Happy Birthday Jackie...

sorry we are late!!! Jackie, one of my fellow Prettie Girls had a birthday this past Friday, and we are just now celebrating it!! Bet you thought we forgot you!!! My job for this shin-dig was to bring the cake, so here it is!! A couple of parties ago, Julie used a cake from The Pink Cake Box website as her inspiration, so it is where I went first for my inspiration...I swear to you, I could look at their stuff ALL DAY LONG...but I get incredibly hungry for cake while I am there!!LOL!! I chose this gorgeous cake they made for a contest. Isn't it fantastic!! I used the colors and the flowers as inspiration. I stamped Flutter By Sophia with Black Stazon on Whisper White and colored her with my SU markers. I stamped the flower a few extra times and cut them out and glued them on. For the belt, I cut a slit on either side and used some narrow white organdy ribbon. The paper is from SU and from DCWV Nana's Nursery. I added some white taffeta, silver brad, confetti flowers, and pink rhinestones. The sentiment is from a Papertrey set. The colros are Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery.
Be sure to blurf around and check out what the other Pretties have brought to the party!! Also, don't forget to stop by and show Jackie some love!!

Prettie Wednesday- Mini Album

Two Weeks ago Joni challenged all the Pretties to make a mini album...who knew she could be so mean...LOL!!! Okay, so she is so FAR from mean, but seriously...this was really hard. What makes it worse is the fact that MY album has to be sent to Joni, so she is gonna SEE it!!LOL!! Joni just recently got engaged and I just got done looking at some GORGEOUS pictures from her engagement party on her blog. Since this ablum is for her, I wanted her to be able to use it for pictures of her and her fiance, Laddu. I followed this super easy tutorial over on SplitcoastStampers. I used some Paper Studio paper to cover the back and front, textured white for the binding and inside covers, and black cardstock for the flaps. I have to be honest, I didn't do anything inside of it, because I want Joni to be able to do with it what she wants. I used the Sealed With A Kiss set from Paper Pretties and colored it with my SU markers. I then cut it and the black layer out with my nesties. I added some black organdy, white taffeta and some Michael's Bride Confetti flowers.
This weeks challenger is Jackie and I can't WAIT to see what she comes up with!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
