Let's Eat Cake- Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hello and good morning!

I am so excited to be participating today in the Little Tangles Birthday Blog Hop!  Neat and Tangled is celebrating its first birthday this month and to celebrate we are having a Let's Eat Cake blog hop.  You should have arrived here from Suzanne Dahlberg's blog. If not, check out the Little Tangles blog for the full hop order.

With all this cake happening on the blog hop today, I thought, what goes better with cake than a cold glass of milk?  And if the milk can be drunk through cupcake adorned straws, all the better!

I paper-pieced the cupcake from Sketchy Cupcakes onto scalloped circles.  I attached the scalloped circles to paper straws with foam tape. The patterned papers are from Dear Lizzy's Lucky Charm 6 x 6 paper pad.

I also made a little card to match the straws:

So you can't have a birthday party without prizes, and Danielle is giving away an amazing prize to celebrate Neat and Tangled's first birthday.... the entire Year One Neat and Tangled stamp collection!!!! 


To enter, just leave a commnt below and on all the stops along the blog hop.  One lucky commenter will win every Neat and Tangled stamp that Danielle released over the past year.  Danielle is also giving away two $5.00 gift certificates too- perfect for treating yourself to some yummy sequins! You have until August 24 to hop along and comment.  The winner will be announced on August 25.

And don't forget to link up your cakey projects to the Little Tangles blog!  You have until September 1 to play along! 

Your next stop on the hop is Heather Hoffman!  Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
