I am so excited to be a Princess! And so very excited to have a castle on The Royal Blog Tour! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I have chosen the stamp set Crazy For Cupcakes to be my featured stamp set. I like this set it is very veratile good for women, men, children & even your favorite pet! I would love to hear your comments. Also at the end of this post is all of the information about the BLOG CANDY I am offering!
After you have seen all there is to see you can board your coach and continue down this Royal Path by clicking on one of the ruby glass slippers below."
This is a great birthday card, It features Melon Mambo cardstock, Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.
This is a Fancy Favor Box cut out with my Big Shot die cut machine. It makes everything so easy!
With this die you can make birthday, wedding or baby shower favors so quick you won't believe it!
I wanted to change it up a bit so here is my little birdhouse card added the baloons from Crazy for Cupcakes printed a saying on My Digital Studio and I was set to go!
The saying says "A Little birdie told me it was your birthday"
This idea just popped into my head, and the Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon just makes it pop!
My friend Karen said I could not use Crazy for Cupcakes for a man! Well what man turns down chocolate chip cookies???
This one is really just SWEET!
Made from the Large Scallop Circle die and my Big Shot!
Too cute!
BLOG CANDY GIVE AWAY!
This is an older BRAND NEW set called Terrific Tulips. It is a 2 step stampin set & it is one of my all time favorites and it can be yours if you leave me a comment with your email address included your name will be put into a drawing when the tour is over & your name will be posted on my blog! Good luck!
I hope you've enjoyed your visit to my Castle. You can board your coach and continue down this Royal Path by clicking on one of the ruby glass slippers below."
