I’m so excited…and I just can’t stand it!

Remember that song?  Well, that’s how I feel because Taylor asked me to be her  Featured Cupcake Sampler this week!  She chose my iris card as her favorite from last week’s entries!  How cool is that?!  I was flabbergasted!  Woo hoo!

After I calmed down (!), I was trying to decide what to do with this week’s sketch.  Since Taylor is the Queen of Cupcakes, I decided to use my Cupcake Mice.  They’re so cute and sweet.  I paired it with the perfect little sentiment from Taylor’s A Year of Sweet Sentiments set.

It was definitely a little tough pairing this image with the sketch-

I struggled with cutting up the 3 different layers and getting them all lined up properly.  In the end, I think I’m satified with the result.

Thank you, Taylor, for granting me the honor of being this week’s Featured Cupcake Sampler.

And thanks to you all for stopping by to see me today!  Have a wonderful weekend!
