hey cupcake!

Oh boy, I had fun with Laura's sketch 21 on 2 Sketches 4 You. Since they teamed up with Starving Artistamps, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to ink up my Doodlefactory large cupcake!! Well, I inked and paper pieced it..I couldn't resist using the FUN papers I picked up after Christmas from SEI {40% off...thanks Elaine!}. Isn't the A Muse "hey cupcake" sentiment adorable?

Check out the new Basic Grey Aviary clear stamp set...from their Porcelain line...

The most fabulous Susan of One4Joy sent this to me...She knew that I was on the look out for these gorgeous images and sent the set to 'lil 'ole me....what a magnificent friend!!!

♥♥♥♥
Thank you Susan...you are thee best :)

I'm realizing that I've been stepping away from my vast collection of Stampin' Up stamps....I gotta do some serious spring cleaning to make room and make $$....lol.

Any big plans for the weekend? I gotta work but I'm also making time for other fun things. I do a majority of my card making on the weekends. I work full-time and on the weekdays I have a 2+ hour commute {roundtrip} so it leaves me enough time to feed the kids, squeeze out a card and some time blurfing. I've managed to go back to 7 days of blogging...so far I've been able to manage it :) The constant juggling of responsibilities is quite the delicate balance..lol. Have a super creative fun-filled weekend! I'll be back tomorrow :)

This card is so fun and adorable! Love all the manufacturers your brought together here!! I adore that BG stamp set, and can't wait to see what gorgeous stuff you do with it!

I think I'm going to sell 90% of my SU! stamps. Most of them I have not used in two years, and I really don't want to haul all that wood back to CO. I hate the whole retiring thing. Even if I like the stamps, I hate to use stuff other people can't just run out and get if they like it. I still think SU! makes great stuff, I've just fallen away from the massive buy, buy, buy because it won't be here if you don't mentality. Of course I buy, buy, buy from other companies now!

I too have given up on my SU! stamps. I have sold some, and am ready to give the rest away. I just don't use them. ok, except for one or two. I always ruin what I am working on because I stamp crooked!!! Anyway, good luck with that. and hopefully you are striking a good balance between all that you are juggling because I love seeing what you create every day! Have a wonderful weekend!

VERY cute. I have that cupcake too. I need to use it. I love what you did. The colors are awesome!!!

You know I have a lot of SU stuff. I still like them and will prob. never get rid of them because I love what I have. I never buy buy buy even if I'm a demo. I've never bought a set that's going to retire or an old set either that I forgot to get. Was never interested. But I will let go of my demoship after babe gets here and will still buy here and there. There are so many cute ones out there it'll be so sad for a hobbyist (or should we call ourselves addicts?) to just buy from one place.

Have a great weekend! I've been lessening my blog time... well just cause I haven't created as many either - you know why :) I only blog hop regularly to my goodies and oldies and the other here and there + my DT. Busy busy. I know how that is even if I don't have the 2 hr commute. Wow girl, amazing on that!!!! I have a 10 min. one. It use to be 2 min. then we got retarded and moved to the country :)

As always - fantastic card, Amy!! I hear ya on the juggling work, life, and our card making passion! I don't even have kids and I find it hard to keep up sometimes, so I'm in awe of those that work, have kids, and still manage to crank out cards. Way to go!!
Have a great weekend!

You are incredible with time management! My commute isn't as long, but I never seem to get even half as much done as you! The cupcake ties in so well with that granny paper from SEI - glad I could enable you for a change!
