First of all...
I want to wish my blog friend Tammy a very happy birthday!
(Be sure and leave her a b-day comment when you go by her blog in a few minutes :)

In honor of Tammy's birthday, I have this fun group of birthday captions you can download.

Happy Birthday SVGs

Have you ever made a project and it just did not come out the way you planned?
That is what happened with my first project. I thought ,"how cute would a 3D gumball machine be."
Sounds cute. The files took a while to figure out and when I thought I had it together, it was a little disappointing.

It just needed something else.
(It does not work like a gumball machine. It is just a round box.)

I tired to add a stand.

Still not quite right.
I tried to add ribbons and bows.Still not quite right.

So I made something else.
(I was very happy with this one)

It is a step card that I converted to a SWEET shop.

(See the tab marked "step cards" for more info and a cut file for a generic side step card.

Go ahead and take a closer look.

Those cupcakes at the bottom of the display window are actually a ribbon that I got from Celeste. (she was your 4th stop on the hop over at Touched by a Butterfly) Thanks Celeste!
On the shelf above is a cake and some snow cones. What looks like sugary goodness is actually cotton balls sprayed with alcohol inks. ( I mix rubbing alcohol with several drops or re-inker in a medicine bottle)

If you  get on your tip toes and really press your nose to the glass ( or crafting plastic in this case), you'll see even more goodies.

The best thing is that these sweet treats are "FAT FREE" :)

Here is an other shot of the little canisters in back.

And of course, I just HAD to put some paper flowers on my project.

I should mention that the beautiful label on the door is not one of my files.

I got that from Paulo over at MTC SCAL E-files

Well I hope you like it as much as I do.
