Hunter's Cake and Template Freebie

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day yesterday. :)

Last weekend we went camping for Hunter's birthday. Man, what a wet weekend it was, too. :P By the time we came home on Sun we no longer had a black & white Shih Tzu. Instead we had a black one. :O Thankfully on Saturday when we had Hunter's birthday party with his friends it was dry until it got dark. We had the pleasure of setting up and taking down in the rain, too. lol. Unfortunately with all that rain that meant no sitting around the campfire at night too. Good thing we had packed games in the campers to play instead. The kids had a great time as usual, though, so it was all good. :)

For Hunter's birthday we decided to go with a Super Mario Bros. theme. I made funfetti cupcakes with red, green and blue frosting for his party with his friends and a funfetti cake for his family party. The decorations on his cake took me quite a while to make, but I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Everything on it was edible except for the Mario figurine on the top.

This week I'm thinking about trying a strawberry lemonade cake and cupcakes. I found a recipe that sounds pretty good and it's a flavor Lisa would like to try for her wedding. So I'm going to give it ago. Will try to remember to take pictures so I can post them here. :)

I'm hosting the Tuesday Template challenge at ScrapMatters today. :) You can snag this free template from me in this thread. Since it's the end of May, you have until the end of June to get a page completed!

Here is the page I created using The Design Girl's Fairytale and Erica Zane's If You Give a Girl a Castle that inspired the template.

It's been a fairly productive month scrapwise for me, too. Here are some of the other pages I managed to scrap. :)

My exciting news!

It's finally time for me to announce what I have been working on for the last month! :) I'm so excited to share with you that I will now be selling my designs at Scrapping Fairytales. It is a brand new store and today is their grand opening. You can find my shop here or just click on the blinkie in the sidebar. I've also set up a fanpage on Facebook, so make sure to check it out and click the "like" button, so you stay up to date on the latest news. :) To celebrate my new store I'm also having a one day sale tomorrow.

The first kit I have releasing today is Tomboy Treasures. There is a little freebie that coordinates with this kit at the end of this post, so don't forget to grab it. Also, one of my CT members has a great frame cluster freebie for you that coordinates with The Zoo Crew on her blog. You can grab it here.



Next up is The Zoo Crew Collection. You can get each piece individually or buy the bundle and save.









I also have a couple more items that coordinate with The Zoo Crew. They are a set of word art frames and a pack of zoo themed word art.





And as promised here is a little freebie from me that goes with Tomboy Treasures. Click on image to download.
