It is time for another challenge at Simon Says Stamps Challenge and as always we are sponsored by Heidi who is generously offering a $50 credit voucher for the Simon Says Stamp store!!
Our challenge this week is Mother's Day/Girly - perfect with Mother's Day fast approaching (can't WAIT for my lie in LOL - I desparately need one!!!) The design team are all showcasing Basic Grey products this week so if you have any we'd love to see them but it is not essential to take part!
Where's my Basic Grey products?? LOL, OK, they're really tiny but they are non-the-less by Basic Grey!! - it's the chocolate drops (buttons). I absolutely love Basic Grey buttons purely because of the really tiny cute ones you always get in them LOL!!! These particular ones are from the Curio set.
I have made another cupcake!! They are so addictive and I love making them!! I've had this idea in mind for a long while now of making the cupcake into a gift container rather than a gift card holder and this is what I came up with as a little extra gift for Kara's birthday. Of course it had to be pink - she is a pink girl!! I used the gorgeous Magnolia Starlit paper from the fairytale collection for the cupcake case and topped it with lashings of "buttercream" in the form of some very wide satin ribbon from my stash.
I added some gorgeous Prima Athena flowers and - my favourite, and some Prima e-line flowers, along with a few paper blooms from my stash.

I absolutely love Basic Grey buttons purely because of the really tiny cute ones you always get in them LOL!!! These particular ones are from the Curio set.I only used half a ball for this cupcake so that I could create a place inside for a small gift - in this case I filled it with lots of yummy sweets (Kara got to them before I could take my photo - it holds a lot more than this LOL!)
Hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this week at Simon Says Stamp's challenge! Pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the team's stunning creations! Thanks for looking! x
