Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #90

Edit:  This card won Top 3 honors at Aud Sentiments challenge #18.

Happy Sunday morning folks!  I hope your weekend is going well.  Are you still baking Christmas goodies, or wrapping the presents, or shopping?!?!?  Not me... I haven't started these things yet!  I know!!!  But, I don't have tons to do this year, so it should be fine.  {fingers crossed}.


As you know, if it's Sunday, it's time for another Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.  Let me tell you, you're going to love this week's inspiration!!  I know I did!!  This is my take on the challenge.  And this is the inspiration...

 

Isn't he just wonderful?  I don't know where Rachel, our leader extraordinaire, found this but it's awesome!!  And perfect for our last challenge before Christmas.  He's got the happiest face, doesn't he??  Now the image I decided to go with is from Sassy Cheryl's .  I just thought he was one great santa!  Oh... and by the way, Sassy Cheryl's is having a Merry Christmas sale from today until December 24th

 

This image was so fun to color up.  But the rest of the card was very, very frustrating!  Of course, no one's fault but my own.  I couldn't decided which DP to use, then accessorizing wasn't working out very easily as I was using a different sentiment which was a little longer than this one and just didn't look right no matter how many ways I changed it around!!  Whew, that was quite a sentence!!  So, I selected a smaller sentiment and things began to go a little better.  Not much, but a little!  {smile}


Our sponsor this week is http://www.sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/">Sparkle Creations.  They are not only offering a Cupcake Ruby stamp to the random winner, but also 10% off to those who participate in our challenge.  Great, eh??  So, no excuses... come on and play!

Hi there

I am thrilled you have joined in my "Free and Easy" theme at Allsorts this fortnight and confess to being astounded by the huge response this weekend.

I usually like to visit every entry and say a few words about their creations, but the sheer volume so far along with the Christmas preparations we all have to juggle means this is a "copied and pasted" message, for which I apologise.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and wonderful holiday time.
