jiggly jiggly

Scott's little 7-year-old buddy found out that he had a brain tumor last week. They were able to successfully remove it, but he's home for a while to recover. We get to take them dessert today. I have been dying to get baking in my new kitchen. It was the perfect excuse to use my new tip...

I have always stayed away from cupcakes because they have no filling. This lil doodad lets me sneak in some lemon filling, mousse, custard, anything!!! Nummy-ola!

The jello jigglers were a last minute idea:) It has been FOREVER since I made them. I used my mini cookie cutters from Pampered Chef. Fun fun. Tom and his logger buddy were my taste testers. We passed:)

Michael's card...and COPICS

So, I have begun my journey into the Copic world. I was not gunna do it! I was NOT even going to venture into that place, but...my CTMH marker had a crack and dried out. PLUS, when I color with reg markers, I can always see the brush strokes. SO, I stayed away from any stamp that had to be colored in. NOPE. Not gunna do it. THEN, Miss Katie Lou let me peek into Copic land. Ummmm...they're really nice...really really nice. They are alcohol ink and blend PERFECTLY. Oooh, and you can refill them and replace the lil' nibs without buying new markers...and you can even AIRBRUSH with them. Okay, so...here I am now. Budgeting to buy 6 a month.:) What's next? (By the way, I don't want an answer to that question! My craft room is gettin' kinda full)

Sharon's Celebration

My sweet mother-in-law turned 70 last month!! What a blessing she is in my life! She has a lil' weakness for chocolate, so I made this card set with a lil' to keep her stock up:) I loved this template. It is, of course, a Papertrey inc template. The stamps and paper are also Papertrey.
