Ribbon Candy ornament

Last one (I think) from my class in October.  This is, again, VERY easy to make!  Same paper as the scallop circle ornament from yesterday.

I added bells (from Walmart) and 1/4" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.

Scallop Ornament

This was ANOTHER item I made for my class in October.  So easy I think Emma could make some!

The paper is the retired Berry Bliss.  I also used silver cord (Stampin' Up) and beads (Walmart)

Chapstick "card"

This is another item I made for my class in October!  I also made a "designer" chapstick to add to it!  LOVE this!

The paper is Summer Picnic.  I stamped the scallop circle, then inked the edges with Pumpkin Pie.  For the dot in the middle of the snowflake, I punched out a circle from the DSP (Designer Series Paper).  I added some Real Red Wide grosgrain ribbon to the spine for an added touch.  For the chapstick, I followed Joanna's provided details (see her gallery) and some tips from a PM to her (Thanks again Joanna!)

I think I'm going to make a few of these for my kids teachers this year.  VERY easy!

Post it holder

This was SO easy to make!  And I LOVE the way it turned out!  I used it for a class in October, then gave it to my grandmother (she NEVER has paper on hand!  LOL)  The Event Coordinator at her assisted living facility liked it too!  She's asked me to make more that she can give away as Bingo prizes!

ALL colors are the current In Colors!  I LOVE this!  The swirl is glittery - done with stickles Crystal effects and glitter.

Beate's challenge VERY late!

Well, here's the start of my one week a month of posts ;)  I'm hoping to get a bunch of posts scheduled, so you'll see a bunch of stuff for a while :D

When I saw this challenge (two months ago! LOL)  I LOVED the layout!  I made my card WAY back at the end of September, but I'm JUST getting around to posting it.....

So here's my card!  I LOVE that it could really be used in EITHER layout - portrait OR landscape!

My base is Chocolate Chip.  The panels are Pumpkin Pie, Baja Breeze, and Kiwi Kiss.  The sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip Craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The "flower" was created using the chalkboard technique.

Thanks for looking!

YUMMY Buttermilk biscuits!

Mama Chris' Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups	Self-rising flour
½ tsp	Baking soda
½ cup	Shortening (Crisco)
¾ - 1 cup	Buttermilk

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 450˚F
   
2. In medium bowl, stir flour and baking soda together
   
3. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture looks like fine crumbs
   
4. Stir in buttermilk until dough rounds up into a ball (leave some flour on sides of bowl – add more buttermilk as needed)
   
5. Break off pieces and roll into balls. If making cheese biscuits, flatten, add cheese, pinch together and roll again.
   
6. Place on ungreased or floured cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes (until brown on top)
   

Tip: You can also make these with regular milk for regular biscuits, but don't put in baking soda.

 

YUM! I LOVE my Mama Chris' buttermilk biscuits! SO, this past week, I went over to her house and BEGGED her to show me how to make them! This is the recipe, with her notes added J I hope you enjoy them! We make them with cheese of course!

Name frame

I made this for my grandmother!  It's for her door at the assisted living facility.  I LOVE it!  Her favorite color is blue.  I used the retired Creative License Simply Scrappin kit paper with stars on it.  The letters were stamped in Baja Breeze, inked the edges with Kiwi Kiss, and matted each one on Pacific Point.  I added  a little bit of Whisper White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and also stamped the kids (all Granny's great-grandchildren!) on Whisper White and colored in using random colors.  Let me know what you think. 
Oh and I'm going to REMOVE the word verification and add message monitoring.  Hopefully, this will INCREASE the number of comments I'll get....
