Color Throwdown #362

It’s Color Throwdown day and Vickie is going to get us rolling into Fall (or make us want to binge on CAKE!) with these colors today…

For my card, I definitely leaned toward a Fall-theme and pulled out my some new Confetti Cuts from Reverse Confetti…

I started out by using some orange gingham paper to cut a pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch Confetti Cuts, and added some tendrils and leaves along with a Leafy Confetti Cuts behind the pumpkin.  I layered the pumpkin onto a Thankful Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts.  Using the current Sweet Sunday Sketch #288 for inspiration, I layered the Pretty Panel over a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-Namics that was cut from kraft card stock and stamped with the BG Cheesecloth background stamp from My Favorite Things.  Then I used some Antique Linen distress ink to take some embossing paste from white to off-white, then applied it to my background panel using the Small Brick stencil.  A few enamel dots for embellishment finished my design.

Tickled Pink

I’m getting in just under the wire for the sketch challenge #247 this week from My Favorite Things!  I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to do with the sketch this week, but then when I saw the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge to use an Ombre effect, I got this idea…

On watercolor card stock I stamped the background panel at a slight angle with the BG Simply Circles background using Versamark ink, then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.  Then I used a water brush and some Pink Lemonade, Cotton Candy, and Razzle Berry dye inks from MFT to create the ombre background.  I laid that aside to dry and in the meantime I die cut a frame from Sweet Tooth card stock using the Rectangle Frames Die-Namics.  Also from Sweet Tooth card stock, I cut a Horizontal Stitched Strips Die-Namics, and using Razzle Berry dye ink I stamped the sentiment from the LLD Tickled Pink stamp set.  That cute flamingo is from the LLD Flamingos Die-Namics, and he was cut out using Razzle Berry card stock, and I added a polka dot wing that was cut from the Dots & Stripes Sorbet paper pack.  I assembled the card on a Sweet Tooth card stock base using some foam adhesive behind the frame, and added a Razzle Berry card stock flag at the top right, and some Sparkling Clear Mix sequins to embellish.

I hope that today tickles YOU pink, and I thank you for stopping by!

You Are My Sunshine

I had a whole Friday evening to myself, so of course I spent some time stamping!  One thing I decided to try with the card I made was the new Share Joy Challenge I’d been hearing about!  The objective of the challenge is to create a card to send or give to someone, which I love and have really tried hard to do a lot more of in the last few years!

Now, I have to admit I didn’t check out the challenge very carefully before I got started.  This card just sort of came together, and then when I went to the blog to look up the challenge I realized I was either supposed to make a card based on the sketch, or make a clean and simple card, or both.  Well, clearly I didn’t follow the sketch but do you think this qualifies as clean and simple?  It’s certainly much cleaner and simpler than cards I used to make, anyway!

I started out with my new Grid Background stamp from Simon Says Stamp, stamping with Versamark on watercolor card stock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Over the Grid I did a watercolor wash with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers distress inks.  Once that was dry, I splattered some Ripe Persimmon, Fossilized Amber, and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks on the background.  I cut a brand new Stitched Fishtail Frames from My Favorite Things from Tangy Orange card stock, and added a die-cut sunshine from the Simon Says Pure Sunshine die.  I cut a Fishtail Flags STAX from yellow polka dot paper from the Dots & Stripes Sorbet paper pack, stamped the sentiments from the Pure Sunshine stamp set, and die-cut the “sunshine” to add to it.  I added the Cloud Bank die-cut in the background, and a few enamel dots to complete the card.

The Simon Says Monday Challenge this week is to create a card using stamps (no digis), so I’ll be entering this at that challenge, too!

Another thing they ask with the Share Joy challenge is that you leave a comment saying who you’re giving or sending your card to.  Every now and then when I make a card that I don’t have a specific person in mind to give it to, I’ll post a photo of it on my Facebook page and tell my friends that if someone can use it, to just say the word and it’s theirs.  So that’s my plan with this card, because I don’t have anyone specific in mind to send it to. 

Happy weekend!  Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Color Throwdown #361

Hello friends!  Are you ready for another Color Throwdown challenge?  Today it’s my turn to be the hostess, and with just recently moving my youngest daughter to college, I guess I have dorm room decorating on my mind!  So I found this photo of a dorm room I’m sure any college girl would love to inspire you!

