How long do I have to wait?

How long do I have to wait? says Lucas while waiting for the birthday cake on his 3rd birthday. Lucas is the son of a very dear friend of mine.

Blow! I need Help! It's not that easy blowing out the candles all by yourself - help is needed!

For both I have used SEI Stitches, papers, tags and decorations, See Dee's calendar stamps and pens.

Ranger Embossing Puffs

Oh, how I love this product! I got it in my hands last week, but didn't have time to try it until yesterday. If you like embossing, this will be a thrill for you. It works just the same as EP, so stamp on and pour the powder over! After heating it kind of "puffs", just like the fabric paint that was so popular some years ago. A nice touch to those creations where you don't want that glittery effect, but a more subtle one.
