Graduation Card...

My baby, my third daughter, graduated high school

Friday. I am so proud of her and I can't wait to see what 

The future holds for her. She is so talented and plans to attend

College studying illustration. She is also interested in animation so

We'll have to wait and see where she goes!

My Cake Art Journal...

A couple of months ago I started my cake art journal. I guess it's more

Of a book than a journal since there's not much journaling going on

Inside. I pinned a few cakes on Pinterest and went from there. I watched

A YouTube video on making the stacked cupcakes. I used the snow recipe

I found on Pinterest for the frosting on some of my cakes. I used acrylic paints and

Gelatos, stamps and letters cut from my cricket. I'm listing links below to the 

Frosting and cakes I found. You can also look on my Pinterest board,

Journal~Cake Inspiration, to see some of the pictures I used.

Owl Valentine's Day Box...

My daughter asked me if I would help her daughter decorate her

Valentine box for school. Her school is having a box contest so 

I'll let you know how it turns out. I thought I would go ahead and 

get the box constructed to save time and boredom on her end since

I'll be the one doing all the cutting with the exacto knife and box cutter.

All she will have to do is glue, glue, glue all the hearts on. We're using

upside down hearts as feathers. I also found some giant Google eyes

that will be perfect.

I used a few pictures and tutorials as inspiration. I tweeked them to make 

my own version. 

Here are the links I used:

Okay, so today Brylee and I decorated the box. She glued on tons

of hearts until she got tired. She asked me to do the head, so I did.

I painted it red a few days before she came over so it would be dry.

I also pre-punched the hearts because I knew it was gonna take a 

while to glue them all on and it would save time. 

She's pretty proud of her box and I am too. It turned really cute!

 

 

 

We glittered around the opening with silver glitter to add some

sparkle. We also glittered around the wings.

 

 

We added a large red and pink polka dot ribbon handle for easy carrying.
