New find: your cupcakes can be the most original on earth!

I know how popular cupcakes are these days, but how many of us actually have the time to customize them for every party?  I like the printables that stick in the top, but after a couple of those it's time to change things up.  So look at these!

Cupcake wrappers and design ideas from Roundabouts!

Here's how they work:
1. Make the cupcake

2. Put on the wrapper

3. Decorate the top!

Easy as, well, cupcakes!

New find: keep your florals forever

While at The Special Event, design maven Sasha Souza presented her favorite things for weddings.  One I just loved and which would be great for anyone who receives a gift of special flowers are Bloombeads. 

These are custom beads and jewelry pieces made from your flowers.

• Bracelets • Charm bracelets • Charms, including Pandora style
• Necklaces & pendants • Earrings • Rosaries • Rings
• Keyrings & mens’ accessories

 

 

All jewelry is handmade with solid sterling silver findings.  Air-dried flowers can be used so it’s never too late!

 

 

 

 

 I can think of many times when a special bouquet, corsage, or arrangement is a memento I would want to keep.  Anniversary flowers, baby shower cake topper flowers, a prom corsage, so many moments are highlighted with floral accents.  Since the stones are made from your actual flowers, they reflect the same color and vibrancy of the original petals. 

TSE Update

The Special Event is over halfway through and I've seen some great speakers and events.  Here's a peek:

TSE 2011

Super excited for The Special Event 2011 this week!  I should have lots of exciting ideas and photos to post from Phoenix.

In the meantime, here are some ways I've been playing with my Silhouette.

In the kitchen for my trash and recyle bins

In the living room to change up the fireplace and also add some Valentine spirit

I even worked some magic into my office, but will have to upload those photos.



Fairyland

My first tooth fairy was such a success I had to make a sister.  Again this is from mmmcrafts blog.

The tooth body is white fleece.  Skirts are wired ribbon.

I love weekends when I can be productive and turn out some fun and quick projects!

Tooth Fairy Pillow

The cold weather has brought out my domestic skills.  I found this cute tute on mmmcrafts and gave it a whirl.

Voila!  The Tooth Fairy has landed.
