Card making - Welcome to the neighbourhood

Robyn, Nonny and Matthew recently moved into our neighbourhood. They had a fantastic house warming yesterday - they are fabulous cooks, so the eats were scrummy!  It was also so good to catch up with some friends we had not seen in a while.

I made them this simple and quick house warming card using scrap book paper, ribbon, brad and images from Stampin Up.

I dusted off my twinkling H2O's and did some painting. The window's were finished off with some 3d glaze!

Take care all and have a great week!

Cake decorating - Snake cupcakes

I really don't know where the time has gone. Busy, busy, busy.  It was my Godson's first birthday party on Sat. I had promised to make something. I hoped to find some fun things overseas, but alas, shopping was for clothes only!  Landed on Friday and had to spend some time with my O so only started making the snakes at 8pm. There is a lovely website www.cherryontop.co.za and Theresa does the most stunning cakes. She had done some snakes, so I used hers as inspiration....If you want to see some really fabulous cakes then pls take a look at her website!

I made 20 and did the patterns with Royal icing.....hope you like them!




















Two that got away.....



Promise the next post will have some cards!!  Take care all

Cake decorating - Flood iced Giraffe

Okay - so I decided to play around with my blog yesterday and somehow the background fairy logo is now stuck over my image. I am not very computer literate, so it will have to stay that way till I have time to play some more!!

A good friend and I were pregnant together. We are also God mother's to each other's little boys. I made Robyn this cake for her baby shower.  It was vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream and caramel piped edges.


I got the artwork from a supplier of mine and I knew that Robyn had loved the clothes this image was on! I was short on time, so I did the image onto wax paper first. Once dried and cake was made and iced, I transfered it and then added some stars to finish it off.
