Cupcake Inspiration challenge #200

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Cupcake Inspirations 200th challenge!  Some of you may remember 3 years ago I was on my friend Rachel's Hope Stamps Eternal DT and every week for a year I played along with a Cupcake Inspiration challenge.  (Here is a link to all my old blog posts playing along.)  When Rachel closed her store and I left the team, we were at CIC59.  Well, the challenge lived on and has been thriving ever since!!

As a former Cupcake Sweetie, they invited me to play along with the DT in a special blog hop to help celebrate their 200th challenge!
There are prizes offered along EACH stop of the blog hop AND there is a GRAND PRIZE of over $200 worth of goodies for one lucky challenge participant!  For this week's challenge, your card can be based on any of the past cupcake inspiration pictures.  All the details of this week's challenge and PDFs of all past cupcakes can be found on the Challenge Blog.

So on to my challenge, if you came from Michele's blog you are on the right track, otherwise you can head back to the CIC challenge blog for a master list of all the hoppers.  I chose Cupcake #12 for my challenge.  Isn't it beautiful?

Here is the original card that I made for this challenge back on June 21, 2009!  Man, that seems a lifetime ago!  I even noticed my old watermark on this photo.

And here is the card I made for today.  I kept the same basic layout, but changed the papers, flowers and sentiment. I love how the papers and flowers on this perfectly match those beautiful cupcakes!

The prize I have up for grabs is 5 free digi images offered by Paper Pretties!!

 Here is a little info from Paper Pretties:
