the sweetest thing

lucky in love

Hello.  Remember me?  The slacker?  hahaha!  I have my SSSC card for you as well as some fantastic and exciting news! 

Today is my very first day as a Sweetie for Hope Stamps Eternal!  Each week, Rachel has a Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and she's asked me to join her team!  I'm so excited to be working with some extremely talented ladies!!

Today's challenge is inspired by this adorable little shamrock cupcake and as you can see, I took the challenge quite literally (it's how I do, you know).  I started off by cutting out hearts with my little hearts punch and popped them up on dimensionals.  I added one of the larger Garden Variety buttons from Cosmo Cricket to the center of the shamrock and then handmade a little stem.  The sentiment was made in Photoshop and printed out to match.

Be sure to stop by the rest of the Sweeties and be inspired:

Thanks for stopping by and being so patient with me this weekend!
Karen


recipe -
