Cupcake 149... Single Layer Cards

Morning All!

Wowsers! Wasn't it hot, hot, hot last week? I like it warm, but there were a few times when even I wilted. Still, it's a good excuse to sit in the paddling pool with an ice lolly, right?!

So, you can all come back out of the kitchen now. Thanks so much for playing along with our Cooking Up a Storm Challenge last week. We loved visiting you and seeing what you'd cooked up! I'd like to say a Big Hellio to our new followers too. (Waves)

Well time for another Cupcake me thinks and this week, Rachel has chosen the Challenge:

... Single Layer Cards ...

I can tell you there has been a good deal of head scratching going on in The Cupcake Factory for this one! I had a little drinkiepoo when I finally finshed my fourth attempt. I needed to put something in my hand to stop myself from sticking anything else on! We hope you have as much fun with it as we have. :)

You have until 8pm GMT on Sunday 10 July to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun!
