Sweet Saturday

Another quick Sweet Saturday post to show you some yummy cupcakes that I made for a wedding shower.

French Vanilla cupcakes with my special frosting colored a light purple and has silver glass glitter (edible of course) on top.  I don't always get a chance to get a photo of their display so you get to see the boxed version.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Yes, I DID!

Fussy Cut, that is...
I loved this layout by Karen and I wanted to give it a try with the FLOATING RE-INKERS Technique.  This was my first color combo: Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.  I wasn't terribly fond of the center of the flower so I stamped a second flower center and colored it with Stampin' Write Marker in Daffodil Delight, fussy cut it out, and popped it up with a Dimensional.

 My second color combo is Wisteria Wonder with Elegant Eggplant.  The flowers center was REALLY dark so this time I stamped and embossed two more flower centers and fussy cut them out and popped each layer up with a Stampin' Dimensional.

The flower stamp is from the very popular stamp set called Blended Bloom, and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Photopolymer stamp set called ENDLESS BIRTHDAY WISHES.  This is such a great set, so great that Stampin' Up! ran out of them very quickly.  We are told that they will get more in stock but are waiting on their distributors.  I will give you a heads up when the stamp set is available to purchase again because this set, of course, is great for your card making but it is also fabulous for your scrapbooking.

Sentimental Sunday

Gracie is our little Ballerina and a few weeks back she had her dance recital at the end of this years classes.  Next year she should be in the next level up as a 9 year old.  Wow, did I really say that?  Let's just let her be 8 years old for these last few months - why rush it.
Here she is getting all her stage make-up on - (she hates it), but she is smiling!

Gracie did a fabulous job and we are so proud of her.
Gracie is front and center in this video.  I think it taped it in fast motion (hahaha)

Receiving her award and her photos

 Mommy gave roses!  Gramma and Grampa gave a single carnation, but she sure did feel special that they were REAL flowers

 I love this picture of Gracie and me - I even set it as the wallpaper on my iphone

 A special picture with Mommy

 Even Tyler asked to have his picture taken.  After Gracie danced I could see the look in his eyes that he was so proud of his little sister

This is the card that I made for Gracie inspired by Fran Sabad
