Happy Birthday Miss A

Last Tuesday was Miss A's birthday and on Saturday we had a slumber party for her and some friends. I found a cake idea on Pinterest that I wanted to try. It wasn't as successful as I had hoped, but I know why. I need to make my own icing instead of relying on that crap in the can.

I took a 13x9 sheet cake and cut in half to make a double layered cake. After frosting it, I took the number 12, which I cut using the font on "Life's A Party" and put it in place. Then I added a ton of sprinkles.

After I removed the numbers this is what the cake look like. The only think that matters is she loved it. So happy 12th birthday Miss A!!

Stay crafty.

Aaargh!!!

Hi Crafty Friends,

My apologies for being MIA. It's been a crazy few weeks around here. Between taking some time off to vacation down in WV with my family and filling Etsy orders, I didn't even realize that we are halfway through the month of October. 

I just wanted to share a quick photo of the 72 pirate chest invitations I finished up last night. They are on their way to Toronto later today. YAY!!

Football Birthday Banner

I did it. I finally got some crafting done and finished up a project that I've had partly done for like a year. Yes, I know....sad isn't it. I have a set listed on Etsy for a football themed birthday, but have been wanting to add a banner to it. Soooo, here it is:

Oh look, I've painted my living room too. It's just a simple banner, but I think it helps tie in the theme. I haven't been doing many boy themed birthdays, so that's my goal for the month. To make more things for boys, since that what all my friends seem to be having lately.

Spring is in the air

Hello everyone,

Now that I have gotten those wedding invitations out of the way, I can really get back to focusing on some other crafts. I added a new taste of spring to my Etsy shop, take a look...

The basketball invitations have been a huge hit in my shop, so I thought I'd try some baseball invites too. I cut these from "Life's A Party" at 4 inches. This card is a bit different as the bottom layer needs to be red and the top layer is in 3 parts. When I get a moment, I'm going to add the cupcake toppers and wrappers to the shop too.

I'll be back with some scrapbooking layouts soon. I PROMISE!!

Stay Crafty
