Flower Cake

2011-03-13T23:40:00.002-04:00

I made this cake for my granddaughter's 6th birthday party & she just loved it. Her eyes brightened right up when she saw her cake. :) I also made cupcakes {with green frosting} & set them up below the cake to make it look like the stem of the flower.

I made this card for fun & to have on hand for when I may need it. I used my Stampin Up circle stamp on this card. Also used my Cricut & Cuttlebug machines. I love this bird!! This is such a fun hobby, especially in the winter time when it's snowing outside & too cold to go out. :)

2009-05-01T23:22:00.000-04:00

I made this card for my mom's birthday coming up & also for the BBTB challenge.I use 2 layers of Bazzill cardstock, the over all card measures 8.5"x 5". I added some Basic Grey paper {Bittersweet} & few embellies I made. One was a stamp, one was computer generated & lastly I used a Stampin Up stamp. I also added a few prima flowers & brads. Then snuck in a tiny lil owl, he's a stamp from Maya Road. Oh & the scallops were cut from Mini Monograms cartridge.I think I may have cut the word {MOM} from Wild card. I am going to add a couple goodies in the bags for a gift, probably a gift cert. to her favorite local restaurant. One of the girls on BBTB did a BD card out of this cut & I loved it. I'll have to go back & see who it was.

Thanks for looking. :)

Little Bit about Me....

2008-02-18T02:43:00.000-05:00

I am a SAHM currently to my 12 yr. old son. I am married & have two grown, beautiful daughters, who are out on their own. Where did the time go?? I love to scrapbook, make cards, & do digital photography. In the summer you can probably find me in my garden, at the beach or out for a walk. I LOVE the summer months....
I plan to display some of my creations here & hope it inspires someone else to make something fun to share.

Take care & be well and please be kind to others. With this world the way it is, we all need to try and make this world a better place.

If not for us, then for our children.
