Hello All!
With the stress and busyness of the Holidays....I sure have felt the need to decompress in the studio for some much needed play time. How about you?
I didn't want to start any lengthy projects (I have enough of those still unfinished...haha!) and I didn't want to have to think too hard about shading and facial features like when doing a portrait...
So, the answer came to me...
Cupcakes!
Aren't they always the answer?! :-D
In one of Amy's classes, she showed us how to sew fabric onto watercolor paper and use that to paint on....
I had prepared some extras and knew that's what I wanted to use.
The paint bleeds a little and gets a nice wash-y kinda effect (I know, very technical...haha!) that I really like.

I saw this saying...and thought it was perfect!
I added some ruffle from a vintage pillowcase, polka dot ribbon, a fancy brad...and some ribbon to hang it with. A cute little reminder to turn a sour day into a sweet one :)
This next one is definately for the kid in us all...
"Sprinkles make me Smile"
Do you get all giddy when you get to eat something with sprinkles, too?
These were a lot of fun to make...and a lot less fattening than the real thing :)
They are in my Shop now.
Now, I have to start making a coffee cozy for my daughter's teacher!
Yay! A good excuse to catch up on some TV...heehee!
Hope you get to have a cupcake kinda day soon...
Did you know your comments and visits are my sprinkles?
You never cease to make me smile,
Cameron

Yes! Cupcakes! :)) Would you believe me if I told you I've never tasted a cupcake?? :)) I haven't! I don't even know if you can buy one in my country, maybe even Europe. :)) Well, English probably have them. But I so want to try one cause they look delicious everytime I see one.:)
Looks great! Sprinkles are such fun! :)
Love all the little details! Makes me hungry :)
Hee hee that's funny, my husband said to me this morning I feel like cupcakes :-} must be the escape we all need.
Now if only the kids on my xmas list would grow up already!
