Sweet Treat Ideas?

Well I hate to say this but I haven't been able to find anyone this week that has shared or linked to somewhere else or provided a tutorial apart from ME and my link to the snow globe video - so I'm going to nominate myself for this week's inspiration - my card for my downline was cased from one of my favourite Aussie bloggers Kirsty Brown & she has done something amazing today with the sweet treat cups & butterflies - stunning!

So this week's challenge is to link all those ideas for Sweet Treat Cups; which should be easy as I can see there's plenty appearing already.

Please link your blog post or SCS or PCP post using Mr Linky below:

Karen's March Challenge Entries

Once again Karen has stepped up and entered more than once in this month's challenges.

I'm going to miss some of these sets.  See what Karen's been up to lately by visiting her blog HERE.

Karen's February Entries

Karen' is fantastic.  She saw that there weren't many entries for the Bush Fire Appeal Challenge.  So she emailed me 6!  They were all gorgeous but I've posted 3 of my favourites.  Visit Karen's blog HERE.

Karen's Treat Holder

Karen used the Colour Challenge when making this cute treat holder.  You can see the rest of them on Karen's Blog including instructions.

Karen's Jan Challenge Entry

Karen has made this sweet little card using the Botanical Blooms SAB set.  Have a look at the rest of Karen's Blog HERE.

Karen's Altered Coffee Tin

Karen has been very busy on her blog The INKredible Journey.  She's done a great job altering this coffee tin, and you should check out her candles.

Karen's Christmas Challenge

Karen was very fast at email me her entry for the challenge.  Karen is also wonderful at leaving comments on blogs.  Thank you Karen for all your encouragement.  Check out Karen's blog and I'm sure she'd love it if you left a comment for her.

Karen's Birthday Card

Karen managed two challenges with this hoppin' cute card.  It the perfect card for a child and she's used the colours from the latest KWerner colour challenge.  And checkout the pop-out inside!  Go pay Karen a visit on her blog The INKredible Journey.

Karen's Embossing Challenge Entry

Here's Karen's entry for the Embossing Challenge.  Her upline's very lucky to be receiving this for her birthday.  Check out the close up on Karen's blog The INKredible Journey.

Inspiration - Definitely NOT Basic by Karen

I've had this card saved to my desktop for a little while, I keep meaning to post it as an Inspiration Card, but life just keeps getting in the way - I know you all how it goes.  So finally here it is.  I love everything about Karen's card, the colours, the layout, the pretties...

You can see a close up and the details on Karen's blog The INKredible Journey.

Inspiration - Altered Tin by Karen

Tins are always a great thing to alter.  I've got an altered money tin that I did for Baylee, it'll be a shame when we eventually have to cut it open so she can bank the money she's collected in there.

Anyway here's a very cool tin that Karen altered.  She's used Spring Showers and Spring Flowers.  Both sets of DSP are still available but aren't published in the current catalogue.  Check out Karen's tin in more detail here.

RAK - For Karen

This card is beautiful, but it's not your ordinary card.  To check it out in full you need to check out Karen's blog The INKredible Journey.  Karen was very lucky to receive this card from a Napier Demo, Pauline.

Blog of the Week - The INKredible Journey

Karen has been busy making some gorgeous cards and 3D items for Easter, so thought that since it's less than a week away we should spotlight her blog.  Her blog The Inkredible Journey is definitely one to check out for Easter ideas.

Bunny Hugs are multiplying!!

I suppose that's what bunnies do.
I love my wee Bunny Hugs stamp set that is in the summer mini catalogue (6 stamps for $39.95) and was really pleasantly surprised to see that my upline Jacque was using it at class last night too. We made a wee treat box and a matching card - don't they look cute with my bag-a-lope - now I wonder who will get these next week??

Click the picture if you can't see but the card is all iridescent - ohhh!

If any of you are wondering why the layout is different on NZSU compared to the original post it's because I post via Windows Live Writer (a fantastic and easy to use and free blog editing programme)
