I am Crazy for Cupcakes

I have a few favourite sets from SU’s current catalogue and one of them is Crazy for Cupcakes. I have more than got my money’s worth from this set. There are lots of layers to this card and balloons on the inside. I had strings hanging from the balloons but it looked very busy, so I ditched the strings.

Hey Kim – you are looking for a pop-up cake. I tried it once and wasn’t thrilled by it. Mine didn’t seem to pop up very well and didn’t look “clean” (even, lined up, etc. – remember I am a ruler girl). I am going to have to play with it again – but it is very fiddly. If you want to borrow it, just yell.

I have a Lesson Learned for you all. Keep your drinks away from your crafting area. I guess it was a good excuse to tidy up – but I knocked over a half empty (or full) coffee. It was getting cold and I should have moved it but nooooo….. It seeped into everything, the sugar in the coffee made my desk sticky and cold coffee stinks! The only thing that was ruined though was the outer shell for my SU Markers. I had to cut the colour chart off and hang it up to dry – the rest of the base was ruined.

And lastly, when I was in high school I had a choice of taking French or Italian as a second language. I think French is mandatory now but back then we had a choice. I went to school in a predominantly Italian neighbourhood in downtown Toronto and wanted to fit in – so I took Italian. I think I can still count to ten and say some general greetings but that is about it now. So I headed to Chapters and bought a set of tapes on Italian for travelers. I have 5 months to learn how say, “How Much” and “Where are the toilets”. I figure these are the two most important phrases to learn.

That is it for me. Hope you all have a great Easter Sunday and that the Easter Bunny is good to you.
