One can never have enough cake!

I recently hosted a StampinUp party.  Has anyone else hosted these parties? They are very fun and you can get some great products. I wanted to design a very simple one layer invitation that I can pop in the mail. Time to pull out those StampinUp ink pads and go to town.



I also created these fun Thank You gifts for my friends. It is a Paper Cake and it was so fun to make. I put yummy peanut butter M&Ms inside the cake. Anyone want a slice???




Have a great day,
Mimi

New Year's Resolution

WOW, the time has flown and I haven't been writing or posting anything to this blog. Bad me... Ok, so I will try to post and write more often. First off for the new year....a graduation card! Hope you like it. I threw everything into this card: watercolor background, die cut word, shaker card appeal. LOL!
