Quickie Cupcakes!

Hello, and Happy Thursday! Today's card is one I made for yesterday's Sketch Challenge at SCS, as well as the MFT What's Up Wednesday challenge to do paper piecing. Joanne shared a great tutorial on using a Quickie Glue Pen for paper piecing -- she also used it for heat embossing! I use my Quickie all the time for my paper piecing, but I NEVER thought to use it when I heat emboss. I did it here, though -- I drew with the glue pen along the frosting lines, applied Iridescent Ice embossing powder to the glue, and zapped it with my heat tool! It's difficult to see in the photo, but it's there (click on it if you want a better view)!! It opens up a lot of possibilities, especially when I want to emboss on a small area! Thanks, Joanne! :)

The rest of the card is pretty straightforward -- I colored the frosting with Copics, paper pieced the paper liners, and did some Cuttlebug embossing. I used some Glitter Dots for the cherries. This Summer Picnic paper is just so much fun -- it totally made the card! :)

That's all for today! Thanks so much for visiting -- I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day! :)

A Christmas Card Showcase!

Today's ATS Wednesday Challenge is a Christmas Card Showcase! The challenge is to create Christmas cards that are simple and can be easily mass produced, so that we can get some great ideas for our Christmas cards!

Do you want to see something cute and fun? As part of Monday's ATS stamp release, Christine also created a set of angels that are digi downloads! The set is called Angels Everywhere, and you can see them HERE. For $4, you will be sent zip files containing all the images. You can open them in your program of choice, resize to your liking, and print! I used the file which has all the angels on one page -- I just used my Circle Nestabilities to cut out the ones I wanted to use!

I used the same sketch on all my cards. I also kept the same color palette (Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Riding Hood Red) and used the same patterned paper collection (Figgy, of course!). Doing those things made the process so much quicker -- not too much thinking required! ;) I colored with Prismacolor Pencils blended with Turpenoid, and I added Stardust Stickles to the wings and halos. The three sentiments are from Christmas Sentiments by AmyR Stamps. I punched them out with a SU! Word Window punch and added rhinestones to the ends.

If you'd like to take part in our Christmas Card Showcase, upload to the ATS Wednesday Challenge Gallery with keyword ATSDTC26. You can also check out the ATS Blog later on today to see what the Design Team created!

One more thing before I go... the newest ATS Design Team members have been announced on the ATS Blog -- go HERE to see! Congrats to all these talented ladies -- I'm looking forward to working with them in 2009! :)

Thanks for visiting today -- I am always glad when you stop by! Have a wonderful day! :)

Who's That E-Girl?

Happy Tuesday to you! It's a good thing I cleaned off my stamping table, because my order from My Favorite Things arrived yesterday! I could not wait to ink up Who's That E-Girl?!!

I had so much fun making this card! I colored the girl with Copics and paper pieced the sofa with Offbeat paper. I used circle punches and brads to make tabs on the side. I created texture on the white cardstock with my Cuttlebug and Spots & Dots embossing folder.

I have so many new, uninked stamps to play with -- my goal for this week is to show them a little love! It will be so much easier to do that on my CLEAN work space! :)

Thanks so much for the visit today -- have a fantastic day!!

Release Day Today!

Happy Monday! After the flurry of previews last week, my stamping table is a MESS. I spent the better part of last night cleaning and purging, and I still have more to do! So, I don't have anything to share with you today -- but my clean space should inspire me to create something to share tomorrow! ;)

Don't forget about the new releases at All That Scraps tonight at 10:00 pm ET -- meet us at the Message Board from 8-10 for a little party before the release! Hope to see you there!

Have a fantastic day -- thanks so much for stopping by! :)

A Trip to the North Pole and Sunday Supper

Are you on the nice list or the naughty list? This elf knows the answer! He's from the new C.C. Designs set Sugarplum North Pole. Isn't he so cute? Christine has outdone herself with this set! There's Santa, a reindeer, a rocking horse, and another elf riding on a reindeer -- they're just too cute! When I saw this little guy with his hand out, I immediately thought he should be holding THE list. :)

I colored with Copics, drew in the ground line, and sponged the edges with Baja Breeze ink. To make the list, I cut a strip of paper, wrote the "names", sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa ink, and rolled the edges.

This was fun to make! Head over to the ATS Blog to see some more fun samples with this set, and find out how you can win it! All of the new sets will be available tomorrow (Monday) night at 10:00 pm EST at All That Scraps. Join us at the Message Board for a little chatting before the release! :)

Trim the Tree!

Hello, and Happy Saturday! The Glam Girls are back -- in the new C.C. Designs set Glam Girls III. There is a birthday girl, a rock star girl, and this tree-trimming girl! The layout is one of Julee Tilman's sketches from the Verve Holiday Release Sketch Blitz. I colored with Copics and did some faux stitching down the sides of the image panel. And what's a Glam Girl without a little bling? I added a few Snowflake Gemstones for some holiday sparkle!

