Happy Birthday!

Hi there! It's back to normal schedule for me today after a few days off and a busy weekend of birthday fun! Since yesterday was my birthday and this week is my turn to host The Shabby Tea Room challenge, I decided to entice you with this delicious cake and a theme of Chocolate Covered Autumn! I hope you are inspired by the cake, the colors, the flowers, the season...any and all would be lovely for this challenge! Our wonderful sponsor is Meljen's and you can find these stamps at Whimsy Stamps!


I used several images for this chocolate covered cake box creation including Squirrel's Little Acorn, Autumn Leaf and Acorn, Little Layered Flowers Mini Cuties and Round Leaf and Rose Bloom.

(sorry for the delay in the details...internet problems again...now back to our regularly scheduled program...)


I started by creating this cake box from a template. Then I used a Fiskars punch to create a sort of icing edge at the top and then cut a piece for the center filling of the cake with brown cardstock. I colored the squirrel and all the flowers and leaves with copics and cut them out. Layering them up on top was the fun part! To make the squirrel stand up, I bent his feet forward and glued him in place. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the pearls are from Recollections.

Be sure to stop by the other Shabby Girls' blogs to see what they have created for you!
