A bit of cake xxx

Hey all
Hope all is well out there in blogland? Thanks for all the wee messages yesterday, its interesting too see what we all have a weakness for when we're out shopping hee! Us crafters gotta save our pennies for more stash hee!

Today has been a lovely wee day! I made lots of yummy things for hubby going back to work tomorrow! I made some Vanilla Parfait cupcakes and triple Chocolate and cranberry muffins the results are below!


Hubby gives them both 10/10 but he may be slightly biased hee!
I'm not a big cake person but do love baking and cooking anything! I give anything ago even if I wont eat it hee! I adore anything "Cupcake" and all my family get me wee cupcakey things including a fab Cupcake Cherry-on-top apron my best friend Ellie got me for Christmas! I also have keyrings, lip glosses, charms, books, pens, t-shirts and even cupcake jammies! If its cupcake shape or got a cupcake on it "I WANT IT" hee!
On the subject of cupcake, what better than a card to match ....


Ingredients:
Stamps - Time for a Cuppa and Papermania Cupcake
coloured with promarkers
Papers - Papermaina
Sentiment - Kanban
everything else form stash

I would like to enter this into the following Challenges
Let's Ink it up - Anything goes
Blackleaf Studio - Food/Drink
Crafty Catz - Food/Drink
The Creative Cottage - Something New (papers and stamps)


I made this wee card as part of my demo on Tuesday and have all the parts made up to make another one hee! I'm looking forward to Tuesday now but probably by the time it comes I'll be terrified, feeling sick and needed a pee every 2 mins!! Yes I will be so nervous, ekk thinking about it has just given butterflies ekk ekk ekk!!

Ok lets talk about nice things ........... What is your fav "cant live without" craft item? Something as simple as your fav tool or is it an item you love to use?? Me I adore my papers and have a giant, massive, huge collection that I just love! But that doesn't mean I don't need more!! I just love my papers! Oh and another item is my gorjuss lovely ribbons, all colours types and materials! What about you??

So off to make a lovely wee brew and try one of my cakes mmmm yum!
Night night lovelies

  6. Hi Melly. Sounds like you had a busy day and the cupcakes and muffins look gorgeous. Haven't baked in a while, hopefully get a chance maybe this week. Your card is beautiful. The colours are lovely and bright and the image is so cute. As for my craft items, maybe my herma glue - cause I am always repositioning when I make my card and you can't do that with double sided or maybe my Sugar Nellie stamps. These were some of the first stamps I bought and Daisy would still be one of my favourites. Enjoy your tea and cupcakes. Donna
