Life's a Beach

Isn't she the cutest! I just love my Cheeky Beach from The Greeting Farm. I had tons of fun coloring her. This card is being sent to a friend of mine. The inside greeting says, "...especially when you're SICK!" LOL. My version of a "get well" card. I added some glitter to her shoes, swim suit and the flower in her hair.
The "Life's a BEACH" sentiment was stamped with individual alpha letters that I had purchased at Michael's in their dollar bins a while back.

Here are the Copic Marker colors that I used.

Friends

I made this card to accompany a wall hanging gift, that can be seen here. I used the brand new Tim Holtz Book Cover Stamps.The base of the card is covered with paper from the Basic Grey Curio paper pad. The stamped image was embossed with black embossing powder. The lollipop flower was sent to me in a RAK gift from a dear friend. I added some black crystal flourishes from Want2scrap.com. The sentiment "friends" came from a Hero Arts stamp set called "Thank you for being my friend".
Lastly the tag was cut from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Tags.Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend everyone!

Owl Cake Pops

This is my first attempt at making these owl cake pops. I was inspired by Bakerella. She has the cutest ideas and the best tutorials. I am no baker but these turned out pretty cute =) They were yummy too, especially for those with a sweet tooth. The inside is composed of strawberry cake mix and cream cheese frosting. The outside of the owl is coated with white chocolate. I did not make the flowers, the eyes or the feet. They were premade embellishments and sprinkles that can be bought at your local baking supply store.
I made these cute critters for a scrapbook crop at my LSS (Scrapbook Land). The girls enjoyed it, some even ate 4 LOL. You guys should give these a try, just be prepared for a long day (it felt like it for me) of baking and assembling =) Thanks for stopping by!
