Prizes! Prizes! Taylor Van Bruggen is celebrating the one year anniversary of the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge. Each of the Weekly Cupcake Crew has designed their own sketch to celebrate. As a past featured cupcake stamper, I get the privilege of participating in the fun and sharing my design using Taylor's sketch challenge. You can check out the sketch on her blog and find out about the prize you can win by participating!
You also don't want to miss out on the awesome grand prize for one person who participates in ALL of the 9 sketch challenges. We hope you'll help us celebrate this yummy occasion!
Please check out the rest of Taylor's cupcake sketch samples by these talented stampers.

I used Stampin' Up's Classy Brass Template Dots to dry emboss the large dots on Baja Breeze and Classy Brass Template Floral Frenzy to emboss the tiny flowers on the Tangerine Tango Scallop Edge Border. Pretty cool. The Baja Breeze cupcake stamp on the oval (and envelope) and "hey, cupcake" rub-on are both included in the Hand Drawn Bundle (Hostess Level 3).

After seeing this card and that darling envelope, I feel as though I must have that set… I wish there were another way to get it… As always, beautiful card, Mary!
Hi Sherrie:
I agree, this stamp set, rub-ons and DP is to die for.
It may seem impossible to reach a hostess 3. However, if you team up with a few friends, you can consolidate an order (even on-line–full benefits are available–much like a hosting a workshop) and earn all the hostess benefits, plus (starting Feb. 1) all the Sale-A-Bration freebies for being both a customer and bonus as a hostess. Free catalog when you order on-line starting Feb. 1, too.
With the release of the new catalog and SAB, it doesn’t take much to get to hostess 3. Good timing.
No pressure . . . just fyi 🙂
Hugs,
M
Great job with the challenge Mary! Love the cute little buttons.
Just the sweetest! I love the colors and dry embossed circles ROCK… 🙂 Love the buttons to Mary!! TFS! 🙂
I love the hey cupcake rub ons, so wish we had them in the UK! Great job on the sketch I love the card.

This is wicked Mary! I didn’t get that set when we are able to, but now I wish I did! Great job!

Yummy card! I definitely want the texture plates. I love how you used them.
How cool is your card? I love the large ‘hey cupcake’ sentiment; it makes the focal! As usual, thanks for the inspiration, Mary.
Mary,
I just have to tell you your work is AMAZING!!! Your space is BEAUTIFUL! I think i want to be you when I grow up! 🙂
You are SERIOUSLY talented!!!

Great card! and i love those colors together. That is a good idea about stamping your stamp on white CS and then cutting it like regular printed CS. Thanks Mary. You are so cleaver.

This card is fantastic Mary! I love your color combination and those “hand-drawn” cupcakes are so adorable!
