This weeks Tuesday morning sketch challenge is cupcake wars and since its fall; I decided to make pumpkin spice cupcakes displayed in an autumn showcase display with matching card. The display includes a cornucopia with several different types of squashes, straw, leaves, with an added framed wheat to complete the harvest theme. The cupcakes were made from a spice cake mix substituting 2 cups of canned pumpkin for the liquid. the cupcake papers are fall theme and the frosting is cream cheese, however since the cupcakes need no frosting I’ve showcased two un- frosted.

The cornucopia stamp has no name and the cupcake stamp is from a set by Sunday International.

frog in snow

Let it snow let it snow let it snow…. that’s easy to say when it was 80 outside yesterday… but snow is the theme of the Penny Black Saturday challenge.. and i couldn’t find my penny black winter stamps today…. maybe i need to clean mu stamp room?

The frog is Penny black, the snowglobe ,flakes , and ‘joy’ are Stampin up. The background paper is from a stack.. i like snow cards better than snow.

i added a ribbon to it for mojo monday… is it better?

HB Mike

Soon, its my bosses birthday…. so i needed a fisherman’s card. The stamp is from Aunteamy,. the wood grain emboss plate is from.Sizzix. I didn’t have exactly the right size cutting die so the edges are cut with ‘fancy’ deckle sissors. I sponged a frame with ink. Although the sketch had a ribbon… just didn’t think ribbon was rustic enough so the fish takes the place of a bow! Mojo sketc 163 below.

frog and triangles

Its Saturday so I’m up early doing a penny black Saturday challenge. since I’m tired of Halloween themes so I’m back to frogs. the theme is triangles or zigzag…. think I incorporated lots of those. the cute balloon frog, of course , is penny black chalked for color with and added pink ribbon, then used cuttlebug for the diamond background and spellbinder nesties to cut the frog pic. happy Halloween eve.
