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.

Heirloom Stamp Show

I had THE BEST time this weekend working at the Rubbernecker Booth. That was my first time helping out at a show booth and it was a BLAST....oh my gosh, who knew it could be SOOOO fun! I hope I get to do it again sometime! Dave Miller (owner of Rubbernecker) is so AWESOME, I got to work alongside of Julie Smith (hobbywoman on SCS) who I've known since I used to participate on the PIF threads on SCS, and Jacquie Peifer (javablustamper on SCS) who I met for the first time but felt like I've known her for years. Such sweethearts...all of them!

Here's a picture of me, Jacquie and Julie at the booth.



(Sorry, Dave didn't want his picture taken). I got to meet a whole lot of great stampers while I was at the show. If you're on Facebook, I have some more pictures posted over there.

Have a great day!

Cookie Memories

On Wednesday, Hailey and I both had off from work so we decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies. I got this recipe from Christine Dol....and she's right, they ARE yummy....just don't forget to add the baking soda to the first batch like Hailey and I did, lol! The first batch we made, we used the 3 cups of chocolate chips. In the second batch, I used 1.5 cups of chocolate chips and 1.5 cups of Reeses peanut butter chips....mmmmmmm! Yummy either way!



The cut-out Stampendous image is up on foam tape, I added stardust Stickles to the polka dots on her apron, the ribbon is by May Arts, and the DP is Cosmo Cricket's Pixie-licious. Now I need to make a recipe card for these cookies so I can add it to my recipe book.....so stay tuned for that later.

Enjoy your day. I'm working/playing at the stamp show in York again today. {smile}

Homework Station

Good morning and happy Saturday! I'm off to help out at the Rubbernecker booth at the Heirloom Stamp Show in York, PA today and tomorrow.....my FIRST time demo'ing....ever! If you're going to the show, stop by and say hi, okay? I'll be there with Julie Smith (hobbywoman) and Dave Miller from Rubbernecker.

I saw Gina K made a homework station by covering a cereal box and thought it was a really cool idea so I made one for Kara by covering an economy sized Swiffer box. I used this awesome school set from There She Goes...so many stamps in this set that I KNOW I'll get lots of use out of it this year. The white apple and "homework assignment" tag are both up on foam tape.

Have an awesome day!

Sweet Bildmalarna!

So I told you about how I went to one of Suzanne Dean's "on the road" Copic classes. It was awesome! I learned so much from that girl....she's amazing. One of the images we got to color in class when we were learning about "light source" was this S-W-E-E-T Bildmalarna (call them "Bildys"....it's easier, lol!) stamp, Autumn Walk.



Isn't she just THE cutest?? I'm in LOVE with this whole stamp line, especially the Mimosa stamps. I ordered two earlier this week and they already arrived. The girls in the class were raving about Cindy's FAST shipping......but oh my WORD.....they weren't lying....she's THE fastest...EVER! I no sooner hit "send the order" and I got a "shipment confirmation" about ONE minute later in my email. Wowwwwwie! Now that's what I call excellent customer service!

All three clouds (from my sweet blogging friend, Karen Motz....thanks so much, girlie, I just love these dies!) are up on foam tape.

*Edited to Add*

Scrappy Sketch Contest

I just LOVE the PageMaps site. They have such great scrapbook layouts and it's really helping me get back into it again. I thought this month's layout looked really fun. It's different than any layout I've ever used in my scrapbooks and I wanted to give it a try. This is a 12x12 of Kara when we went to the Mast Farms corn maze. The corn images in the circles are from OCL's Bountiful Harvest set. All the other titles and words were made on the computer.

Have an awesome day!

Witchy, Nutty Treat Bag

Here's a little treat bag I made with Anna Wight's new set, The Witch is In. I stamped the witch from the set in White StazOn and then filled the bag with some sugar & spiced nuts that I made. You can see the recipe for the nuts HERE on this old post....they're REALLY yummy! The folded topper measures 2.5" x 4". The sentiment was stamped and then raised from the topper with foam tape.

Just playing some more with my Mimi's Christmas set from Penny Black. Thought I'd make a tag this time.

Mimi's Christmas

Saturday's Penny Black Challenge was to make something other than a square card. I used my new Mimi's Christmas set and Snow Day DP (by Crate Paper) that Michelle sent me.

Just a Blog Hop

Happy World Card Making Day! I've been SOOOOO looking forward to today for two reasons. One....I'm off in Wilmington, DE to enjoy a Copic class with Suzanne Dean...eeek! I'm so excited to see how that girl works her magic with Copics! Two....Jami Sibley had this SUPER FUN idea to put together a blog hop to stamp *Just for Fun*...choose either a new uninked stamp or an old favorite, choose a challenge to play in, and create a card and then mail it to someone.

If you came here from Charmaine Ikach's blog then you're right on track with the hop. If not, then you'll want to head over to Jami Sibley's blog to start the hop from the beginning. Next stop on the hop after me is Emily Gunnell.



I decided to use one of my favorite Whipper Snapper stamps that hasn't seen ink in a very long time. I think it's SOOO adorable and totally makes me happy. The Labels One nestie shape is up on foam tape and I added some diamond Stickles to her wings and the bubble dots. Thursday's Cute Card Thursday Challenge was to make a card with a time theme so I included the sentiment that came with the stamp....



Now hop on over to Emily Gunnell's blog and see what fun she has to show you today.

Thanks for visiting me.
