Sunflower and Sunshine!!!

Finally the sunshine is back to brighten your day and mine . With that said ,I did up a sunflower card. The color yellow just brightens my day!I like the hostess stamp set Darling dots. It comes with a variety of cute little stamps. Over the next few days I will be using this set. So if you like it as much as I do , you should consider hosting a party and earn it for FREE. A $200 order or party gets you this set plus $20 of your choice in Stampin'Up! goodies!!! Tempting isn't it!!! I will also be using the God's beauty hostess set too!!! I LOVE the butterfly! So have a great week and I hope to see a comment about what you think!

Another cake!!

Sorry I left quick from my last post- the juice was down the back by the cords and the outlet was starting to make a sizzling sound-so I had to shut it all down and dry it all up!!!
Well you all are in for another treat-cake post that is. I was at my niece's last night and today is her 14th birthday so I made her a cake. Didn't know what to make so I came up with a Roxy style cake. Roxy is a clothes line geared at that age group.
Love the colors and style they have. I thought it turned out bright and cute. Least to say she loved it!!!
Well hope you all have a great day.

Easter Cards

Hi everyone!!! Hope you all had a great weekend. Sorry my post is late- my daughter keeps taking the cord so I can't download my pics!!! Hold on a minute......man my 2 year old- Sadie just spilled juice on all the computer wires!!! Never a dull moment around here let me tell you!!! Ok back to the cards....be back puter is making a weird noise!!!

Chocolate Cake

Thursday was my last cake class for course 1. So I made a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream icing and put white roses on it. I pictured it to look way better but I still loved it- it tasted yummy!!! I even put cherry pie filling between the layers! Mmmmmm.
So now that class 1 is completed I joined the fondant and gum paste class that starts April 9th at Michael's!! I am sooo excited to start this class. I hear it's like playing with play dough but tastes way better-LOL. I never would of thought that cake decorating could be soo fun!!! So I have some time to paper craft. I did make up a few cards and will post them tomorrow. Until then you all can drool over my chocolate cake- just kidding! Hope you all have a great weekend and hope you pop back tomorrow evening!

Regionals !!!

Ok, Regionals were very fun! If your a Stampin'Up! demonstrator you know how exciting and fun it can be. I didn't make any swaps , but next year I will for sure!!! This year they were held in London. It was alot closer to me so I was able to go. We did alot of great projects. The 2 cards I am about to post are cased in design but I used a different stamp set and colored cardstock and ribbon. I loved the cards that much that I really didn't want to change to much! I will play around with the cards later to change it up more. Hope you like them!

Missing Cord

Well I haven't put anything up on my blog lately because the camera download cord is missing!! The first place I always look is my daughters room, and of course it's not there- which is a first but she has it at her dads!!! Hmmm just as I thought . So I will look in my pics to see what I have for a post! So I hope to have it back tonight and then I'll post a few things. Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Birthday Cake

Well now with the cake done and out of the way I can relax with some stamping!!! I had made up a cake for a friends son who is having his 6th birthday party!! He loves transformers so I thought no problem I can find a pan and make one up! Well to make a long story short I had to draw and transfer onto the cake then decorate. What a challenge and it was fun. The only way to get better is learn from your mistakes and practise!!!! I do love the way it turned out but there would be a few things I learned that I can change next time!! So here it is!!!! Be prepared to be amazed!!! LOL

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Man I have been soo busy lately that I haven't had much time to sit at the computer to blog all the great crafting things I've done!!! Last week on Friday Heather , my amazing and talented up line held an event at King's College a Pre get together before Regional! It was aw some. I met a few great ladies, we all ate Lasagna prepared by the college, along with salad, garlic bread and dessert!!! Mmm it was soo GOOD! We then crafted with the Fith avenue flower stamp. A I WANT so bad set!!! I will post a pic or two from the event.
Then Saturday was Regionals in London.Great projects and an awesome time. Really wish Shelli was able to be there but she wasn't.Heather and most of her down line was there, around 30 of us!!! We all had a BLAST. Will post a few pics from Regional too!
Then the other day I had 5 tween over for a class and fun day. My daughter and 4 of her friends came over. We made pizza, cupcakes , 2 cards and an accordion scrap book. They all were LOUD but it was fun!!! Here are a few pics from that.
I better go I have my cake decorating class tonight and I have promised to make a cake for a friends boy for his birthday tomorrow!

Owl Card

Sorry I wanted to post again on the owl card because it posted sideways and doesn't do it justice. I love this card. Hopefully it will work this time!

A Note of Thanks

I have been playing around with the Sale-a-Bration designer Paper again and made up a card with the chipboard. Love the owls and birds-they are too cute!!! I like the dimensional they add to a card, and I like different! I also added a bit of paper piercing along the bottom. I love the look it gives a card. Hope you like it!

Congratulations !!!

I made up a small gift for a friend who is having an open house for her business. She is a hairdresser and recently added a special machine to her room for hair removal. I forget the actual name of it, but it's amazing!!! So I wanted to give her a small gift of a healing sanctuary cd, a tin of white tea and a vanilla votive. I put it all in clear bag from Martha Stuart and decorated it with the Sale-a-bration Designer Paper and the ribbon, and 2 stamp sets-Polka dot punches and Congrats. I totally love all these FREE gifts I earned by spending $60 to receive 1 free item. You have until the end of the month to earn any of these!

Here is a layout from my Got Sketch 103. I love the layout because it's a two pager and you can use lots of pics. So things like parties, vacation and Christmas I always have ALOT of pics. I have also scraped a vacation one before but only a single page. Well I used all Stampin'Up! paper and embellishments. Hope you like it. Sorry the lighting is bad- late at night again!!!

Fundraiser cards

Here are half of the cards from the fundraiser. Aren't they just the cutest!!! I love this stamp set from Stampin'Up! called Animal Crackers. They have soo much stuff that I love...I have to tell myself to slow down with buying it all because I find I forget about other stuff I bought and barely used! I tell myself I get to pick only a few things each time, so I can fully enjoy them first! I love the giraffe!
