see yellow cards I always think they look very cheerful so I took this challenge to heart and went out shopping for yellow papers and embellies. After all, it's me not my cards that look lousy in yellow. I got a little carried away and came home with lots of fun stuff.   I even used some of it on this card. 

Here's the deets:
stamp - digi image by Heather Ellis
paper - Georgia Pacific white cs for image and mats; Hot Off the Press yellow gingham dp; October Afternoon "Ducks In A Row" dp; Rubber Soul
