Gee...I wonder why I love this one??? LOL! Seriously, though, I totally ADORE designer Debbie Mum and this calendar SCREAMS, "DEBBIE!!!" LOL!
Today is Spittie Kittie's FIRST birthday! Can you believe it? He's a year old! And, he acts and plays like a Teenager! He and Speedy the Cat are buddies...So, Markie decided that HE and Speedy the Cat are making Cupcakes to celebrate Spittie Kittie's Birthday...This should be fun to photograph! LOL!
The border was made by sponging Creamy Caramel ink onto a Black and White ribbon. I made the awning by first punching the edge and then I drew and colored the stripes with a Signo Pen! The image was stamped onto Whisper White. I colored it in with Copics. Next, I cut it out, added the toque, (chef's hat), and cupcake. I had it all finished, even had the photo taken and realized he looked weird...My alarm went off...I went in to silence it, glanced at Mark's SNORING face and VIOLA! I ran back to my stampin' room and added a mustache to my chef!

now tell, me, Faith, when have you ever had a 'barker' of a card?!!!! What wonderful elements on this card...love the houndstooth and the awning/ canopy is fab! Girl, your work is amazing!
I'm editing to add on closer look that's gingham ribbon instead of houndstooth...it still is good...really good.
As I was scrolling to edit, I happened upon your DS's comments...oh
outta the mouth of babes!
