Ian's and Emma's birthday cakes

Here is Ian's birthday cupcakes. He wanted a Spiderman party and even though it was at McDonald's, I went searching how to make the spider cupcakes. I think they turned out quite cute. Everyone liked them. Especially Ian and he was the only one that mattered!

Here is Emma's birthday cake. She wanted a butterfly party and I searched online how to make a butterfly cake. It was pretty easy since the butterfly only took one round cake. The cupcakes are leftovers from Ian's, so they went to good use. The smaller butterfly was a cut out stacked one on top of the other. That one was for Emma only. She liked the cake too.

I am not a cake decorator by any means, but these were fun to put together and one day, I hope the kids look back at the pictures and know that mom put her love into them even if they aren't store bought or perfect. I love my kiddos!!!!! They are my world and I would do anything for them!!!!

I need help!

I know I want to blog and get my creative creations on here, but sometimes it is just overwhelming, this whole blog world! I have the basics down but where do I go to have my blog look like others, all nice and cute with all the links and side by side pictures and videos?? I guess I will have to view my new favorite site, You Tube and check out to see if I can get some guidance. I made my very first video on You Tube and I want all of you to see it. Check back later to see if I can get it posted! LOL :)

Yikes, where have I been??

Yeah, I have been MIL lately. I hope to post some things soon. I am working on  birthday party things for Emma (will be 8) and Ian (will be 5). Their birthdays are next week and their parties are on the 5th so lots of creating going on here. Just finished up their invites last night. Got up this morning and Emma wanted to invite 4 more little girls for a grand total of 10. Ian is inviting his whole preschool class, 16 but we will not be having it at home, McDonalds. Emma's will be at home. I was okay with 6 being here but with 4 more invited, I may loose my mind! :-o More later...

Christmas cards

Love to make things with my punches. See the angels?? Yep, punches! I am trying to use up some older paper that is retired and this is what I came up with. Not to happy with the card on the left but the one on the right, I went with it! I made many a card with it. Only thing I didn't do with the assembly line is put the halos on their heads. Not sure if I like them or not. So...just imagine...the remaining cards without halos. I really liked how they looked with out them. Yep, will use them for my Christmas cards this year.

Winter cards

Remember the stamp set from yesterday, Season of Friendship, that I used for the fall cards? Well here is one for winter. See that cute bird?? So adorable! I love this set because it is so versatile! Have a great day!

Fall cards

Here are a few fall cards I made. The designer paper is retired but I still have a few pieces left. The ribbon is retired as well but I love the chocolate brown. I LOVE this stamp set because it can be used for spring, fall, winter, and has this really cute bird! Love birds!

Priceless moments

Here is a scrapbook page that I did that incorporates this adorable lion. Isn't he cute?? I made him from punches. I used circle punches, scallop circle for his main punched twice, oval for his tail and legs, and then just used a pen for his mouth. Love him!!!
