Sweet Nothin's

I finally got a chance to use the Basically Bare cupcake embellies! 

This layout actually uses real cupcake liners - the ones featured in the photo. It was a bit of a messy process to "decorate" the cupcakes. The Mod Podge was very "gluey."  I suppose I could have used another type of adhesive, but it was what I was able to grab quickly. I even used the real sprinkles that were put on the cupcakes. The sprinkles were dissolving when handled too much, but for the most part, they stuck.

Here's a close-up of the decorated cupcakes...

I'll admit that they looked good enough to eat! I was very tempted to make cupcakes again, lol!

Rut

Sometimes I get into a creative rut because I'm tired or working too much. And when it comes time to create something, I just don't have any idea what to do.

Last night, I was having trouble sleeping, so I started thumbing through Journal Revolution by Linda Woods and Karen Dinino. I had purchased it awhile ago, but I hadn't picked it up in ages. This book is AMAZING!

As I turned page after page, I was suddenly inspired. True, it wasn't inspiration for my usual style, but at least it was something to get my creative juices flowing. So here's what I had time to create this morning.

This pretty much sums up my week, lol. Can't wait for the weekend...

He's Got...Personality

Personality by cyranoscrap

I created this for Basically Bare, using their fun gears. I thought the gears were very appropriate, given that I can never tell what N's thinking, but by his expressions, I can tell that his little brain is working and processing. And, when you look at the expressions on his face, he is one little guy with personality!
