I Feel The Love Jan. 2012

2012-01-22T18:57:00.005-05:00

Madison over at Funky Cards is hosting another I Feel The Love. For this IFTL we were asked to make a card for Olivia's family her story is here. It was asked we make a Sympathy card or Thinking of you card. I know these cards are hard for everyone to make. I went with a Thinking of you card. I went with something that would make me smile if I was receiving a card like this. Olivia's family is in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time. If you would like to join in on IFTL please go over to Madison's blog.

Different kind of Baby card

2012-01-20T18:07:00.005-05:00

I made this cute little Owl card for my dear friend who will be having a Baby Tea. This will be her second little boy. Instead of doing the normal baby style card with bottles, onesies..etc. I went with the theme she is doing the baby room in. I made this seem kinda like a Quilt in a way, with different pattern paper(PP) and used a cuttlebugg embossing folder to give it some texture. I pieced all the different PP together on cardstock(CS) making that the quilt part. I wanted the Images to be plain with no embossing. Just some faux stitching on the Owl. I like how it turned out and love making backgrounds like this. You can use all kinds of PP. If you notice the blue would be for the sky, orange for sun, and green for tree top(leaves). I think my dear friend will love this card.

I Used/Recipe:
DCWV PP-Flower Shower stack -- Nana's Nursery Baby Boy stack
Recollections PP-Bright & Jolly stack 2011
Bazzill CS
Wausau CS
CAC cart- pg25 Branch 3"-- Owl 2 3/4"
Pooh & Friends cart- Clouds 1" & 1 1/4" (I love this cart for clouds, even though I have other carts with clouds)

White Gel pen
Each PP strip is 1/2" wide
A2 card

Thanks for all the Great comments!!! Sorry I haven't been posting that much. Sometimes you just don't have the mojo to make anything an these past couple weeks has been just been BLAH for me. Hopefully after making this card my crafting mojo is back. :) :)

I made a card for CARDZ TV for a Christmas song, but I have so many favorites that I didn't want to join these two challenges. For my song is "Angels We Heard On High" as before in my CARDZ TV challenge this song reminds me of my chance to sing at Disney Worlds Epcot for the Holidays Around the World Candle light processional. I will always have a special place in my heart for this time of year(it has been 13 years now since I had this chance, but I remember it as if it was yesterday). I would do it all over again if I could. A great experience and if the only time you could ever make it to Disney parks go around the Holidays. It's beautiful there this time of year. It's beautiful anytime of year. I love Disney!

I changed it up for this challenge, instead of my normal card, I made a tag. CARDZ TV Challenge #2 theme was "Crafty Christmas" Make a card, tag, home decor item, mini album, candy or gift container. Any craft project you like for Christmas. I never make tags. I always see some beautiful tags other crafters make with so much detail and would always love to give it a try. When I read the challenge this idea came into my head and I just went with it. I like how it turned out. Maybe a great start off for making new craft items instead of cards all the time.

My high school choir was chosen to sing with many other schools. I was so nervous to be in front of that many people, but I would go back an do it over and over again. It was a great experience. Not only do I love O Holy Night, but it has a special place in my heart. (this has been 13 years now since I had this chance) I'll tell you the best time to visit Disney is around the Holidays. It's so beautiful.

I Used/Recipe:

CARDZ TV Challenge #96

2011-12-03T16:24:00.005-05:00

Here is the card I made for CARDZ TV #96 Challenge. For this challenge you had to make a Christmas card using an image starting with the letter 'S'. Okay I know we didn't have to use the exact letter 'S' lol, but this idea came to me using the 'S' on my card as well. It could stand for my name Sheena or for Santa. In a way can be a personalized Christmas card. :) Now my stamp on the other hand had me upset, for some reason it it got all blotchy on one side. Not sure how I did everything right that I normally do. Guess I got a little ink happy. Oh well it's still turned out cute :)

Holiday Update and Ikea Expedit!

