You can find them here at the store http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/new/added-in-may/
Don't forget you can but them all individually to but OMG I sure wouldn't its too lush to miss anything

Here's my final make from this fabulous collection Rocco Flower Bunch

I've made a little basket and added flowers from the collection and a sentiment and of course Rocco with his floral offering to Winnie. The sentiment has been die cut using one of Nikky's fabby elegant nest dies to.

Abbie with cake

Hello le buddies, how are you all doing? Lots of crafty things I bet.

Today I'm sharing some inspiration from the lovely Conie Fong using one of the lovely Abbie images. This is Abbie cake, yummy I love cake, especially cupcakes and coffee walnut cake.
Here's some cupcake factoids for you:

The record for eating the most cupcakes in the shortest time is 29 cupcakes in 30 seconds. The world's largest cupcake weighed over 1,200 lbs and had over 2 million calories. The first “cupcake only” bakery was Sprinkles Cupcakes, opened in 2005. They make over 25,000 cupcakes a day from 11 locations

Making myself hungry now so I'll get on with it.
