Firstly, I want to thank all you sweet, sweet, SplitCoastStampers for leaving such beautiful comments on my cards! Every comment I read brings a smile to my face and I'm just so thankful for that!
Now to today's challenge...
I wasn't too inspired last night when I saw that Ice Cream was the Free For All challenge today. It was late and I was EXHAUSTED! But after having slept like a baby, I woke up thinking, "Hey, I could do an ice cream themed card!"
My mom has the cutest collection of cupcakes and as I was feeding my girls their breakfast I was running all those cute little cupcakes through my head trying to come up with some kind of an idea of where I was going to go with my Ice Cream themed card. And sparkles came to mind!
I made the bg dp myself!! I used the polka dot ef and then took SU!'s Crystal Effects and dotted EACH tiny dot and then sprinkled some of SU!'s Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Gosh I love that stuff!! I think the dp came out so cute! I continued to use the glitter into the ice cream!
**Thank you Dawn for making me think a bit! I had fun making this card for my mom! And thank you Mom for having such a cute collection of cupcakes so I could use them for inspiration for my Ice Cream card! This card is For You! Love you!!
Hope you all like my card! (I used only SU! products)

Well, I reckon we just had to be inspired by the poem, so you could have used cupcakes and this would still fit the challenge. But I must say I prefer icecream to cupcakes any day. I like those little flowers under the brads.
