Hi Everyone! I wanted to share a card I made for our friends that lost their father. I used the soon to retire Wasabi and Guava along with Chocolate Chip. The main image was covered with Versa Mark and embossed with Iridescent Ice. The paper was from the Occasions mini, Afternoon Tea. I really like these colors and will be sad to see them go. The set used is Close As A Memory. I don't own it, but after the past week, it is definitely on my "too be ordered" list!

Along with the card, I will be taking over a Texas Sheet Cake. I have made this cake a hundred times, but for some reason, all I had were problems with it last night. Hopefully it will taste good. (Fingers are crossed) For those who don't have this recipe, I thought I would share it.
