My daughter decided she wanted a Strawberry Shortcake theme for her party. "No problem," I thought, "I can handle that."

Then she started getting specific. She wanted me to put Strawberry Shortcake, Apple Dumplin, Pupcake, and Custard on the cake. Hmm . . . maybe I could find something in the toy department that would work? It could be a combination cake decoration and birthday gift.

Wouldn't you know it, Strawberry Shortcake is now COMPLETELY out of style! The only thing I could find was a bottle of bubble soap with a soft rubber Strawberry Shortcake on top.

It was time to get creative. I pulled out my lapboking supplies, turned on the computer, and went to work. A quick Google search turned up some really cute Strawberry Shortcake clipart.  I saved the ones I needed and printed them onto cardstock. My older daughter cut them out, I laminated them, and then she cut them out again. We then taped a length of drinking straw to the back of each so they would stand up on the cake.  My daughter was very pleased and it was a LOT easier than trying to do everything with frosting. 

I also printed some additional clipart onto a full sheet label. We used some of these "stickers" to decorate some pink party napkins, and my older daughter cut the rest out to give her sister as a birthday present.

What would I do without my printer?
