Love from the Mom in Me (CIC247)

Our sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies


A Day for Daisies is generously offering a $12 gift certificate (that's THREE images!!) as our fabulous prize to our randomly drawn winner! 

Thank you for sponsoring this challenge!

Here's is this week's inspiration cupcake.
Our challenge is LOVE.  


Lover's Day Cupcakes by Juliana Morgado

Here's my take...




I had to use this image 'Book Time' when I saw it because there is nothing like loving my kids. I choose to love my husband, and I do love him so very much, but I don't have a choice when it comes to my kids. They get my love whether they want it or not. :) 

I used Stampin' Up Sahara Sand card base and Real Red layer. I colored my image with my Prismacolor Pencils. The 'love' stamp is from that same un-named set. I know, I know! I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of the packaging (and for not using it sooner.). The 'you & me' is from an October Afternoon set that has the owl in it. Can't seem to find the name of this one anywhere either. Arg. I stamped both sentiments in Versamark and clear embossed them to give some shine. 

Thanks for looking! Hope this finds you happy and healthy.
