Cakes, Cupcakes, and Teddy Bears

I have some super exciting news!!!  I am now a member of the the fabulous Cooking With Cricut  design team.  I love this blog and the great challenges they have.  But most of all I love the fun, friendly chefs and all the great cooking they do.  So I have put on my apron and am cooking it up myself!!

Did you know that October 12th is national "take a teddy bear to work day"?  Or that October 17 is "national cake decorating day"? And October 18 is "national chocolate cupcake day".  Well, everyone at Cooking With Cricut is ready to celebrate these days.  Hey, who doesn't like teddy bears and cake!!  So the challenge this week is to create a project that has either a cake, cupcake, or teddy bear on it.  Take a look at what I have created.


I created the card using the Sweet Treat cartridge for the cake and cupcakes.  And I used the Heritage cartridge to cut the teddy bears.  The paper i used is from the Colorbok Flea Market stack and the solid brown is from Recollections.  The cupcake border was made with an EK border punch.  And the little pink gems are from Recollecions.  And i finished the card with a tag from Studio G.  When i began thinking about the project I wanted to use all three items, the cake, cupcake and teddy bear on the card.  I had to give it a little thought as to how I wanted it to look and not be so cluttered.  I am so glad I followed through with it.  I am so pleased with the end result!!    I hope you will head over to the Cooking With Cricut blog and see all the great projects and meet the new members of the design team.  You will love them all!!
