Happy as a Pig in Mud


Yep, that's Kurt! Not a care in the world about what anyone else thinks! THIS is what he wanted, (no scratch that), it is what he insisted on wearing last Halloween! I'm wondering who he received his independent spirit from! ;)
The page was created to use "sweets". Lots of different manufacturers in here. The base is Basic Grey & I penned the stitching. Then, there is some Prima, Pink Paislee and Fancy Pants. The cupcakes are cut from American Crafts paper, and touched up with stickles. The chipboard is Heidi Grace. Also, a Fancy Pants journal sheet, and Prima & Basic Grey rub-ons are in there. I believe that the large brad is Making Memories.
I made the flower with circles cut from the Fancy Pants paper:
1. Cut circles:



2. Fold over in back:





3. Arrange under brad:








Here is a close-up of the flower:











Have a marvelous & blessed weekend!!!
