Here Kitty Kitty.

My latest project that I have been working on is Birthday invitations for a sweet little lady who will be turning 1 soon. Actually with this project I get to combine my two loves. I am making her invites and I also get to make and decorate her cake. Her mom chose Hello Kitty as her theme. Since I do not own a Hello Kitty stamp, I did the top layer of the invite digitally. Her mom had a saying that she wanted on the card as well, so this worked out great.
I was also able to use up some of my retired colors from Stampin Up! That is a great feeling to use these wonderful colors. They were just sitting in my cabinet yelling at me to be used. I think I am falling in love with Hello Kitty now. She is such a cute little thing. I am looking forward to making the cake at the end of this month.
So now, the only thing left on my calendar this week is to make another cake. YEAH ME!!!!
I will get it made tomorrow and decorated on Friday morning. The party for this little princess is on Saturday. I am doing a Little Mermaid cake.
Well I hope that you enjoy taking a look at the Hello Kitty invites.
Please remember that I can do invites, thank yous, cards, and party favors and don't forget the cake, cookies, or cupcakes.

Happy Stampin and Bakin

Where does the time go?

WOW. Where does the time go? One blink and the summer is over and school has started back. My kidos have been back in school for 3 weeks now and I gone back to work. So I apologize for neglecting my site. I need to work on making time for my blog. I have been so busy with the kids activities and my own that I have not had time to sit down and write. Ally has started back with all of her after school activities including soccer and Girl Scouts in the evenings. Andrew is still just doing soccer and Cub Scouts right now. Next year he gets to take advantage of the after school fun.
I have been able to get some stamping done here and there. I have taken on the task with our school in making Birthday cards for all the teachers and staff this year. So that is one way to make me stamp. :-). Baking has kept me busy especially last week. I was baking cupcakes 3 out of the 5 days and then a Birthday cake for my niece on this past Saturday. Man did my kitchen smell good all week long. I love baking and I am so happy that I am doing more of it. I got another order for a cake for next Friday.
But what I love the most is when I can combine my love of baking and stamping together. And that is exactly what I have coming up. I am making First Birthday invitations for a little cutie and her Birthday cake in October. What else could I ask for, I get to stamp and create on paper and then to bake and create on cake.
I do have pictures of the cake for my niece Cortni, but I did not take pics of the cupcakes. I will post pics of the cards that I have done too, but I still have to take them.
Until then.

Happy Stampin
