Life is Sweet - Berry71Bleu September Challenge - Things I Love

Hello Everyone

Happy Friday!!!! Yay...always a good day to start the weekend off and get one into that time-off mode.

I have a page up on the Berry71Bleu Blog here today.  This month's challenge is about "Things I Love"....

So firstly I created a board of a few of the things I love.


One of these is cake....LOL...so my page is about that!:-)


I used one of Marivic's gorgeous tags for this page.  I did put my title over it, but did think it was just perfect, as one can still see that chocolate ganache cake behind the title along with the rest of the tag goodies.


Here's a closer look at the tag.


I used one of my favourite stencils and did some gesso and watercolouring.


The journalling is very "tongue in cheek" and just a little bit of a giggle.
"Admittedly, I have a bit of a sweet tooth and I really do love a decadent cake or pudding.  When one can treat oneself, with a little something sweet, why absolutely not?! My thoughts are that life can be bitter enough and that a little treat can sweeten any day! Marie Antoinette was a woman after my own heart! ;-)

I used the vintage Chic Collection from Heidi Swapp.  It's still a firm favourite!

I hope this added some sweetness to your day!
Have a sweet one...whatever you are doing!

  4. Oh I love cake too.... not before but since I went through menopause I have become the cake and chocolate monster and I suppose that accounts for why I keep putting on weight :P. I love that stencil what or whose is it. I think I need it if I don't have it already :D Love the colours and just a stunning design.

  7. I really thought I had left some blog lovin' for this - but apparently not! A scrumptious page - rich and elaborate like the sweet morsels on the plates. Like Val, post menopause, I long to wrap my laughing gear around things like this, but sadly the results around the bottom are not a pretty sight!! Gorgeous work :D
