One Card Tres Risque!

I just discovered Kenny K didi stamps! OMG! They are awesome. So I used the last of my craft allowance for the month and bought me an image! And this is what I came up with! It goes along with Kenny K's challenge of "Strawberries and Cream". I also used black cardstock for the Creative Card Crew Challenge!

I think I am gonna like this Challenge thing. It really gets me motivated to make stuff!

I really gotta figure out how to take a decent pic. Although they are done with my phone, so I can't complain too much!

Any who! How awesome is that image! Very naughty! On the easel card, it reads "I've got the Strawberries if you can bring the Cream" My husband loved it; my sister thought it was a little much. But, it goes along with the strawberries, right?

I would like to link this card up with the following challenges:

It's been awhile...

Wow! I can't believe how time flies. I've done lots of crafty stuff but haven't taken the time to blog it. I figure I better just do it, so I can get the hang of it. That way it won't take two hours for a post!

So I am now into scrapbooking and card making and everything else paper! I am making a pledge to myself to blog several times a month, preferably twice a week. We shall see!! So the first post back will be some cards!

This one I made for my mother in laws B-day next month. We went to lunch one day at Mimi's and I pocketed some doilies from my soup dish and hers! So, on her card is one of them! That's my circle and my new item. I really like the look of the doily and I have several more where that one came from ;) I added some Wild Orchid Craft flowers and butterflies from a Martha Stewart punch and dotted them with some Liquid Pearls!

I would like to link this card up to the following challenges (if I can figure it out):

Gavin's 3rd Bday

 After a crazy week of hosting Bri's birthday, going to a birthday and hosting Thanksgiving, Gavin's birthday was actually relaxing ...considering. We bought sandwiches at Costco and I had his cake finished the night before except for placing the decorations on it.  It turned out pretty good. He was really happy with it.  



How old are you?



After being Robin for Halloween, I wasn't expecting him to want a Robin cake, but that is what he asked for! So this is what I made him: a chocolate cake with ganache frosting and fondant decorations. Fondant isn't my fave, but it sure makes pretty looking cakes! I should have put him in his Robin costume, that would've been super cute!

  

I have to include pictures of him and his brothers and sister on Halloween because they looked so cute AND I stayed up many a night working on their costumes until 2am!





I also made two cakes for the school's  fall festival cake walk.  I didn't realize signing up for a cake meant two! Luckily we had some boxed cake mix and chocolate frosting! All I did from scratch was the cream cheese frosting.
