Banners EVERYWHERE

I had so much fun on Saturday putzin' around the CK Scrapbooking Convention in Bellevue. It was great to see all my scrappin' buddies, too:) I love just looking at all the new ideas and trends. There were banners everywhere this year. Pretty fun. I invested in a few stamp sets to help me with this trend. I plan on using my Cricut, too. There are a few cartridges that have banner pieces. Here's my first piece that I made with my spoils.

I'm off to use my new kite set now:)

Woah, that's pink!

So, maybe I am just used to making boy cakes....blue blue green blue blue. However, this pink was just too much for me to handle. I went into panic mode for a few minutes. Then, I decided to add a calmer color...pale yellow. Aaaah, much better. I love making these gum paste flowers. The gum paste is kind of a pain to make, but it is so worth it:) I made extras to have in stock. It is really nice to have granite countertops to work the gum paste on, too. Whew. I have to say, the filling is a new fav spin on my old fav. I added marionberry to my white choc, cream cheese, mousse. YUMMYOYUMMY.

Let's Hear it for the BOYS

Although, I would love to be making some cherry pages or girly froofy pages...I am stuck with all boy pictures. Funny thing is that I am finding myself pairing blue and orange together A LOT. It just works. My brother, Tom, gave me the idea that orange is okay. :) This is what I was playing with today.
