Hashtag (#) Cupcake!

How's it going? The world's kind of a mess right now and it's still Hades hot in my neck and around my woods, so let's escape to card land.

Today I'm popping in here like Jack, both the box and the rabbit, because I suddenly had this idea for a card for the adorable sketch at Case This Sketch and the doors to the challenge are closing in a matter of hours. Slam! Plus, I've got August staring down at me with both barrels and we all know what that means.

Here's my card:

And here's the sketch by the supremely talented Sam Simpson:

I'm sorry Sam, but I had to move the sediment position up to my cupcake to ground it. Nobody likes their cupcakes flying off the front of a card just when they're getting ready to take a big ol' lick of that yummy colorful washi frosting in fun stripey summer colors.

There is a birthday blog hop and party happening over at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge in honor of team member LeAnne Pugliese's birthday celebration! #Happy Birthday, LeAnne and many, many more! 

And over at Addicted to Stamps and More, the theme is everyone's favorite "Anything Goes!"

New Friends Corner

Please welcome our newest friend, Rema of RT Impressions. Rema has been blogging since 2010. She works full-time and unwinds with her paper crafting and card art, which is fantastic! Rema is the proud grandmother of Levi and she loves reading, gardening, and the company of her two Jack Russell terriers.

That got me wondering why terriers get to be named after a person, like Jack Russell, and we don't, for instance, have Billy Wilson greyhounds or Frank Johnson beagles. I won't retype the answer because it's quite lengthy, but it's also quite interesting so here is the Wiki link all about Parson John Russell and the milkman's little female terrier named Trump who mothered the breed.

Thank you for joining, Rema, and welcome to the Playhouse!

For those of us who are wives and mothers, you know how it is that once your babies starts walking, you are never allowed to go to the bathroom in peace again, right? Okay. I just want to know why little boy babies who grow up and get married continue that trait with their wives no matter how old they get!  I mean, seriously?!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
