A little bit of catching up

I know Ive been MIA lately. Sorry about that. But here is a few things that Ive been up to.

Im finally through with Wiltons Course 1 cake decorating class. Im now signed up for the Wiltons fondant and gumpaste one that will start next week, (hopefully enough people will have signed up). This was the second cake. The first got cut up before a picture was taken.

This rose cake was the last one for this course. I think my roses came out quite well for them being my first ones!

Ive also made a few baby shower cards for another SIL. her shower will be next weekend. My MIL took the green one, and my other soon to be SIL took the plaid to give away.

If you look closely at the pic, you will find the pacifer, bottle and the safety pin.

This one is harder to make out in the picture. the sentiment says, "you're expecting! so happy for you". I hand wrote "before" and "after"

Backyard bbq

sorry I'm too lazy to go downstairs and grab my camera so I took this with my camera phone, thus explains the poor quality photo. here_is_the_link. this is an older file that I created. ive had absolutely no time for anything new.

Happy Birthday card w/ deer

this card will be for my husband to glance at and my father in law to keep. my husbands birthday is this coming thurs. and he really is not a card person. in fact he could really care less about getting anything, let alone a card. Ill keep the inside clean and he will glance at it and then the following week is my father in laws birthday so I will write inside and give it to him. Hey it works for us. I feel good about giving my husband a card and my father in law loves my homemade cards, so at least he appreciates them. This card wraps up a few challenges... At 365cards the challenge was to look at a pic and let it inspire you. Well I have to say that I was barely inspired for this particular card. I needed a male card so the cake in the picture make me think of a birthday cake. So here is my birthday card. At mojomonday I followed the sketch for the week. At pileiton it was to make it different, use at least 3 different embellies. Mine are ribbon, a staple, and the green flower. Hope you like it, I really think my father in law will, since he loves hunting those deer.
