Mady Moo Turns 2 (Part 2 of 2)

Well, it seems as though I did not get as much done for my baby girls birthday as I wanted :)  I think with the end of school and baseball season (and work and 4 kids, lol) I ran out of time!  I did get to make her a quick banner and I made and decorated her cake myself.  I used the Old West Rope font for the letters on the banner, which were perfect because I had used a rope font on her invitations!   I used the create a critter for the little cow (again).   She loved blowing out the candle on her cake and she loved having everyone (her cousins) over to help celebrate turning 2!  I used some new wilton molds for the fondant decorations.  I had planned to cut a cow with my Cricut cake but I ran out of time!  If only there were a few more hours in each day!  Don't ya just love her little cupcake dress!  I had to get one for my 3 year also, they both loved wearing them.  TFL.

 

 

Relay for Life

This past weekend my sons, my sister-in-law, my niece, my mom, my aunt and a couple of friends participated in the Relay for Life in honor of all who suffer from Cancer but mostly in honor of my Grandfather who passed away last year after suffering for years with non-Hodkins Lymphoma.  Although I was not officially on the team (I signed the boys up to represent us all) I did most of the work on the boys behalf (except the actual walking the laps, LOL).  I made a banner of our team "logo" To Hail With Cancer,  which I really enjoyed making and am very proud of.  I used my Gypsy to plan it all out, the Sports Mania cartridge for the triangles (using the hidden contour feature), Old West for the letters and Create a Critter for the clouds and umbrella.  I think I may have used it for the snow flakes also but I am not sure about that.  I added clouds after I took the "final" picture so I took a picture of that portion.  I made those pieces of the banner to divide the words.  I hope to make another banner using the same base (different colors) for my daughters upcoming 2nd birthday!  

 

  

  

 Also, as a part of the Relay for Life we had an onsite bake sale. I made cupcakes and cookies.  For those I made little cupcake toppers using our team "logo" To Hail With Cancer that my sister in law made and I made little cookie pouches using those stickers I made and CD envelopes.  I used my Cricut after I printed the stickers on 8 1/2 X 11 stickers sheets to cut out the circles using the center cut option which I LOVE!  TFL.
