Oh So Very Lucky Plaque

My Bestie, saw this cute decoration idea on Pinterest. The wheels started turning.  How can we do this?  Well.... My girlfriend runs a trucking company, and has plenty of pallets.  We just had to cut them, sand them a little, drill some holes, hook them together.  Seemed like a very fun project, so we shared the idea with the girls.  Everyone was on board, and it became craft night.  First we painted white all over the boards, used a stencil to draw on the phrase. I used my Cricut to cut the stencil, details below.  We used acrylic paint to add some color.  The shamrock is simply made of paper.  I cut out 3 per board, and used decoupage to glue them each other,  add a top coat, punch a couple holes in it...voila a button.  I added a brad to minion the shamrock, some hemp to the bottom, and a metal tag.  Then coated the whole plaque with a clear coat.  I am so happy with this project.  It was fun to hang out, and make such a cute decoration.  It also happened to be national wine day, of course we celebrated that too.

Teal Wedding

The client came to a cake tasting, and said my cakes rocked.  The night before my girlfriend and I stayed up and made alcohol flavored cakes.  We made Kahlua, Amaretto, Raspberry liquor, rum & Honey Suckle wine.   We did a bit of taste testing as well, mmmm delicious!   The final flavor she chose was Kahlua for the top and Rum flavored for the bottom two layers.  The flowers are died to match the wedding colorsl.  It looked so beautiful when I got it all together.

You're on my mind

I messing around with my chalks one day, and made this really great background. I just wasn't sure what to do with it. So guess where it went? yep- the magic unfinished box.

I used....SU-Upsy Daisy, and stampin' pastels. Rose red paper, cut with cake basics in two different sizes. Then I put some Su-iridescent ice on the butterflies. I knew I liked the rose red, so I had to check my color coach to see what was recomended - well baja breeze won!!! I added some sticky diamonds, and I think it turned out beautiful Let me know what you think! See you tomorrow!

By the Waterfall

Yes, yes another leaf page. See I am inspired!!!!!!

This beautiful paper is from Stampin' Up! It is retired but we do have others to choose from.

These pictures were taken the same day as the ones I posted yesterday, but these are our serious pics. The reason we went up there was to get some good family photos.

I like how the pictures turned out, it is beautiful up there. Quit the climb in skirt and dress boots though. Thanks for visiting today!

I wanted to try my hand at a ribbon rose, and some swirls. This is how it turned out. It ended up being dessert for my family. The inside is just yellow cake, with cream cheese frosting. It was very nummy!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day! ~Sharon

I Got a Cricut Cake Machine!!!!!

I am sooo excited...I got a Cricut Cake on Friday for my birthday. tee hee my birthday isn't until August. It was on a good sale, so my wonderful BF got it for me. Yes, I know I am spoiled, but I thoroughly enjoy it, ~and I am so worth it =) ha ha! Along with the Cricut Cake, I got the sweet treats cartridge. These boxes were the first things I made, one with a 2 and the other with a 4. Both for my cute nephews. I was trying to think of something fun I could fill the boxes with, all I was coming up with was a bag of candy. I had one of those miraculous early morning creative revolutions (at 2:20 am), I thought that cookies would cute in them. AND I could use my cake! Oh the beginnings of a happy day. "Now go back to sleep until a normal hour. "

So this is my box--I used SU "birthday party" simply scrappin' kit, for both boxes.

As you are looking at these remember this is my first attempt, so please...be gentle...

The first thing I tried to cut was some cookie dough, No, I can't start with the typical stuff. But the dough has to be too thin, and the recipe didn't work very well. blah blah blah, (I'll try this another day) on to the gum paste. I used the cake basics that came with it, and started cutting some shapes.

Then moved onto mickey and friends to cut out the car, airplane, and train. The beautiful thing about kids, is they are not picky, and they think you are so cool. The mom sent me a text the next morning..."Max is eating one of his cookies, she tells him Aunt Sharon makes the best cookies, and cakes. He says and the best pancakes." I just love that boy! This is for my other nephew. I am anxious to try making some more. They were fun. Thanks for looking! Enjoy your day.
