Teacher Thank You and Birthday Girl

The teacher card is made from a sketch I saw on Splitcoast. The birthday card is made using the scraps from the Elzy card.

Apple is from Quickutz and stamps are from the Kim Hughes collection at Cornish Heritage Farms. Paper is Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Buckaroo Blue-SU and patterned paper is from Basic Grey Cupcake. For birthday card, stamps are from Stampin Up Loads of Love and Accessories. Inks are SU ink with watercolor brush and Berry Sorbet from Papertrey Ink.

Cupcake Challenge 17

There are some firsts for me today. This is my first post with a card and this is the first time I have ever participated in a challenge. I decided to participate in Taylor's cupcake challenge today. After learning from several mistakes, this is what I came up with. The dress looks prettier IRL. I don't understand why it looks so odd in the photo.

Not sure. Thanks!
