ColourQ #348

Hello...it is time for a new color palette at ColourQ #348 and the colors are simply fabulous but then any time orange is in the mix I am a happy camper! I won a gift certificate from Hero Arts and bought this sweet ice cream cone stamp and die set and I just love it! It is so much fun to stamp with. I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your week!

Have a Sweet Birthday

It seems like it has been forever since I made a card to post.  Last week was so busy with trying to get ready for Halloween.  I finished Ashleigh's costume today and it turned out just way too cute!  I baked cupcakes today and turned them into little monsters to celebrate Halloween tomorrow at school.  What do you think?

Here is a close up of the little guys...

They were so much fun to make.  I used my cupcake and frosting recipes from the TeaCake Bake Shop. I colored the frosting and coconut with some food color and then put some Dots candy on a toothpick and added the edible eye ball with a dab of frosting.  Hope the little muchkins like them.

Now on to the card I made today.  I love the PTI Sweet as Can Be stamp set and love pairing it with Funky Town paper, such a great combination. I have collecting felt for awhile and decided this would be the perfect card to use a bit of it on...it really makes the best scoop of ice cream and then a red button to take the place of the cherry.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Fleet Week and the Blue Angels

Did not get any crafting done on Sunday like I had planned.  We spent the entire day in San Francisco for Fleet Week and to celebrate my friend Christina's birthday. We surprised her with a day in the city. We hit Pier 39 at 10:00am, did a bit of shopping and then headed to Bubba Gumps for a wonderful lunch.

After lunch we headed to the very end of the pier to get a good spot for watching the air show.  The jets were so loud I thought I was going to jump out of my skin!  Here are a few picutres of the jets.

The show with the Blue Angels was canceled due to the fog so we did not get to see them this time.  We will try again nect year. We still had a blast and headed back down the pier for some ice cream, donuts and to see if we could find some men in uniform to take pictures of with the Birthday Girl, Christina!

We all had a great time...thanks for taking a peek at our day in the city.

Triple Decker Cone

Just got this stamp set from PTI and have been dying to get it a try.  Had a bit of trouble lining up the stamp to the actual scoop, but looks ok to start with.  I think it almost look good enough to eat! Thanks for taking a peek.
