Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #110

Welcome stamping friends.  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all those who have taken on this tough but rewarding occupation!!  I hope you've had a fabulous day.  It sure feels like I've been away a very long time, but it's just been a week!!  It was a very long week for me.  I had training Tuesday through Friday in Kansas City which is 35 miles away.  I was totally wiped out by the end of Friday!!  My brain was stuffed full of new information and I think a bit of it leaked right back out again!!  haha!  Yesterday I went out to my mom's a day early as both my sisters and little brother were coming down to visit her.  That meant we were all there to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day (my other brother lives with Mom to help take care of her).  I think the day meant a lot to her.  I know I had a great day spending it with them.  Today I've felt like I had a touch of something.  All I wanted to do was sleep and I've done plenty of that this day.

Now... I am finally getting my Sunday post posted!!  So sorry to be late, but it just couldn't be helped this time.  Now... on to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.  This is another fun one so hope you'll be able to play along with us.  Here my card...

And the inspiration for this week...

So adorable AND springy, isn't it?  Fun bright and bold colors, flowers and those little bees!  Soooo cute!  What would you come up with from this cupcake inspiration??

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Glitterbabes.  They have a great selection of digital images that I think you'll love.  The imageI used on my card were generously shared by Glitterbabes.  I had great fun coloring them up.  They are called 'dahlias' and come with the sentiment included on my card.  It really make quite a striking card whether you go bright or pastel.  The random winner of this week's challenge will receive two images of their choice from Glitterbabes!!  Incentive enough, isn't it??  : )
