I painted a frame and completed it with with a pic of the two of us take at my wedding last year. I love my mommy!! Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day Cards for 2010

My sister and I started this last year with doing home made cards because of all of the mother's in life that it seemed more sentimental to make our own cards (not to mention easier on the wallet!) Here is this year's products for my family and close friends:

Happy Halloween

I had a little house party this year for Halloween and wanted to make a themed cake...unfortunately I got behind on the cleaning and errands that I didn't get the chance to spend as much time or care as I wanted to with the cake so the "pumkin" cake I had in mind wasn't as "pumkin-y" as I wanted but, noone really cared. lol Maybe next year, huh?

Halloween vest

My Nana had purchased this "pattern cloth" a while back from a craft store. She asked me to put it together for her because somehow how she got the idea that enjoy sewing and stuff (wink wink) and with delight, I accepted. I've never seen a pattern like this before where it's already on the material. Cool, huh:

After all of the cutting and pinning and stitching...

The vest finally came together in all its glory with plenty of time before the holiday...

Nana enjoyed it. Isn't she so cute?

More Mother's Day cupcakes

Cupcakes are becoming very popular for special occasions because they can be personalized individually, provide perfect serving portions, and just are so darn cute! About a week ago, I posted that I was practicing designing cupcakes for Mother's Day. I wanted to share with you all what I wound up doing in the end.

Mother's Day cupcakes

I've decided to make cupcakes to give to my sister, mother, and grandmother when we all get together to visit on Mother's Day. But I wanted to practice decorating cupcakes first as I have never done them before. I whipped these strawberry cupcakes up to practice and brought them into work the next day for my team members to enjoy. The cupcakes were mostly designed in assorted flower techniques. I can't wait to start on the cupcakes for my family!

Homemade Mother's Day cards

Remember the days when you used to make a card for your mom and she would hang it on the refrigerator proudly? This year,,my sister and I made my our own cards for my mother and grandmothers...with so many of them, it was worth it. Plus we figured it would be a cute way to remind them of when we were younger. Just use your scrapbooking skills to create your own cute cards for special occasions.