Now, before we get too far you have to know that I am sitting here typing this post, laughing my head off at myself!  Take a close look at my card… do you see the problem?

Don’t see it?  How about now?

LMHO!!!!!!!!!!!  How’s that for a neat trick?  I stuck a straw through a bottle cap!  LOLOL

Oh, well!  Hopefully my daughter will like the card, and not notice that Mom isn’t firing on all cylinders this week?  I made my card using the darling new LLD Soda Pop stamp set from My Favorite Things, along with the matching LLD Soda Pop Bottles Die-Namics.  These were cut from Lemon Drop and Limelight card stocks, with Sweet Tooth card stock labels.  I layered them over a vellum circle that was cut with the Zig Zag Stitched Circle STAX Die-Namics.  I added a polka dot Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX under the sentiment flag from the Dots & Stripes Neutral paper pack, and also used the paper pack for that bionic straw!  The background panel was stamped with the BG Writing Tablet background with Versamark on watercolor card stock, and embossed with white detail embossing powder.  Then I added a wash of Lemon Chiffon, Lemon Drop and Limelight dye inks, and some splatters of Steel Grey dye ink.  After this dried, I die cut with the Blueprints 22 Die-Namics, and layered onto a piece of Black Licorice card stock before adhering to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

My card layout was inspired by the Retro Sketch #182 for this week.

Freezer Meals

(Google images)

Hello friends!  Well, I know this is a stamping blog, and I try very hard not to stray from that because I believe that's what you come here to see!  But today, I'm doing a different post just hoping there might be a few of you out there who will appreciate it!

My oldest daughter and I recently did a day of freezer cooking.  In addition to having a great time together that day, we have the satisfaction now of having 28 MEALS in the freezer!  In addition to the meals, which I'll list below, we also have 10 half-batches of cheesy potatoes and put up 5 dozen ears of corn.  Here is what we did, with links to the recipes...

Individual Meat Loaves (18 loaves) - My Mom never made meat loaf... my Dad wouldn't have touched it with a 10 foot pole.  So my first experiences with making it were after I was married, and I was always pretty disappointed with how it turned out.  It just seemed like no matter how long I baked it, we'd still cut into it to find it greasy and raw in the middle.  So I was elated when I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine years ago, and I've never made meat loaf any other way.  We used 4 1/2 pounds of ground beef and made 18 individual loaves, and laid them out on cookie sheets covered with wax paper.  We stuck the cookie sheets in the freezer just long enough to solidify the meat, then wrapped them separately in wax paper, and have them in large Ziploc freezer bags.  This way we can just remove what we need, thaw and bake.  I should note that we did NOT put the ketchup mixture on top before freezing.  I'll do that when I'm ready to bake.

Gram's Potatoes (10 half-batches) - I got this recipe from one of my very best friends and have made it for years.  For this recipe, we mixed up 5 batches, then scooped half of each batch into large Ziploc freezer bags, and laid them in the freezer flat.  With the half batches, it'll be nicer for nights when it's just two of us eating dinner.  Just thaw in the fridge overnight, or put in the microwave on defrost just until it's thawed enough to dump into a glass baking dish.  Sometimes I brown cracker crumbs or cornflake crumbs and sprinkle on top before baking.  Yum!

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast (three batches) - SO super easy!  We just put the roast into a large Ziploc freezer bag, and added the other ingredients and tossed into the freezer.  And we took one out last week to have for supper, and IT. WAS. OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD!  Incredibly delicious!  We served it with garlic roasted red potatoes, and this recipe for Sautéed Green Beans with Bacon.  (Yes, we had bacon in the side dish with pork roast... don't judge!  LOL)

Sweet & Sour Meatballs (four batches) - I love this recipe... it's so easy and yummy!  For this one, we chopped the veggies and made the sauce, then just combined it all in these quart containers, and put in the freezer.  When we want this meal for dinner, I'll plan ahead and buy a 2 pound bag of frozen meatballs and a 20 ounce can of pineapple.  Just thaw the sauce in the fridge overnight, and dump it all in the crock pot!  Serve over rice or noodles.  (Sometimes I make this with homemade macaroni and cheese!)

