Sweet Inspiration!

Here is a picture of the incredible and entirely edible wedding cake created for my duaghter, Deborah's, wedding by my DAL's SIL! :-D  We knew Sue was super-creative but this is just incredible!  All of the roses, leaves, and jasmine flowers were hand-created and edible.  The shells were pearly white chocolate!  Not only does the cake look fabulous, the taste was........mmmmmmm. The bottom layer was lemon with lemon filling and the middle layer was chocolate with rasberry filling!  (Note the emphasis on WAS!)

Here is my inspiration for the SOS Stampers' meeting this coming Tuesday evening:  One of the make and takes will incorporate the color and floral themes of the cake.  I wish I could bring samples to the Tuesday evening meeting but.....That's the problem with a REALLY delicious (non-commercial, non-generic) cake.  Everyone wants a little of both flavors!! 

SOS Stamp Club Meeting and Stamping With a Purpose! Please Join Us!

Here are some of the demos and make'n takes from last evening's SOS Stamp Club meeting at the Stamping Oasis--well the room right next to the Oasis since the heat in my Florida Room has made it seem more like the Stamping Desert!!


We had lots of fun making our Sea Turtle cards (I CASEd the design totally from Stampin' Connection.) and then changed gears with the new Fast and Fabulous 2-step stamping set!  We also used blender pens and aqua-writers on the new sketch stamps.  Too much fun!!


Ronald McDonald House Card Project!  The SOS (Stressed-Out Stampers) Club is going to spearhead a card-making project to benefit the Orlando, FL Ronald McDonald House.  We will be sending the cards to RMH in early September.  We hope you'll join us in this endeavor.  If you'd like to participate, E-mail me at reenathan@bellsouth.net and I'll send you our address.  I'll also, with your permission, post your works of art on my blog.


Here are the guidelines:
•Goal: 1 or 2 cards and envelopes a week (Perhaps you might just finish those cards that are half done or make an extra card or 2 the next time you sit down to create!)
•Cards: Thinking of You, Happy Birthday, Have a Good Day, etc. (No "Get Well Soon", please.)


•Our goal: 100+ cards and envelopes


•Ask other stamping friends to contribute.

Happy Stamping and Hugs!!  Ree
