A birthday card out of my comfort zone

Back in June my son was going to a birthday party held at a local pool, and since I had a lot of embellishments bought at the local grocery store, I decided to try to use those, even though very colorful cards are not my thing. I like putting on embellishment, but sometimes you buy things that end up just laying around forever because you don't know how to use them, so this was quite a challenge for me. The background paper is also from the grocery store from some 12x12 paperpad they sold a while ago. Here is the card:

As you can see, it is very colorful.

Materials used:

Background paper and embellishments from local grocery store

Black and pink card stock

Our New Years Eve dessert

Happy New Year.


For our dessert this year I decided that I wanted to try to glaze something, since I haven't tried that before, but I got very inspired to do so, but watching the Danish Christmas version of the Great Bake Off. So here it is our fancy dessert:

It was actually not so hard as I had imagined, only mistake I did, was not following the recipe, at least I figured out what to do to get it to work. Here is how the cake look inside:

The cake consisted of "kransekage" bottom, blackberry lchf fatbombs, lemon fromage and blackberry mousse and glaze.
