Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #1...

There are always flowers for those who want to see them. -Henri Matisse

I would like to cordially invite you to join me for a Sunday of Cupcakes...well, of cupcakes as Inspiration that is!!

I am going to start a Cupcake Inspiration Challenge as a weekly feature of my blog...I would Love for you all to play along! It's So simple! I pick a cupcake and you get inspired! There are really No limitations...you can create a card, a scrapbook page, a 3D item...anything! You just run with whatever the cupcake makes you think of. You can go with Just the color scheme or choose to follow the central theme, or maybe the picture brings a layout to mind, again, Whatever! :)

If you do play along I will include a keyword each week for SCS or PCP uploads and I would LOVE for you to link your creations to my comments here on the blog.

For this First week (and randomly at other times as well.) I will choose a random participant to WIN a GOODIE!!! We all love Goodies, right??? :) This week a random participant will win a $10 credit at Hope Stamps Eternal!
