Happy Birthday! - ISSC02 / Whimsie Doodles, Oh Scrap!

Hi all! And a Very Happy Wednesday to you! Sure hope you all had a Wonderful Valentines Day! Well, My Sweet Honey had to work, but still Surprised me with some Gorgeous Flowers and my favorite perfume too! It was waiting for me when I woke up yesterday! What a  Sweetheart he is! 8-)  And I had cookies and balloons delivered to him at work, so he was surprised too! 8-)  We will get to have a nice dinner out on the town tonight, since we weren't able to celebrate last night... Well today I'm back to share my latest creations inspired by the New I Spy Sketch Challenge #02 and Whimsie Doodles Oh Scrap Challenge..
I printed out my Sweet Whimsie Doodles Yummy Doodles Cupcakes out onto Flourishes Classic White and did a little paper piecing on each of the cupcakes frosting and colored up the rest with my trusty Copics. I cut them out with the help of my Classic Circles and Scalloped Circles nesties sets and then matted them up onto Lacy Pennants and Nested Pennants die cuts that I popped up with a bit of foam tape. All my mats and BG pieces were created with scraps of brown CS from my stash and more scraps from my Simple Stories Baby Steps collection, how cool is that! I did end up having to do a little piecing on one of my BG's, but it all worked out! Yay! I just Love being able to use up scraps! 8-) To finish them all up, I stamped my Lil' Inkers sentiment onto layered die cut pennant tags with Memento Tuxedo Black, added a touch of Stardust Stickles for a little bling, and some Cute buttons all tied up with some Yummy bakers twine! Pretty easy peasy, huh?... 8-)
Here's a few pics of the individual cards..
 
And here's the Fabulous I Spy Sketch #02

Hope you all have a Fantastic day & thanks so much for dropping by! 8-)
