Birthdays!

I've been in Birthday mode this month - did a birthday gift project, made a birthday mini-album (will post that next month) for MCS and yesterday made a birthday cake (paper, of course). I made this for my daughter's birthday, can't believe she'll be 8 tomorrow!!!!!



I used three wooden round boxes and covered them with papers printed from this fun, girly kit by Manda at SSD. I added buttons, ribbon, felt ric rac, flowers, some clear sequins and a birthday candle. I put little gifts in each box: earrings, bracelet and a gift card. We got her a Wii last week so this is just a little something extra :)


What have YOU been working on lately? I'd love to know - if you get a chance leave me a comment to link me up to your blog or gallery so I can check it out :)


Happy Weekend!

What an awesome set of gift boxes! I like the boxes so much that they would be a present in and of themselves :D

Please tell your DD Happy Birthday! Doesn't the time go by so quickly? Just be prepared, the year of the 8, begins the independent stage.

Your cake is adorable, and I also love the "softies" your creating. You'll have to let me know when you open up an Esty store. wink!
