Vera's View Challenge at Lily Pad

The end of May has really crept up on me - I keep thinking it's the 20th or so, and lo & behold the 30th has arrived. At least I glanced at the calendar this morning so I've got these posted in time for Vera's View challenge at Lily Pad Cards, which ends tonight. There are so many elements in the photo, and I was inspired primarily by the riot of colours & flowers:

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Piccadilly;"
Labels 4 Nesties; Peeled Paint distress ink;
sentiment & floral stamp from Inkadinkado;
Versamark & clear EP

Supplies: Paper from My Mind's Eye (from Emily!);
standard & lacy circle Nesties;
acetate die-cut from K&CO;
sentiment sticker from Doodlebug;
crocheted mat by me

But cupcakes? Had to make one with a cupcake too:

Supplies: Papers from My Mind's Eye;
standard circle Nesties; letter stickers from Echo Park;
cupcake chipboard from Martha Stewart;
miscellaneous gems

Here's the inspiration photo - don't these look delicious?

Looks like it's time to go wake up the rugrats now - Rob's taken the day off from work to get eleventy billion things ticked off our "to do" list, so I keep forgetting it's still a school day. My internal calendar is truly messed up, people! One of those items on the list is new glasses for me - I cannot wait. I've worn glasses since I was two years old, and so I tend to treat them as extensions of my face...which means I fall asleep with them on, knock them around, wipe them on my shirt or whatever's handy...which means the frames are pretty bent up, and the lenses are nearly cross-hatched even with the protective coating. 

Have a grand Wednesday!
