A Kept Life: Paper Sweeties May Inspiration Challenge #18 Cupcakes & Sprinkles

I'm having another day with lots of new stuff and - yep! three posts! So I hope you stick around a bit! A new challenge begins today at Paper Sweeties. This one is close to my heart because even though I'm no longer on the current DT for Paper Sweeties I still get to come back and play with my friends. All the DT alumni are always invited and it's a great chance for me to "catch up" and see what they've been up to!

Here's the inspiration photo for this time. What a great challenge to use some of the latest stamps that feature cup cakes and other sweets. I went back to a few older sets for mine. The tea party themed sets are some of my all time favorites. I dressed up Abigail with a paper pieced dress. I added lots of little embellishments too, some 1/4" satin ribbon for her sash, flower sequins (that I've only seen at Paper Sweeties), and a paper rose on her hat. That berry cake she's holding looks scrumptious too! The details really go a long way
when you're working with these sweet doll images.
