LEGO cake & Another Sweet Birthday

As promised here is the picture of the LEGO cake.....much better than the cupcake/tree/gumdrop cake. This time it actually looks like a LEGO. The boy was happy too, he has the flu so there is a standstill on eating it, but he loved it and the card too!


Today is another birthday card for an amazing young lady. She turns 18 today and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. She is full of spunk so I thought a little color would be perfect. I love this set but I haven't used it a lot. Have sets like that? Think your going to use them a lot and then don't? I love these colors though, so bright and fun....screams teenager!

Alright everyone have a Happy Hump Day.....C-ya!

Let Me Share a Secret

We all have secrets, well let me show you mine.........can you guess? Yup I cannot decorate cakes. I'm semi-ok at baking but this is just plain scary. I borrowed one of those giant cupcake pans from my boss. I know what your thinking, "this is supposed to be a cupcake"? =) It started out looking like a cupcake while it was baking. Then while putting it together it became my Christmas tree cake...maybe it's a Christmas bush? Anywho I thought I'd show you why I decorate paper not cakes!
Now here's what I'm better at....paper and stamps and ink and ribbon! I got the tutorial HERE on Becky Roberts' blog (my amazing upline).


I have also lined up my Valentine Workshop! It's scheduled for January 15th @ 2pm. Cost is $10 and must be paid by January 7th. We will be making 5 "simple yet elegant" cards....I can't wait! Hopefully this one goes better than my first Open House =(

Hope you all have a great Thursday....gotta get through this work day then 3 days off.....I love federal holidays!

C-ya!

A Cute Cake

So yesterday I thought I was doing so great on my sketch blogs, I was rockin' and rollin' gettin some cards made. Then I realized I was looking at all the sketches from a week ago.....ah fooey. Oh well, some cute cards came outta my craft room and here's one. A few months ago my DH brought home literally a box of Stampin Up stamp sets.....yes I have a wonderful husband! Apparently a guy at the swap meet was selling them for his wife. I got 20+ sets for $80 not too shabby huh?! I've been trying slowly but surely to use the stamp sets and this one one of them.
