Let's Have Cake!

This is the best type of cake - calorie free and no plates to wash up afterwards!

Last year a friend of mine, who has a very cute and 'quirky' little shop in Kiama asked me to make a paper cake for her as a table centrepiece. Well last year got away from me and this year when I saw her she asked again, and I wasn't going to let her down for a second year in a row!

Be sure to purchase the Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit, from the Holiday Supplement, which will not only give you awesome stars for decorating, but also great to embellish your tree.

I will be running classes on 'cake construction', however listed below is everything I have used, apologies for the long list of materials!

Be sure to check out my friends shop called the Quirky Cow in Kiama, about 2hrs south of Sydney.

Thanks for stopping by, I love comments!

INKspired Artists Blog Hop #4

You may have just 'hopped' here from Lisa, if you have, welcome to our fourth blog hop!

I'm having so much fun with these blog hops, be sure to hop all the way around and see all the awesome creations.

This weeks our layout had me a little stumped at first and then decided to go for a vintage feel using the Bright ad Beautiful Stars set from the Holiday Catalogue.

I was at a Stampin' friends house recently and she used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set with gold embossing, it looked stunning and I very rarely use this stamp set. I was so inspired that I had to use it on my card this week, thanks Denita!

I used the Gold Bakers Twine and pulled out just the gold thread and combined it with the Linen Thread to coordinate with the gold embossing.

Next stop is my friend Marlene with her take on this weeks sketch.

It's hard to believe that another Christmas is just around the corner, but I just LOVE Christmas. I love everything about it...ok except maybe battling the over crowed shops, but even that can be exciting with the buzz in the air and watching children line up to see Santa. So with that, you'll probably see more Christmas creations on my blog than normal over the next two months!

Thanks for 'hopping' by,
