Word of the Week Challenge, #19

Oh it has been busy here...and I forgot my WOW last week...again!  I could use some WOW in my life right about now!  But I do know just the thing to take care of the winter blues...today's WOW plus an extra sweet surprise...

confection: 
1.  the act or process of "confecting" which means:  to put together from varied material or to "prepare" or  "preserve"  2. something "confected" such as  a) a fancy dish or sweetmeat;  delicacy, esp. a fruit or nut preserve  b) a medicinal preparation usu. made with sugar, syrup, or honey c) a piece of fine craftmanship

My sample is made with the Tea and Cake set from Pink Persimmon, with sentiment from the Ric Rac Circle set.  Used Papertrey Ink cardstocks in Lemon Tart, Sweet Blush, and white.  Added Cotton Candy Stickles to the cupcakes, and colored the tray with a Stardust glitter pen by Sakura for extra sparkle!  The layout is today's Sketch Challenge (SC264) at Splitcoaststampers hosted by "SewManyCards" this week!

So it's a delicious word of the week, right?!  Upload your own card featuring "confection" to Splitcoaststampers using the keyword WOW19, or link your blog back here in the comments section of this post! 

And SPEAKING of delicious confections...you must stop over to Pink Persimmon's Blog for their Bakery Box Bonanza!  The Creative Team was asked to use their Pink Bakery Boxes to make a fun project for February, and they are being featured all week on the blog!  Kristie and Linda have wowed us with some yummy designs, and the rest of team will be featured this week....including me! 

Oh, and what could make eating a confection even better?...why that would be SHOPPING while eating that confection!  Some Pink Persimmon sets are on sale and listed HERE...so grab some sweet inspiration, and a sweet DEAL while you are there!
