Strawberry Spinach Salad

My friend Dawn made this at a picnic in June...and we've both been making it ever since (it's soooooooooooo delicious!!!) Seriously, just in the last couple weeks, I've made it three times!...lol!  So anyhoo, I thought I'd make it into a recipe card for my binder....it's a keeper!  :)

All my recipe cards are 5" x 7" and I have clear sheet protectors for them to slide into (to keep them from getting messy while cooking).  I printed the recipe onto Classic Ivory CS, stamped the strawberry basket (from Flourishes "Strawberries" set), and colored it with Copics (Poppy Collection, Leaf Green Collection, R22, 0, E31, E33, E35, W1, W3), and added a little twine bow.

Thank you to all who sent well wishes to my mom during her knee surgery. She made it through the surgery without any complications and the physical therapist says she's doing really well.  She is having some pain, especially after the physical therapy sessions, but it's controlled with pain meds and she's in really good spirits. :)

Have a great day!

FTTC178 "Savoring Summer"

Helloooooooo! It's Timeless Tuesday Challenge time (#FTTC178) and I'm so excited about today's challenge from Amanda.....it's to make a favorite summer (or any other season) recipe on a card decorated with your favorite Flourishes stamps! I LOOOOOVE making recipe cards!!

As luck would have it, a friend of mine just introduced me to this "fire and ice salsa" recipe that I definitely wanted to make into a recipe card. It's salsa made with watermelon instead of tomatoes. Maybe you've heard of it, but I hadn't. I tried it and oh my word, it's really good!!!

I used my Wild For Watermelon set (oh yes, how I love this set!), stamped the images on classic ivory CS, colored all the watermelon with Copics (Poppy Collection, Green Grass Collection, W1, W3, and R59), cut out the four designer watermelon slices with scissors and popped them up on foam tape, added some crochet cotton lace in between the pattern papers, and added some Kaiser pearls. My recipe card measures 5" x 7" and I store my cards in plastic sheet protectors within a three-ring binder.

If you're looking for a recipe template, Flourishes has two in their downloads section. Check it out by clicking HERE.

Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the Timeless Tuesday ladies have created for you today..... Allison, Amanda, Cindy, Heather, Makiko, Mona, Jan Marie, and our July Guest Designer Patti Gilliam.


Have an awesome Tuesday!

Coconut Chicken Salad Recipe Card

So now that the holidays are over, I'm trying to get back to eating "healthier" foods. I just tried THIS coconut chicken salad recipe earlier this week from Skinnytaste.com and I really liked it so I figured I'd make it into a recipe card for my binder.



I know, I know....a lot of people don't like coconut....but I do! Yum!! :) The card measures 5" x 7"....no stamps on this one...just the butterfly die, bling, lace ribbon, Stickles on the butterfly, and sewing. Done and done. :)

Brown Sugar & Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin

Oh Yum! Tried this slow cooker recipe yesterday (thank you to Adina for posting it!), loved it, and made it into a recipe card this a.m. You can view the full recipe HERE on the C&C marriage factory blog.



I had this Mo Manning image colored up for over a week now and figured he'd be cute to go on a recipe card...since he's wearing a strainer on his head and all. Heehee! With the cork matting, the recipe card has a little dimension to it...kinda like foam tape. Stickles were added to different parts of the image. Here's a close-up...



Thanks so much for stopping by and have yourself an awesome day. I gotta get to work now...boo!

Seasoned Croutons

My friend Debbie shared this recipe with me.....and oh my, thanks to her, I won't be buying store-bought croutons anymore. I'll be making THESE from now on. They're easy to make and sooooo yummy!!!



A little about the recipe card....it's 5" x 7", the matted rectangle panels are popped up on foam tape, and Stickles were added to different parts of the Tilda image.

In case the recipe is too hard to read from my photo and you're interested in trying it, here it is...

1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
one pinch salt
6 slices day-old bread, cubed

Tuna Salad Recipe Card

I wanted to find a healthier way to make tuna salad with less mayonnaise. I looked on the internet and found this one, tried it out, and liked it (DH even likes it and he does NOT typically like "healthy" recipes, lol!). The secret ingredient is plain, low-fat yogurt!! I would have never thought to use that before seeing this recipe.



The card measures 5" x 7". The stamped image is from Penny Black and it was colored with Copics...and of course, I added Stickles on different parts of the image. :)

In case the recipe is too small on your screen and you're interested, here it is:

2 cans chunk light tuna, drained of water
2 tbsp relish
1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Measure out five 1/4 cup servings. Calories per serving = 104 (1.4 g fat, 4 g carb, 3 g sugar, 18.1 protein, 0 fiber).

Our Favorite Drip Beef

Mmmmmmmm...hot drip beef on toasted rolls with cheese...it's what's for dinner tonight in the Marzec house. I also thought I'd (finally) make a recipe card for it to put in my binder. The digi image is from Mo Manning (called "What's Cookin'?") and patterned paper is October Afternoon's Farm Fresh.



