New Challenge at Lia Stampz! Food!

Hey guys!  There's a new challenge at Lia Stampz! This fortnight, we want to see food on your projects! FOOD FIGHT! :D

The winner of the challenge an awesome digi called cupcake (you can get it at Whimsy Stamps here). I used this digi on my card here:

Inked up the cutie patootie in Copic markers.  Popped him up on some die cuts.  Paper is from the Sweet Stack from DCWV.  The tag stamp is from an old retired Stampin Up set.  Satin ribbon and linen thread also from Stampin Up!

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Angry Bird Cupcakes

A couple of weeks ago I had a young gal pal of mine ask me to make her birthday cake.  She said she wanted Angry Birds.  Here's what I came up with:

(my kitty adds extra credit to the picture!)

I made rainbow cupcakes (just make the batter for a white cake and divide it into 5 bowls and tint each bowl a different color.  spoon each color into a muffin tin and bake as usual).  I topped them off with homemade buttercream.  The picks I got inspiration from Dixie Delights and Crafty Kylie.  They were used by hand cutting (beaks, eyebrows, mustaches) and Stampin Up punches (2 step bird, owl punch, circle punches).  They didn't take as long as I expected!  Much easier than trying to shape them in fondant or pipe them.  I also added some flowers with some MPS cupcake stamp sentiments.

The whole crew.

When you take a bite!  I used red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.  I think I could've fit a violet in there too... next time, I guess!

Entering this in the Creative Card Crew's anything goes challenge, Decorate to Celebrate's anything goes challenge and the I Did it Creations anything goes challenge.

Hope you guys like em!  My young gal pal sure did! :)

Red Cupcake Card

Today is a very ugly, ugly day in Hawaii nei.  Really bad thunderstorm.  My power went out this morning and when I was driving to the office all of the street lights were out.  Thank God people drive with Aloha when that happens!  Last night my toilet went on the fritz as well.  As I was about to fall asleep, my valve just erupted and sprayed water and flooded my entire bathroom.  Thankfully, my husband (being in the Navy) recognized the sound of rushing water and was there in a flash.  Lol, I thought it was the sprinklers going off or something!  So lots of cleaning in the middle of the night... and wet kitty litter sucks to clean...

Anywho,  my guy pal in Washington had a bad day yesterday.  It was his birthday and he was nowhere near friends or family.  He also got a call that his grandfather passed away, so when I contacted him to wish him a Happy Birthday, he was just about to jump on a plane home to Florida.  Poor thing.  On a happier note, I sent him this card which will be waiting for him when he gets back:

The cupcake was cut out with the Smiley Cards cartridge.  The sentiment is to remind him of a very unfortunate incident that scared the living daylights out of him when he ate cupcakes a few months ago at my husband's birthday party.  They looked like this:

Aside from the Sucker Punch picks (made with the Indie Art cartridge), I'm sure you can figure out what happened to him after he had a few of these cupcakes... LOL!

A Happy Mother's Day and MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenges 1, 2, 3, 5, 7

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!  Including ones with fur babies!

I glued and inked until my knuckle bones were exposed and I still have a lot to do!  Here are my submissions for mypinkstamper.com's National Scrapbook Day challenges.

(((And HOORAY I found my digi camera! It's been lost since Girl Scout camp! Lol!)))

Challenge 1: Something with a cupcake 

All stamps, paper, and ribbon by SU!

Challenge 2: Use Kraft card stock

The digi stamp was taken from the Outlawz.  It's the digi stamp that I messed up a few days ago and turned out muddy!  Also, my Smooch Spritz nozzle was broken!  It ended up splashing the entire card!  I figured that it hides my bad coloring well! LOL!  I had to transfer my Smooch Spritz liquid to a mister.  Ugh.  

Challenge 3: Breast Cancer

Used pink and brown for a breast cancer theme.  Everything is SU! except for the background paper which is from the Martha Stewart school stack.

Challenge 5: 3-D item

Chocolate bar holder/slider.  Everything is by SU!

Challenge 7: Scrapbook Page

I don't make scrapbook pages.  You can see why!  12 inches is just too much for one sitting for me.  I kept this uber short and simple with just some Cricut cuts from Sugar & Spice and some pink rectangles for photos.  Since I don't do scrapbook pages, I'm going to donate this page to a gal who is collecting scrapbook pages on Stampin Connection to donate to a family who just gave birth to a baby girl that is hydrocephalic. 

Need to get back to work! I will post the other projects once I'm through!
