For My Beautiful Granny!!!

My Granny which we call Fanita always held a great chunk of my heart her passing was and still is hard. At times I still get very emotional and break down. I ran across another blogger Velma at creativelyouttacontrol.blogspot.com her mom had recently passed away and I found something so touching that gave me so much inspiration to work on a canvas to display in my home. The words that she displayed under her mom picture made me see someone passing in a different way.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles.
I've only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes
pain and grief, my going has eased
my hurt and given relief.
Do dry your eyes and remember me
not as I am now, but as I used to be,
because I will remember you all
and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts I've only
gone to rest a little while. As long as
I have the love of each of you
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you

So I want to remember my granny is her most Diva-ish look. I created this Layout using Webster Pages Hollywood Paper and added ribbon and bling for a perfect vintage/modern look.

 I know pics are a lil dark i will get better at pics I promise :)

Where have I been????




Hello World,

I have been missing for a couple of months, okay maybe 10 months lol! but I thought I'd give blogging another shot, and really try this time around. The time I spent away was used very well so I wanted to share with all of you what I was up to these last couple of months. Ready here we go.


These are some roses I learned to do with the Wilton Books.



The second set of pictures was a Lego Ninjago Cake that I worked on for my Nephew Brandon, He knew what he wanted and he wasnt afraid to tell me. He said Titi Mayra I want this so I did my magic I think I did pretty good.






My moms Bday is during the summer so we had a small Luau Party for her, and I was in charge of the cake. I made some Tiger Lillies from Gumpaste then 2 Tier covered with cookies to give it that Luau Effect.


The next cake I worked on was a Basketball, this was a challenge I bought the round cake pans from Wilton but it was too small, so we had to improvise I used 2 oven safe glass bowls and even though I was praying that they would crack. I made a faux wood floor to go with the basketball theme. Most of the lettering was done with my Cricut Cake Machine that my wonderful Hubby got me when I asked him for another dog. lol (wonder how many times I can use that)




On a paper crafting note I made this Halloween Wreath with my Cricut Expression 2-Anniversary Edition Machine I love it. I used the Mini Monsters Catridge. Super Cute!!!

Last but not least on the update- My Niece Gabby Turned 3 in October and her Theme was Mickey Mouse. With the Help of my Cricut Cake Machine I came up with this. So lovely my best work yet. I'm so proud of this one. 



See told you guys time well spent.