Chicken Spaghetti (four batches) - This was a dish that Ree Drummond had on her website under meals that freeze well, so even though we've never tried it before we decided to make it this day.  My daughter got a little of the sauce on her finger and licked it off.  If the taste of that is any indication, we're in for a treat!  We just froze this in 9x13 foil pans.

Baked Ziti (six batches) - This was another recipe I found on Ree's website.  Have never tried it, but we're VERY anxious to put this on the menu some night soon!  The smell of the sauce just about sent us over the edge!  One word of caution... the 9x13 foil "cake" pans I bought were not deep enough for this recipe.  We ended up making six pans of this, but only one layer of ziti in each pan.  Next time, I'll buy "lasagna" pans.

In addition to all of this, I also have two large Ziploc freezer bags with some shredded chuck roast.  I had found a recipe for beef enchiladas that called for chuck roast in the filling.  However, after roasting the meat, it was much more "fatty" than I liked and I couldn't imagine putting this fatty beef into enchiladas.  So we just divided that meat into two bags and into the freezer, and when we need a quick meal we can just add the meat to a pot with some barbeque sauce, and have BBQ Beef sandwiches.  As a result of not making beef enchiladas that day, I instead took some time this past weekend to do...

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas (three batches) - Another recipe we haven't tried, but decided I to make.  This is another one we're anxious to put on the menu some week soon!

We had also planned to make 3 batches of Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole, but we didn't end up with enough chicken after we made the Chicken Spaghetti.  So next weekend, I will probably get some more chicken and whip this dish up, too!

We labeled everything well before it went into the freezer, and have a list on the fridge upstairs of everything that is there so when I'm meal planning I can consult the list and plan accordingly!  I included baking instructions on that list, so my hubby will know what to do if I ask him to throw something in the oven before I get home from work.

If you've ever thought about doing a freezer cooking day, I hope you might find these recipes and a few of my tips helpful!

Fall Floral Birthday

Hi friends!  I have one more card I wanted to share with you, that I’m getting in just under the wire for one more chance of getting recognized as a Card Design Superstar at My Favorite Things. 

Ideas for this card were floating in my head all week, and this turned out nothing like I had originally planned, but I hope it might be good enough to catch some attention!  I used the new Fall Florals stamp set and matching Die-Namics for this (thanks again to my friend Kirsty for loaning me stamps I should have just bought in the first place… and I have remedied that by ordering my own set, but in the meantime I borrowed!)  I stamped the flowers on Smooth White card stock with Lemon Chiffon, Cherry Crisp, Jellybean Green and Chocolate Brown hybrid inks.  I used Cherry Crisp card stock to die-cut a Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX flag, then stamped a sentiment on it from the LJD Pretty Poppies stamp set.  For the background, I tried a new idea.  I took a piece of watercolor card stock and taped the Jumbo Polka Dot stencil over it.  Then I inked up the BG Cheesecloth background stamp with Versamark ink and stamped over the stencil.  I then removed the stencil, applied white detail embossing powder and heat embossed.  Then I used Summer Splash and Blu Raspberry dye inks to watercolor the background over the now-textured polka dots!  I die-cut that panel with the Blueprints 22 Die-Namics and mounted it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base using foam tape.

I applied a few lessons from the MFT Summer School sessions to my card, including using Primary Colors and Asymmetry.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Thank you for visiting me today!

You Make My Day

Hello friends!  Just wanted to share this card I made using the sketch #246 for this week from My Favorite Things.  I’ve had this beautiful BG Roses All Over background stamp for a few months now, and have yet to use it… until today!  I just knew it’d be perfect for this sketch.  I stamped with Versamark on watercolor card stock, then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.  I applied a watercolor wash using Coral Crush, Persimmon and Blu Raspberry dye inks, then die-cut the circle with the Stitched Circle STAX Die-Namics.  The sentiment (from a retired set) was stamped on Steel Grey card stock with Versamark, and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.  I die-cut the sentiment panel with
Blueprints 13, and mounted it with foam adhesive over a little bundle of silver thread.  I embellished with a few Sparkling Clear Mix sequins.  The Sweet Tooth card stock background panel was stamped with the new BG Distressed Stripes background in Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then mounted to a Steel Grey card stock piece, and then to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

Whadya’ think… should I enter this one in the Card Design Superstar contest?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Color Throwdown #360

Monika has a great trio of colors for us for today’s Color Throwdown #360!  I hope you’ll join us!

