Happy Birthday 2 U... Oh, not your birthday? Well you can enjoy this card anyway. ;) Here is my card for the new Cupcake Inspiration Challenge sponsored by Hope Stamps Eternal.

I have to say, I am really digging this weeks inspiration photo...I just wish I had a better selection of strawberry papers to choose from. I did manage to find one in my stash, its an older K&Co. pattern that sorta fits with the color scheme. The rest of the papers (the dots and the green) are from the Cosmo Cricket line Garden Variety. I only have a couple of the patterns, and now I wish I had all of them, they are really fun!

And I am using the Making Memories ribbon again this week, I have officially run out though, how sad. :( I am sure that many of you have a hard time purchasing things like ribbon online, but I have to say this ribbon is a STEAL, 2 yards for only $1.29! You cant get that price at the big box stores for Making Memories ribbon!

Oh and how exciting is this, Hope Stamps Eternal is now carrying the EK Success slim punches!! For this card I used the Arrow border punch, it is one of my favorites, I must use it on every other card, more often than my scallops and I have two to choose from of those. ;)

Well, now that you have seen what I came up with this week, why not head on over to see what everyone else made this week. Thanks for joining us for another Cupcake Inspiration Challenge!!
