Paper Cake and More

Today I finished my paper cake, anybody hungry?  I'm very happy with it.  I'm thinking of making one in all white for on top of a bridal shower gift.  Wouldn't these be cute in pastel colors for baby shower table decorations as well? 

I also tried making my first white-on-white card, but I just couldn't do it.  It's spring and it just needed a little more color.





Now it's time to get some scrapbooking done.


Have a Happy Scrappy/Stampy Day!

Creative Fun

I've been playing in my scraproom today and I made a bunch of monogram cards.  I love how they turned out.










Then I lifted an idea that I got from Pinterest.  I embossed a bunch of tags using my embossing folders so I know what they look like on paper and I have a quick reference when I'm sitting at my desk.




I can't wait to play some more!

Annual New Years Crop - A little early

I will be having my annual New Years Crop just a few days early this year because I have to work on the 2nd and having a crop the day before will be to difficult for me. 

So we are having the crop on Friday, December 30th, 2pm to Midnight.  This event is free with a dish to pass and beverage of choice.
