One Scrap at a Time

I cut the flower out of Paisley (page 41) at 3.5" three times. I used a tooth pick to score the petals. The center of the flower was cut at 1.5, 1.25 and 1" and curled with a tooth pick. I love how this turned out.

I am teaching a class on Aug 11th at 6pm in Covina California -there are a few spots left if anyone is interested in coming. It is 4 cards and two purse gift card holder for $18.00 - Kits are also available and we do ship. :)

My niece Samara asked if I could make a Pirate cake for my great nephew, Jayden, who is turning three today. The cake is coconut with fresh pineapple filing. I cut the Pirate using my Cricut Cake and Indie Art. The boat was cut by hand. This was my first time using Duff fondant. The red and black were very nice to work with but the white was almost translucent. I added brilliant white gel color get the white you see here. I love how it turned out and so did the birthday boy. At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Ok - I promised to post a picture of the Hello Kitty Cards. Everything is cut out using the Hello Kitty Cricut Cart and Doodlebug papers

This past weekend was my nephew's 8th birthday and I had the pleasure of making his cake. Wilton had just come out with a new product called Sugar Sheets and I couldn't wait to try them with my Cricut. The blue is marshmallow fondant as are the stars. Everything else was cut using Wilton's Sugar Sheets.

Have you seen “My Time Made Easy” templates? I stumbled upon this cute Trendy Tool Tote last week and couldn’t wait for an excuse to make something out of it. Thankfully, I didn’t need to wait long because tomorrow is my friend Heather’s birthday. Nestled inside are 7 little caffeinated shots I found at the local liquor store in hopes she can have a few and relax on her trip to the river in July. I made this at my sample to see how to put it together, however, I feel so in love with it that I ended up giving it to her instead of making another. Next time, I plan to use a much thicker cardstock. Happy Birthday Heather – just don’t enjoy the shots too much without me.

Don’t you just love Bridal Parties? My cousin is getting married and asked if I could make the party favors for her Big Hat Bridal Brunch in hot pink and black. I couldn’t resist doing these cute little purses from the Cricut TBBM.. Also, here is the card I made for the soon to be bride’s gift. Made with Cricut Wild Card - Inside of the card says "Coupon" Redeem for a Bridal Scrapbook. Now, to get pictures of the brunch and turn it into a 6x6 mini album. Oh I can’t wait!
