Colton's Gradution

I made this card for my nephew. Technically he's my great nephew, I mean he is great, but he's my nieces son. Well, you get the point. I wanted to let him know how proud we are of him. Finally, graduation day is here. Love you Colton! Congratulations on your hard work!

Make a wish baby girl

For my darling daughter. The thirteen candles on the card are sadly no coincidence. She is growing so fast.  It is breaking my heart with sadness, and with joy.  I love the beautiful young woman she is becoming.  I miss that little girl who was afraid to have mommy out of her sight though.

I picked up this fun little set at Michaels.  The phrase is from SU "make a wish"  I colored the candles, then huffed them.  I got to use up some of my stock pile of paper, and some extra brads I've had for awhile.  The card is 5x7.  I love how it turned out.  I am sure she will love it too.  It fits her personality.  Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

JHS softball senior cake

Pretty easy order to fulfill.  Half chocolate, half vanilla and all for the softball seniors.  Thank Kristi for letting me make this cake for you!  I was thinking I got carried away with all the stars, but they look pretty cool, actually.  The numbers are for the seniors jerseys.  Sorry to see them go I am sure, but on to bigger and better things, so the saying goes.  

Thank you for stopping by today.

Have an incredible day.  

Aquaman

This cake was a blast too!   I loved acumen as a kid.  I watched the Justice League every weekend.  Also on cable withy oldest.  Good times, Good times.  My son who is 18 has a friend, who absolutely love Aquaman.  What a pleasure it was to make this cake for this young lady, after my own heart.  The cake itself is funfetti (or party cake)  with vanilla frosting.  I used fondant to cut out the scales, and make the Aquaman suit.  I was originally going to do an Aquaman print, but i  was out of ink ;(  Oh well, the show must go on~ right.  

Penguin Cake

Look at this cute little penguin cake I made.  It is one of my all time favorite flavors. Yes, of course it has liquor in it.  Kahlua with yep you guessed it Kahlua cream frosting.  This cake is so moist and delicious.  I got to make this cute little guy for one of our Bunco Babes!  She loves penguins, so we did everything penguin for this party.  It was a lot  of fun.  Thanks ladies for playing along, and making the night super fantastic!  He was so fun to make, and such a cute centerpiece.

Dexter's Harley

This was made for a long standing customer of mine.  The top is carrot cake with cream cheese filling.  The bottom is made of chocolate cake with a fluffy Oreo filling.  Harley cakes are fun to make.  I've made 3 for my husband.  For ordering information please contact me.  Cakes by the Bug FB page

Bling Holder

Here is another project I made to organize my office.  I am in a smaller room, so utilizing my space is very important.  If I want to have friend crafters over, we need as much counter space as possible.  So I made this bling organizer to hand up, and hold all of my accessories.

 This is the old bling container.  First of all it's ugly! Second it wastes counter space.

I have had these metal containers sitting idle for years.  When I bought them it was cheaper to

buy a whole case, rather than the exact amount I needed. I am glad to finally be 

putting more of these to good use.  

 I began with my layout.  The board is a burlap canvas.  I wanted to get the most effective way to arrange them.  With a pleasing look.  Now, it's time to start cutting velcro.  I used velcro to adhere
the tins to the canvas.

You can buy the tins with the clear tops, but since I was using product I already had.  I either hot glued one of the items to top of the lid. Or used my SU tools to punch a whole then pushed the brads through.  I then punched 2 holes on the top for hanging.  I think it looks pretty cute, way less space.  When I need some bling, I just grab the tin I want, then when finished scoop the remainders up, and place the tin back in its spot. 

Have an excellent day. Thanks for stopping by.
