Hi friends and happy weekend!
As you may remember from this post, I have a new segment this year called Find Your Inspiration! (F.Y.I.)
This is actually post #4, but after I looked for the others, I realized I never launched them!
So I'm rearranging a few blog posts and now #4 is #2 - LOL!
I'm in a fun group on Splitcoaststampers called the Creative Card Chicks.
This month, our hostess Barb, sent us a super cute card kit
including this wonky cake image from Whipper Snapper stamps.
Which I was SUPER giddy to see because when I went to visit
the crafty gals at camp, we stopped by Creative Pals which is a store
that's wall to wall whipper snapper (and more) stamps!
What a fun store!!
But more than just the fun store and great card kit,
the minute I saw the image, I was immediately brought back to
my oldest daughter's Sweet 16 ♥
She's now 23 and engaged to be married and So. Grown. Up!
When we were planning her party,
she told me of a cake she designed and it was bright and neon
and 'sort of wonky.'
When we explained her vision to the cake maker,
she smiled and said "not a problem, I can do wonky!"
And she did!
Her cake was a vision and EXACTLY what she drew up and described!
See! ↓
I actually couldn't find the photo in my seperate hard-drive photo
and colored the image on my card from memory!
Once we hooked that up to find these 7 year old photos,
I was so excited that I ALMOST got it right :)
Here's my card, which is a two-fer:

Thanks, Barb, for your wonderful kit and the walk down memory lane :)
Have a great weekend, friends!
I hope something inspires you today ♥
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Oh, I love it and how it almost exactly matches the original cake. Such fun and great coloring.
ReplyDeleteReading your post made me smile :) The cake maker made a perfect work for your daughter and it was very colorful (and wonky LOL)!
ReplyDeleteLovely card on that memory, so bright and fun!
Hugs
I love the card and reading some of the memories from two weeks ago. I love the card--and I love the picture of the cake too--and your DD. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteOH Kelly... your card is AWESOME! I love the overall design and the fun coloring. It is absolutely perfect in every way! BUT... I just say, the photo of your DD and the cake she designed has stolen the show on this blog post. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card!! The cakes are awesome...both the one on your card and your beautiful daughters' cake!! You matched it perfectly!! Love this!! Have a great weekend!! Big hugs :)
