Friday Mashup #20-Sweet as a Button...

...and cute as a CUPCAKE!  Good morning!!!  Friday is here and with it the "Friday Mashup" Challenge!  This week is a cute challenge, featuring Cupcakes (my favourite) and buttons (which is something I always forget to add!)  I used brads instead!



Create a project using Buttons .
Create a project featuring "Cupcakes".
or "Mash it Up!" and create a project with Cupcakes & Buttons!

I inked up an old favourite using new colours!  Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade...those colours scream "BIRTHDAY" to me!!!  Happy and cheerful, the new In Colours are so much fun to play with!!!

I paper pieced the cupcake with Designer Paper and smooched spritzed the top of my cupcake to make it sparkle.  The Designer Paper is the new In Colour Paper Pack and see those fun brads...they are new In Colour brads in Lucky Limeade!!!  The sentiment comes from the Petite Pairs stamp set, this is a MUST HAVE because all the sentiments fit in the Oval punches which I think is awesome!!!!

We hope that you will join the Friday Mashup Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

    Your new Blog Design is super cute, Great new Banner! Love your Mashup Card this week. I bet that sparkle on your icing is very pretty. We used the same set & Calypso Coral ! I think that color is growing on me.

    Hi Lesley!

    Wow, this card is stunning. I instantly loved the Lucky Limeade when it came out but the Calypso Coral wasnt a favorite of mine...your card definitely makes me rethink that! I am really liking the DSP you used.

    Thanks for the nice comments you left me! I do believe we drove through Dawson City when we moved to Alaska. It sure sounds familiar.Isnt it a really small town?

    BTW, your blog header is fantastic! You did that with MDS? Wow!!

    Wow, these two colours together are fantastic. Such a fun card! Brads are my "go to" embellishment - I always want to sew my buttons on when I use them - so I don't reach for them right away.
    Have a great weekend!
    Hugs

    Hi Lesley, You have carried off this weeks challenge brilliantly. Love your card. While Lucky Limeade is definitely not on my favourite colours list I really like Calypso Coral and you've used it beautifully.

    Cheers,
    Kasey
