GLITTER

I had alot of fun playing with my new glue today unfortunately I now have glitter all over me!!
These are very fun, I used a transparency film, stamped with Staz-On and then used my glue to coat the surface, added glitter, and let them dry. They will all find homes on cards soon.

Dipping Cake Balls the easy Way!

Ok, I have baked my cake, mixed in my frosting and then made cake balls with a 1 inch scoop. I place them on parchment paper lined trays and put them in the freezer for several hours. I don't like to use the spoons and this is the easiest way I have found to dip the cake balls.
Place your melts into the Wilton melter, I have tried microwaving, this works the best for me. You can get them at Wal-Mart or Michaels. They have two settings melt, and warm.
Your melts are now all smooth and melted! Ready for the dipping!
Skewer your frozen cake ball with the bamboo skewers you can use for the grill.
Dip your frozen cake ball into the melts! Tap it off. Give it a little swirl as you finish.

Place the dipped cake ball onto a tray with parchment paper added.
When you pull the skewer out it leaves a hole soooooo..........
Have a bowl of sprinkles or sanding sugar ready to dip your cake balls in!
Redip the cake ball into the melts!
After you dip them in the melts, you dip them in the sprinkles!

This is what they look like finished and ready to eat!

Thinking of You! Sketch 54

This card was fun and easy to do! I already had the artwork ready to go! I stamped the polka dot background on the green, and inked the edges of the pink. I tied the button underneath with waxy flax. Hope you enjoy it!

Kappa Kards




A couple of weeks ago, I went to Kansas City for a pledge class reunion. I had a friend paint this fleur de lys for me and I made it into note cards for my Kappa sisters. It was so fun!!

A Wild Valentine









I have a sweet friend, Anna, who LOVES all things animal print. So I ran across this ribbon and made her this quick Valentine! She loved it. I did use the tip of tying the twine around the bow, through the flower and button. It was very quick and cute, don't you think?! If you like what I do please follow me!

Save the Date




This was such a fun Save The Date that I did. We designed it after an antique post card that they found. From the front it looks like a Valentine, but when you open it up, Surprise! I made the base card and copied it onto card stock. Then the hearts were punched, stamped, embossed and glittered! The corner embellishments were also stamped and embossed! Then when all done I hand cut the top and bottom of the card with decorative scissors. Hope you LOVE it!!

Baby Shower Invite

I just finished this Baby Shower invite for a neighbor. I absolutely love it! I stamped the onesie and colored it with Copic markers, they reduced it and copied it for the top and bottom and envelope liner. Made the round Text box and punched them out, ribbon from Hobby Lobby, and onesie brads from Eyelets. So cute!! Enjoy!