2011-11-29T09:54:00.003-05:00

glitter-graphics.com
Hello Friends!! I just wanted to give a quick update. I have been out of town since last Wednesday and will be busy again starting tomorrow. I have no time to work on any challenges right now :( I really want to because I just got TWO 4 shelf Expedit from Ikea this past Sunday the 27th. They had a deal going on for Sunday only they were $19.99. I wanted to get the 8 shelf one plus a 4, but they didn't have a 8 shelf in white. So I just went with Two 4 shelves. I love them, wow why haven't I gotten them sooner. I have two Ikea's near me. One is two hours away, the other is 3 hours away. I think it is worth it, plus I buy other goodies from them all the time. I got both the sets all sit up. I'll have to post pics whenever things settle down around here. I hope to enter challenges before next week. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Hugs, Sheena

Pictures of my new expedit will follow in near future. I recommend them if you need great storage for your paper/paper packs they fit perfectly.

CARDZ TV Challenge #1

2011-11-20T13:49:00.004-05:00

This is CARDZ TV 1st Challenge with a Design Team. For this challenge is called "Just My Style" make a card doing what you do best. Your favorite technique. Well I have so many favorite ways to make cards, but I really love using pattern paper for all my cuts and inking the edges. Just here recently I really started liking inking. I would ink every so often before, but I just love it when you use all pattern papers for the cuts and ink all the edges. I also love making my own Sky background paper by using clouds etc. So for my Cute little card I made a night card, this card could be used for a baby card. You could always add a stamp sentiment on the front or just put one inside. If you haven't seen Mary's work over at CARDZ TV be sure to check it out. Mary is such a Sweet lady!

Hello Friends!

2011-11-20T10:12:00.002-05:00

I have been so busy this past week/weekend. First I have been working on my Christmas cards. That has got me missing some challenges I want to enter, but I'll work today to try my best to make it in them. Second, our upstairs Neighbors water line that goes to his washer has been leaking for the past Two Weeks down into our Coat closet and Laundry Closet. If it wasn't for me putting my Christmas tree up early we wouldn't have known til after Thanksgiving and the leak would have been a lot worse. He didn't have the line tightened. If anyone has any good tips for keeping Mold/Mildew away from where the water leaked please let me know. We have a fan on to dry it out. It has helped a lot. Our maintenance said they will be back out to spray some stuff, but we don't see them coming back out here. They were in a super hurry the other day when they did have to come fix the leak. It was close for them to be going home. Plus our maintenance is on the shaddy side..eeek. Lease will be up next year an we hope to buy our own place. So sorry if I haven't been posting on anyone's blog or watching videos. I have been busy and upset with all this water leak stuff.

On a better note. I won at CARDZ TV!!! Yay!! If no one has been over to Mary's blog to watch her awesome videos and see her beautiful cards, go check it out. CARDZ TV

I hope everyone has had a Great weekend so far. I hope to make some post today. I got my coffee in me, I'm ready to go :) :)

Here is what I made for Cooking With Cricut challenge this week. This week you had to make a project using Cookies, Cookie Monster and/or Clocks. This week was Cookie Monsters Birthday. I don't own a Sesame Street cart..so I came up with my own twist of having Cookie Monster on my card. I used Blue lettering. I think it turned out cute. After making this fun card, I'm now hungry for some cookies...I guess a fun size snickers will do for now..hehe :)

I Used/Recipe:

PDDU cart- Clock top -- I have several carts that have clocks, but none were what I wanted, so I made my own. I used circles and a scrap grave stone from PDDU for the top of the clock. Not sure size of the top.
SU Dimensionals
CTMH Ink- Desert Sand

My Button

2011-10-22T18:53:00.000-04:00

Hello Friends! I wanted to share my New Button with y'all. I have been wanting my own button, I just think they are so cute. I know some may not use it, but I just wanted to make one. All you have to do click and Save As. Go to your Dashboard click Design and Click Add Gadget, Pick Picture and follow instructions. You put my Blog in the Link area. It will make a direct Link to my Blog Dew Drops & Glue Dots.

