Happy Labor Day!

Sep 02, 2008

Hey All! I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I’ve been putting the finishing touches on some very exciting news I have to share with you tomorrow. Before then I want to let you know who I’ve chosen as the Featured Cupcake Sampler this Friday. Sankari has been catching my eye lately with her sketch challenge creations and this week she pushed me over the edge with this beautiful cupcake tree card. I actually thought the cupcake tree was a stamp image, but in re-reading Sankari’s post I discovered that she created the tree in Photoshop and drew the cupcakes! Too cool!

See you back here tomorrow morning! I am bursting with excitement to share this news… (and no… I’m not pregnant! lol).
