DIY Birthday

This weekend we went to a BBQ to celebrate Spencer's sister's birthday.  In place of wine or any other hostess gift, she asked people to bring diapers for a shelter in her area that she has been donating to.  We brought a package of diapers, but I wanted to bring something festive as well.

I have seen flower cakes around for a long time and had never gotten the chance to make one. They look so great in pictures.  Doing a whole cake can take a lot of flowers and get really expensive, so I decided to just do a slice of cake.  Next time I do this I will use "flatter" flowers.  These carnations have a bulbous thing underneath the flower that make them stick up above the floral foam, exposing it.  Flowers like daisies would create a flatter, cleaner look.  Oh well, next time!

I also utililzed some stickers and scrapbooking embellishments to make this card.
