My Daughters 18th Birthday

Welcome to AGK Creations.

Today is my daughters 18th birthday.  I can't believe how fast time flies.  Since she already had plans to make mini cupcakes for her birthday, I decided to make her a paper cake using the Cake Box from the "Tie the Knot" Cricut cartridge.  In each of the cake slices I included a surprise, which she really enjoyed.  I found my inspiration for this project after viewing a You Tube video by Julie at Ready Set Stamp, she has amazing ideas.
