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.

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.
