My American Crafts blog assignment for February was to use their Knock Out punches on a project. My dearly loved Kim Watson was here the week it was due, so she helped me with the idea AND the execution (ok, maybe she even did all of it - I can't really remember!). haha
It was my birthday weekend, so we wanted to create a little birthday decor centered around the beautiful coconut cake my husband buys me each year. It is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. I drool just looking at these pictures. We then went and bought a few cupcakes and some candy before starting. Our plan was to devour it all as soon as the photographs were taken. Here we are in the candy store enjoying the "prep" work (please forgive the quality of phone photos in bad lighting!):
Next, we started building the little party. We used the new Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line which is about as delicious as all these treats are! There are detailed instructions with photos on the AC blog - just scroll down a couple of posts to find them. And here are some more delicious photos of our edible decor!
Have a great day my blog friends! Thanks for visiting! Suzy
Beautiful! Wish I could've been there. :) Happy belated birthday!

Happy belated birthday! I'm sure you were smiling as you did all this "work". Having Kim by your side only made it more fun. Gorgeous projects!

Okay, money making scheme: You and Kim should open an Etsy store selling party ensembles. And give me a cut cause it was my idea. Huh? Huh? ;)