For my card, I CASE’d this cute design from my Throwdown sister Jodi Collins, and created my own version to send to my daughter at school.  I’m trying to send her a card every week, and this one is especially appropriate because she’s only 2 weeks into her schooling and is already rockin’ out some fantastic grades!  And she’s a purple lover, so I’m hoping she’ll like this card!

The background panel was a piece that I already had laying around and I had stamped the BG Grid background on it with Versarmark and embossed with white detail embossing powder, and then had cut it out with Blueprints 24.  I think I did it one day intending to do a watercolor wash on it, then smacked myself in the forehead when I realized I hadn’t used watercolor card stock!  But I decided to see what I could do with it for this card, and just LOVE how it turned out!  I took some Pure Plum dye ink from My Favorite Things and applied ink direct from the pad to a piece of acetate.  Then I spritzed the acetate pretty heavily with water… some of it even splattered from the acetate onto the card stock… and applied the wet ink directly over the grid background.  I did the same thing with some Blueberry dye ink, and the final result turned out pretty cool, don’t you think?  The sentiment comes from the LLD Count the Stars stamp set, and is stamped on a Zig Zag Stitched Circle STAX that was cut from vellum.  I used Blueberry and Pure Plum card stock to die-cut the “Star” from the LLD Stars & Wishes Die-Namics, and the LLD Count the Stars Die-Namics.  Behind the vellum circle is a piece of black and white polka dot paper from the Dots & Stripes Neutral paper pack, and that was cut with a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-Namics.  Finally I added some silver glitter card stock stars that were cut with the LLD Lucky Stars Die-Namics and Blueprints 25. 

Please stop by the CTD blog today for all the challenge details, and visit my Throwdown sisters for plenty of inspiration…

Beary Special Day

Hello friends!  I have one more card to share with you today from my great Saturday of stamping with some friends!  This one is for the current sketch #245 from My Favorite Things, and I also used the colors from the previous color challenge #28 at MFT just because I LOVED the combination of Spearmint, Wild Wisteria, Tropical Teal and Blu Raspberry.  (Although, I goofed and used Lush Lagoon instead of Tropical Teal!)

This sweet bear, from the Birdie Brown Birthday Bears stamp set is stamped on Copic X-press It card stock with Steel Grey hybrid ink, and colored with Copic markers.  For the background inside the frame, I stamped the BG Tiny Stars background with Versamark on watercolor card stock, and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.  Then I applied a watercolor wash using Blu Raspberry dye ink, and spritzed with some MIX-ables Sheer Shimmer Mist for some sparkle.  The frame was made by stamping some stripes from DC Plaid Background Builder in Wild Wisteria, Blu Raspberry, Spearmint and Lush Lagoon dye inks on a piece of Smooth White card stock, then I cut my frame using the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-Namics.  (Thanks Kirsty, for letting me borrow it!)  I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Bears set on a Lush Lagoon card stock Fishtail Flags STAX.  And on a square of Spearmint card stock, I stamped the BG Simply Circles background with Sweet Tooth pigment ink.  I assembled the card onto a Sweet Tooth card stock base, and added a few Sparkling Clear Mix sequins for embellishment.

And just for good measure, I think I’ll enter this card into the Card Design Superstar challenge at My Favorite Things, although I am far from being any kind of superstar.  Thanks for stopping by today!

A Harvest of Blessings

I told myself I wasn’t going to spend the money… I was going to resist the new release from My Favorite Things this month!  I told myself over and over “you have tons of stuff you’ve never used!”  I told myself “you don’t need more!”  And then this sweet little Birdie Brown Harvest Mouse started showing up everywhere!  And all of my will power went out the window!

I had some great stamping time with friends this past weekend, and colored this little guy along with the bushel of apples while we were together.  Both images were also die cut with the matching Die-Namics for this Harvest Mouse stamp set.  The colors I used were inspired by the Colour Q Challenge #307 for this week, and I used the current Sweet Sunday Sketch #286 for the layout.  I also made this card work for the current MarkerPOP Autumn-themed challenge #77.  The gingham paper is from the new Homespun Gingham Paper Pack from MFT, and was die-cut with the Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-Namics.  I also used the Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX for the burgundy flag, the Zig Zag Stitched Circle STAX for the sun, the Cloud Trio, and the Rolling Hills Die-Namics for the fence in the background.  My images were colored with Copic markers on Copic X-press It blending card stock.

