CHEESECAKE WISH

Hi Everyone

I hope everyone is OK. 

Its a bit dull and cold here today and we had quite a frost this morning.  Hubby's car was all frosted over first thing!!!

I thought I would share a bit earlier today as I have quite a bit planned for the rest of the day.  

So here is today's share using the very first ever Penny Black stamp I bought .. .. I think he is my all time favourite. 

I wonder if that is because he was the first?    If my house was burning down and I was only allowed to grab one stamp out of my whole collection it would be this one.  Oh dear .. that was a depressing thought .. .. we will leave that one there!!!  Too painful to think about!!!

Anyway, here it is



This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1652J" Cheesecake Wish
Sentiment:  Funky Hand "Craft The Year Away CD" - Hobo Font
Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
Woodware Punches:  Flowers
Martha Stewart Punch:  Frond
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glimmer Mist sprayed on the flower
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Ribbon and Brad from the Stash Box

You might remember that last week I mentioned that I might need to ice a cake for a friend .. .. .. well the dreaded day came and I did it this morning.  Luckily the cake was already iced and all I needed to do was to ice a football emblem onto a cake and the words "Happy Birthday Doug 70" in a circle around the emblem and then two circles to encase it all .. .. .. .. all in black icing!!!

Well all I can say is .. .. a blind man would be glad to see it and no way was I putting a photograph onto my blog .. .. I am sticking to the cardmaking LOL!!!

At least my friend was pleased and hopefully Doug will be too. 

My lappy still hasn't come back from the computer hospital yet .. .. and it has been two weeks now!!!  I am beginning to think that it is poorlier than they first thought (as though needing a new hard drive wasn't bad enough).

Enjoy the rest of today.

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    I can see why you love this stamp - that little fellow is gorgeous. Love the colours of the papers you have used. Very warm and lush.
    I'm sure the cake will be fine - after all - it's what it tastes like more than what it looks like. I'm guessing that's gonna be OK.lol

    A beautiful card Jules. Such a cute image and perfectly coloured.
    You have raised a very good point, I am now wondering whether my house insurance would cover craft stuff!

    Fabby card Jules, I like the image as well, very endearing.
    I'm sure the cake was great. I was asked to put a name on an iced cake once, about an hour before it was needed so I suggested to do a nice scallopped paper tag and she was well pleased. I made it double so it could stand up and be seen from both sides.
    I've just managed to finish all my orders, wow, it's been some week but hey ho, it's all good for the spending fund.

    I can see why this stamp is your favourite, Jules, he is a real cutie. It's a beautiful card as always.
    I bet the cake looked great, You're doing yourself an injustice. Piped icing is so hard to do I try and steer clear!! Not easy when you decorate cakes!!
    Hope you got some sunshine in the end, it's been glorious here today.
    Hugs Lisax
