Our June challenge is Eat Me, Drink Me
Are you fueled by coffee, tea or cocoa? Find cupcakes irresistible? Create a card featuring an edible treat or favored beverage! Use the inspiration graphic as a starting point, or head off in your own direction - just leave us needing a fix of your favorite indulgence!

You should have arrived here from Amy's blog. Betty will be your next step along the way.
I think cupcakes are pretty much the most perfect baked good. A scrumptious morsel of cakey goodness covered in icing? Filled with fruit? Topped with ice cream? Yes, please! It doesn't get much better than that! For this month's hop, I shared my love of the oh-so-craveable cupcake!
I used the Small Packages stamp set to create this card, paper piecing my cupcakes with pretty, sugary papers. I stamped my sentiment onto one of the banners from the Banner Bundle Die Set (I just love these dies!) and adhered it to my card with a little stitching. I am so happy with how delicious this turned out!

Thanks for stopping by to see me today. This is going to be my last hop with Verve, as I am stepping down from the Diva Inspirations Team. You know how life can be sometimes, and I feel very stretched at this point. Trust me, this was not an easy decision to make and I may be regretting it already! Things will probably be a little quiet around here (like you'd notice anything different, right?) but I am hoping to pop in now and again for this or that. I appreciate all of your continued support and encouragement - I hope you have a great day!
