Celebrate Cupcake Tag

Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug, and this is a total switch in gears after the all the Christmas. Today is a photo inspiration with a color challenge.  For this card, I used the Celebrate Cupcake Tag and right now it's only $1.  I dry embossed the background with birthday sentiments and then sprayed it with Glimmer Mist. It has a nice sparkle which doesn't photograph well.

Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and it's a Recipe (2 Patterned Papers, 2 ribbons and 2 buttons). For my card, I used the image Critter balloons - elephant along with a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I did a layer of Crakle Accent and then Glossy Accent on the balloon. Check out to see what all the other DT members made.
I was talking to my Mom (who is retired) and asked her if she had sent a birthday card to her sister and she said "No, I've been too busy to go buy one."  She hates to ask me to make cards for her because she says I'm too busy with working and everything. However, since I make cards it irritates me that she purchases cards and I have to make my DT cards anyway.  So I offered to make her some as time permits to increase her stash of birthday and sympathy cards which seems to be her need.

Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and the theme is Something Yummy.  I used the image JJC Thanksgiving and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  In less than two weeks in the US we will be having Thanksgiving and many will be having a turkey. I am looking forward to this since now that I am alone...I don't cook like I used to when my husband and kids were around.  This morning I woke up to the ground being covered in snow so the weather has changed to being COLD.
