sassafras: the icing on the cupcake...

what is it about cupcakes that we just can't get enough of? besides the fact that they are yum....that's a given. i love everything about them....from crinkly cupcake liners to colorful frosting to the way they look sitting on a little square napkin. cupcakes just make me happy. and my favorite thing ever is cupcake toppers....the perfect addition to make a little cupcake all the more precious!

so you can imagine my delight when i saw these pretty cupcake gems from alexa gill....who makes some of the most awesome looking cupcakes ever if you ask me. i love the colors, the texture of the icing....and of course the flag banner toppers. what a delicious way to use up your extra flag banner stickers...

isn't that cool?! here are some more pics from alexa's blog, and a little bit about her cupcake topper idea in her own words:

"i had a pack of the new border stickers from Sassafrasin a kit recently and after using them on 5 different pages, i still had over half the sheet left! So i was trying to think of other ways to use them up and i thought they'd make cute little 'flags'. i just cut the border strip up and stuck 2 stickers back to back with a cocktail stick in the middle. These stickers are all the same so they match.

There's enough of each border strip to make 6 toppers."

With these, each one is different so you get a whole new look when you turn the toppers around."

" It's so quick and easy! i think they look charming. And they would work on a page too, perhaps using a pin as the stick instead? Think i'll try that out next. Have you used any scrapbooking products in unusual ways lately?"
