cake decor and oh so newbie samples

sometimes, hobbies are a never ending feat!!! and talking about hobbies, some are expensive ones!!! last week, i decided to enroll myself in cake decorating. i know i have never even baked nor even held a piping bag in my life!! but i said i want to try it..

you see, cake decor has always been on my wishlist way way back and now that it has been fulfilled, i want to explore more on cake decor and hopefully "bake". of course, my other hobbies like crochet, scrapbooking and books will always stay.

here are some pictures which i took: some to follow too.

what i bought after the class. for practice purposes!!

what i did for a "bald" and damaged cake.

i also got a red ribbon ube mammon ( ube cupcake ) and played with the ready to use icing.

scrap in a run

2 weeks ago, scrap friends meet at mitch's store and did some layouts using the MME line. i ran out of embellishments and had to find ways!

memories - a mixed media class for visual creations

last november 7, 2010, visual creations, a local scrapbooking store in manila conducted a mix media class using the golden molding paste and other mediums to dress up a maya road postal chipboard album.

design team members cabbie ( yours truly ) and ime oranga made their own versions of the albums and the class participants modified their designs using the kit provided.

this is my take on the album:

hambly screenprints painted on the other side will give your white transparency a certain kind of glow and beauty!

molding paste painted with acrylic gives texture as well as boldness and uniqueness to your creation.

i also used the golden pearl mica flakes, although not as glittery, it will still give your album a bit of sparkle.

fabric papers from american craft are a must to every album. here i created a lampshade using the fabric sticker.

insert your transparency to any chipboard spot...

textured background with molding paste. paint it with multi colors!

at the journaling junkie challenge blogspot, we are to scrap about ART. here is my take...

Boys Are Cute - an MME mini album

this is my DT work for Visual Creations using the MME Lost and Found line.

i love to play with the papers. whats so special about this? when you see the actual line, its really different when you view it on the website. though the colors tend to be a little bit pale, playing with the embellishments and combining the papers really is a great challenge!

1.2.3 smile : crown mini album from kaiser craft

i made this album a long long time ago but due to many interferences, it was not "exposed" to the public. i wanted to post on my blog but was waiting for some final thoughts until now...

well, here goes. for aeisha, she is already 3 now.
