Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! As this new year begins, one of my resolutions has been to try and blog more often and of course start crafting a lot more.The crafting part is coming along just great but the blogging , not so great! So here I am, trying to keep up with my blogging resolution and bring to you one of my first completed projects.

Sweet Irie has asked that I be a part of her blog give aways and I agreed. The theme is "cupcakes" and being that I"m a cupcake lover I got cupcake happy. I'm trying to create a cupcake "basket" which means it will be stuffed w/many cupcake goodies. The first item has been made and its a cupcake journal along with a matching cupcake pen. I think its super but you be the judge? In the works is matching v-day magnets, hair clip and ring. I'm working on the other items but here is what I have so far!

The journal is a regular "notebook" covered in cupcake fabric, accented with Valentine Day ribbon. I added a few heart jewels to make it more fun &cute. The base of the cupcake is actually real cupcake paper cut out to fit the base and curled the ribbon into tiny circles to fluff the cupcake frosting and of course the big circle jewel to represent the cherry on the cupcake......tadahhh!

Here is the matching pen. This is also handmade. I made a cupcake die-cut and stuffed it with cotton,sprinkled matching heart jewels and wavy ribbon. I added a cute v-day bow just for fun.

p.s.

I'm still working on fixing my pictures. I haven't perfected that yet so I may not give my creations justice!
