oven fresh accents

I did it!  I completed all of the challenges . . . Melissa's "Earthquake Cake" is gone . . . so I guess the party's over  :( 

It will probably take me a week to clean up, but I sure enjoyed creating to my heart's content!

stamps:  papertrey ink, rubber stampede

papers:  stampin' up

die:  sizzix

embellishments:  glass beads & Suze Weinberg's gold ultra thick embossing powder from my stash

rolled dough designs

I've used the paperclay before, so I was interested in trying Melissa's technique with two layers of velllum . . . and yes, it oozed out all over the place when I ran it through my big kick, but it was very easy to clean up.  I really like the texture it creates - it seemed "winterish" to me . . .

Happy Birthday to our little sweetie cake . . . aka "cupcake queen" and "baker extraordinaire!"  She's a lovely young woman/soon to be mother (and that's going to make ME a grandma :)

"scent-sational!"

Oh, what fun . . . it was soooo easy to make this scented embossing mix - I used my beloved "apple pie spice" and this little gingerbread man's heart smells heavenly without even scratching it!  Can't wait to repeat this technique with some pumpkin pie spice on my Thanksgiving projects  :)

Co-workers have decorated their nursery in an ocean theme for their 1st baby - and they don't want to know if it's a boy or girl - they just want to be surprised!  I'm hoping for a GIRL  :)
