Guest Post: Pamela Gallegos from Pom Graphic Design and her amazing iPhone cases

As time goes on, and as I get closer into finishing nursing school, I have become really passionate about women who work (very hard) on their own to reach their business, fitness, and/or career goals. I am amazed about entrepreneur women and I get excited every time I get to meet someone like that. 

I have asked Pamela Gallegos from Pom Graphic Designs to share her passion for fine arts with us and the AMAZING products she designs!

She has the passion, and that is when her magic happens...take a look...

Easter Party Edible Table - Easter Birthday Party Theme

4 years ago I had the idea to make do an Easter birthday theme party for both of my girls. Their birthdays are in April and they are only 1 year and 11 days apart, so having 2 birthday parties is not the best idea (not while they are little anyway). 

Fondant Style Diaper Cake Tutorial DIY

I am very excited to show you this tutorial! I just love how simple but yet very chic and sophisticated this diaper cakes can be. The sky is the limit when it comes to decorating them. Don't go shy to mix different patterns and colors, just experiment! You'll be surprised how good polka dots or stripes can go together :)

 

Here are the ingredients:

40 Size 1 diapers (1 Pack)
20 diapers for the bottom layer, 13 for the middle layer and  7 for the top layer

(I use Pampers Swaddlers because the new baby deserves the best!)

3 round cake pans: 10", 8", & 6" and NO you are not going to bake lol

Sweetaprils in Woman's World Magazine!

I am very excited to show you that I was featured in Woman's World Magazine!

Here to show you are my 2 biggest fans! and thanks to my hubby for being my biggest supporter too :)

Stacie, a wonderful editor from Woman's World Magazine contacted me back in January asking if she could featured me in their magazine. Since January she has been truly amazing with the whole process of creating this article. She always kept me informed and even though it took 5 months I always knew what was going on. It has been an amazing experience and loving every minute of it :) Stacie if you are reading this thank you so much for your amazing work! and for giving me this amazing opportunity!!!

On my Facebook page I was happy to announce that I had also made it to the cover, but what I meant to say was that a picture of the diaper motorcycle cake made it to the cover LOL not me. So just to clarify that  beautiful model on the cover is not me :)

I am very happy and very thankful for the wonderful response I am getting from the motorcycle diaper cake tutorial. And like I said before, over a year ago I was very disappointed that I wasn't able to find a tutorial on how to make a motorcycle diaper cake for my sister in law's baby shower, so I created one myself! That is how all of these started!

So go get a copy of  the May 21st issue of Woman's World Magazine that is actually on newsstands NOW! and become a fan of their Facebook page here!

Also I would like to give credit to Christopher Amrhein from Moxie Photography for the picture of me shown on the article. You can become a fan of their facebook page here!

I also would like to thank my family for their support and for ALWAYS believing in me! 

Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

Motorcycle Diaper Cake Tutorial {DIY-How to Make a Diaper Motorcycle}

The first motorcycle diaper cake tutorial in history!

Step by step detailed instructions on how to make this super sweet gift.

Try it out!

I finally decided to share a tutorial on how to make this beautiful diaper motorcycle (Diaper cake). I hope you enjoy it! This would be the greatest baby shower gift ever! I promise you that :) Email me if you have any questions!

**This tutorial is for personal use only. Make as many as you want for yourself or to give as a gift. Instructions and pictures are not to be copied or duplicated. You can place my link on your blog/website if you would like to share this tutorial. Thank you! {wink}**

Materials: 34 diapers Pampers Swaddlers Size 1 (17 for each tire), 8" cake pan, 2 rubber bands, 2 receiving blankets (30x30 approx), 2 bibs, 1 chain link toy, a pair of socks or mittens, a baby bottle, 1 washcloth, scissors, pins, a stuffed animal (size approx between 15" and up to 20"), and decorative ribbon.

Make sure the gab between each diaper is even. See above picture #5? They are not even.

Pic #6: With one hand on top of the diaper, use the other hand to start pulling each diaper to the right until they all are even. Pic #7 is looking better...but pic #8 is perfect!

For pic #13: wrap each tire with ribbon of your choice. Place a pink to secure ribbon. The pin will at be the bottom of the tire. Do the same for the other tire. PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE FOLLOWING PICTURES DON'T HAVE THE RIBBON AROUND THE TIRES BECAUSE I FORGOT!!! I WAS TOO EXCITED! But make sure the ribbon is around the tires for the rest of the instructions. :)

Pic #14: Fold first receiving blanket in half...and roll it up like in pic #15 

Pic #16: If you want you can secure the end of the rolled up blanket with a pin just until you place the blanket through the tire opening.  

Picture #20: PLEASE note that we are working on the BACK tire.

For pic #24: Pull both ends of the blanket (following the arrows) to make sure the 2 tires are tight and the blanket too. Not too tight but firm. This will hold your entire motorcycle! Remember we are still working on the back tire.

For pic #25 place a pin in the inside of the tire opening securing the 2 blankets against the diapers. Make sure the pin is all the way in! then tuck in the remaining of the 2 ends of the blanket in the opining of the tire. You can see the finished back tire on Pic# 29.

Pic #26 shows the front tire first.

We are going to work on the handle now...Pic #28: roll up the second blanket...

Pic #29: Place the rolled up blanket through the opening of the FRONT tire.

Pic #35: If you would like you can roll up the wash cloth around the baby bottle.

To make the handle bars more stable follow instructions on pic #37 and #38

Pic #39: Put tissue paper inside the sock or mittens...it just looks better!

Pic #42: Place the other bib on top of the back tire.
