Good Morning friends!! It's a beautiful Southern California morning and I am up way earlier than normal. It's a cake makin day but a crafter's night tonight! I want to have all the little goodies ready for my youngest son for Valentine's Day. Too earlier? No way. I've barely been able to get those suckers out the door morning of in the past. So, this year, I'm on it! My older two can decide anymore whether they want to participate or not. We'll see. It's alway last minute. :-)
Also, if you're local to Riverside or San Bernardino and were trying to decide what to do Saturday, March 28th come on out to....
I'm a Cupcake Competitor! I participated last year and we all had so much fun! So many goodies with your ticket purchase. Best of which is a 12 count cupcake container! What's this mean for you? Stroll around the event and snatch up any 12 cupcakes from any booth to fill your container! It's fabulous! Cupcakes galore last year! Correction: fill up with cupcakes, cookies and cake pops! This will be the first year to have cakes as a category, which I chose not to compete in, so I can't wait to see the entries! So save the date! You may end up having to eat salads for a week just to make up for the overload of sweets but it'll be worth it!
And we move on....
I had a couple of friends come over for a little Valentine's Day crafting and there ended up being more kids than adults! What made it great was that some of the kids joined in to make a couple of the projects. I love when they jump in with excitement! You can see the light bulb click on and they get lost in their own creative world. I love it. They couldn't wait to share their accomplishments with teachers and parents. So sweet!
We made two cards and Kcup holders. I love 3D projects. They really are my favorite thing to craft. So here's a pic of that...
Cute, right? Tonight I will post the instructions with a pic tutorial. I've got some caking to do in the meantime. :-) We dropped some Hot Chocolate Kcups in these holders and BAM! cuteness.
This one features one of my absolute favorite stamp sets! The Kinda Eclectic stamp set. Oh and my favorite color with Stampin Up, Blackberry Bliss. I don't know what it is but this color is amazing on everything! They new butterflies thinlits? Don't even get me started. They are beautiful!
Upcoming workshop project! This card uses the new Lotus Blossom stamp set. It's a free item in the Sale a Brations catalog with a $50 purchase! This is really a great time to nab all those Stampin Up goodies you've been eyeballin! AND you get to choose a free item from Sale a Brations! It's a win-win. Oh, just to let you know, some of the Blendabilites sets are in the book of freebies. Just saying. (Maybe with my tutorial post later I could get a little better pic of this card. This just isn't doing it justice)
Again, if you're in the area (Corona, Riverside) visit my Facebook page to stay in the know on upcoming workshops. It's pizza, crafting and chit chatting with friends!
Thanks for visiting and come back soon!!
