SSPT #2!!!!

Hello again,

I just want to post my project for the Sugar Sweet Paper Treats Design Team. It's due next week but I'm away on vacation and wouldn't be able to get it posted. I took a picture as I was walking out the door to leave. Talk about last minute. So I want to get it posted before I forget.

The challenge this time was a Neapolitan Ice Cream theme. How fun is that!!!! We had to use our favorite flavor as the main color. I think I like Strawberry the best (it changes with the day...lol) so there is a lot of pink as well as some strawberries.

Here is what I came up with......

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More for the cake box in brown for a "Chocolate" cake. For the cake "filling" I used a strip of pink "fat" ribbon and then on top of that I used a skinny white for the "Vanilla" and "strawberry" layers. For the "icing" I used a patterned paper I found at Hobby Lobby and used my EK Success punch to give the "frosting" edge a pretty look. I sprinkled a few adhesive gems on the edge of the frosting. For the bows on the top I used a very think shimmery pink ribbon and well as some sheer ribbon that was Neapolitan themed. I tied two bows and glued them together with my low-temp glue gun. I topped it all of with a Strawberry cut from Indie Art!

The card was made using all the same elements as the cake just moved around a bit.

Hope you all enjoy. And don't forget to hop on over the the Sugar Sweet Paper Treats site to see what my fellow design team members came up with! They did some FABULOUS work!

Check in with ya all soon!

Good afternoon!

The sun is FINALLY out here...so it's such a happy day.

I discovered a new challenge blog that one of my design team sisters help run so I wanted to play along. This is my first time so I'm so excited. It's called Scrappy Frogs Challenge blog. If you haven't checked it out do so here.

The challenge this week was to model a project after the ad for the new Making Memories Slice. They are going to pick a winner and you can win a Making Memories Slice Apron. So Cool!

Here is the ad.....

Here is my project.......

I cut the cake box from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More at fit to page. I think it cut at 9".

I used a grayish paper from Bazzill. For the center "layer" I used a piece of blue vellum and added a sparkly tinsel like ribbon to the center of that. I found it at Hobby Lobby. For the scalloped edges I used my EKSuccess scallop punch and punched them in Turquoise paper also from Bazzill. I added a few Blue adhesive gems to the top. I wanted to use the word "Slice" too. The sentiment was computer generated and cut out with tag Nesties. I piled a bunch of turquoise flowers on the top. On the very top of the pile of flowers I cut a green flower in half and stood it up to mimic the green logo on the slice. The top "frosting" was run through the Cuttlebug using divine swirls.

I also did a card that I'm not happy with...but you can't like em all!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope your day is as sunny as mine. Can you tell I have the Cabin Fever??!!!!