This recipe started off as one from my cooking hero, Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman. She has two drip beef recipes that you can see HERE. They're both really great recipes, but we like the "basic" one a little more because it makes a lot of extra juice. We like to put the juice in a little bowl next to our plates and dunk the toasted sandwiches right in there. Yum-O! My recipe is just a little different from hers (I've tweaked it a little...not that I think I'm a better cook than she is....because I DON'T...I just made some changes for what works for us). I add Montreal steak seasoning to mine, use less garlic and grate the garlic on a cheese grater, and I bake the whole thing in the oven at 275 degrees for 5-6 hours.

Have a great night!

Pineapple Mango Jam

Hi stampers! Remember me?...lol! It's been a couple weeks since I've done any paper crafting or posted anything here to my blogaroo. I've been busy with work, getting stuff ready for Kara's first day of school, spending time with friends while there's still some summer left, reading, and keeping up with my running.

I posted on Facebook the other day that I was making some homemade pineapple/mango jam (a yummy recipe from the fabulous Cindy Lawrence) and decided I'd better make this into an official recipe card for my binder, as it's an awesome recipe! Wouldn't want to lose this one! :)



The main matted image is up on foam tape, all the edges are machine stitched, and I added a bunch of sparkle to Pineapple Girl (isn't she sweet?!...this is my first Mo Manning image...love it!) with my stardust Stickles (love that stuff, too!).



Alrighty, that's it from me today. I need to go for a run this a.m. before it gets too hot. Hope you have an awesome Saturday!

Peach Cobbler Recipe Card

Hi all and happy weekend! I've spent my entire morning in my jammies (being lazy) and making this recipe card....



I found the recipe on allrecipes.com and it's specifically for CANNED peaches. My grandmother cans her own peaches every year (so yummy!) and gives them out to all of us in the family, so I was excited to find this recipe. I've made it a few times this summer already and it's been a hit so far.....it's an easy-peasy recipe, too! Gotta love that!

The stamp I used is a Penny Black stamp called Sweet Dreams. The stamp itself says "strawberry jam", but I changed it to peaches by coloring the fruit in shades of peach and orange, stamping a second label (by coloring the outline of the label right on the rubber stamp with a black SU marker), cutting that out, and gluing it over the original image. Then I just hand wrote "canned peaches"....viola!...done! I faux stitched around the recipe and added some stardust Stickles to the "canned peaches" label.

I keep my recipe cards in a CR Gibson binder and they're covered with plastic sheet protectors so I don't get them messy when cooking (because I AM a messy cook...lol!).....like this....



I L-O-V-E my recipe binder!! Makes me happy! :)

Okay, now enough laziness for me today. I'm gonna get myself dressed and take the dog for a walk or something. Enjoy your weekend!

Okay, so I had exciting news for you on Monday about my guest spot with Penny Black. Well, I have more news to share today.....I'm honored to be guest designing in December for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps as well!! Thanks Korin and "Janettie Spaghetti" for inviting me!!

You all know how much I love making recipe cards, right? Well, I also love all the Cocoa images over at Sweet 'n Sassy. I said something one day to Korin about making a Cocoa with a chef hat. Well, O...M...G.....I barely had time to blink and she had sketched one up! I'll tell you, the girl is QUICK! Want to see Chef Cocoa?? Here he is.....



Is he cute or what?! Oh my gosh, AWESOME job, Korin!

I made this 5" x 7" recipe card for Upside Down Apple Pie. I added some clear Spica shimmer to his ears and nose as well as some stardust Stickles to the chef hat. The pearls were colored with my R59 Copic.



Have an awesome day!

Cookie Jar Classic

Have to thank Christine Dol for this AWESOME recipe!! Check out her post and CUUUUUTE recipe card HERE.



My recipe card is a 5" x 7" that fits into a ring binder and plastic sheets (so the card is COVERED and can't get messy). I used my Stampendous Cookie Memories stamp again, colored it with Copics, and added some platinum Stickles to the polka dots on her apron. The chocolate chips up in the corner and the "I love chocolate" sentiment are from my Sweet Chocolate set by My Cute Stamps. I got both sets from Stamper's Dream. I went with orange and yellow colors to go with the Reese's peanut butter chips....oh yum!

If you want to see what my recipe binder looks like that holds the 5"x7" cards, click HERE. I love my ring binder and the clear protectors! Michelle also carries Cardkeepers products, which work GREAT for recipe books. I made one for my mom that you can see HERE on this old post.

Enchiladas and Italian Drip Beef

Here are a couple more recipes I've tried recently from Ree Drummond.....and they are really yummy recipes! She ROCKS!





