Choco-Scotch Crunchies Recipe

Good Morning!
Have you all checked out HSN today. They got specials going on all day in honor of National Crafting Month. Oh I was just watching and I'm so interest in the Silhouette Cameo and I see me taking the plunge here sometime today for it with those flex payments they have. Okay do enough drooling for me this is what I have for you today:

This is from my Recipe collection of swaps I have done with a local group I'm with. This is from April 2011 and the theme was candy. I'm thinking the recipe came from the 1972 State Grange Book (this is my go to book for trying something new), and I wanted to try something new.

The title lettering I did on my Gypsy so I could weld it together, the Choco-Scotch was done with Birthday Bash and Crunchies is from Plantin SchoolBook. The candy was cut from Doodlecharms from page 63 with the charm feature. Looks like I used brown stickles for embellishing the recipe card and dotting the i. I also outline the letters with black marker to give separation from the page.

This was a fun project to do and very enjoyable, the candy didn't turn out to bad neither.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing the view from my little corner of the world.

You Shine

Hi all and welcome to my blog. Also, welcome to you all that have come over from Card A Day Blog. Red, White and Blue theme this week and when I think of that theme I usually first think of our men and women in service.

 This card came about from a sketch I saw at Sketch N Stash #65 and used it for the basis of this card. Everything about this card is easy! Just about all the cuts are sqaures or cut from a square. The red squares came from a 1" punch, the holographic red triangles came from the same punch just cut on the diagonal (paper came from Jo-Anns), and the vellum and the background piece were cut to a specific size square. The ribbon added some texture to the card but stayed right with the theme of the card. The only piece that was cut by machine was the Star and that came from Doodlecharms cartridge and 1.5". The stamp is from a Close to My Heart collection. Red, White and Blue ribbon I used for the border came from Jo-Anns.


These particular people shine each and everyday! So don't forget to Thank them for their service when have the chance.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy Labor Day-2011

Hi you all,

Happy Labor Day to all of you. Mine will be celebrated with family, but one of our sons can't be with us because of his tour in Afghanistan. I would like to wish a great day to all the working people on the holidays such as this: The police dept., fire dept., the hospital and health service workers and of course all our men and women in uniform that can't be with their family's today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do to make our lives better.

Easter Swap Completed

I finished up my Easter Swap cards last night for Paper Crafting with My Cricut. Laid out the card design on my Gypsy on Sunday and cut out all the material Sunday afternoon. I put them together last night. I've got a mingle to do before the weekend and another swap to prepare for and get done up before the end of the month. Plus I have my monthly recipe swap to plan out and do for the last weekend of the month. Maybe fit some scrappin in before the end of the month, it's been busy but alot of fun. So here is the card I did for the swap all cuts were done on the cricut even the card base:

I used Doodlecharms for the basket & eggs. Lucy Labels for the card based (enlarged). Platin School was used for rickrack border and lettering on front of card. Wildcard was used for the inside phrase. Cardstock, paper, stickles and glue.
