| Circle Sayings - cupcake card - detail view |
It's been busy at our house these past few days! John's birthday was Sunday, but the party was on Saturday. We had a great time with several friends. John didn't ask for much this year, but one request that he wasn't bending on, was his cupcake. He loves my Black Forest Cupcakes, so that is what I made. They are a chocolate cupcake, then after baking I hollow out the center. Fill them up with cherry pie filling and top them off with homemade cream cheese frosting. The cupcake that John is holding, is collapsing under the weight of the frosting..... and he couldn't be any happier! HA HA!

Today I am participating in the Crafty Collaborations Birthday Blog Hop and I thought that the card I made for John would be the perfect card for this hop! The Circle Sayings bundle has a cupcake and I knew I wanted that front and center on Johns card this year..... then I used the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder because I think it looks like frosting. Perfect! Right?!
