April showers bring May flowers

Was super excited to play with my new Jaded Blossom's stamps and dies.  As soon as I saw the Friendly Candies set I knew what I wanted to do with the rain cloud, sun and flower...

 

 

Love the 3d umbrella svg for my cutter that Pamela L made for me, she sure is fantastic!!  I could totally see this as a super cute baby/wedding shower table center piece.  If you would like the file just leave your email address below and I will send it to you :)

Roses in Winter

Made some roses for Sweet Celebrations Wedding Cakes today...


And here's a close up


All you need to make these are the Stampin Up Ornament and 1 1/4 circle punches, yeap thats it!

Punch out 1 circle and 10 ornaments

( sorry not sure why the pic is sideways!)

Curl them to give them some shape. Some tight and some just slightly curled

Start to layer them on your circle base Use 4 for your bottom layer with the 'petals' that have been the least curled

Next you layer 3 of the tighter petals, I suggest off setting the petals so they are not perfectly lined up.

Then you finish the center off with the last and tightest rolled petals to get this flower!

You can use more petals for a fuller flower I've tried 6 at the bottom, next layer 4, next 3 and finish with 3 at center.

Stay tuned to see what Sweet Celebrations Wedding Cakes did with these roses :) Pics to follow!!

Waiting for Flowers!

March 1 came in like a lamb here! It was a beautiful day and made me think of spring and flowers. I am sooo ready for that season!!! Today I made some flowers just to tied me over until the real ones come!

The flower heads are made with the Flower Daisies die #2 and the Boho Blssoms punch just layer them largest to smallest. The base of the flower is the 1 3/4 scallop circle double punched and the stem is just a section of paper rolled up to make a skinny tube.

The Photobooth was a big hit! Dean from Premier Photobooth can be found here http://www.premierphotobooth.ca/ if you are considering a photo booth for your next even I'd say go for it!!! The line up was never ending, the kids (and adults) came up with some hilarious pictures. They made a scrapbook for my daughter with all the pictures for a keepsake, awsome idea!!!!

Special thanks to Earl the DJ. He kept the kids 'party rockin' the whole night long! There was never a minute the kids were sitting every song was their fav!

Cupcake Invitations

I can not believe that my daughter is turning 13! Something that special needs to be celebrated!!! Here are the invitations I made for her Sweet 13th Birthday party (happening on the 20th). I used my Cricut machine to cut all the pieces for the invitations, they went together so easy and quick... which is a good thing because she needed 75 of them! I will be sure to post pics of the party, so stay tuned!

Hi! Welcome to my blog! I thought this years New Years resolution should be something I enjoy doing and want to accomplish... so why not a blog about my favorite past time... crafting! I have been wanting to start a blog for a while but always got intimidated with the how and where to start, so I have decided to just jump on in and go with the flow :) I hope you all will help me with my resolution of having a successful blog :) So let's get started!!!
