Paperwork

 

We had a very rainy day yesterday so cutting tile on the deck for the bathroom floor wasn't going to happen. Instead we ran errands and then I spent some time in the downstairs craft room making a card for The Mister who's going to a birthday party for a great niece on Saturday. 




This Lawn Fawn stamp set may look familiar to some of you. I used it ages ago when I was sending cards out with my soap. I thought it would be perfect for an eleven year old girl. 





While I was down there I also worked on my next paper quilt project. I needed a variety of paper strips that looked like fabric so I watercolored and then stamped.





This one is going to be a log cabin quilt. I've never made one out of fabric but I've always wanted to.





But...the best thing I did all day was to make this carrot cake. It was inspired by one of your posts last week. I'd never made one before. I don't think I've ever even tasted one but I gave it a try and it was GOOD.

  1. My son made a carrot cake last week and sent me home with some. I ate a piece for breakfast for a couple of days and I haven't had something that made me that happy in a long time. I highly recommend it!

  2. Your cake looks yummy. I like carrot cake, but I'm not a fan of cream cheese icing. What a cute card - perfect for an 11 year old girl!

  8. Very cute card and the paper idea is really nice. We love carrot cake but usually just make it from a mix. I'm lazy. Ha!
    Blessings and hugs,