I colored her sunglasses with a Stardust pen, and I covered the ornament with a Clear Glaze pen. I thought the Offbeat paper looked like ornaments, and the colors are great too! It's a fun and funky card, don't you think? ;)

I'm Nuts about Forest Friends!

Hello there! Happy Friday to you! Today's preview is of Forest Friends, another new set by Jen Ofiana's Stampin' Spot Studio. The stamps include a deer, raccoon, skunk, bird, and some great sentiments, too -- but the image I wanted to work with right away was this adorable squirrel! The idea popped into my head to make an acetate treat box full of nuts! The directions for the box can be found at Splitcoaststampers HERE. I made my box 5.5" tall.

I colored the squirrel with Copics and sponged around the edge of the circle with More Mustard ink. The circles were cut with Nestabilities. Just click on the photo if you want a better view!

Here's a closeup of the lid and tag. I embossed the top panel with the Floral Screen embossing folder before I assembled the lid. Isn't this sentiment just perfect? It could be great for Valentine's day, too!

Stop by the ATS Blog to see more samples with this adorable set, and find out how you can win it! Our week of previews is nearing an end -- only two more sets left to show you! I hope you like what you've seen so far! All the sets will be available at All That Scraps Monday, November 10 at 10:00 pm EST.

A Delicious Day!

Happy Thursday! Today's preview is of the set Cupcake Occasions by Cookie Crumbs, illustrated by Diane Zechman. Cupcakes are all the rage right now, and this set is full of adorable cupcake toppers for any occasion or season! Seriously, they are SO cute! I used this week's SCS Sketch Challenge 201 for my layout.

I wanted to play with all the images in the set, but I needed a birthday card for my niece, so I used this fun swirly frosting image for my cupcake top. First I stamped the candles, frosting and bottom on the cardstock. Then I stamped the frosting and bottom again on the patterned paper and cut them out. I colored the candles with Copics and sponged a "glow" around them with SU! YoYo Yellow ink. Then I attached the cut out pieces, mounting the frosting on dimensionals. I added some Stickles to the candle flames for a little sparkle.

Perhaps the best part of this card is the way it SMELLS! I brushed Cupcake Card Scents on the cupcake image, and it smells like it just came out of the oven! YUM! :)

Go to the ATS Blog to see some other samples of this set and to see how you can win it! I'll have another set to show you tomorrow -- it's definitely a busy preview week! Thanks for stopping by today -- have a wonderful day! :)

Wednesday Challenge and Another Preview!

Happy Wednesday! Today's ATS Challenge is a sketch by Amy Rysavy. It's a simple sketch that has lots of possibilities!

The sketch was perfect for this image from the new C.C. Designs set Christmas Around the World. I just love Monkey surrounded by the ornaments! There is another image of a bird on a branch with ornaments. The sentiments say "Merry Christmas" is several languages!

I colored Monkey with Copics, then I added Stickles to his hat and Crystal Effects to the ornaments. I used my Nestabilities to cut the circles. The background was Cuttlebugged with the Snowflakes folder.

Stop by the ATS Blog to see what the Design Team did with this set -- you can also find out how to win it! :) If you want to participate in the challenge, use keyword ATSDTC25 when uploading.

November Previews!

Hi there! Are you ready to see some new stamps?!? On Monday, November 10, there will be several new sets released by C.C. Designs, Stampin' Spot Studio, and Cookie Crumbs! Today is the first of six days of previews -- you're gonna love 'em! :)

Today I'm previewing Soccer Brandon and Soccer Sadie by Stampin' Spot Studio. For my first project -- hold on to your hats -- I did a scrapbook page! This is an 8"x8" page of Kyle playing soccer. The stamps from Soccer Brandon were just perfect for it! I used the numbers from the set to put Kyle's number on the jersey, and I stamped the word "goal" in the flag. I colored the image with Copics and sponged around the edge with SU! Old Olive ink. The paper and star die cuts are from the Recess 12x12 Collection Pack by BasicGrey. I covered the chipboard arrow with ink and added a trio of SU! Not Quite Navy brads.

I used Soccer Sadie to make a thank-you card for Anna's soccer coach. Her team wore red jerseys -- can you tell? ;) I used "Thanks" from Sugarplum Sentiment Set by C.C. Designs. I colored with Copics and added highlights with an Inkssentials Pigment Pen. The paper is Ski Slope, and the ribbon is Real Red striped grosgrain, both by SU!.

Be sure to stop by the ATS Blog all week long for more DT samples and chances to win the new sets! I'll have more to show you tomorrow, so I hope you'll be back! Thanks so much for visiting today -- have a fantastic day! :)

Sunday Supper: A Tasty Side Dish!

