I'm alive!!

Believe it or not, I'm alive...I have been neglecting my blog big time. I have been busy trying to get stuff together for my mother's day class and am struggling. I think that's because allot of my focus lately has been on my cake classes. Have you ever had one of those times where you just aren't as creative as before. Where nothing comes to mind or it just doesn't turn out as planned? Well I'm here!!! Not liking it! Sorry ladies I said I would post my Mother's day idea but I 'm gonna say now it's a surprise -So sorry!!! But I will share a regional post just to help you all out with some great ideas. So enjoy- there awesome!!!

Layout from Springwater

My family went for an adventure walk the other day in Springwater. It was a beautiful day and nice walk through the trails. The kids love to look for every type of creature they can find. We were very lucky to stumble across a turtle...It even posed for the picture, so it seemed. Hope you like the two page layout. The one with two pics I used a layout from Liz Goldhawk another stampin'Up demo. She used a different kit but layout is pretty much the same. Hope to post more later. Sorry it's been so long I have been busy with classes and painting. I am also working on my Mother's day class.

Stamp Class

Well last night was one of my monthly stamp classes and we did two step stamping and a scrap book page. I had previously posted the two step stamp cards-the ones like regionals. So today I'll post the other card that we did with Fifth Avenue Floral. I also made a cake for the great bunch of ladies that came out!!! Hope you all had fun. Thanks Susie for bringing someone new out. Glad to see you out Anni-hope to see you again!!!
Next month is Mother's day so I'm thinking of having a earlier class and I'm thinking of doing something with both types of embossing!!! I'm looking at May 6th at 7-9.Hope this works for you Janette. Let me know how that works or if you think your interested in coming out. Friends are welcome. (Julie your welcome to leave me a comment any time-you great Bow maker!!!)

Cake and craft prep

Sorry to you all. I have been very busy getting stuff ready for Easter and for my craft class on Wednesday that I haven't had a chance to post. I hope you all had a great Easter. I know I did. I had made 2 cakes and bunny cupcakes. I will post the goodies first and will be back tomorrow to post the scrap book page. Have a great night!

So be sure to leave me a comment if you'd like to have a great night of fun!!!!

Birthday Cake

The other day I had made up a birthday cake for a friends sister. She thought a polka dot cake would be perfect. I haven't yet started my fondant and gum paste class until this Thursday so I had to think of something fast. I came up with a cake- I thought it was super cute. The Birthday girl loved it! Hope you like it too!

Level 1 Hostess set and New mini Golden oldies!

I worked on 2 cards the other day after I made another birthday cake for a friend. I waited til today to take the pics in the natural light so they look better. First I used the Darling dots. I love this set! It is so versatile for any type of card. I used the lady bugs and the flower together. Love the colors I choose-they are very bright and cheery!!!
Then for the Golden Oldies- I love this set- It reminds me of me and my friend. We always make jokes about being old but still pretty "hot- mamma's" for our age. So this set I had to have. I love the way my card turned out. It so reminds me of a grandma type with the background DP and the chair I covered with DP. I even added crystal effects to her glasses- you probably won't be able to see it in the photo. But let me know what you think. Both cards I designed myself, with all Stampin" Up! supplies. Enjoy your Sunday!

God's Beauty

Well I worked really had on this card this afternoon and still am not satisfied with the butterfly. I have tried many different ways to make it look good , so I gave up and this is where it's going to stay. I know it's brown and yellow, but I tried blue and it just didn't work. I also didn't have the blue I wanted. Ever envision a card and it is totally different when your done? That always happens to me!!! Any way I used all Stampin'Up! products. The stamp set is a Level 1 hostess set called God's beauty. I love this set and truly God does make beauty! Hope you all have a great day!
