Lollipop & Feather Clips and More!

It is time for my once in a blue moon post! I have made several paper crafts over the last few months and just recently started to make these fun Lollipop flowers. I have wanted to make these for some time. I happened upon a fabric store that was selling satin fabric for $1.50/yard, and feathers for $1.95 plus 30% off, you can't beat that! I purchased about 6 colors and love making these. All the ones I have made so far have been for gifts but I plan to buy a cheap t-shirt and use these flowers to embellish it.  I haven't yet motivated myself to start the actual sewing process however I just cut out a pattern and have gotten out the fabric to make something for Abigail. It won't be long before I actually sit down and sew. Sewing is usually like that for me, a process of preparations. Well here are a few of the things I have made, and I am seriously liking the lollipop flowers.

My Son's 2nd Birthday Cake...

We had a trained themed birthday party for my sons 2nd birthday. I wanted to make a train cake and set out to find a cake that I would be able to make. Looked on line, gather a bunch of ideas and here is the finished product. I even used my Cricut Expression and the Everyday Paperdolls cart to make all the paper details. I have to share the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting that I have made for two parties already and will continue to make. It is so delicious!! I found it on the Annie's Eats Blog, simply the best buttercream! Overall I am very pleased with how the cake turned out and I think Mason really liked it too!

Little Girls Birthday Card!!

There is a certain someone who will know exactly who this card is for and I hope you like it!

This card was made using my Cricut Expression and Cuttlebug. I embossed the pink paper with the Cuttlebug using the swiss dot embossing folder and the white paper was embossed using the d'vine swirl embossing folder. The little dancer was made with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge (hair from EDPD). I used glitter paper for the outfit and the number 2 (cut using Storybook Cartridge).

I added a flower with a brad and added Stickles to both. I also added the plastic rhinestones for a little extra bling. I hand drew the face and used chalk to blush the cheeks. I just ordered a set of stamps from Peachy Keen, so my faces are going to start looking much better. Overall I am pleased with the way this card turned out and the best part was I finished it in 10 minutes!!

Can't wait for the party on Saturday!