Happy Sunday, everyone! For today's Sunday Supper recipe, I have a vegetable side dish to share with you. After all, what's a good supper without a good side dish, right? This recipe came from my mother-in-law. She has served it many times at Fischer family meals, and it's always a hit! I was never a big fan of asparagus before I was married, but my husband has always loved it. This recipe has made a convert out of me! I hope you like it, too! :)

Roasted Asparagus
6 servings

2 lbs. fresh asparagus (as thick as your finger)
1/2 c. butter, melted
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. lemon pepper
Pam (or other non-stick spray)

Spray 7"x12" baking dish with Pam. Place asparagus in dish. Top with combined butter and onions. Sprinkle with salt and lemon pepper. Bake, covered, at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Cover with parmesan cheese. Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.


Do you have any quick and easy recipes you'd like to share? Just email me or comment on this post. With the holidays approaching, we need all the time-saving recipes we can find!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic day! Enjoy the beautiful autumn weather, and be sure to make some time together at the supper table! :)

ETA: Please keep Laurie Schmidlin (Lauraly) and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Her daughter is having tests done in the hospital, and they need lots of love! See this post at SCS for more information.

The Day After

Happy Saturday, happy day after Halloween, and happy November 1st! Can you believe it's November already? It's the busy season for us papercrafters, so I'm really excited to get started on some holiday projects!

We're all in a candy coma today at our house, so I don't have a card to share, but I wanted to show you a photo of my girls from last night. Megan and her friends (high school freshmen) were "neon girls" -- she did a great job putting her costume together herself, and she even painted the jacket with neon fabric paint! Anna was Junie B. Jones, her favorite book character. Caroline was a mummy -- and she was the cutest little mummy I'd ever seen! :) Kyle and his friends (high school sophomores) went to a party in a friend's neighborhood, and he didn't dress up. It's strange to not have them all trick-or-treating in our neighborhood anymore!

Before I go, I wanted to share an award I received from my design teammate, Julie Buhler. If you haven't been to Julie's blog, Paper Pleasing Ideas, you must go! She always has great ideas! Thanks for the award, Julie!

It's going to be a beautiful autumn day here today -- sunny and temps near 70! Chris is away for a couple days, so I'm hoping to get some good stamping done while the kids are playing! I'll be finishing my November C.C. Designs previews -- I'll have the first one for you November 4th! :)

Have a great day, everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Here are the treat bags I made for Caroline's preschool class. I used all SU! supplies, and they were pretty quick and easy to make! I kept them simple, since they ARE for four-year-olds, you know? :) I stapled the toppers in the middle and covered the staples with the scalloped circles.

I think they make a fun arrangement all together in this basket! These will go in the children's bags to take home today, so hopefully they can enjoy looking at them a little while before they tear them open! LOL

I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween night! Thanks so much for visiting today -- have a fantastic day and evening! :)

Stamps: Batty for You Ink: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie Cardstock: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White Paper: Ghostly Greetings dsp Other: medium cello bags, 1 3/8" circle punch, scallop circle punch, stapler

One Card, Two MFT Challenges!

Happy Thursday to you! One more day 'til Halloween -- and I still have much to do! I took a break from making my Halloween treats so I could play in a couple of MFT Challenges over at SCS. This card is for the MFT Sketch Challenge #54 and the What's Up Wednesday Challenge #3. The What's Up Wednesday Challenge is to use embossing and to use one of the Annie LaPoint stamps if possible. well, I LOVE the Annie LaPoint images, so I was happy to play along! My embossing is dry embossing using my Cuttlebug and Birds and Swirls folder.

Here's a closeup of the coloring. I stamped in SU! Basic Brown and colored with Copics. I added a very subtle shadow around the image with Warm Gray No. 1. It gives the image just a little more dimension. I sponged around the edge of the image panel with More Mustard ink.

Here are the Copic Ciao markers I used ...

That's it for me today! I have to finish Caroline's class treats -- I'll share them with you tomorrow! Thanks so much for stopping by -- have a great day! :)

Stamps: Rosemary by Annie LaPoint (MFT Presents) Ink: Basic Brown, More Mustard (SU!) Cardstock: Really Rust, Sage Shadow, Whisper White (SU!) Paper: Autumn Vine dsp (SU!) Other: Ciao markers (Copic); Cuttlebug, Birds and Swirls embossing folder (Provo Craft); Circle Cutter (Fiskars); Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon, More Mustard brads, stamping sponge, stampin' dimensionals (SU!)

ATS Challenge: Mini Pizza Box

Happy Wednesday! Today's ATS Challenge is to make a Mini Pizza Box. This was a Technique Challenge at SCS a few weeks ago, and I didn't get a chance to do it then, so I'm glad Jen chose it for our challenge this week! The instructions from Jen del Muro can be found on the SCS Challenge thread HERE.

