Gingersnap CreationsRedhead Challenge

Hello everyone. Are all of my Stateside visitors ready for Thanksgiving? Our sons birthday is on Friday and I'm fretting over using Fondant on the cake. Never used Fondant before. Any one have any tips, rules or tricks? He is going to have a Wow Wow Wubbzy cake so I'll need to color the fondant. Should be fun.

there is a new Redhead Challenge over at Gingersnap Creations and this one was tonnes of fun. Use FRAMES in your project. Here is the project that I chose for this one. Hope you love it and make sure to go on over to Gingersnap Creations and enter your projects using frames.

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday to each and every one of you. I think winter is here. The brisk air, the frost and the snow may be pretty good clues lol.

Lost Coast and a Smile

It is always fun to get together with great people that make you laugh. I am a member of the local Beta Sigma Phi chapter and every second tuesday, I come home with sore cheeks from laughing so hard. What a great feeling

Tonight I'm sharing with you a card that i created for the Lost Coast Designs spot a few weeks ago at Scrapbook News and Review Magazine. I hadn't heard of this company before hand, but have fallen head over heels with the images and the quality. This is one of 4 that I will share with you over the next few days. Let me know what you think



What makes you smile?
