Shades of Green

Second and final post of the day...
I wasn't planning on doing any more projects for the day, but I came across Take a Word's Green challenge.  Perfect...I have just enough scraps left over to make another chunky page!
I'm also going to submit this at Fat Pages with Attitude.

All that Glitters...

Hi there!
Firstly I woke up startled today.  Then realization kicks it; it's Daylight Savings and my clock sprung forward.  After I pulled myself together, I got some retail therapy.  I was happy as can be to find a lot of sales at Michael's.  I found THE perfect item: GLITTER TAPE!!!
This week's challenge over at Dilly Beans is "I love glitter".  I got so into it, I couldn't just make one.  I combined my love of cupcakes and glitter :)

First up is my Very Berry cupcake:

Ingredients:
Cherry berry cupcake by Marisa
Lollipop party girl from Dilly Beans
Daisy glitter tape by Recollections
Cupcake brad (lower right corner) by Recollections
Flowers from my stash
Cardstock by Bazzil
Prismacolor markers
and a pinch of LOVE xoxo

Glittered up her hat and heart on her frock

Second up is the Sugar Frosted Pansies cupcake:

Cupcake also by Marisa
Friday from Dilly Beans
Skullie Glitter tape from Recollections
Cardstock from Bazzil
Pansy stickers by Jolee's Boutique
Prismacolor markers

I sprinkled a purple glitter heart on her frock.

Aren't the skullies adorable?

And of course, foam dots for dimension

Are you as crazy about cupcakes as I am?  This is the closest I've ever come to baking :)  Well, I made quite a mess, but I had so MUCH fun...Thanks for stopping by.  I'm going to go clean up my craft table now.
Peace and love,

Over the Rainbow about Cakewalk!

Hi there,
OK, so we all have good days and bad days.  My joints hurt, I'm fatigued more days than not and I feel like I can sleep for a few years.  Safe to say I'm having a bad day...make that a bad few weeks.  My only solace is creating stuff.  It helps me take my mind off of stress which can totally wreak havoc on your mentality and physical body.  So, with what energy I have, I craft a bit then nap a bit...then repeat.  I'm hoping that this cloud of fatigue will blow away.  Meh, enough of my complaining, things could be worse.  On to more happier stuff.
It's time for another awesome challenge over at Wicked Wednesday.  We are sponsored by A Day for Daisies this week and we got to work with this adorable little fairy baby!  I love their mermaid designs.  Check out their stuff, guarantee you'll find something you like.

I printed out the sweet baby a couple of times to add dimension.  I smudged the background with chalk and tied a bow to it.  Looking at her sleep makes me want to go take a nap too!
But, happy news first!  I would like you to meet Chickadee.  She's one of my sweet and fluffy creations that will debut at Cakewalk (my free digistamp site) in a few weeks.  You can get your own Chickadee starting March 28th.

Mark your calendars: March 28th
Give chickadee a home; she will be yours free to download

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to stop by Wicked Wednesdays to check out the rest of creations by the DT :)
Check out Cakewalk when you get the chance and stay tuned!
Peace and love,
Mary xoxo