I kept this simple but fun. I let this great Hallowhimsy paper do most of the work for me! I just added a tag made with images from Spooky Spooky Spooky by C.C. Designs.

The greeting is on the inside of the box. I used an image and sentiment from Sugarplum Halloween. I filled the box with chocolate squares -- it's a Halloween treat for Caroline's preschool teacher! :)

Play along with us! Use keyword ATSDTC24 when uploading to a gallery. All the challenge projects can be found in the Wednesday Challenge Gallery at All That Scraps. Check out the ATS Blog later today to see more challenge projects from the Design Team!

Paper: Hallowhimsy (Imaginisce) Other: Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain, black hemp twine, 1 3/8" circle punch, scallop circle punch, paper piercer, mat pack (SU!); googly eyes

Definitely a Color Challenge!

Has anyone seen my mojo??? I can't seem to find it anywhere! I don't know if it's the change in the weather or just a creative block, but I'm having a hard time getting my creative juices flowing! I thought I'd check out the SCS Color Challenge in hopes of jump starting things, but that didn't exactly happen! These colors are so not "me" -- but I was determined to make it work!!!

I used Pumpkin Pie instead of Tangerine Tango, and that let me use some of my Sweet Always paper. I used my Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder on the background. I cut out the flowers, folded up the edges a little, and inserted Old Olive brads through the middle. I inked up the sentiment in Kiwi Kiss, then I wiped off the small flower and the dots. Then I used my Pumpkin Pie and Pixie Pink markers on those parts before stamping.

I'm still not sure about it, but I am glad I accepted the challenge! Tomorrow is the ATS Wednesday Challenge, so I'll have more to share with you then! Thanks so much for stopping by today -- have a fantastic day! :)

Another AmyR Preview... and Sunday Supper!

Hello! Happy Sunday to you! Before I share the Sunday Supper recipe, I have another preview with AmyR's new sets -- they'll be released tomorrow (Monday) at All That Scraps! I used all three of her sets on this card. I made the tree with shapes from Build a Holiday, and "Joy" is from Christmas Sentiments. The inside verse is from Christmas Card Verses. Both of the sentiment sets are must-haves -- they say everything I want to say on my Christmas cards!

I made the tree on the front by stamping all three triangle shapes from Build a Holiday on Figgy paper then cutting them out and stacking them. The trunk is made with the small rectangle from the set. I did some piercing and sponging, and I added ribbon, snowflakes and rhinestones.

Here's the inside of the card, with a verse from Christmas Card Verses.

Be sure to go to the ATS Blog to see more previews and to find out how you can win the sets! :)

Now, for the Sunday Supper recipe...

Pork Chop Casserole

4 to 6 pork chops
1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 c. uncooked Minute Rice
2 c. milk
1 pkg. onion soup mix

Brown pork chops. Mix remaining ingredients in baking dish. Top with pork chops. Cover. Bake 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours at 325 degrees F.

That's all for me today! Thanks so much for visiting! Enjoy your Sunday! :)

In the meadow we can build a snowman...

Hello, everyone! I'm so glad to be sharing something with you again! On Monday, October 27, AmyR Stamps is releasing three new sets -- and here's a preview! This card was created with Build a Holiday, and the sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments. I have to tell you, Build a Holiday is such a great set! There are shapes and images for creating snowmen, ornaments, Christmas trees, packages, lights -- wherever your imagination takes you! The images are great for coloring or paper piecing, and here I did a lot of paper piecing! :)

I feel like I actually built a snowman! I stamped all the images onto patterned paper (BasicGrey Figgy), and I put them all together. The face, buttons, and twig arms were stamped onto the paper also. I colored his nose with a Copic marker. I mounted the hat and scarf on dimensionals, and I added some Stickles for a little snowy sparkle.

This set is so much fun! If you stop by the ATS Blog, you'll see more fantastic samples and find out how you can win the set! We'll have more to show you all weekend, so be sure to visit my ATS Design Teammates (on my sidebar) to see what they've done with Amy's sets!

Well, I'm off for a day at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, KY. It's the 10th Anniversary of my husband's company, and we're celebrating with everyone from his office! We're heading down on a bus and staying all day! I think I might be a little tired tomorrow morning... ;)

Have a great day, everyone -- thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm still here...

Hi, everyone! Sorry I haven't had anything to share the last two days! My friend Traci has a hairbow business, so a few times a year I do some sewing and embroidering for her. She has an open house tonight, so I had to put the stamping on the backburner for a few days! Geez, I hate when that happens! ;)

I'll be back tomorrow with a preview of new AmyR Stamps -- you are going to love them! They'll be must-haves for your Christmas cards and projects! Thanks so much for checking in with me -- have a great day!! :)
