• Sesame Street Friends Cricut cartridge - cookies
• Recollections RSVP Clear Stamps Set - "you're invited!" and event information on the inside

Send in the Clowns...Happy 1st Birthday Matthew!

Today I am sharing with you a little shape card, cupcakes and smash cake I made for a very special little boy who just turned 1. Matthew turned 1 over the weekend and his mom is a former co-worker of my mom's and is now a good friend of mine. She had asked me to make cupcakes for her son's 1st birthday and I was a little unsure at first but decided it would be fun and took on the challenge. I searched pinterest for ideas and came across these adorable cupcakes decorated like clowns with a pointy hat and some others that had cotton candy for hair. I decided I would combine the two, unfortunately I did not expect to have the issues that came up and I ran out of time, so the cotton candy hair did not happen. This is how they turned out though:

This is the smash cake I made for Matthew.

Here is another look at the card I made too:

I used these items to create my card (all of which were apart of my stash, nothing new):

• Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge - the shape card
• red, blue, white cardstock
• red sparkle rick rack - edge of hat
• White glitter pom - top of hat
• blue glitter flock - hair
• Stickles - eyes
• Glossy Accents - nose and mouth

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

• DL ART - Thankful Thursday - September Linky
• SOS - 120 Kids - make a kid-themed card
• Use it Tuesday - Challenge 64 - Use 2 Hoarded Items

So that is it for now I hope you liked my little card and baked goods, I enjoyed making them.

Camouflage Onesie Shape card

Last month one of my nieces had an emergency C-section and gave birth to a baby boy 11 weeks early. Baby is currantly still in the NICU but progressing very well and Mom is recovering very well also.  I knew about 2 months ago or so that the baby's bedding was going to be camouflage so I knew that when the time came I was going to use that for whatever creation I was going to make. Since the baby came early I have only been able to make a card and this is it. I totally love the way it turned out and can't wait to get involved in more baby projects using the camouflage. This is only the beginning.

Here you can see where I welded the onesie together in the Design Studio:

Here is just a close up of the inside where I did some faux stitching and stamped my sentiment:

I used these items to create my Camouflage Onesie Shape card:

• Design Studio - to weld the onesie together
• New Arrival Cricut cartridge - onesie
• Pooh Font Cricut cartridge - "100 % Boy"
• buttons
• My Craft Spot Clear Stamps - In and Out - Set #2 - the inside sentiment
• Baby wooden stamp - on the inside
• green gel pen - faux stitching - on the inside

I am entering this shape card in the following challenges and linky party:

This was such a fun and easy card to make. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my Camouflauge Onesie Shape card.

Mother's Day Heart Shape card

It took some searching but I think I found the perfect heart to create my Mom's Mother's Day shape card.  I found this heart on Wall Decor and More Cricut cartridge.  I used my Design Studio to first hid the contours of one of the hearts and welded it to the other heart, all cut from the pink cardstock.  I then cut the top (purple) heart and adheared it to the top. I applied some glitter glue to the flourishes.  I then used my Cuttlebug to cut 8 flowers, attached them together with a brad and began to shape the flower.  I added the purple ball to the center of the flower and applied some glitter glue to the edges of the flower.  Then I adheared the flower to the heart.

The inside I kept very simple and just used some stamps from My Craft Spot - Inside & Out 2 stamp set.

Just in case if you can't read it, it says, "Mom Thinking of you is one of my favorite things to do.

One the back I wrote the saying, "A mother holds her children's hands for a while...their hearts forever."
