Summer Penguins

I know penguins are typically in a winter setting, and that they love the snow.  That's great for a winter birthday celebration.  This cake was for a summer birthday though.  Flowers became the prop. I really love the cake stand, that I set everything up on.  This spread was made for Jasons daughter.  

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. 


Recipe:

Technique: Quilling

Paper: Pink Pirouette, perfect plum, DSP

Go Utes Graduation Cake

Jason's daughter graduated from the University of Utah this year.
This is the cake I made for the grad party.  She was a cheerleader
for the Utes football, I thought it would be cute to include some
cheerleaders!

She absolutely loved her cake, and I am so glad!
It sure was a lot of work, but I was honored to make it.

I used the Cricut-everyday paperdolls to cut out
the cheerleaders.
and "" SU-set that I borrowed from my lovely niece!

Congrats Danielle~ you are an inspiration!

Everything is ready~ Let's do this!

Bread, Wine and Salt

Danielle and Brent just moved into their own town home. They have only been there for a little over two weeks. Last night they had their house warming party. I was truly amazed at how much they had accomplished. It looks great, such a warm and inviting place to be. Here is the card and wall hanging I made for her. We gave them a gift basket. If you've ever seen "It's a wonderful life" you know that they give bread, so the house will never know hunger. Salt, so life will always have flavor, wine to bring happiness and prosperity. The Candle I added so you will always see the light even on the darkest day.

Here is the framed art I made for them.  I wanted to stamp it to match the card.

I haven't stamped for a while. I decided to pop over to Split Coast Stampers for a little inspiration. Of course I found it. Here is a great little tutorial,on Triple Stamping~ which I used for my card. I had so much fun stamping the card. That I decided to make them the framed art to match. 

Recipe: 

Paper: Early Espresso cut into three pieces, 4- 1/4x4- 1/4, 3- 1/4x 3- 1/4, 2- 1/4x 2- 1/4.  White cut into 4x4, 3x3, and 2x2. 

Pads:  Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Early Expresso

Sets: "Bliss", "Four Frames" 

I also rolled the tissue paper before putting in around each gift.  For some silly reason I did not take a picture of the entire basket.  Oh well, I will have to make another one.  

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate the support.
