Autumn's on the Way

CIC125
The minute I saw these cupcakes I knew what I wanted to do.  Those gorgeous fall colors sucked me right in.  Here in Florida we don't get to see that glorious change in the trees.  If you've ever been to Vermont for leaf peeping you've seen the purdiest sight ever.  In New Jersey the entire state has gorgeous views but up at the Delaware Water Gap and Camp Hoover I've had my breath taken away.  I do miss the colorful display but not the cold and snow that it forebears.

This week the Cupcake Inspirations CIC125 challenge is sponsored by the Stamp Fairy.  They generously gave our design team an image to use but I had already started this card when it came along.  It's an adorable image so be sure to hop over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team has created.  They made some great cards with the image.

As I've said the cupcakes reminded me of Autumn.  When my daughter was little we used to go pumpkin picking.  One of my favorite pictures of her is one where she's sitting on a pumpkin about 20 times bigger than her.  Those were the days...

  10. What a delightful card. Love that adorable image (eventhough it's a boy it reminded me of my little granddaughter trying to lift a big pumpkin when she was just 2). Beautiful DP as well, so rich and vibrant with the colors of fall.
