Just Because

Hey y'all! Raise your hand if you've got some sweet Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps! Now raise your hand if you've been using them to enter our challenges! Woo hoo!!! And if you don't have any of these whimsically delicious stamps, now's your chance... Sparkle is having a vacation sale... all eight of the first release stamps are on sale for 10% off through August 1st!! You can get all the deets on the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps blog.

 We have a fun inspiration challenge this week at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps... create a card/project inspired by the picture above.

I don't know about you, but the first thing that popped in my mind was DESSERT! Oh, how I love dessert. It's really a weakness, especially ice cream. So I reached for cutie patootie Cupcake Ruby, who just so happens to have the largest cupcake I've ever seen!

For my card, I turned the Friday Sketchers Sketch #112 on its side. The cardstock, DP and button are from the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients kit I received for FREE for subscribing to the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients kits for six months. Isn't that cool? I can't tell you who the DP is by, though. If someone recognizes it, please let me know!

That gorgeous crocheted flower is another by my super talented friend Kim Yu. I used a bit of white acrylic paint around the edges of the DP to give it a bit more interest and definition.

I can't wait to see what you create with Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps!!! One lucky participant in this week's challenge will win Turntable Josh, which is one of my faves.

Enjoy!
