Diaper Cakes and Oh More Diaper Cakes!

Bonjour Les lecteurs!

One of my favorite all time projects is diaper cakes!  They are so fun to create and easy to make.  For some reason everyone I know is having a baby so the diaper cake business is booming!

Karla's Cake

I usually use 50-100 diapers depending on how big its going to be.  In addition to diapers I use clothes, blankets, bottles, and anything else I can use from the registry.  I also pay attention to the theme of the shower which will influence the ribbon choice and sticker choice.  The cake topper is always the hardest to choose.

Angela's Cake

Karla had a Mustache Bash for her shower theme.  It was super cute, mustaches everywhere!  For the cake topper I choose and "O" because the baby's name is Oliver.

The Winnie the Pooh diaper cake was for my cousin Angela, and she chose not to know what the gender of the baby was until the shower.  So I hid all the clothes and other goodies in the honey pot so she would be surprised.  This was probably my favorite cake because I love Winnie the Pooh!

Dee's Cake

Victoria's Cake

DeeDee and Victoria had a Noah's Arc theme, and a joint shower.  I hope Jonah and Nathan liked their cakes!

Canvas Art!

Howdy Readers!

So I know I haven't posted in a couple of months, but life is crazy busy.  I have still been keeping up with my projects though.  I have a lot to post, so just keep checking.  Also if you like anything please leave a comment!

Birds

So this post is about some of my art I have created using canvas.  I love to paint, and when I see a painting I like I try to duplicate it.  I also love to use pictures in my art.

This first painting I made for a friend for her birthday.  I heard she like birds and saw I painting I really wanted to try and create.  Its called Birds!  I hope you like it Desaray.

When my good friend Chelsie decided that she was going to move to Oklahoma (and by decided I mean she was forced by the Air force)  I decided she needed something to put in her house to let everyone know she comes from the great state of TEXAS, and she went to the greatest school ever UT.  I also wanted her to remember her friends she made while she was at UT.  Being apart of the Texas Women's Rugby team I met some great friends and I met Chelsie!  I miss you girl, and I hope you like your going away present!

UT Collage on Canvas

For both of these paintings I used regular acrylic paint on canvas.  For the collage I used the same Liquitex gloss as used in "Picture on Canvas" to hold the pictures to the canvas and then a layer on top to keep it glossy.

Thanks for reading!!
