Woo-hoo!!!!! It's that time again. Time to go back and ink up those oldie but goodie stamps!! The sad thing about the stamping industry is it's much like technology. As soon as something is released, we're already on to the next new thing! Am I right? This is one of reasons I play along with Taylor's blast from the past blog hop every month.
The theme for this months hop is clean & simple. I broke out my For the Love of cupcakes set for my card today. I had some Echo Park Little Girl paper out on my desk and thought, why not?! I pulled out this gorgeous hibiscus burst paper for my base. Doesn't it just pop?! I used a corner rounder on opposing sides of the image panel then followed with my paper piercer to frame it. The sentiment is from Cuppie in the Kitchen and are truly words to live by!! 
For the love of cupcakes:
Stamps: Image from For the Love of Cakes; sentiment from Cuppie in the Kitchen
Paper: Card stock from PTI; patterned paper by Echo Park - Little Girl Collection
Ink: Versafine Onyx heatset with clear embossing powder
Accessories: Copics, corner rounder, paper piercer, pearls from stash - a.k.a. Tinla, ribbon from PTI, bow easy & dimensionals
Too cute!
