Lego Cake

Another Year...Another Lego Birthday! Of course Bradley wanted another Lego birthday cake and this is what I came up with this year. Yes there is a lot of frosting...I am a frosting freak. I would rather have frosting shots than the cake :)

I used 2 9x13 cakes. I cut the bottom one in half and the top one in thirds. For the posts I used a mini muffin tin. I was going to use a third box of cake, but I thought that would be too much leftover cake. I only filled up 6 cups from the second batch of cake mix. He turned 6, thus the 6 posts.

Anywho, he loved the cake and and we all had fun seeing what color our tongues were in the end!

Christmas Thank You Cards

I made a pack of three of these cards for a door prize for my MOPS group and I made another 3 pack for myself because I love the way they turned out. So did the boys so we ended up giving the cards to the boys teachers with their holiday gifts. They loved them.

I was inspired for this card from Gigi. I thought this was the cutest thing ever. I made the cookie sheet on the DS using George, the gingerbread were made from Paper Doll Dress Up and the spatula was from Everyday Paper Dolls. Of course the faces are Peachy Keen stamps. The hearts, I used Glossy Accents. The sentiment is computer generated. When you cut the gingerbread people it will cut the mouth, eyes and lines. I just flipped the gingerbread over and stamped my PKS image.

Coaches Thank You Cards

Football season is over...woohoo! We wanted to make thank you cards for our football coaches and Riley designed these. How cute is this...40 year old guys looking like 10. Our coaches all wore the same shirts, but their hats were different. They all wore Longhorns lanyards and that was my favorite part to make. I could not figure out how to weld the football on the DS and get it lined up perfectly, so we just had it that you flip over the card and Riley wrote on the back. The coaches loved these.

I am glad Riley has taking a liking to my obsession :)

The dolls are EDPD, the football card is Sports Mania and the lettering is Plantin Schoolbook that I welded on the DS.

Cupcake Birthday Card

My husband calls me from work one morning and tells me it is his Administrative Assistants birthday. He asks if I can make her a card that we can put a gift card in and he needs it in two hours. I am so not good with pressure. I came up with this. The cupcake is cut from Doodlecharms and this is my first attempt with stickles...love them.

As always, peachy keen face!

Packers Birthday Card

A good friend of Riley's plays for the Packers. Riley loved the Longhorns card that I made for him for his birthday and asked if we could make one for his friend. Because the 10 card was on my DS, this was so easy. Riley did such a great job on this. The only thing I did was the detail on the pants and helmet, Riley did everything else. He has watched me use my Peachy Keen stamps so many times that he knew exactly what to do. I did not take a picture of it, but we made a pocket on the inside for a gift card. The doll and accessories were cut from EDPD at 4", the helmet is cut from Sports Mania at 1 1/2" and the 33 is cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1/2". We used the xyron the make everything stick.

Fall Wreath

I know that I am going back a few weeks, but I have been so busy with the holidays that this is the first I get to post. I do not have a wreath for my front door and I went shopping at all the craft stores and just could not spend $50 on a wreath. I hit Hobby Lobby when they had all their fall stuff for 50% off and I made this wreath...with a little help of a glue gun, for $12. I love the little scarecrow. When I took it down to put up a Christmas wreath...all the berries were gone...birds!!!!

Super Hero Gift Bag

Bradley had another birthday party and I was getting tired of spending so much money on the bags. I bought this at Hobby Lobby and went to town. The little boy was having a Batman party. Now, I know there is a Batman Cart, but I was not going to buy it for one bag. So, we looked up the colors online and had fun with it. I used PDDU for the boy and outfit. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the balloons and the font is cut using the DS and Printing 101. Instead of spending money on a card, Bradley signed the back of the bag.

Christmas Tags

I wanted to post a few Christmas tags that I had made last year. I got the idea from Christmas with the Cricut, now Everyday Cricut. I love the shape of the tags. They are from Mickey and Friends. Sorry they are not the best pictures, I was having issues with my camera. Anyhoo, the candy cane and lollipop is also from Mickey and Friends. On the lollipop and candy cane I used some glitter glue to make them shine. The Christmas lights and holly came from the Christmas Cheer cart. The Santa tag was free hand. They were fun to make and I need to get on them again this year. My mom is my biggest fan and I think I gave her one of each of these tags. I think she still has them :)

Longhorns Football Birthday Card

My baby boy is turning 10 this weekend...I can't believe it.

This card was made with my DS and welded the 10 with Mickey Font. The boy, football jersey, footballs and goal post were cut from Everyday Paper Dolls and the helmet with cut from Sports Mania. The longhorn symbol on the helmet and shoulder pads was free hand...had to cut that one too many times :) I did 10 footballs, because he is 10 :) As always I used Peachy Keen Stamp.

What do you think...looks just like him?

Birthday Trreat Topper

I made these Birthday treats for Riley's class today. I searched the net for ideas for treat bag toppers and I found so many great ones. I decided to do super simple because they are a bunch of 10 year olds. I used cardstock and the sentiment is done on my computer and cut out. I made 20 of them. I surprised Riley with these. He saw them before they were assembled. Riley helped me put the bags together...he never likes to help with my crafts. He said to me, "Mom, these are really cute!" I love that boy.
