Dotee Dolls

Wrapping up my last doll, a Fairy dotee spot I am angeling for our swap. I finished all the lil details and thought I'd post some pictures before I mail them on in a few days!

Non-Stop

That is how I'd describe our summer thus far. Seems there is never a dull moment and I have been a bad blogger.

I recently finished my pages for the cupcake 6x6 layout swap group. I made a new type cupcake embellishment for them using polymer clay. They turned out good and were pretty easy to make.

Cupcake LUV

I'm hosting a swap on two peas and trying to get all my items completed early. These are twinchies for the "anything goes" category. They were made using Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday line. I never get tired of glitter, so of course I added some on the cherry! I may go back and add a bow or something to the middle one...I just haven't decided what yet!

Can't get enought!

I was recently approached about making a custom order of my cupcake charms. The gal is hosting a party and wanted to use them are wine glass charms. She picked her colors, and I like the combinations.

Since I was already making them, I made 2 extra sets, and I'm gonna throw them up on My Etsy. I thought it was a great idea for the lil cupcakey goodness!

National Scrapbook Day

Wow! What a whirlwind weekend! I baked like wild woman from Wednesday to Friday in preparation for our NSD crop. 6 dozen cupcakes (Banana Split flavored, Pink Lemonade flavored, white) 3 dozen cupcake pops...and not ONE single picture! I''m sure someone else at the crop took pictures of the table, but I woke Friday morning with an awful headache and just wasn't on my "A" game with some other family distractions also.

I cropped Friday from 12 to 6pm, came home for a bit to nap and get rid of my headache then returned to crop from 9 till 4am. I returned again Saturday morning at 10 and stayed another 6hours. It was a really productive weekend, and I got to visit with friends and make a few new ones also!

I'll leave ya with a picture of my scrappin pal Vicki. She only got to come scrap Friday night. The poor thing was scheduled to leave for vacation Sunday morning to Disney. I'm sure she was very sad to leave {snort}! At least she will return with even more photos for memory making in scrapbooks!

Cupcake goodness

I've been playing around with some felt ideas for an upcoming "cupcake themed crop" for National Scrapbook Day. So far these are my 2 prototypes..lol Not sure if I will use them as pin cushions or a little wall hanging decoration.

Too much fun

Today is going to be a FUN filled day! Our scrapbooking group is having an all day crop in celebration for Katy's birthday!! I made a fun cake last night for her
...the theme for the crop is "Party like a rock star", so naturally the cake needed to match.

Katy is an awesome gal! She is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan. So, it is only fitting we celebrate her day in style. She is heading out soon actually to see her beloved BJ in Vega (lucky girl)!

never enough

Last night I gave my new GIANT cupcake cake-pan a test run!

We will be eating this one with family for Easter desert today. It was so fun to make. I made homemade butter cream icing too and tinted it slightly yellow(my favorite color of course)!

They even make giant sprinkles for these cakes...but I haven't picked any up yet.

Only 2 more days...

I can't believe it's already Valentines! Where has the time gone?

This week I'm wrapping up some swaps (again). This one is a cupcake swap.

I signed up for 3 spots...

1. Anything but a card - I did a felt cupcake

2. ATC card:

3. A tag:

My Funny Valentine...

Finally...I can posts these lil cards and treats! I've been holding off for about a week now. Today is my local scrapping groups Valentine Party and I will be giving them away to my friends...So I can finally show them off (haha)

The first one is a treat box using card stock, ribbon and acetate(a transparency). I got the pattern and directions from Splitcoaststampers and just put a bit of my own spin on it.

The second is the Valentine I made for my friends. I am a HUGE cupcake lover...so I had to go with something that I both love and am known for!

yummy lil cakes!

Today I made a fun batch of cupcakes in Tinkerbell papers. Not super exciting stuff - but they sure tasted great! We went over to some friends and had a great afternoon. Grilled steaks and ate cupcakes...lol! Now...off to sleep and prepare for another week of early mornings - Katie's got Band Camp!

Celebrate with Cupcakes

A few days ago an email arrived in my box from Joann's with a cute idea for firecracker cupcakes. Well, all those who know me, I am a sucker for cooking projects, the more labor intense the better - LOL! Here is the picture from the Wilton Idea Center

Mine didn't turn out exactly the same...of course my family says they are better -lol! I think they are cute enough to take to the annual 4th of July party...our host of 10years has young children still - so I thought they would really enjoy theses! Can't wait to see them covered in frosting (haha!) So here are my version...

I also bought an awesome new cupcake/cake holder by Wilton while shopping for my cupcake supplies! I LOVE Tupperware, but this thing is MUCH better than any of my Tupperware cake takers! IT hold each cupcake in it's spot - it works for mini cupcake if you flip the base over and you can completely remove the base to use it for an entire sheet cake! LOVE IT!

Almost 10!

My youngest daughter will be 10 tomorrow - where on earth did the years go? She asked me to make her some type goodie to take to school and share with her class. Today, thanks to a wonderful fellow Pea, who happened to post a link to this blog, I was struck with great inspiration!

Three hours later and some WAY TIRED feet from standing on the ceramic tile so long
....wah-lah!...they are done!!! Ivy is so proud to take them and all i have left is to wrap them and tie ribbon!

I can't wait to make Cupcake Pop's again!
