Wise Owl Grad Cards

Since I have a son graduating this year, that means he has a lot of friends that
are also graduating. I am trying to get a little bit of head start on these.
Not too bad I guess…… I have a month until graduation. The wise owl is so
cute, and I really like the paper that looks like a chalk board behind him.



Stamp Sets: "tassel time"
Cricut: "create a critter
Ink Colors: versa mark w/white embossing powder
Paper Colors: DSP, early espresso, so saffron, tempting turquoise
accessories: bling

Buchaneer Grad Cards




I made this grad card for Sam. If you don't remember Sam, she is Bradon's
girlfriend. She is also graduating this year. Then off to college for her too.
She better come visit us a lot, because I will miss her terribly!
But I love you, Sam, and I am so proud of you!

This one is in blue and has a pirate theme, for my son. He is graduating from
High School! My second to graduate, my how time flies.
He'll begin college in the fall, I am so excited! I am so very proud of him.
He's had some struggles, but pulled through. Makes me sad that he's
growing up, I'm thankful he's not leaving the nest yet. :)
I love you Bradon. This new chapter in your life is going to be fun and
exciting.

Softball Cupcakes

I had fun designing these cute lil cupcakes.... The cupcakes are cherry with cream cheese. I painted the jerseys to match the team, at least pretty close, including their numbers, and the coaches. The mitts and balls are hand sculpted.

Cute Lil' Froggie


I bought this stamp set over a year ago. I think I may have used it the first day........ I wanted to enlarge it. So I stamped the image, then used my copy machine to make it bigger.  When I completed the card I immediately thought of Jason's sister Rachael.  I hope you enjoy your card Rachael!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Stamp Sets: "flower for all seasons" 
Stamp Pads: basic black 
Paper Colors: baja breeze, elegant eggplant, pumpkin pie 
Accessories: eggplant ribbon, button, SU bling

The frog has such a cute little face

I like adding a button on top of the ribbon.  Looks like a flower kind of.



You can see the big difference after I enlarged it.

Hope your day is as happy, as this little froggie makes me! Photobucket

Birthday Cookies

These are the cookies I baked for my daughter to take to school for her birthday treats.
At first she didn't want to take them, then she decided she did.
Gotta admit, it hurt my feelings for a little.
They are my usual cream cheese cookies with fondant.
I haven't heard the report back, if the kids enjoyed them or not.
Looking at the picture, it would have been funner to do a rainbow of colors.
It's a good idea, I may try that another time!

Nightmare Before Christmas

I made this cake for my beautiful daughter.  My baby is 11, I am so grateful to have her, she makes my life so much fuller.  She wanted a topsy turvy cake with the Corpse Bride. We couldn't find Corpse Bride figures, so she setteld for The Nightmare Before Christmas.  This is my first attempt at a topsy turvy cake.  It turned out alright.  I learned a few things, the next will be easier.  I also left myself pressed for time.  Bottom line it tasted delicious, and she absolutley loved it!!!
