Bridesmaid inspired cake pops

Cake pops are popular items nowadays, and I couldn't help but share this delicious treat with my bride friend and the rest of her bridesmaids. Our 'mismatches bridesmaid' theme gave me the idea to create some cake pops to match all our dresses, and boy was it a yummy success! I've homemade these tasty treats before, and boy was it a challenging adventure, but after enjoying two of those tasty pops, you see their well worth it.

Hope these inspires you to create pops modeled after your vision as well!

Thanks,

If your ever looking for some cards to share your appreciation to others, send us a note and we'll gladly create a custom greeting card for you!!

Homemade, handmade... There's nothing better!!

Not only is it great to make homemade gifts, crafts and to reduce, re-use and recycle, but there's something to be said for making homemade chips!!

The hubbs & I embarked in a new adventure making homemade chips in the microwave and using little to no salt! Not only were the chips tasty, but healthy and free!

Recently purchasing a chip maker & simple slicer from Pampered Chef was a great decision and were looking forward to making not just potato chips, but apple chips and more excitedly... Yucca chips!! The simple slicer is also very easy to use and the chips only take 3 minutes I. The microwave (pending on your microwave that is ;)

Homemade chips are the way to go!

My friend Jenni recently celebrated her wedding & married the Love of her life! To tie in their special day the bride used her favorite color, PURPLE! I designed an 8x8 book, printed by Blurb to capture their special day!!

Custom cards for special folks

It's been busy the past few months. With lots of events comes lots of cards! I <3 cards & invitations and love creating them for the special people who receive them! Handmade cards, invitations and even envelopes!!

Special parents!

Having two wonderful parents has helped me become the best me I can be! I am truly blessed and grateful to have such hard working, caring and above all, God fearing parents. I want to honor, respect and cherish them every single day, not just during the hallmark holidays, but during Mother & Father's Day, I make sure to let them know how special they are with handmade cards and gifts.

This has been a special year for our family with moving to a new place and our parents celebrating their 25th Anniversary!! 2012 has been a great you do far.

Lavender Pocketfold

We've been busy behind the scenes working on some invitations for a beautiful Lavender July Wedding! The music note invitation features the couples love for music as well a a monogram to their new initials, JBK.

The pocketfold invite is metallic lavender and is layered inside with metallic gray. The & and the couples initials include a purple diamond accent to tie in simplicity and classiness. The monogram initials are also featured on the outside of the invitation to seal it close and on the outside of the envelope.

This invitation was tons of fun to create and is very dear to my heart since I created it for my beautiful cousin, Kimberly!! ^_^
