Finished Cake

Here is my finished cake using the cricut cake leaves. I am quite satisfied with how it turned out. And everyone says it tasted great. More scrapbooking things to come, I have a whole weekend of fun planned.

Cricut Cake!!!

Today was the first time I used my cricut cake. It went really well. I am taking cake decorating classes so I made lots of flowers today. I had to make some leaves so I finally brought out the cricut cake and used it for the first time. After the leaves were done I just did some fun stuff. I made 2 crowns and added decorations. I am very happy with the results and cannot wait to decorate a whole cake using the cricut cake.

(Sorry about poor picture quality, the phone was the only thing handy at the time)

DONE

Tonight I finished all my projects for the BoBunny design team submission. I think my favorite element is the letter above. It is actually a BoBunny product, used to make your own word albums. I used it to accent my new last name, Rosas. It was originally black, but I painted it green with some Making Memories acrylic paint. After it dried I stamped it in purple with one of the BoBunny stamps that matches this paper line. I'm pretty sure you'll see more of these letters show up on my projects and layouts.

New Scrapbook Do-Dads

UPS visited me today... my order from scrapbook.com came a day EARLY!!! How excited was I when I went on the tracking website and the estimated delivery day had been moved a day earlier. When does that ever happen??? I look like an advertisement for BoBunny, but that was kind of the point. I am applying for their design team and since the local scrapbook stores didn't have any embellishments to go with the paper lines, I had to order embellishments online. It's amazing what a few flowers, brads and stickers can add to a project. I'm workingon a mini-album and it needed a little more than paper.

More cards from scraps...

(BoBunny Sun Kissed Paper Line)

This is a quick card made from scraps again. Truth be honest these scraps came from the class I taught this last weekend. I had two little girls in my class and they through huge pieces of scrap into the trash. I'm guessing since they didn't pay for it, they don't value it as much as I do. I took it right back out and decided to make some cards with it. I have had 4 birthdays already this weekend and one more to come before the week is over. So needless to say, I've needed quite a few cards lately. I buy the solid color blank card with envelopes from the local craft store, then just add my design on the outside. So much easier on the wallet too, I figure each card costs me under 50 cents.

An even easier way to go are the predesigned blank cards. Little to no effort needed to make it usable. My husband gave me about 2 seconds to throw this one together. We were arleady running late to the party because of the class I was teaching.

Inspiration from pictures

I get so excited when I snap a picture that's different from the usual. An interesting subject that I can already mentally see the page in my head. Like this picture of my husband with a bib on and a huge pot of crab. I know I saw crab paper somewhere I cannot wait to make the layout!!

Almost Friday...

Man has this week taken forever to end!! I have been thinking about scrapbooking all week and have had very little time. This is just a simple birthday card I made. I've tried to get in the habit of making cards from scraps, when I finish a layout and have leftover pieces. It's been working out well since I have a large family, I ususally end up needing a birthday card or two per month.

Been busy BoBunny-ing...

So I have been working on lots of things BoBunny. Which is great because I LOVE their papers!! I am applying for their design team(fingers crossed). Here I go again with the Peacock Lane, I am so infatuated with this paper line. Granted I could be partial to it because it is the perfert colors for my wedding photos, purple and green. Either way, I just can't get over the beauty of the color combinations. This was a simple layout of my party favors and the labor of love that went into them.

Something creative...

So here's a little sneak peek at the BoBunny Sun Kissed mini album that I will be teaching at Scrapbook Blessings this month. It's a 6"x6" mini album and actually has 25 pages... so you can get a great amount of summer fun pictures in it.

And the Scrapbooking Continues... I LOVE Holiday Weekends

I completed 4 pages yesterday, but I have to say I wasn't terribly motivated. I watched some TV, cooked some food, cleaned a few things. What I didn't do was have a normal 4th of July... we didn't even see any fireworks. We did hear a lot though, our neighborhood is insane with illegal fireworks, it finally stopped at about 11:45pm which was nice for the dog's sake.

We opted out of all normal things this year for a day of complete nothingness... and it was NICE. I was in my scrapbook room pretty much all day and my husband was in front of the TV. We barbequed hamburgers, I made a cheese cake for dessert, but other than that nothing. And it will continue today... I'm setting a goal of 6 pages today. I plan on being a little more motivated. Truth be told the thing that held me up yesterday was the tv. In particular, the tv show The Singing Bee. Have you seen it? It comes on CMT and I love to play/sing along and see just how good I really am. Haha! Definitely not good enough to be on that show, but I enjoy singing.

Happy 5th of July... Scrapbook-on...

Happy 4th of July!!!

Hope everyone's day is great, I know mine will be. I plan on being a scrapbook bum ALL day!! I'm going to finish up my 7gypsies Artist Printers tray. I'm using the new BoBunny Peacock Lane line. I love the beautiful purple, green and teal colors. Enjoy the fireworks!!

Phase 1

Choosing your color and design scheme... it takes a lot more than cutting rectangles. Pictures are next.
