Whoa, Jami, what a fabulous place this was to visit. Visit was all I could do given the price tag for personalized door-to-door cake delivery! Plus, after paying more than $1000 for a cake, I'd have to e almost dead before I could even think about eating one. It would have to be my ‘good bye’ gift to myself
Although the gallery was chocked full of gorgeous cakes, I couldnÂ’t quite figure out to what to do with any of those fairly modernistic photos .
I really tried to think outside my comfort level today by going with pink, mint and blue. Yikes, 3 colors you've never seen in my gallery, and colors you're not likely see again.
Here's where my inspiration came from: Page ~ recent cakes entitled "Down the Rabbit Hole".
Thanks for looking!

Wow, Anne! Inside the box, outside the box, on top the box, around the box-----wherever you go with your card making they always turn out wonderfully! Love the stripey, stitchy, satiny richness of this one!
p.s. I too, can only dream of eating cake. What a shame!

I'm so glad you stepped out of your comfort zone, these are so pretty together, soft, and yet have a vibrancy that catches your attention Anne!! I'd say you aced the challenge, and even more have a beautiful card to show for it. And your faux stitching looks like the real thing, something I can never manage to do!! Happy New Year Anne!!!
