Cake Pops aka Cake Balls

I saw these on the site Craft Gossip and just had to try making them. The inside is choc. cake mixed with choc. fudge frosting and then dipped in white choc. and sprinkled with blue sugar. Theyre yummy and look pretty =) The photo was taken by my husband with the iphone 4.

New Henna Tattoos

I decided to go with a fish theme this time >}}}}}> The blue color that can be seen a bit is from the transfer paper. I transfered some of the major design elements and then did the rest freehand. I like the koi on my palm but im not too thrilled with the waves by its tail. Ah well, live and learn. After i finished my design and it dried i sprayed it with lemon juice and sugar that i mixed and added to a spray bottle. Then Craig wrapped up my hand. Im really happy how it came out =) Ill probably glue some gems on the eyes of the fish on the back of my hand.





Craig did a great job of taping up my hand to keep the henna paste on while i slept. I also put a large sock over my hand to keep it warm. Heat helps the stain, or so ive read.





This was taken this morning after about 9 hours of having the henna paste on, its already gotten darker and will continue to darken over the next two days.

Stars!!

Ive become a bit obsessed with nautical stars. The star inside the circle with flowers is inspired by a dream I had.

More Doodles!

I snapped some quick pics of these new doodles. Its easy to tell how henna tattoo designs have influenced my work. Ive also started playing with a bit of color.

Ogim Art !!!!

This is what I worked on this afternoon. I bought those Keller Creations panel pieces a while ago and never made anything with them. I also planned on making a scrapbook when we got Ogim but never did. Hes a year and 4 months and i had more fun making those panels than scrapbooking.

Hand made cards ...

I belong to two wonderful yahoo groups, Card Crafting Divas and Happy Stampers, and we swap cards with each other. These are a few recent ones that ive made.

Henna Tattoo

Craig took this at my mother in laws Fourth of July picnic. Just the top of my hand though.

Henna Swallow

Yesterday at my mother in laws 4th of July picnic I got to paint on my cousin in law. She wanted a swallow between her shoulder blades.....though...it was hard for her to sit still, and afterward the tattoo got messed up but it was fun to do =)

More Doodles

More doodles! The first is called Nexus, the second doesnt have a title yet but its my fave so far.

My Henna Tattoos

My new henna tattoos, I used ready made paste from www.HennaCaravan.com I just took the paste off this morning, I had it on for about 10 hours, it should continue to darken over the next 24 hours.

Accomplished...sort of.

I just finished editing wedding photos. Wedding photography is our side business. The editing takes a long time so it feels nice to finally be finished with a whole wedding.....and I get to start editing the next wedding! So, accomplished...yes. Done?...no. =)

Chicken Blanket?!

This doodle took on a mind of its own. It started in the upper left corner with just a few feather like shapes....then it grew legs. I gave it to Craig and for some reason he named it Chicken Blanket.

My First Doodle...

Ive started creating doodle art, some people call them Zentangles. Theyre fun to do and have no rules to follow.

Circle Doodle.
