Wedding Cake

Well I am all done my cake courses and can now focus more on paper crafting. I have a wedding cake to share with you but there is a sad horror story!!! Isn't there always when a wedding cake is involved!!!! When I was going to decorate my 6" cake it fell off the table and landed on the floor face up!!! So I scooped it up and fixed it up to decorate for class. My instructor was very surprised how calm I remained! Ahhh it's only cake- not like it was for an actual wedding- thank goodness! I'm sure my husband will eat it!! He doesn't waste ANYTHING!!!!

I have the fundraiser tomorrow so I will share some stuff I made on Sunday. Have a great weekend!

Flower splays

I finally finished my one class of gum paste flowers. We made up 2 splays- one with Lillie's and stephanotos and one with a star gazer. I think they turned out beautiful! What a great experience! Now on to getting my 30 fondant roses done for my final Thursday class. We are to make a 2 tiered cake with roses!!!! Wednesdays final class is a basket weave cake with flowers made from royal icing. I'll post both cakes when I'm done! Better go I have alot of work ahead of me!!!

Finally a card-not a cake, well....

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great weekend! I finally made up a card. Feels like it's been soo long. Lately my focus has been on cakes! I have my final week of May then I am done all my cake classes. Right now I have 2 classes on the go so it has been very busy!!! You know 4 kids, 2 classes , baseball and that's just the fun stuff!!!

Excitement!!!

Wow there is alot of things happening in the next few months that are exciting!! For one there will be a New Stampin'Up! catalogue out on JULY 1- Stampin'Up! will then only have one catalogue per year but 3 mini catalogues within that year. I am always excited to see what new stuff comes out!!!

This also brings about the Retiring stamp list, and this should be out June 1. The in colors will be replaced with new in colors of coarse in the new catalogue. So if you love the colors as much as I do you might want to stock up before their gone!

Also there is the buy 3 get 1 FREE designer and Texture paper until May 31st. Don't miss out on this great deal. Me and 3 of my class ladies did a deal of picking a Designer paper each then doing a share of each- so we all got a 12x6 of every piece-of the 4 pkg we choose for only $10 each-I absorbed the shipping cost!

Well I have a few things to get ready for my cake class- but hope to have a post later tonight! Enjoy the beautiful day!

2 page layout

Finally here is that 2 pager I have been promising!!! Sorry it is late, I have soo many excuses..ladies retreat, 2 cake classes , was really sick for 2 days and have been trying to catch up ever since. I noticed that it has been awhile since I have crafted and man can I tell...I struggled to complete almost anything now. So now I tell myself that I need to be more focused on crafting too! Not just cakes. Well I hope you like them. Enjoy the week it is suppose to be beautiful!

Another Cake

I soo love the way this cake turned out! It was for my Class 3-2nd class, but in my case , my first class cause I missed the first one cause I had a great craft class with a bunch of great ladies! Sorry I really wanted to post my scrap book page that I have been promising, hopefully I will have it done tomorrow. Life for me has been crazy busy lately....so I have been backtracking to catch up, so please be patient! Until then you can drool over my cake!!!

Card Challenge

My up line put out a card challenge for us using more mustard and a shade of purple....I just realized we were only to use one shade of purple and one accessory. I used a rub on and my absolutely fav stamp Fifth Avenue Floral. I stamped it in versa mark then heat embossed with white powder. I soo love this look! Hope you like it! Enjoy your week. I hope to be back tomorrow with a scrap book layout-fingers crossed!

Mothers Day

Hope you all had a great Mothers Day! Here's a Mothers day cake I made- all Fondant!

Opps-forgot to post the front of the flap card. Sorry it's a little blurry.

Mother's Day Class

Well tonight was my Mothers Day class. What another great night. Thank you ladies for coming out, I had a blast even though I was a bit unorganized and "out to lunch" (with Julie") LOL. I really love embossing especially with the stamp set Fifth Avenue(thanks to Heather- for getting me hooked on the stamp!!!) Next class we'll work on embossing with the templates. We can make up a bunch of cards. May even do more heat embossing, just because I LOVE it.
We made up a gift bag, embossed on small pots,tied with frayed knots. We added a goodie bag with candies in the pot. We wrapped up 2 small chocolate bars. We them heat embossed the outside of our flap card and when you open it up there is a bag of seed-flowers they can plant-then a pic can go in the framed pocket after. I got the flap card idea from another stampin'Up! Demo-Mary Jo Albright April 11 2008 entry. She is another VERY talented demonstrator.
Lastly I made each one of the ladies a Jumbo cupcake in a flower pot and added homemade flowers for Mothers Day! Hope they were Yummy!!! Have a great weekend.

More Cakes!!!

I thought I would post more cakes!!! Just finished my fondant and gum paste class last week and made a birthday cake for a friends daughter. I have been busy working on my mother's day class and will post pics after the class on Thursday!! So you'll have to wait til then!! Until then I'll leave you with a few cakes to drool over.
