Hi everyone!
I know I’ve been cut short this week, but as I said I do have some family responsibilities to tend to with my mother. I don’t want to share too much about my mom, but she still needs me in so many ways right now. We have a lot coming up with her and all I can tell you is that it is very physically and emotionally draining. I am finding the hardest part about owning your own company is the inability to “call in sick” or take some time off! LOL! So I’m running frazzled.
Any-who….let’s just get to the eye-candy!! (I am praying my day goes as planned so I can have my video up for tomorrow!)
Today is the first exclusive project post for our newest design team member Stephanie Kraft
I’m sure you are falling in love with her style already!
Here is what Stephanie Kraft did

When I first saw the Take Time Pocket © I thought of all of the spa gifts that I like to give away and how wonderful it would be to package them using this template! I was browsing in Target, looking for some of bath and body products, and instead I found this end-cap full of Hello Kitty products… my 6-year-old DD loves the Kitty as much as I do, so I bought a few of these girly items and transformed this into a little Easter gift for her.
Now it is my turn to share!
Upon speaking with one of my design team members, Mona Pendleton – she mentioned how cute the Pick of the Petals © would be as a CUPCAKE!! ( Now if you see her blog name you will know WHY she thinks this way :D) I thought it was a fabulous idea, and was so dying to see her take on it! Well, as you know sometimes you just have to go where the mojo leads, and Mona didn’t get to create the cupcake she mentioned, so I asked her if it was OK for me to give a try! She agreed, so away I went (OH! and when I saw that Katie and I did almost the exact same thing I had to chuckle! Great minds….)
Without further delay…..here is my take on the idea
A Lil’ Cupcake
How cute can this get?
I kept it pretty SIMPLE since I kept envisioning birthday party favors!! I plan on adding 2 Bangerang Cupcakes in a Jar to this!
I created my bottom from some Brown Paper Packages cardstock (it has a lined texture to it (unseen in photos), making it perfect for a chocolate cupcake!
I stamped my sentiment from the Just For You © set on the “cupcake” bottom. I love it!
PS: Stamp your sentiment PRIOR to putting this together! (I did mine AFTER! DUH!!)
Now the TOP
I printed my lid using the polka-dots from the Shutterfly © collection of Pretty Printables Digital Paper. Made it super easy and fun!
Most cupcakes have a cheery on top….I made this
I just stamped the cupcake from the Just For You © set. Colored it and added crystal effects to the top. Once dry, I punched it out and layered it to a super large white button center, then again onto a scallop layer! BAM! My own epoxy embellishment. I think it is way cuter than the traditional cherry on top 😀
Super simple, super sweet!
Sure to make SOMEONE happy on their birthday.

The cupcake packagaing is delightful.
It would make a lovely gift at any time, not just for birthdays.

I am a newbie…Just recently read the story of your daughter, wondering about any updates there. I did not know your Mom was ill also. I am very sorry to hear this. I am disabled and need help from my daughter from time to time also. I know some of this will increase over time, and it worries me. None of us want to become burdens to our children.
I’ll be adding your mom, daughter and family to my prayers.
The boxes are lovely. 🙂
Hugs,
Susan
What a sweet little cupcake box. Thanks for taking the time out to share it with us. Take the time you need for your family, really girl, we will just stalk your blog till you come back !!LOL.
Beautiful! Prayers for you and your mom.
Beautiful projects! I know how hard it is to take of elderly family members and your own family. You and your family are in my prayers.
Lauren your cup cake is delicious and could also be a mushroom/toadstool.
Take the time for family – a business is a second priority when family is concerned-I lost my mum a couple of years ago and miss her dearly- use the time you have for family while you can- people who don’t undertsand don’t deserve your dedication. my thoughts are with you all and I think we are all here for your support when you need us.
Love the project but especially the “Lauren-made” epoxy cupcake embellishment!
Take the time you need, Lauren. Your family comes first. We will all be here when things settle back in for you. You will never get the time back again, so make the most of it while you need to.
Gorgeous Lauren 🙂 Love your color combo & your lil’ embellishment fancied on top!

At this time I am going to do my breakfast, later than having my breakfast coming
yet again to read additional news.
Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored to death at work
so I decided too browse your site on my iphone during lunch break.
I really like the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look
when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone ..
I’m not even usimg WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, fantastic blog!

When looking at being a agent perhaps the most important skill you need to have is
advertising yourself. Today you will find marketing consultants that can help online and offline businesses succeed
while using internet. And, wherever they are presented,
they’re able to draw in large audience that may
convert to large volumes of traffic.
You’ll spend some of that time online answering emails and processing orders, but you’ll be running your
own online business. Helping homework regain its utility and
helping students shift perspectives on assignments, individualized tutoring can eradicate
poor habits, encourage the growth of lifelong study skills,
and create a happier relationship between children and their own education. Looking back
now, I realize that it eventually occurred to us that
we couldn’t find anything, things were getting broken or lost and there literally
was no room left on the floor to play.
Their company is a finish scam and they do not care about
their prospects. I do not endorse this merchandise to any individual unless
you want to be falsely informed of different policies
and charged a ridiculous fee for pills that will not even do the job.
