a card to share ...

Good morning ...

Today is the add-on reveal over at Sketch Support. We got to work with a super cute cupcake and I decided to make a card with it:

Happy Birthday card
Supply list - Patterned Paper: October Afternoon, Jillibean Soup, Fancy Pants, Bella Boulevard, Scenic Route; Alphabets: Carolee's Creations; Tools: Fiskars Scallop Sentiment border punch, Creative Memories circle punches, Creative Memories circle cutting system; Twine: Jillibean Soup; Ink: Vibrance; Buttons: Unknown

This card was completely made with scraps from my scrap bin. I really mixed up the manufacturers (something I am not very good at doing, I usually stick with the same line of paper per project) but I think this turned out great ... The cupcake is made entirely with circles - what an easy and fun way to quickly make a cupcake.

It's a short but sweet post from me today - I am suffering from a migraine (it feels like I've had this for a couple of weeks). I cannot believe how painful a migraine is! I can barely get up to walk - the pressure/pounding is almost unbearable. I just took some Aspirin so hopefully that does the trick ... or else I may have to spend the day in bed!

Thanks for the visit .. and thanks to Scenic Route for posting my blog as a great source of inspiration on their Facebook page ... really, I am touched and feel very honoured!!

I hope you have a fabulous Monday!
