Second Chance Summer!

I cannot believe that it is October and so beautiful today.
I was asked to make a birthday card for a friend at work. So I took inspiration from the beautiful day and used this Sarah Kay stamp to give a feel of summer.

I used my basic grey paper and my promarkers to colour in the image.

Here's to our second chance at Summer!

Love always.

My Brothers 30th Release the Cracken!!

Now I know this may sound weird to you but I love to torture my little brother. I say little, he is 30 now but none of the pleasure I feel from him squealing like a girl for mum has diminished.
My favourite method of torture is to steal his car keys and deposit them at the back of my trousers hanging over the waistband. I then wiggle my bum at him shouting "Release the Cracken".
Now you know the story - there can be only one cake for his Birthday.

I took his keys and sketched them so that I could make an accurate copy of them in sugar.

I do love my brother - even if I do make his life a living hell. But as I keep telling him "it's my job! I am his big sister and that's what sisters do".

Chinese Furniture

I can't believe it was March when I last posted. I am sorry hope these few posts will make it up to you!
My friend at work asked me to make a cake for her husbands birthday. He imports Chinese furniture. I thought that meant chinese style furniture - it doesn't it is just normal furniture from China. Oh well thats my brain for you! lol.

The packing box says Happy Birthday in Chinese.

Foxy Foxy

This is a first birthday cake for a little boy, his mum asked me to make this for him.
The fox is actually his favourite toy - a hand puppet. I was feeling really guilty about borrowing it so i could copy it for the cake.

  And of course everyone loves a balloon!

Baby Shower

Sorry it has been so long posting anything but this year so far has gone crazy. Hope everyone had a good New Year! I haven't managed to do any paper crafting (yet) but have been making some cakes so I hope you like what I have produced.

This is the cake that I made for my friend at work for her baby shower. She wasn't sure what she was having so I decided to make a baby boy and a baby girl from sugar - better safe then sorry!

I really like his dickie bow and the little girl has a little heart on her bottom.
