August 9th is Singapore's National Day, on Sunday, we went to my friend's house to celebrate Singapore's birthday, I baked a vanilla sponge cake for the party...
it was hard to get my whipped cream frosting to the red like in our National Flag, no matter how much food coloring I put in (I usually don't like to use that much artificial coloring), I am still getting pink instead of red, oh how stupid I am, the cream is white, it will never get to this red that I want, so I had to get my husband to the store at 11 PM to get my 2 cans of cherries, that is the exact red I need!

This week at City Crafter Challenge Blog, the theme is BOOKS!
Check out challenge details HERE!
I still love this old stamp set from Papertrey Ink called All Booked Up, and the background stamp is also from PTI, the wreath die I believe is Reversed Confetti, sometimes you have so many things you don't remember where are they from, does that happened to you, or you are super organized and remember all your stuff?
Come join in the fun at City Crafter Challenge Blog
I am still putting new items on my Crafty Stuff for Sale Page, do check it out!
