What could be better than one cupcake? A tower of cupcakes! It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!
For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used baked goods, texture, stripes, twine and circles to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
One of the most fabulous wedding receptions I have ever attended was one which featured a tower of cupcakes. Each cupcake was a stunningly beautiful work of art, featuring edible glitter and sprinkles which resembled pearls. Fresh flowers were used as fillers on the tiered trays. These cupcakes were too pretty to eat. However, in order to not offend the bride and groom, I forced myself to eat one. (Wink!) It was this memory which served as the inspiration for today’s card. While I certainly have never decorated cupcakes like this in real life, it was definitely fun to do so on paper! I left the sentiment off of this card, and will add one when I send it. It could be suitable for birthdays, hello, thank you and more!

Notes from Nueve
Hey, everyone! It’s me, Good Boy Nueve. When my Mom was talking about the card she was making, I thought she was saying PUP cakes, not cupcakes, and I got really excited. Her pup cakes are the best. And guess what…they are made from Peanut Butter. I think they are perfect for National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! I sure hope she makes me one!
This week I’ve done “boy” things with my Dad. I’ve helped him watch the Old Limpiks. I sit across his lap and help keep him warm, just like a fur blankie. I like it when the people go down the big hills with the boards on their feet, using big sticks to guide them. Boy, would I love to chew on those sticks.
Watching them and rooting them on makes me tired, though. Sometime I just have to lay my head down on the table and rest.
Helping Dad is hard work, but that’s my job. I am getting so sleepy. But, I’m a working dog….so sleepy…I’m Good Boy…z-z-z-z-z
Shhh! Working Dog recharging his batteries. Good Boy Nueve, signing off!

This week, the amazing LeAnne is hosting our Color Challenge. She has selected a trio of spring colors for us. I immediately thought of flowers. I can’t wait to see what YOU create for us this week!
See my special vest? Sixxy and I are practicing wearing our Holter vests. Now that we are big kids, we have to get special tests done on our hearts, so we have to wear a machine on our back that has wires coming from it. They are called ‘trodes. Mom said the ‘trodes measure how good our hearts beat.
