For my project I couldn’t decide between two projects, so I have given you both of them.

First off, my hubby loves himself some chocolate. So I thought why not give him some chocolate in the form of cupcakes from The Cake Box. They have the BEST cupcakes you will ever eat and my sweet hubby LOVES them! So I decided to decorate them up a little instead of just giving him the box with the cupcakes in them. Using my Silhouette to cut the letters, using my Big Shot and the circles die cut that I purchased at TSF, and the Spellbinder lacey circles die cut; I created these cute tabs to stick in each cupcake. I inked them up using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and then added some burlap twine to finish them off.  It makes them look so much more celebratory that a cardboard box.

Forgive me for that glob of glue under the letter “D”; just noticed it when I was typing…just keepin it real ladies. I guess I didn’t see it when I was taking the pictures because I was concentrating on all that chocolate!!! 🙂

Then I decided to share this banner with you. This was the first item I created, but wasn’t sure if I should share. But it was just too cute not TO. Again I used my Silhouette that offered this fabulous die cut for a tie shape that had a letter inset in each tie. Then using the offset tool on the Silhouette; I created a mat that had a perfect stitching line and I stitched a border around each mat using the Brown Floss from WE R Memory Keepers. I then inked each element using Frayed Burlap from Tim Holtz.  Just added a button to each tie and Voila!!!

For both projects I used papers from Authentique Open Stock “Free Bird” pattern paper

Now you should head off to JOANNE’S blog to finish off your blog hop.