Many, many thanks for visiting my blog today… I appreciate it so much!

Happy Fall

I got some new goodies in the mail last week from Reverse Confetti, so I just had to make some time this weekend to make a card using the current Sketch for You to Try #28…

I used the sweet new Pumpkin Patch stamp set, along with the matching Pumpkin Patch Confetti Cuts dies for my card, along with the Tag Me Confetti Cuts die.  I don’t usually make a lot of “Happy Fall” cards, but this ended up being perfect to go with a mini loaf of zucchini bread that I left for my Secret Sister at church this morning!  And since we woke up to 48 degrees this morning, I’d say Fall is here!

I hope you had a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Color Throwdown #359

It’s time for another Color Throwdown challenge, and this week Lori is our hostess!  I just LOVE the colors she chose… I think you’ll find endless possibilities with these colors!



I decided to lean towards a Fall-themed card and used my brand new Pure Innocence Thankful Friend stamp set from My Favorite Things (along with the matching Die-Namics die!)



I started out by creating a watercolor background using some Berrylicious, After Midnight and Tangy Orange dye inks.  I flicked on some additional dye inks in Kraft and Chocolate Brown, then set this aside to dry.  I colored the PI image with Copic markers, and used some of those same colors to color some strips of card stock, then die-cut the leaves.  I added the sentiment, and a few flags cut from Kraft card stock, and a piece of paper from the Dots & Stripes Neutral paper pack.  The watercolor card stock panel was mounted to a piece of After Midnight card stock, then mounted to a Kraft card stock base.

My Fall-themed card also qualifies to enter the current MarkerPOP challenge!

Party Like an Animal

The current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge is this photo of some great sunglasses, and I really wanted to play along! 

I started looking through my stamps, thinking “what can I use… what can I use….”  I noticed that there’s a pair of sunglasses in this I Love Donuts stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.  Now, I’m not sure why those sunglasses are in that set… am I missing a pun there or something?  LOL  Instead, I started thinking about who or what I could put those sunglasses on!  And here’s what I came up with!

Squeee!  Tell me the truth… is he not CUTE?  This sweet little giraffe is from the Party Animal stamp set (and matching die) from Wplus9 Design Studio.  I had actually colored him weeks ago, which made this card come together pretty quickly.  I stamped the sunglasses in Versafine Onyx Black ink, then embossed them with clear embossing powder and cut them out.  The background was watercolored with Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass distress inks, and I flicked on some additional ink with Peacock Feathers and Gathered Twigs.  I added a starry background using some white embossing paste and the Stargaze stencil from My Favorite Things.  The black and white strip at the bottom is from the Dots & Stripes Neutral paper pack from MFT, and I embellished with some Sparkling Clear Mix sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I hope you’re having a great week!  Thank you for visiting me today!

Color Throwdown #358

Hey friends, it’s time for another Color Throwdown, and this week the uber-sweet Jodi Collins is our hostess!  She found this lovely bouquet for our color inspiration today…



Even though I’m never a big fan of blue, I DO love it paired with yellow!  So this was right up my alley!

Here’s my card…



I have LONG been wanting the Wide Stripes background stamp from Simon Says Stamp, but it’s been out of stock.  So I started thinking “what can I do… what can I do?”  And I ended up taking a piece of white card stock and some masking tape, along with Daffodil dye ink from My Favorite Things, and created my own wide stripes background!  After I sponged on my stripes, I die cut the panel with Blueprints 24.  On a strip of vellum, I stamped the leaves from the Simon Says One with Nature stamp set in Blueberry dye ink from MFT, then I wrapped it around the striped panel.  Using the Thanks 3x4 stamp set from Simon Says, I stamped with Versamark ink on a Blueberry card stock strip, then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.  I adhered that to the striped panel with some foam  boosters over a silver thread bundle.  The striped panel was then mounted to a Blueberry card stock panel, then to a Sweet Tooth card stock base, and a few enamel dots completed the design.
