This is Jordan's Halloween Album and was made using the tutorial from "Follow the Paper Trail" by Laura on YouTube.  I really enjoy her videos and find them easy to follow and she has a lot of variation.  This album uses the flip pages but also utilizes envelopes for a flip up action that also creates a lot of pockets that can be used for tags and/or pictures.  I always have a lot of pictures, so this type of album is a favorite of mine.

Jeremiah's 6th Birthday Cake

Jeremiah had a hard time deciding what theme he wanted for his birthday cake this year.  First he wanted Spiderman and then Angry Birds, then Transformers but at last decided on Sonic the Hedgehog, his very favorite video game.  He really liked his cake and had a lot of fun at his birthday party at Chucky Cheese.

Paper Bag Mini Album

I have been watching YouTube to learn how to make a mini paperbag, and other, albums.  My favorite was Laura, from Follow The Paper Trail and this is my first attempt using her tutorial.
P.S. my grandson really likes it!

Nanny's 84th Oriental birthday party cake

Eiffel Tower in Paris

This cake is for my nieces' birthday.  She loves anything to do with Paris so I threw in just about everything I could think of that was French.  I didn't mean to make the cake this large but as it turned out, I had made the Eiffel Tower too large for a 6" cake and had to scale everything larger because I didn't want to remake the tower. Everything on this cake is edible, made of fondant, white chocolate bark, royal icing and buttercream, and all handmade by myself.   I had to get my nephew to come over to help me load it because I was way to heavy for me.  It was all worth it because she just loved it and that's what it's all about.  LOVE
