Now for my card. This one saw quite an evolution until I ended up with the final version. I started with the sketch from ShowCASe Your Style.
I didn't take a picture of the first try, when the frame around the images was in dark brown, but here is my second take, with a layer of white on top. The little cupcakes are from PB, white embossed and watercolored.
I liked it with the white, so I stamped my sentiment - crookedly. Arrgh! Then I saw the trend challenge from Just Us Girls and knew how I could resurrect it. Make it into a shaker!
I trimmed the original frame from the first card, placed it on a new base and added a little foam, some acetate, and another white layer with the PPP frame. I had some clear seed beads that resembled the sprinkles and cut some red with my paper punch to mimic the cherries for the filler. The NBUS sentiment from PB seemed perfect with the sprinkles inside. (It's weird how the colors came out on these, both taken with the same camera and edited in Picassa.)
Thanks for stopping by today. Your visits and comments are always appreciated.

I love your cupcake sprinkles....what a cute shaker! Thanks for joining us at Just Us Girls! Glad everything went well with your eye surgery.
Great "save" making a shaker card and I love the sentiment, Bobby! I think this card would work for CASology this week too :)
Glad to hear the eye surgery was successful and you are on your way to a full recovery.
Love how you saved this and worked it into our challenge, too! This is darling. Glad your eye surgery went well. Thanks for playing with us again at JUGS!
Great news about your surgery, Bobby ... hope you're now as good as new! What a fab shaker ... loved seeing the evolution ... the non shaker version was delicious enough ... then all those shimmery sprinkles took it to another level! Anita :)
So glad you fixed your mistake and made your card into a shaker! Went from Fab to Fabulous! So glad things went well with your eyes! Take care friend!
Thanks for playing at JUGS too! :)
Sweet shaker card! Thanks for joining in at JUGS!
Fabulous design Bobby, the sweetest shaker!
First, great news that your eye surgery went well! Yayy..second, your 'design innovation' with your 'transformation' into a shaker...so delightful. I've been doing a lot of crooked sentiment stamping of late...need to pay closer attention to the grid lines on my mat!
Hugs~c
Good news (although it is probably old news by now) about your successful eye surgery. Love both of your sweet cupcake cards, and the shaker one was a great save.
