A beautiful vanilla, raspberry and white chocolate easter cake

Hi everybody!

One of my favorite annual traditions is that which involves to godfathers buying a typical Easter cake to his niece; this cake is called Mona and usually is topped by chocolate eggs.

Besides the cake and chocolate eggs, usually it come with beautiful trimmings and some toy figure. Is not that wonderful?

If we are among the most daring that we like to handmade it , we can also decorate with die cut paper elements

here some details of my proposal for this year, hoping that the person that is going to receive it as a gift is not seeing this blogpost at this moment (fingers crossed!)

Happy easter again and be happy!

Una de mis tradiciones anuales favoritas es la que hace que los padrinos compren un típico pastel de Pascua a su sobrina; este pastel se llama Mona y por lo general está coronada por huevos de chocolate.

Además de la tarta y los huevos de chocolate, por lo general viene con hermosos adornos y alguna figura de juguete. ¿No es eso maravilloso?

Si estamos entre los más atrevidos que nos gusta lo hecho a mano, también lo podemos decorar con elementos de papel troquelados

Podéis ver algunos detalles de mi propuesta para este año, con la esperanza de que la persona que lo va a recibir como regalo no está viendo este blogpost en este momento (crucemos los dedos!

Notepad Cover mini album.

Hi again!
Today I've had a play with one of my new Bigz dies and a couple of thinlits as well. Today's main event is the Notepad Cover by Brenda Walton. Originally it's meant to use to spruce up your ordinary post-it notes, but I decided I wanted to use it to make a small album.

Here are some pictures I took along the way:

Cut out as many pages as you like for the inside of your mini album. A good size would to fit inside this cover would be ca 7 cm square.

I made small holes in all the pages for the binding and after pulling the thread through I added some glue to the knot to make sure it will hold.

I used the new Scalloped circles for my inside pages. I cut some of my photos with them and also made journalling spots.

I added some Liquid pearl to the outside cover after inking the edges.

After finishing my little 'book' for the  inside I used  some double tape to add it to the back of the cover.

Here are a few more shots of the finished album:

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you back here next Sunday! :-)
