For this card, I filled the flowers in in Photoshop, which was a quick and easy way to get the colors to match the patterned paper.
Kathy Martin, the Digital Doodles designer, always posts all of the design team cards, along with lots of other great cards and give-aways, on her blog. It's well worth a visit!
My other crafty endeavor this weekend was a soccer birthday cake for Charlotte's 11th birthday. I don't think cake decorating is going to replace paper crafting for me anytime soon, but I did want to share the results:
I've never baked a birthday cake for either of my girls, so I made up for lost time by getting ambitious and biting off a pretty elaborate one. The soccer ball turned out a little rough. (It just looks more authentic, like it's been kicked around on the field a bit, right?)
It was Charlotte's idea to have the goalies hold up the birthday message. She even made the signs herself:
I have to give a lot of credit and thanks to my mom, who was a huge help, since I was doing this with one arm! And to Parenting Magazine, where the original idea came from. Click here for detailed instructions.

LOVE the cake! I know what you mean about birthday cakes though...not enough practice making them to really get good at it! I made many a cake for my son's birthdays and some were sorta cute and some were a bit on the sad side, but they were home baked from mom.
By-the-way, LOVE the card! ;)
