I made this last fall. I re-fashioned it today and I am finally going to wear it. (One of the flowers I used was too big so I changed it today)
I wasn't sure it was my style but I think I'll step out of my comfort zone today. :)
What do you think? It was fun to make (it only cost about $18 to make and you have leftovers so you could make more!)

I'm not super thrilled with how she turned out. The background is a little dark and her "side braid" was hard to get right.
I do love the sheet music background and her "sentiment". Any ideas how to make her cuter? Remove the bird from her shoulder? Lighten up the background? Re-do her hair? Please respond! Thanks!
I love how she turned out but I am at a loss for her "phrase". Can you help me? I thought of "She knew she could do it so she did"....but it doesn't seem to fit her.
Please give me some ideas!
This is the house I made today. Like it? I'm going to put it on etsy!
I got this recipe from my friend at work, Jessica. I made it this weekend and it is ridiculous!!!!
Better than sex cake
1 box red velvet cake mix
1 14.5 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 c cinnamon creamer (divided)
1 tub vanilla cool whip frosting (did you know they made this?)
1 tub cool whip
chocolate shavings
Bake cakes as per box instructions
Poke holes evenly over cake
Whisk together the condensed milk and 1/2 c creamer, pour over the cake, filling the holes
After the cake has cooled, Whisk together the cool whip frosting, cool whip and 1/2 c creamer. Spread on the cake. Top with chocolate shavings.
Verdict: Best thing ever!!! Take it to your next party and you will be the star!
Hints: Someone taught me to shave a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler! It worked great!
This makes a ton of icing....you can use the extra as a great fruit dip or spread it between graham crackers (I used chocolate grahams :)
ENJOY!