Both of these are 5 x 7 cards. I didn't use any stamps on the enchilada card...just DP, sewing, a little bit of eucalyptus stickles on the tomato leaf, and a border punch. On the drip beef card, I used my Hero Arts What's Cooking clear set that I got from Stamper's Dream. The pot holders were stamped on the Farm Fresh DP in Memento Tuxedo Black, cut out and attached to the card with brads and tape.

....oh, and here are direct link's to Ree's recipes:

Meatball Melties & Burgundy Mushroom Sauce

Hi all and happy Sunday! It's been a while since I posted some recipe cards. I finally filled up my other binder with 4x6 recipe cards, so now I'm filling up a second binder. This one holds 5x7 recipe cards...and they're still stored in plastic sheet protectors within the binder (gotta protect them from my sloppy cooking self, lol!).





Both recipe cards were printed on Vintage Cream cardstock and then layered on October Afternoon's Farm Fresh DP and Real Red. The stamped images are from my Cookin' Up Memories set. Michelle has a bunch of kitchen-themed stamps by Cookbookin', Hero Arts, Inky Antics and JustRite....and don't forget, she also carries those awesome Cardkeepers Album Kits and clear protective sleeves that hold 4.25" x 5.5" recipe cards.

The two recipes are from Pioneer Woman and Rachel Ray. Here are direct links to the recipes if you want to print them out...

Cardkeepers Recipe Book

Check out this super COOL new arrival at Stamper's Dream....Cardkeeper Album Kits! You can use them to store just about anything.....A2-sized greeting cards, recipe cards, photos, etc.



I wanted to make a recipe book for my Mom in her kitchen colors (hunter green, ivory, and beige with some burgundy). I altered the covers and the Maya Road What's Cookin' Mini Chipboard pieces with some Life Stories DP Collection 2 DP. I used my chipboard pieces, Spellbinders circle dies, JustRite Decorative Wide Border, Cookin' Up Memories set, and some Prism Sage Dark to make a "place setting" on the cover.

Now...here's my FAVORITE part about these Album Kits. I've mentioned in other posts how I like to put my recipe cards in clear protectors so they don't get messy splatters while I'm cooking. Well, these kits include sleeves! Michelle also has the Cardkeeper Sleeves in her store that you can purchase separately if you'd like to have extras on hand. Have to say, these sleeves by Cardkeepers are MUCH better quality than the ones I've been using in my old binder. They're thicker and won't "tear" while you're flipping through the cards. This book I made for my Mom has a total of 15 sheet protectors in it.....and there's room for LOTS more!



Here are the recipe cards. I made five of each color. The Cookin' Up Memories images are stamped in Versamagic Olive Chalk Ink.



Thanks for stopping by today!

Cookbookin' and Sewin'

Hi all! I hope you had a VERY Merry Christmas and things are settling back down for you. Our Christmas was wonderful and I've enjoyed spending the week with the ones I love. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family.

I made two recipe cards using my brand new Cookin' Up Memories set from Stamper's Dream. I'm totally in LOVE with this set!....the images stamp beautifully! Michelle has a whole line of these new Cookbookin' stamps.....SUPER cool sets, check them out.





The cards are both 4" x 6". The recipes were printed on white CS, cut out, and matted against Prism Mystic Dark CS. The images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The Chicken Spaghetti recipe has a blue rhinestone in the center of the wooden spoon. The Chicken Pot Pie recipe has some Gun Metal Stickles added to the spatula, metal spoon, and tops of the salt and pepper shakers.

.....do you see it?.....the stitching??....it's REAL! Whoooo-hooooo, I'm doing the happy dance! My MIL bought me the Janome Sew Mini for Christmas. Oh my word, I was so excited when I opened it. She probably thinks I'm nuts, lol! Yesterday I set it up, read some online tutorials, and got to work on practicing how to sew around the corners. I think I got the jist of it....oh I know I still need more practice, but hey, I'm pretty proud of myself considering I've haven't touched a sewing machine since I was in the seventh grade, lol!

In case you'd like to see the full recipes with pictures and all that jazz, here are the links:

- Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot Pie from Rachel Ray Show
- Chicken Spaghetti from Pioneer Woman

I've made both of these dishes and they're DELICIOUS!

Have a GREAT day and thank you for visiting me. I really appreciate all of you so much!

Oh YUMMMM, I just made these for my daughter's Christmas program at the preschool and they were so good. You can find the full recipe HERE on the Tasty Kitchen site. They even keep their pretty orange color.

My good friend Dawn (who happens to be celebrating a birthday today, so stop by and wish her some birthday love if you get a chance...hehe!) has me totally HOOKED on these cute ATS images. This one is called Pippi and I thought she'd be great on a pumpkin recipe card.

Here's the back of the card....complete with a smudge because I was eating a yummy peanut butter bar while crafting, lol!

More kitchen stuff...

