Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #117

Good morning stamping friends.  I hope your Sunday is going along wonderfully!  Since it's Sunday, it's time for another Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.  I always look forward to Sunday's and the CIC is a big reason why!  Let's get started, shall we?  Here's what I created from our latest inspiration cupcakes...


Tada!  Can we all say 'gaudy'???  I put tons of stuff on here.  Well... tons of stuff for me!!  haha!  I really got carried away, didn't I?  Oh well... it sure was fun!!  Let's take a look at our inspiration photo for this week...


Kewl, right!?  And just perfect for our fun and fab U.S. celebrations of the 4th of July.  I hope you have great plans for that holiday.  Not big ones on my end, but will spending the day with my mom, brother and granddaughter.  Of course, she'll want to do fireworks and I won't blame her at all.  I wanted the same thing when I was her age.


Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Glitterbabe Digis.  They generous provided some images for the DT to play with.  I went with the 'birdhouse' and it's sentiment.  Please take the time to jump over to the CIC blog and check out all the other team member's creations.  They are all inspiring!!  And... one lucky random winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to spend at their on-line store.

This is PERFECT!!! Not at all gaudy! I can show you a gaudy card ;) lol!!! Funny thing, the one I think is gaudy is one I created with a birdhouse style card as well. Perhaps they were meant to be that way.. or more eclectic maybe? Whatever it may be, yours is beautiful. I love the colors and the pop of red! Those sweet butterflies and pearls and the key with the new home sentiment. LOVE IT!!

So happy you were able to join us this week at Freshly Brewed Challenges photo inspiration challenge.
