Ready Set Bake! Welcome to the Baking Blog Hop.

Welcome to the  Baking Blog Hop!


Welcome to  BugBites  and the Jessica's Baking Blog Hop! tonight the designers in the Baking Blog Hop have baked up some great projects that all include baking!
I am so excited to be apart of this Baking Blog Hop. I love to bake so this was a perfect fit for me! 


If you have come from Wendy's blog, you are on the right place.
If you happen to stumble upon my blog and would like to play along, please start at Jessica's blog over at bakingupcrafts.com.


So her is what I have baked up for you tonight-it's a second dose of Food Fare Friday for you all.

This is a very easy and delicious recipe that can be made with any variety of fruit.
But, because rhubarb is in season now in MN, I thought I would share it with you.

 This recipe page layout is 8"x8".
The sign was cut with my cricut using the Freshly Picked cartridge and stamped using the Country Living Pink by Design stamp set. The berries cut from the Preserve cartridges with a few sticker berries thrown in. 

I also love this paper from Imaginisce.

Pink Cricut Guest Designer Project ~ Bon Appetite!

Today I am a Guest Designer over at Pink Cricut. On January 25th, Sarah announced her new Pink by Design Team and I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of them. You can click here to see all the new members. It is a privilege to be among this group of talented crafters.

As many of you know, I love to cook and try new recipes. With that said, I also like to scrap my favorite recipes. I scrap them all as 8x8 page layouts and keep them in albums with page protectors so when I cook, the pages stay nice and clean.

My guest designer project today is an 8x8 layout of one of my son's favorite dishes and what we usually have on Christmas mornings. I can't believe I haven't scrapped it until now. I came across this pretty french blue and yellow patterned papers and they seemed just fitting for this layout. I used 5, yes 5 different Cricut carts on this layout!

If you cannot read the recipe, drop me a note and I will be glad to send it to you.  

Please come back and leave a comment if you try the recipe. I would love to hear how you liked it.
