"BABY" Girl Scrapbook

This is a scrapbook that I made for my friend Karin's baby girl due at the end of this month. It is her fourth baby and the first girl for her! For some reason the pictures posted in reverse order. The solid rectangles (photo mats) that you see on each page are for pictures of the baby. The one on the back of the "B" is too small for a picture but would be a great place for journaling. The album is from Bo Bunny and the papers and stickers are Basic Grey. The album is plain chipboard and is ready to be altered. Any stickers that you see overlapping onto the photo mats are raised so that pictures can be slid underneath and to also create depth on the page.

I did not want to do a major scrapbook because Karin is a scrapbooker herself and I know she is super excited about getting to create girly pages! If you have any questions about this album, how to alter chipboard, etc..., please feel free to ask me!

Gotta Get Finished With Garage Sale Weekend...

and then I will be back to post some things I have recently finished. The lineup will include a star-shaped baby blanket, a baby scrapbook album, a message board, a 3D house cake to coordinate with an "Up"-themed birthday party, and hopefully a couple of other items! So, be sure and check back the beginning of next week. Thanks for being patient with me!

Clone Trooper Helmet Cake

While I did not make this cake today, I wanted to get a post up with something I have recently created. I made this cake for Aidan's 7th birthday party back in January. He had a Star Wars Clone Wars theme. I saw some photos online that used fondant and were actual storm trooper helmets (Star Wars fans you will understand and appreciate the difference!). I have yet to venture into the fondant world so I piped buttercream icing in tiny little stars to cover the cake (Wow! That took a long time!). I used 6 eight inch round cakes to piece and sculpt together the helmet. I was pleased with how it turned out, and I think it was a pretty good effort for my first 3D cake sculpting experience. More importantly, Aidan loved it and that's what really mattered!