A Quick Note about what I have been doing. I have really been wanting to work more into my Hobby of card making. Also maybe work on some mini albums. I have cut some unnecessary things out of my life for the time being. Not bad things, but it's things that if I keep them going I make no time for me and my hobby. I'm really wanting to pick up Quilting, I have been saying this for a while now, but I really want to. I'm looking at sewing machines that fit into my budget, that will work well for my hobby. Not sure if many have noticed, but I have been posting a lot more on my blog. I also would love to enter some swaps rather it be Card swaps or ATC swaps. Just something fun. If anyone has good tips on great places for swaps feel free to share. I would love to play along. I have been entering a lot more challenges. I really want to enter ones that are Cricut related, since that is what I use. I may not have a lot of carts, but I make due with what I do have. So I just wanted to share a little bit with what's going on in my Hobby world :)

Hope everyone has a Great Weekend!
Hugs, Sheena

Cooking With Cricut (Challenge)

2011-10-20T17:44:00.000-04:00

Here is my entry to the Cooking With Cricut Challenge. You had to use the colors Purple & Green and or one of the Sketches for this weeks Challenge. I picked the Card Sketch. I don't really do many layouts. This is my first time entering a Challenge at Cooking With Cricut I would love to enter more Cricut related challenges, since that is what I use the most. I had fun playing in this challenge. Can't wait to see what is next. Sorry the lighting is bad on the close ups. It has been raining hre the past two days, so it's really gloomy.

I Used:

I printed off the 'Little Pumpkin' the Font is Comic Sans
A2 card
**I don't have a gypsy( :( super sad face here) to keep the square in the frame from being cut out so I just glued the square cut out of frame back into it. Also the thinner Cloud 9 paper kinda shreds when cut. I know I need a new blade on my cutter, but I don't on my Cricut and it still shredded a little on the pumpkin. I Took sponges an lightly patted the ink on the edges and sentiment. Also I started water marking my pics, not cause someone has used any of my pics as their own, but cause I seen Craft Junkie Too do a tutorial about it and I have always wanted to. So that is why I have been placing that on them. :) :) I'm pretty sure it was Tracy, but I can't find where it is to share the link :( :( sorry.

Thanks for the Great Comments!

I tried to make the tree look like the leaves were changing in spots. Just a little at ta time. I did inking on the leaves as well. This is my first time entering at Stampin Daisies.

Here is a card I made for my Dear Friends little girl, who will be turning Two next month. I can't believe she will be two already..time sure does fly by. I don't get to see her that much since she lives 100's of miles away from me. So I really don't know what she is into. I do know that Polka Dots are always cute for a girl and it's really big in the state she lives in. They are always putting it on something. I think it turned out cute..however that is not blue it is Purple. Not sure why purple shows up blue in my pics. I can take it with my phone and it still turns out blue. I wish I would have added more purple dots to the bottom.

I Used:
Best Occasions cardstock- from walmart
P-Schoolbook-Circles 3/4" to 1 1/2"
Pooh Font- #2 Marker/Marker Shadow 4 1/4"
Cuttlebug folder- Happy Birthday
SU Dimensionals
Black Sharpie pen for faux stitching
A2 size card
*the inside I did a lot of the purple dots to make up for not so many on front of card.

I Hope all those that live on the East Coast who will be effected by Irene Stay Safe!! Thinking of You!

Hugs, Sheena

Planes, Trains & Trucks B-Day!

2011-08-07T16:11:00.000-04:00

Here is my Little Nephews 3rd Birthday card. I knew I wanted to go with a card style I did back in January for a friends little boys 3rd b-day. He really loves Tractors, but I don't have a cart with one on it and plus ever since he was able to figure out what a Tractor is that is all people buy him now. So I went with something different. I think he will like it :)

I Used:
Pattern paper- The Paper Studio, Trains, Trucks & Planes (got a Hobby Lobby open stock)
Bazzill cardstock
Wausau cardstock
Mickey & Friends cart- Train 2 1/4" Truck 1 3/4"
New Arrival cart- Plane 2 1/4"
White layer behind the cuts is 3"x 2 1/2"
SU Dimensionals
White Gel Pen & Black Sharpie pen
**this card fits in a business size envie**
I did the inside with Pooh Font-Marker 1" it says Happy Birthday also did in Marker shadow(did not take pic)
Front of Envie I did my Nephews name in Pooh Font Marker 3" (did not take pic)

Have a Great Day Everyone!!

Yummy Chicken Etti (recipe share)

2011-08-06T15:18:00.000-04:00

Ingredients

Before Baked

Baked...Still Bubbly Hot!!

