Sketch time! So sweet

Happy Saturday!! I have in my opinion, a great sketch for you! It can make quick and cute cards, and maybe even use up some of those scraps!

Sorry I don’t have much chatter today. Im EXHAUSTED. My mojo is now on empty-and Im typing this late at night. It was either post now-or not till maybe LATE. I  know many of you stalk the sketches (AWE! THANKS) so had to get it up and done.

Who doesn’t love cupcakes?

This CUPCAKE  stamp is from Lizzie Anne. I think its such a great size cupcake. I sponged the top of the cupcake in red. I was inspired by some cupcakes I was so wanting at the Bakery! But I resisted. Good Lauren. When I went to color my sprinkles it didn’t show. The red just absorbed the colors. I was SOOOOO bummed because I wanted them to match that YUMMY paper by K & Co. I took my white singlo gel pen, and colored the sprinkles. When they dried I colored over the white with my Copic marker’s! Problem solved.

I re-stamped the bottom of the cupcake on vellum cardstock to make it look like a paper on the bottom of the cupcake. Pretty cute.

The acetate tag was stamped with Celebration Frames in white Stazon. It’s not crooked, and I dont know why it appears that way-but felt I had to justify that! LOL!

  I had fun with this one, and I hope you will too. Feel free to substitute the circle for another shape. If you get to try it send us a link, so we can see what your take on it is.

I have a busy week here.

Jason’s best friend is expecting his first baby, and I need to help with the shower. Never a dull a day I tell you.

I do have some great stuff to share through the week too-so I hope you check in again :D

Till tomorrow

Lauren

    “good Lauren” that was so funny that you put that in there! And I love your cupcake. If I saw that at a bakery, I would have a hard time resisting it too. I’ll be participating in your sketch! Tomorrow though, after my yard sale. No rest for the weary, right?

    Love your cupcake card! I’ve been wanting this stamp! Just waiting for All that Scraps to have it IN STOCK. I also have that K&co paper! I love it! Got it at Target. I really like how you sponged the top - looks like the airbrushing they do on the tops of the cupcakes! My students always think when it’s somone’s birthday we HAVE to have cupcakes! Oftentimes we do- makes me feel bad for the student’s whose parents just bring regular snacks - or gasp none! Hopefully I will find time to try your sketch. We just got a new kitten so adding that is making my life even more crazy - I am sure you can relate :).

    Nice sketch Lauren! I love that LAD cupcake, I have used it many times! I hope I’ll have time to play.

    Great sketch. I LOVE the colors, sprinkles, vellum, paper, and your genius idea of covering and coloring the sprinkles on top…waaaay smart. Have fun at the shower and TFS.

    OK I admit it….I’m one of THOSE stalkers….rofl! This is a fantastic sketch! I really wanted to be able to use some of my CC Design stamps that I already had to start my gallery on ATS….this sketch is PERFECT for those little guys!
    That cupcake card looks so yummy! Your colouring is FANTASTIC girl!
    Have a wonderful Saturday!! I’m still on cloud 9 ;)

    oh I have an idea that popped right into my head for this sketch! I will try to find time to make it later and hopefully it will turn out something like I am imagining. LOL! I think you are super-smart to have thought to color your sprinkles white so the colors you wanted would show. Great idea Lauren!

    Cute as usual. Hopefully, I’ll finally get some stamp time this week.

    Total cuteness! Love the card - it’s adorable.
    You do sound tired. You’re not burning the candle at both ends, are you? Try and get some rest, if you can.
    Big hugs to all of you! Have an awesome day!

    I am late on the Saturday sketch. I guess it’s more of a Sunday sketch for me…lol It was so nice out this weekend. I played outside with the kids from morning til night. Minus that afternoon nap! :) When they drug theirselves in their bed, I rushed downstairs to stamp. Here’s what I came up with:
