A Different Kind of Post

Today I'm posting something a little different. A few weeks ago, I posted the invitations I made for my son's birthday party. His birthday them this year is frogs. I'm really gratefull for Cricut's Create a Critter cartridge. Finding frog decorations was a challenge therefore I made them. That falls well within my wheelhouse but  the cake presented another challenge. I'm usually a cakepan, character cake kind of gal. I found a super cute idea on Pinterest and I went about recreating it. Fondant has always intimidated me but I decided to just go for it. Here's the final result! Not too bad and most important of all, my son loved it.

Ribbit Ribbit

It's been a while since I last posted a new project. The kiddies have been out of school and I've been a busy. My youngest's birthday is coming up and no matter how busy things are, I love making the kids' birthday party invitation. This year is no exception. My son's current obsession is frogs. We spend the majority of our summers glamping and frog hunting is a favorite activity of his. In light of this, I created a froggy invitation to go with his requested frog theme. I did three different versions using different paper. I used my trusty Cricut and started cutting. Here's the final result. What do you think?
