Diaper Cake Boy Version

Here are a couple of pictures of the Baby Boy cake I did for my friend Michelle's shower. This was my first cake. I stole these pictures from Susan's facebook page! Thanks Susan!

Diaper Cakes

I have found a new giftable craft that I just love and is so much fun to make for a mom-to-be! I've seen diaper cakes on the internet for a while, but I wanted to try my hand at one and I love how it turned out. I'm also branching out and making these for purchase. They're completely customizable with a theme or can be plain - blue or pink, as well as yellow, green or neutral (cream and brown) for those moms who are waiting to hear "it's a boy/girl" in the delivery room. I have to track down the pictures from the baby boy version I did back in June, but for now I'll leave you with the pictures of the baby girl version I did for my dear friend Deana's baby girl.

She's got a new attitude!

As of August 1st, I'm officially not with Stampin' Up! any longer. It was tough decision, but I decided is was best for me at this time to drop my demonstratorship. I'm not going to stop showing projects that I'm working on, or doing video tutorials (which I've really slacked on), rather I'm going to start showing all of my projects, whether they're papercrafting or sewing, whatever I'm working on, I'm going to share it here. I love what Stampin' Up! has to offer as far as products and quality, and if you're still interested in purchasing products from Stampin' Up! you can visit their website and search under find a demonstrator and they'll give you the names of demonstrators in your area. I am starting on a new business venture, but I'll go into more detail on that when it's official.

Brickyard Craft and Vendor Fair

I'm going to have a table at the Brickyard Plantation Craft and Vendor Fair in Mt. Pleasant this Saturday, July 18 from 10 - 3. I have cards, bookmarks, boxes, card sets, notepads, and more for sale. I'll also be debuting my diaper cakes. I made one for a baby shower and it go rave reviews, so I thought that I would put them out there for preorder. I just got a new computer and I can't figure out how to copy pictures, but as soon as I do, I'll post a picture of the cake. If you're interested, let me know. If you have any questions about the event please let me know. Hope to see you there.
