Cinnamon Bun Sunday

After making Fresh Baked Buns the other night, my son decided that for Sunday breakfast he should have Cinnamon Buns.

I used the exact same recipe as I did for the Fresh Baked Buns but added to 2 eggs to make them a little lighter.

Otherwise same process used, baked for 20 minutes and they were delicious!

Merry Merry Merry Merry Merry Card

Once again, I have made a Red Eye Craft.  Late last evening, well really this morning, I was sitting looking at my craft desk, overwhelmed by the stuff on it and the need for sleep, when I decided to make this!

The base is Cherry Cobbler, layers from the Snow Festival Designer Paper, Whisper White for the layer of which I used my Holiday Collection Framelits Dies to cut out a tree that was backed with Gumball Green put through the Lattice Embossing Folder.  

The other trees were also cut from the same Framelit Die and the Middle Tree used Foam Dots and Glitter to make it all pretty.  

Remember life is all about rainbows, lollipops, unicorns, and glitter!!

Stamp of the Month

Wow!  It's already November.  Where does the time go???  I feel so old when I ask that question...

For this month I chose the Zoo Review Stamp Set.  This is one my son has been asking me got get for some time, because of course he loves the animals on it.

I LOVE Stamp of the Month Club.  Each month you pick a stamp set and Karina designs three cards to coordinate with the stamp set so that you get some ideas of things you can do with this stamp set.  If you are interested in this club give her a shout, I'm know she'd love to hear from you!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Mitten Snow Much Fun Christmas

I decided to make this card today because as I will show you next, WINTER has arrived!

I used Gumball Green for the base, Snow Festival Designer Series Paper and of course Bakers Twine and a left over button.

I have heard several people complain about the mitten punch and coordinating stamp set.  I have not had any problems, if you simply turn the paper over you get the other "paw"!

This is Victoria Trail at about 1100 hours this morning while I was trying to get to one of the new subdivisions.  It was not a great day to drive, but so far nothing has stopped me and my Toyota...

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!

I made these little treat packs for my sons class.  The number I needed to make kept going up and so by the time I was done two of his closest friends had to get their loot in plastic Halloween bags (sad face).

To make these I used orange 12 x 12 card stock, the stamped images from the Workshops On The Go Spellbound Cricut Kit, and the dimensions and ideas from this kit along with the Cricut Artiste Collection Cartridge to make the boxes and faces.  The paper is all from my stash; paper not cookie.  

Inside we filled food safe plastic bags with candy from you guessed it:  Bulk Barn!

Now off to trick or treat across the city in the snow and see friends.

Now, don't worry it's not that awful outside it's only -7 degrees Celsius and with the windchill -13 (which correlates to about 19 degrees Fahrenheit and with windchill about 9 degrees), and my dear friend made us hot chocolate before we headed out to the next stop.

Halloween Placemats

While playing in my stash the other day (fabric - not cookie) I found this fabric.  Almost every fall I participate in an event called the Northern Alberta Quilt Shop Hop.  One of the stores on this journey is the Chicken Coop in the metropolis of Mundare, Alberta.  Wikipedia quotes this town(?) as having a population of 712, but I think that was on a school day and the teachers from other towns were counted too...  The Chicken Coop is an awesome quilt shop.  As part of the Shop Hop the owner Val packages up fat quarters into neat little plastic bags for a very reasonable price, and she also does up packages with 2 one meter cuts of coordinating fabric.  When I found the package with the 8 Halloween fat quarters in it and the 2 one meter sections of Halloween fabric I decided now was the time to make place mats.  I have a pattern that calls for 8 fat quarters squared up and stacked on top of each other.  A template is then placed on the top and all eight layers are cut at once.  The first cut from the pile stays as is, the second cut the first fabric goes to the bottom of the pile, the third cut, two fabrics go to the bottom of the pile, and so on until every place mat will have 8 different fabrics making up the top.  After these were assembled I used the ghost fabric to back the place mats, quilted them, and used the spider web fabric to bind them.  A fairly quick and easy project and looks awesome on the table!  Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Oh S"crap"! It's Monday

Alright, so it's Monday, and I am crafting with food again for Oh S"crap" It's Monday!

Last night I had to make muffins for lunch this week and so I used 3 bananas from the freezer and my Banana Chocolate Chip muffin recipe, except that instead of chocolate chips I used the last of the blueberries hiding in the crisper!

Quite tasty I have to admit. 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
