Olympic Fever


Well the Olympics started and I'm slightly infatuated with most prime time events. I've been trying to stay off the sites that leave spoiler alerts about who won or did well or didn't do well, but I just couldn't stop the one time my husband came home from work and told me about what he heard on the radio, in a long about way he finished with the results of the event I was watching.



Skipping Stones Design is featuring Cupcake Cutie this month, the absolutely adorable set that allows you to "build" your own cupcake and has the most fun sentiments. Although this card isn't a re-make or re-do of the last card I posted, I do like it much better! Thank you to those that offered advice! Skipping Stones Design has another inspiration picture up for their weekly challenge, you can check out all the details on the Skipping Stones Design Blog! Please stop by to see the amazing samples from the design team, too! I was mainly inspired by the block of colors and fun elements, how will you be inspired?

  28. I know how annoying that is.... that's the trouble with too much coverage I think!!!
