"Oops"

Good Evening Everyone! I have one more card to share tonight and then that is it for a few days! LOL! This adorable image is by The Stamping Boutique, Audrey With A Cupcake! Isn't she just the sweetest image? I seem to be in need of birthday cards (actually belated birthday cards... hence the Oops). LOL! This card was inspired by a sketch / challenge that my local stamp club had on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at The Stamp Shoppe. Each month we get together and have a blast! We go home with a sketch to follow and then share at the next month's meeting. Each one comes with a theme, also. This one was to incorporate a tag somewhere in your creation or have an extra gift tag that matched the card. As you can see that I have included my tag on my creation! I wish I could show you the sketch that Peggy created for us to follow, but the copy that I was given... I wrote some notes on and didn't want to show all of you my chicken scratching! LOL!

I will be entering this creation into a new challenge, well it is new to me over at The Paper Variety Challenge Blog. This weeks creation was to include a cupcake in your creation and I thought this would be a wonderful card to go along with the challenge! The only other rule that I have found is that you must incorporate paper in your creation! So for all of us that is easy!! The deadline date and time is Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 11am CST. You have plenty of time to come up with a cupcake creation and get it linked up! The Design Team has some really awesome inspiration, so if you have time come on over and check them out!