...this time I made a gift set for my Mom-Mom (grandmother).



Just like the set I made for my Aunt the other day, I used my JustRite Trompe fonts and Kitchen/Library/Desk set for the circle element on the recipe cards.



She also does a lot of canning with peaches and spaghetti sauce, so I made up a bunch of round labels to fit on the tops of the jars. I added two strips of Scor-Tape to the backs of them and just left the backing on them, so when she's ready to stick them on the lids all she has to do is peel the backing and they're good to go.



I included a full card (you can see it in the photo at the top of this post) in her set rather than a card front like I did with my Aunt's set. The apron and Made With Love sentiment are from my Hero Arts What's Cooking clear set.

Michelle has all SORTS of cool kitchen-style stamps and supplies in her store right now. Check it out HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Now I'm off to wrap this up...yay, one more item to check off my Christmas list. Have a great day!

Kitchen Tilda

Lookie here....I went and bought my first Tilda. I have to admit I wasn't always so *into* the Magnolia stamps, but they've totally grown on me now...especially Kitchen Tilda. Love her! I thought she'd be perfect for some recipe cards.

Instead of making myself some more typed up cards, I decided to make a stack of blank recipe cards for my Aunt Kay as one of her Christmas gifts this year. She's a really great cook and people are always asking her for her recipes (me included) and she normally writes them down on a blank white index card. Now she'll have some *prettied up* cards to use.



I made a total of twelve 4x6 recipe cards, four of each of these. The sentiment circle was done with my JustRite Library/Kitchen/Desk Set and Trompe fonts. The word "recipe" is from my Hero Arts What's Cooking clear set.

Then I just made a 4x6 cover, decorated just like a card front with Kitchen Tilda, put the cover on the top of the stack of recipe cards, and tied it all closed with some white ribbon. The sentiment at the bottom is also from my Hero Arts What's Cooking clear set.

Have a great day!

Raisin Cake & Spiced Nuts

Hey there! I made two recipe cards for today's Inkspirations Challenge....wow, what a great sketch and how PERFECT for recipe cards!

On both cards, I used used my Hero Arts What's Cooking clear set with some patterned paper that I picked up at Michael's and Prism Vibrant Cobalt CS. The purple crystals on both cards are glued down with a small dot of Diamond Glaze.


The "secret recipe" (that's not such a secret if I posted it on my blog, huh? hehe!) tag on the first one is up on foam tape.


On this second card, I added some lavender Stickles to the hearts in the "Made with Love" sentiment.

*Note about recipe cards*
I've gotten a few emails and comments from some of you saying you're afraid to make a recipe card thinking it will get messy while cooking. I'm a messy cook too, folks! What I do is store my recipe cards in clear protectors. If I slop up the plastic cover, I can just wipe it off and the recipe card is still good as new. {smile}

*Note about the raisin cake recipe*
I'm especially fond of the raisin cake recipe since it's one that's been in my family for a long time. My tip for this recipe, if you're going to try it out, is to make sure you cook the raisins in med to med-low heat so you keep as much of the liquid as possible because you'll need it for the batter....helps keep the batter "workable." Also, I take my cake out of the oven when it is JUST barely done. That also keeps it really moist. Oven times vary, so start checking it at 45 minutes.



*Note about our Christmas tree*
I had some questions about our Christmas tree and what's underneath (sorry that it has taken me so long to answer this....I kept forgetting to add it to my posts this week). My husband loves trains and likes to have one under our tree. He built a big wooden base for the train tracks and tree stand. The base is elevated a little so he can run all the wires for the village buildings between the base and the floor. The little village buildings you see in the photo are all Christmas-related buildings (a toy shop and toy clock tower, Santa's Sleigh Depot, a village mill with a waterwheel, and a wood workshop)...they all light up and a couple of them have moving parts. You may be wondering why there's only one train car. Our cat likes to knock the cars down (total brat that he is!...kidding, love him!) and we're tired of setting each one up over and over and over again....so this year, we decided to just have a "Christmas Trolley" instead of a "Christmas Train." {smile}

Corn Soup Recipe

Hey all! What a week it's been. I've had an inner ear infection for over a week now with all sorts of wacky symptoms...constant dizziness, nausea, headaches, tiredness...and it's affecting my stamping time. The nerve! (lol!) My dear sweet husband is out at the pharmacy right now as I'm typing this picking up a new prescription for me.

Here's a recipe card that I made a few days ago for some corn soup...just getting around to posting it now...

It's another 4x6 card to go in my binder. The corn image is from my Autumn Blessings set. It's stamped on the DP and then I colored an extra bow with copics, cut it out and popped it up on foam tape. I also added a bit of Stickles to the bow and curls on either side of the image.

Here's the back.....(really wishing I would have embossed the yellow panel and added a bit of rust like I did on the front....but oh well, too late once it's all glued down, right?)
