Sites of the week

It feels like I just did a TCP Tuesday post…wait a minute, I did! LOL! Those few days off last week was a much needed break, as I really was not feeling well. I am STILL trying to shake the cough and relying on strong meds to let me sleep without coughing. I am feeling quite a bit better, though. Thank you all for the well wishes via comments and email. Hugs to you all!

Well, it’s Tuesday and time for another TCP Tuesday challenge. If you haven’t jumped on board with these challenges yet, this is your chance! This week’s challenge is a color challenge… orange, pink and chocolate brown. YUM-O! The specific colors I chose to use are Pumpkin Pie, Pixie Pink and Chocolate Chip from Stampin’ Up! You do not have to use SU! colors, it just happens to be what I have most of. As for the super fun layout, you probably recognize it from Taylor’s Cupcake Challenge from this past Friday. I punched out some extra circles and gave them to Ellie. She’s been running around with them calling them her “olka-dots.” That may have to take over for “fufferly” because she actually says “butterfly” now {sniff, sniff!!} LOL!

The image and sentiment are from The Cat’s Pajamas {of course!}. I embossed the Pixie Pink panel and circle on the main panel with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder.

As for my finishing details on this card, I used the new SU! scallop edge punch on the Pixie Pink panel. I also added some brown brads to the corners. On the main panel, I used a paper piercer and template to create a border. The right side of the card has rounded corners to mimic all the rounded edges all over the rest of the card. Finally, I used my clear Spica glitter pen to glaze over the “icing.”
