The frosting on the (cup)cake is one lucky gal who creates for all nine challenges will win her choice of 5 of the January releases or a $75 gift certificate. Wahoo!! I rubbing my Buddha's belly as I type this :)

I wasn't sure if I have time to to get to all nine challenge. With school cancelled due to the ice storm, I think I will. Keep your fingers crossed. I plan to update my blog after I finish each challenge. The deadline to complete all nine challenges is tomorrowing evening, so there's a good chance I'll be in the drawing. Yea!!

So, drumroll please...

Challenge TECC53TV:


Here's my first card. Cupcakes are encouraged, so I may have to use the same stamps for a few of the challenges since my cupcake supply is low. It may be interesting to see the same stamp used in nine different ways. Hmm...maybe another challenge!

I used Liquid Applique as the cupcake's frosting and added some beads as the sprinkles. I just love how it turned out! The middle cupcake is on pop dots to allow it to stand out a bit more. My navy layer was embossed and I rubbed white ink over the dots to make them pop a bit more.