Here is a recipe I came across by being a fan of the Duggar's..this is Anna Duggar's Chicken Etti recipe. I Have made some changes to the recipe though. When I was searching for her recipe I would always type in Chicken Etti and would get back in the search Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti. So I think it can be either. But I'm sticking with what Anna calls it :)

Chicken Etti

Ingredients:
1 can Rotel-Original (if you want it spicy you can get the Mild or Hot)

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

1 cup Milk

16 oz block Velveeta Cheese

1 package Spaghetti noodles (or other style noodle, we like Penne)

3 Chicken Breast or 2 cans Chicken

2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (can use bread crumbs instead of the cheese)

Cooking Instructions:
Cook Chicken thoroughly, slice into chunks. Cut Velveeta cheese into chunks. Combine first Four Ingredients into a microwavable bowl. Heat in microwave an stir until Cheese is melted. Milk may be more or less depending on if you want Sticky or Runny sauce. Boil Spaghetti & drain. Pour noodles in 9x13 baking pan. Add chicken and pour on the Cheese sauce & mix. Top with Mozz cheese or bread crumbs. Place in oven at 350 until cheese melts.

**My Notes** When I first made this recipe I used 5(five) chicken breast(we love chicken). Than I started to just use the cans of chicken, much easier and less clean up. I break the chunks of chicken in the can up cause some of them can be really big. I also use a little less than a cup of Milk..we like our sauce sticky. I don't use the Mozz cheese..too me it's too much cheese. I used bread crumbs now, but forgot to put them on this time when I cooked this..not sure where my mind was..hehe. I love the leftovers the next day..even better..YUM!! I make this at least once a month. It is a favorite in my home.

**I have used Store brand products for this recipe many times and it taste just the same as with name brand products. While at the store this time they were sold out of some of the store brand items I would have used :)

Enjoy!!

My Dear Sweet Friend...

2011-07-24T12:59:00.000-04:00

Agnes aka Flowerdisco made this Best Friend frame for me. It's just so BEAUTIFUL!! I love it. I have been friends with Flowerdisco for almost 2 years now. I was there when she first started a blog. I don't know her personally, but I feel that I do. We share back and forth in emails often. If I don't hear from her I drop a quick email her way to make sure all is well and she does the same for me. I will cherish my Friendship with Agnes. If no one has seen any of her Craft projects you must go over to her blog. I know my pictures don't do this frame justice. It is so pretty in person. She knows I have a love for Quilts and that is the theme she went with. It turned out so Pretty. The different textures are fun. So Bright and Cheery :) I'm going to hang this frame above my little craft area.

Big Thank You to Agnes...My Dear Friend!!!!

I got this recipe from Allrecipes

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
6 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until set and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

**My Notes** This was my first time making a Breakfast Casserole. My Sweetie has been asking me to find a recipe, so I found this one...simple recipe. Next time I make this recipe I'll use Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles as well as the bacon. I also added pepper to my piece after cooking. Next time I'll add pepper before cooking. You could also add in Veggies or other meats like Ham. This has A LOT of Cheese. I might add less cheddar an swiss an add more hash browns..I love potatoes. This is a really filling recipe. Will make again. Enjoy!

Anniversary for my Parents

2011-07-20T15:10:00.000-04:00

I made this Anniversary card for my Parents 31 year Anniversary. They are in love as much today as they were back when they got married. I got this card idea from StampTV on youtube I linked the video. I did mine a little different, I don't have any Spellbinders Nestabilities so I used my "E" to cut out some rectangles. I'm really not into stamps, I have some but not a whole lot or what I was looking for. So I used my "E" again for the image an I used a Font on my computer for the Anniversary on the side. Very Clean & Simple card.

I Used:
DCWV cardstock
Wausau cardstock
PSchoolbook-Rectangle 3 1/2" also done in shadow
Give A Hoot cart- Accent Flower page 60 3 1/4"
CTMH Ink- Buttercup
CTMH Stamp Set- Spot on Backgrounds
SU Dimensionals
Cuttlebug folder-Swiss Dots
Ribbon
A2 size card
*I used the heart that was left over in the center to put on the inside of card with my sentiment.

Thanks for Looking & all the Great Comments!! I hope everyone is staying in out of this crazy Heat Wave. Gonna be 98 here tomorrow but feel like 110. eeek!

