Yipppeeee!!! And a very happy Friday to each of you!!! I hope you have had a marvelous week and are prepared and more than ready for a great weekend!! I have had a wonderful week--I am finally back into the swing of things with going to the gym every day so I think I am on my way back to normalcy--whatever that is!! hahahha
This week at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge we are hosted by the very talented Mindy who has provided us a really fun challenge--to use PINK/PURPLE/PEARLS on our card or project. There are two fabulous prizes this week...So come on over and play along with us!!!! We would love to see your creations!!
For my DT Sample Card I made an easel card using Bazzill for the base and all double matting; the DP is from the Wild Rose Studio Lilac Mist Paper Stack; and all background panels are machine stitched. I used the cute little Tilda with Straw Hat from Magnolia-licious, coloring her with Copics and a touch of Stickles and Prisma Glitter. She was double matted with Nesties. For the vertical I used a pleated satin and topped it with 12mm (1/2") Lilac Satin Ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts, tying it into a double flat bow to dangle a little butterfly charm. For the upper right side I used a pearl swirl. The floral treatment is all by Wild Orchid Crafts: 35mm Trellis Rose, 25mm Wild Roses, 15mm Open Roses, 6mm Closed Rosebuds, and Heather Stem Flowers. You can see that I added a touch of StarDust Stickles to the larger roses for a little sparkle. To finish the front I added a Small Filigree Silver Corner which I painted white.
For the base of the easel I used the same paper, ribbons, and flowers but added a couple of pearl flowers and a SB Fancy tag with pearls for the sentiment. That's good advice for all of us--REMEMBER to stop and smell the roses!!!
I hope you like my little creation and we really would love for you to join us at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge this week! Gosh, it will be so much fun seeing your wonderful creations using PINK/PURPLE/PEARLS!!! Please drop by to check out all of the lovely creations made by the DT this week!!
AND now for a bit of amazing EYE CANDY!!!!!
Have you ever seen such absolutely gorgeous cuppycakes as this????
or THIS????
These are all made by a very dear friend of mine!! I'm sure that many of you will remember Ann Myles (better known as Madgesty) who was one of the most exceptional cardmakers I ever had the pleasure of meeting and she was such an inspiration to me. She set up The Next Level Challenge blog which was a great source of inspiration to all crafters alike. She now has a new venture called The Creative Cake Academy and is showing her true creativity again!!!! Please do me a great big favor and if you have a few moments, please pop over to her Facebook page and click 'Like' if you love what she is now doing. She is trying to drum up support for her new venture and here is the link. I would appreciate this so much!!! Thanks a million times over!!!

Another beautiful Maggie!!! Every one a work of art and you never seem to run out of creative layouts - fabulous!!
Those cupcakes are a dream! I don't know if I'd be able to eat them - they're too pretty!!!
Such a beautiful cad again Jacque. A feast for the eye..... Those cupcakes look absolutely exquisite, almost too good to eat. Have a wonderful weekend.
just stunning! and those cupcakes are nearly as gorgeous as your card :)
Oh My!! This is just delicious Jacque, the design, papers, images are beautifully coloured and all those sweet extras. The little muffins are amazing!!! Hugs janine

Hi Jacque, this is fabulous, love the purple/pink colours on your card. Sorry been away for so long, been so busy working as an Extra in a film.... well I definitely need lots of inspiration now so it's one place I'll be coming back he he Hugs xx
Wow I love your card with all those pearls!
Those cupcakes are absolutely beautiful... I wouldn't be able to eat such a piece of art!
What a gorgeous card again Jacque. It´s soooo beautiful work as always. I´m always amazed, how you can keep on and on thinking of new ways every time, you make a card?
These cupcakes are really awesome and some great pasterpieces each and one of them. I´m surprised, that they can be sold, as they must be very very expensive, aaaas they must take loads of time to make, and I can´t imagine many people would be willing to pay that much for a cake, no matter how beautiful it´ll be? But it´s sure great artwork too, that´s for sure, and she´s so darned good at what she do, that´s for sure. Just like you hun.
Have a wwonderful week-end everyone and lots of crafty fun.
An adorable card and such sweet cupcakes !
And a very very big thank you to you dear Jacque, I have received the most adorable LOTV circular stamps that I won from you !
I'm over the moon to have these precious ones and can't wait to make something with them ! Check your mailbox 'cause a little thank you is coming your way !
Enjoy your day !
Hugs
Margo

Hi Jacque, this is again a beauty. Purple is one of my favourite colours. The cupcakes of your friend look great. Have a great weekend. Regards, Helen
Again you've made a gorgeous card Jacque! It's always a pleasure to visit you. Hope your weekend will be great, enjoy :)
Big hugs, Jill
Your friend makes the most amazing cupcakes! I send the link to my sister cause she would love to see this! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you so much Jacque for your wonderful support - a true friend as ever. A big thank you too for all the lovely comments that are coming in. The cakes are a real passion of mine and an extension of my love and art and creativity. I do not actually sell them, I just do workshops to show people how to create them for themselves, a much cheaper option than buying them, which I agree would be very expensive.
I am so grateful for any support you can give to my new Facebook pages and if you like what I do just click the 'Like' button.

Wow Jacque this is adorable and my favourite colours too. I love all the gorgeous details and the image is another favourite.

Stunning card again, Jacque. Such pretty colours. I remember Madgesty and I must say I think her cupcakes are out of this world lovely but alas I have so far chosen not to be a face book user and I cannot say like. If you can like them or even love them from me - please do so! Hugs, Lesley

Dear Jacque~
You must know I love this card! Purple and pink are my two favorite colors! And, my favorite embellishments are flowers and pearls! They just make your card exquisite! This card is so beautiful, Jacque!
And, your friends cupcakes are amazing! She must cater them for weddings! People are giving individual cupcakes instead of a large cake. They are beautiful. Does she deliver?
He IS Able,
