Cupcake Crazy!!

As many of you know, I like to 'play' about and make things other than cards quite often! Well...when Shaz from Funky Fairys Papercrafts launched a fabulous new paper kit called 'Cupcake Crazy' I just knew what I wanted to make!!
A few weeks ago I found a fabby template that I just had to have!! It's from Papertrey Ink and is sooo delish...not to mention the contents! The Ferrero Rocher have made a comeback!! And yes! They are the same ones from the last project!!! Aren't I good??? ^.^ There are so many scrummy things in the Cupcake Crazy kit it's hard to use it all!!! Soooo many papers, images, sentiments, popcorn boxes, party invites and so much more!!!
Now...off you go and take a peek...you know you want to!!!
Oh and I've even installed a 'free ride' to save your legs! Just click on the image with 'Shaz' at the bottom of this post! I'm sooo good to you!! ^.^

Never mind...it's Monday and that means a new Cute Daisy May challenge! Yip!

oooo Circles oooo

Morning all! ^.^
This weeks Cute Daisy May challenge is something that I find myself going in quite often!!! Circles!!
The Carousel scalloped note has been stamped (wheeled) with my Stampin' Up! Seeing Spots wheel. I have secured the flowers to the back and pulled them forward through the scallops. The image is another gorgeous Cute Daisy May fairy, to which I have made the skirt 3D by using two layers of net and a top layer of vellum...and her wings have been coloured using a Gold Krylon pen (also the wand) and then layered with vellum and Dazzling Diamonds.
Hope you all have a fabby day xx
