This is the card I made for today's inspiration challenge! Giggle...what a fun site! Here is what inspired me, you will have to scroll down a little!
This is my story!
1. This card and that site prompted me to wonder about some stuff.
2. If you got one of the cupcakes as a gift from a friend, and if you didn't eat it (I know it would be hard) and just left it sitting, would it petrify like wood does and become a permanent awesome decoration in your stamp room?? Or would it start stinkin? And if it started stinkin, would it eventually get past that point, sorta like when you are real hungry and you don't eat, eventually you aren't hungry anymore?
2. What would happen if you kept puttin' your thumb in the cupcake chocolate frosting and cherry SU shiny stuff? If you did and kept puttin' another layer over your gooey mess, would it run together and look okay? How many times of doing that is the limit?
3. What would happen if you started out making a normal size flat card that would mail in a normal size flat envelope, but got carried away and kept going like the Eveready Bunny? Would you be disappointed in yourself?
4. What would happen if you bought this cool new Martha Stewart punch and tried it out on the brown cardstock just for fun? And after you punched it out and made a pile of little tiny roundish brown oblong shaped punch outs, would you think it was mouse poop and never return to your stamp room again??
If any of you want to know the answers to these questions, I have them. Just pm me. Warning, I have been known to not respond for about 5 days!Yikes!

Yum-o! What a fantastic card and it looks good enough to eat. You've brought up some very good questions!! But I like what Peggy said - use the mouse poop on your next card!!!
this one ROCKS. Love the MS punch too.
