CDS Blog Hop: These are a Few of My Favorite Things

Welcome the the Clear Dollar Stamps Monthly Blog Hop!  The theme for our hop this month is

These are a Few of My Favorite Things

You should have made your way here from Stacy's blog.  If you just happened upon my blog, you'll want to go back to Lori's blog at the beginning.  You certainly don't want to miss the opportunity for some PRIZES, do you?!

Since the theme was 'favorite things', I decided to make a card with cake on it and some yummy frosting. . .for a party!  Yup that would definitely be a favorite for me!  I used a couple of new stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps called 'you take the cake' and Birthday Cake Slice.  Notice how I covered that yummy piece of cake in some delicious frosting. . .a.k.a. liquid pearls?!
Stamps:  Birthday Cake Slice, you take the cake
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  CDS Tropical Mist, CDS Cottonball White, BG Hello Luscious
Accessories:  Prismacolor & gamsol, Hello Luscious buttons, Espresso Liquid Pearls, red twine

I hope you're remembering to comment along the way, because there are a couple of prizes to be won!  Now that you're done here, you'll want to head to Christi's blog for more crafty goodness!
