Sweet Sparkle Cupcake Tag

"Tag You're it" had a super fun theme this week "super candy kisses". Which to me translates into anything sweet. I found this great glitter paper at Michaels today. It was in with the Christmas clearance at 80% off. I also got 2 giant tags at 80% off, they were 44 cents each! What sweet deals. The first image shows one of my giant tags (6"x10"), next to my normal sized tag (2"x5"). Now about my tag. I decided to make a cupcake with the glitter paper. I used a real cupcake paper for the cup. I also stamped the background of the tag with some hearts, but they are a little hard to see with the size of the cupcake. When I attached the "icing", I used those pop out dots to make it stand out. I hope you enjoy this super sweet and glittery post. Oh wait, I almost forgot. I found the cupcake template here: mamasheg but it originally came from here: valitasfreshfolds. These two blogs are worth reading. Tons of cute ideas and inspiration.

She taught me to eat artichokes

"That's how it is with people sometimes. When you least expect it, a common thread -golden, at that- begins to weave together the fabric of friendship."

"She taught me to eat artichokes" by Kay Shanley is a keepsake book about friendship. The quote I used in the collage comes from that book. My collage was created for the challenge on "Mixed Media Monday". Lately I have been reconnecting with old friends, thanks to Facebook. It has been fun seeing what old friends are doing now and catching up. I would love to go back in time and find some more friends that I have lost touch with over the years. It amazes me how fast time flies as I get older. This year is my 20th reunion for high school (holy cow I feel old).

Here's to new friends and old -Cheers!
