Cherish, was at home sick when school pictures were taken. That meant, I needed to take some pictures asap so she would have 2007-2008 school year pics. These aren't very fabu but it was almost dark so I had to do a lot of photo editing. Hopefully, I will get some better photos taken this week! One drawback will be Weston's birthday party this coming Sat. and I have to make the cake and do all the other fun stuff that parties bring! :) Cherish (9 almost 10)

Sweet, Grubby Grace
Warm weather evokes grubby children! I couldn't resist taking these photos of Grace's very dirt ridden face. If you think her face is dirty you should've seen her feet!!!! EWWW WEEE! They were several shades of black! :D I always say "my children go from two baths a week in the winter, to two baths a day in the summer"!!!
Birthday Card For My Niece
This card was created today for a little niece of mine who's 6th birthday is being celebrated today! :D HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aubrie!!!
This card measures 5.5 by 5.5 inches.
The colors consist of wild wasabi(green), pretty in pink, very vanilla, close to cocoa(brown) and a patterned paper(pink polka dotted)
The flowers are the punched out part of a flower punch. The flower centers are punched from a small circle punch.
The squares were eyeballed... :)
The sentiment is stamped on an oval punch and the cupcake was cut fom the sentiment and colored in withSU markers.
The ribbon is pink gingham.
Hopefully that made a little sense! :D

This card was created for todays sketch challenge at http://splitcoaststampers.com/ I haven't used this stamp set for such a long time so, I thought I would put it to use today. I actually combined this card with yesterdays color challenge. TFL!
Melody's School Program
Melody had her first school program last week....... She enjoyed it very much. The stage was decorated with adorable flowers because the program was about bugs. All the children were dressed up like a bug. As you can see Melody was a ladybug.......Looking back, I realize I should've put black spots on the front of the costume. Duh! :D It was late when I made the costume and all I was thinking about was getting it done because she had to take it to school the next day! I can always add the spots if anyone else ever needs it. This is the stage, I thought it looked so Springy and cute!
Melody and some other bug mates! :)Melody in her ladybug costume.
Melody saying her part, she did exceptionally well.

Homework Assignment (Cherish)
Cherish had a homework assignment this week that consisted of making something from a recipe. She chose to make a cake. And of course, she wanted to deck it out with all my cake decorating goodies! :) Here she is putting the border around the bottom of the cake. Cherish decided to make the border and flowers with blue tinted icing.
Her she is, holding her prize in her hands. Hard work pays off! :)
A close up of her cake. She had a little help but she did a lovely job.

Photos of Grace
As you can see, Grace did not need any coaching. She played it up for the camera. I could hardly keep up with her cute antics. These poses reflect her charming personality.
I also, have more pictures of Grace that I will have to add later. My good photo editing software takes up so much memory that it will only let me save a coupleof edtited photos at a time. I will have to have someone resolve that issue. I am not a whiz when it comes to computers!

Fresh Cards
This is a card I made at Stamp Club this week. I really liked it!
Cherish made this mini post it note clipboard at stamp club. She is her mother's daughter! :D
Another stamp club card......... We inked the edges of the ribbon with an orange marker.
Our stamp clup leader and Stampin' Up demo, gave us these cute choc. nuggets enclosed in a small tin box as a thank you for paticipating in the club. I believe it was a seven month commitment. We had a lot of fun!
This onesie card is one of the cutest ever!!! I love it! WE used a circle punch to make the neck and legs. And a scallop punch along with a circle punch to make the ruffles.
Fondant Cake
I made this in cake class today. It's the second fondant cake I've made. I made one a few years ago for my oldest daughters b-day. I love the neat crisp look the fondant creates!
