Hello There!

The Verve forum (over at SplitCoast) has a month of challenges called "Viva La Verve" and there are four challenges in a month. This is the first one, it's both a sketch challenge and a twist! This one has a twist of embossing, either dry or wet. I did both. Not sure if you can see that, but I wet embossed the sentiment, and dry embossed the patterned paper. I also sanded the patterned paper so the embossing shows a little more. The bird and stem are covered with crystal effects. You probably can see that in the second pic!

In other news, my baby turned one on Monday!! I can hardly believe that a year has gone by ... my oh my ... We have a tradition of making my very favourite cake for each of our kids on their first birthday. It's with those chocolate wafers by Mr. Christie and whip cream. Super yum, basically a log cake that requires no baking but guarantees a ton of mess! This is Mattias at his best. He LOVED it!!

Have a fabulous day!
