Washer Pendant and Earings

The necklace and earings are made out of washers from the hardware store. I followed Haley Dryer's tutorial (CTMH consulant) for the necklace and than made some earings to match. I used Silhoutte paper pack from CTMH, liquid glass, bitty sparkles, and glitz. All CTMH products except for the washers.



This is using Let's get together paper pack, liquid glass, bitty sparkles, and little flowers.

Mom's Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom! Okay its not until Saturday but she will be camping this weekend. I decided to get this brilliant idea (after watching cake boss) to make mom a cake decorated in Fondant. And I have never made fondant before or decorated a cake with piping before. I called my friend Kayla (she loves to bake) thinking for sure she would have made one before. Nope she didn't but we had a blast working on this cake for 1 1/2 days!! Talk about inexperienced. It was originally suppose to be 4 tiers. LOL. We made all the petal leaves individual and attempted to make daisy's. We also cut out a moose but decided it didn't fit. It was to large for the now only 2 tiered cake. It may not be the pretties cake but we had a lot of fun making it and for the first cake we have ever done I think it turned out pretty good. Can't wait to surprise mom with it at work today. Pictures are at the bottom of the post.

For her birthday this year she has been asking me to make her a bunch of Thank you and Blank cards so here are 3 that I made her.

This first card is made with the CTMH stamp set Forever and Boom Di Ada papers.



These lasttwo are out of Scenic Route paper, using CTMH stamp Set Piece of Cake, and Nestabilities Deckled Rectangles.

Ribbon card made out of copy paper

I made these cards after watching Tresa Blacks upstream video last night. I made it with watermelon cardstock from CTMH and Spot on Backgrounds stamp set, Goodness of life stamps, Thank you stamps from CTMH. Tresa's blog is www.fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com.

Card Purse

For my husbands family reunion we were suppose to make a handmade item for the auction which raises money for Grandma Merritt to make quilts. I attempted to make a card purse for the 1st time. I purchased the template from a SU rep and I can't find her blog again to show where I got it. I know here name is Becky Roberts.
