Tea Light Cake




Yes, today is my birthday! And I wanted to show you a cute little cake made with a tea light. The basic instructions are from SplitCoastStampers and I used Elegant Edges for the scallop circles and Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art for the scallop border. The roses were made from scallop circles from Elegant Edges and then rolled with a quilling tool. Now, for the Make a Wish part. . .


One lucky follower of my blog, who leaves a comment on this post, will get to choose any cart they want from the Cricut Rewards Program and I will use my reward points to get the cart for them! That's right. . .any cart that is available on Cricut Rewards could be yours if you win this blog candy! I'll use random.org to choose a winner next Saturday, 8/20. So, follow my blog {if you aren't already} and leave a comment on this post and you might be the person making a wish! What cart do you think you would want?
