Alphabet Flash Cards FCCB #217

 I made this for a cute little girl that I tend.  She is turning 2 next month.  I had to make sure the cards had a ladybug in them, so she'll never forget me.  This is a great project to use a lot of cartridges.   Also used up some retired paper.  The letters on the front are stamped, and the words on the back are computer generated.  I then made a template to cut the tags out with  my Cricut.  After finishing the cards and the container, I laminated everything, to help make it last a long time.  I should have kept track of how many hours I have into this project, but I think it would devastate me.  So, I'll just look at how cute it is, how fun it was to make, and the little smile I am sure it will receive.

Happy Frog

For my niece!  She is turning into a beautiful woman.  I still remember the cute little girl that I met, and adopted!  She's always loved frogs. Also you may have noticed, frogs are attracting me this year.  Not sure why~ I already have my prince  :0)
Thanks for stopping by, have a terrific day!!!

Daddy Day Presents

Well, I finally got them done.  I have been trying to get this little project done all week. There has been one thing after another.  So I haven't been able to.  Now, it's down to the nitty gritty.  Thank goodness the world cooperated with me today, or I would've been doing this Sunday morning. Ugggh!   These are the gifts my daughter and bonus daughter are giving their dad's to celebrate father's day!

Here is one of phrases:

In the entire MILKY WAY of  dads, I really SKORE'd when I got you!
You make me SNICKER when you talk like Marvin the Martian.
I admire that you can fix any WHATCAMACALLIT.
Dad, I wouldn't trade you for 100GRAND!
Hope you have an EXTRA special Fathers Day!!!

I cut the boxes out at 7" the cards are cut at 3" using "Sweet Treats"!  We taped the candy bars onto popsicle sticks then stuck them in foam.  Of course wrapped them all pretty, and they are ready to roll.  I may make my dad one also.  Still trying to decide. I am entering this in the Fabtabulous Cricut challenge me Monday!

Challenge #214 Celebrate Dad  

Hurry go your project you made for your dad with your Cricut.... you have until Sunday!  You could win a fantastic prize from SVGcuts $50.00 gift card... sounds great to me! 

I had a fun time with the girls making these....they will get the credit, even though I did the work.  That's what you sign up though, when you are mom.  (or bonus mom)  Have a great day!

Say it with Flowers

When I started, I made the flowers because they looked fun. 
Then came the paper, and the ribbon, and the phrase.  When I was finished it reminded me of Danielle, Jason's daughter. 
I absoluely love this DSP paper from SU with the sparkles all over.

24 Notes

This is the cake I made for my sons 24 Birthday.  So hard to believe that he is 24 already.  He is almost older than me.  ;)  He's been into music as long as I can remember.  It really became a passion for him when he was 14, he was hit by a car.  I got him a guitar, and he taught himself how play.  His favorite was Metallica.  It's a good thing I love metal as well.  Anyway,  I was scrolling through Cricut craft room.  "Quarter Note" really grabbed my attention!  So I ordered it, and had a blast making this cake.  Especially using the notes to make the pattern on the fondant.  The more I use my airbrush system the more I love it.  Hope you had a wonderful day, son.  I love you so much, and I am proud of you!    **The inside of this cake is checkerboard.   Cherry Chip, and Kahlua.  With a cream cheese Kahlua middle.

Big Mean Fishy

I was just messing around day with my quill stuff.  Jason looked through my book, and said I should make ALL the ocean things for him.  Well, I will have to do that a little at a time.  But I started with this mean looking fishy!  It's for my babe's happy birthday today!  

It's kind of cute though. 

Happy Birthday to the love of my life!

Transformer Cake

Check out this Transformer cake.  

I hope this little boy loved it!  

He should right?

Everything is eadible, the transformer and flames are hand sculpted.    

The cake is Chocolate with Cream cheese filling.  

Kitty & Yarn

Mom Judy loves to sew, and knit. I made this little kitty card for her!  I think she will like it.  She will at least like that I thought of her, and hand made her a card.  She's sentimental like that.  By the way, Judy is Jason's mom, and she is a great person.  The kitty is colored with my Copics. I really enjoy using them. I get on a kick some nights, while we are watching a movie, and I color like a mad woman.  Then I have to put together cards.  I like using the sketches from Splitcoast Stampers, they have a weekly sketch challenge. It's kind of fun to play along. The yarn is cut with my Cricut machine.  Sometimes I go wild with that thing too.  Just cuttin out this and that~ not quit having a purpose for all of them.  It's a good thing I know a lot of people to make cards for.  LOL

Cars Theme for Archer

 The customer for this cake is very special to me.  He is one of my kids I watch at my daycare.  He talked about this cake he wanted for months.  You know how kids are, they plan their birthday for years ahead.  Oh, if only they were that exciting as you got older.  BLAH!

The flavor of this cake is white, with raspberry cream cheese filling.    Perfect cake if you have a child that loves 'Disney Cars'.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

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.

Drinking of You

Have a wonderful birthday Rachael!  Wish we could be there to celebrate with you.  I guess you'll just have to drink a margarita for me!  Love you, hope you have a wonderful day!