Tater-Tot Casserole (recipe share)

2011-07-17T14:58:00.001-04:00

Prep*

Ingredients

Before Baked

Cooked...Yummy!

I got this recipe on Tasty Kitchen from aparks88

Tater-Tot Casserole

Ingredients

½ bags (16 Oz Bag) Frozen Tater Tots
1 pound Lean Ground Beef
1 can (10.75 0z Can) Cheddar Cheese Soup
1 can (10.75 Oz. Can) Cream Of Mushroom Soup
4 Tablespoons Sour Cream
1-½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.

While the oven is preheating, throw tater tots on a pan and toss in the oven.

Cook beef thoroughly over medium heat until well browned, making sure it’s crumbled well. Drain grease.

In an 8×11 glass baking dish, mix beef, both soups and sour cream together. Top with shredded cheese. Then add preheated tater tots on top of the shredded cheese in rows, making sure there are no gaps in between each tot. Place in the oven for 30 minutes.

This recipe can be easily doubled, or tailored to however you see fit.

**My Notes** I have been looking for a recipe that was a bit smaller than the Duggar's recipe for Tater-tot casserole. I love that show and I wanted to try their famous recipe. Well I looked an looked for a smaller recipe an I found one. This recipe was so FILLING!! My only complaint was the mushroom soup..for some reason no matter what I make that uses that soup I get so sick when I open the can..the smell just makes me sick. I love the soup in recipes. I also used a 32oz bag of Tots an pre-cooked them all..yea I had some left over after covering the casserole, but I snacked on those while waiting for the casserole to be done. I also add my own seasonings to the meat like Seasoning salt, Pepper and Pepper on top of the filling. This will be a good recipe for those cold Fall/Winter days. Also this is even better the next day heated up..mmm. Will make again!

Blue Cheese Filled Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms (recipe share)

Ingredients

Before Cooked

Cooked..mmm Yummy!

I got this recipe on Tasty Kitchen from Lauren's Latest

Blue Cheese Filled Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms

Ingredients

12 whole Large Baby Portobello Mushrooms
4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, softened
2 ounces, weight Blue Cheese, Crumbled
Salt And Pepper
6 dashes Hot Sauce
6 slices Bacon

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat oven to medium heat. Grease the grill lightly.
2. Clean tops of mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove stems.
3. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, blue cheese, salt, pepper and hot sauce together.
4. Divide cheese mixture evenly into mushroom cavities.
5. Cut each slice of bacon in half. Wrap around each mushroom and place a toothpick into the mushroom where the bacon ends overlap. (Make sure the toothpick is sticking out the side and is not in the top or bottom.)
6. Grill mushrooms 5–7 minutes per side or until bacon has grill marks, is slightly crispy, and the filling has melted.

**My Notes** I don't have a grill :( so I baked mine in the oven an then turned the broiler on for the bacon to crisp up a bit. In the finished picture I put them back in to crisp up a little more. These were really Yummy. I love Blue Cheese. My Hubby on the other hand he likes it, but not a lot of it an these use a good bit..or maybe I added more cause I love blue cheese hehe..he did like them though. I will make these again. Very simple.

Yummy Taco Enchilada Bake..(recipe share)

2011-06-27T15:40:00.000-04:00

glitter-graphics.com

Prep*

Ingredients

Before baking

Done :) It's still bubbling

It looks really sloppy cause the bottom tortilla shell stuck to my spatula

I got this Recipe on Tasty Kitchen from Mrs. Schwartz

Taco Enchilada Bake

Ingredients

1 pound Ground Beef
1 whole Onion, Diced
1 envelope (about 1 Oz. Size) Taco Seasoning
⅔ cups Water
⅔ cups Taco Sauce
2-½ cups Cheddar Cheese, divided
½ cups Sour Cream
1 can 4 Oz Can Green Chilis
1 can Red Enchilada Sauce, 10 Ounce Can (El Paso Mild Preferred)
10 whole Small Soft Tortilla Shells

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Cook ground beef with diced onion over medium heat until meat is browned. Add taco seasoning to the meat along with the water. Let simmer until it thickens. Add taco sauce, mix to combine. Then remove from heat and set aside.

Mix 2 cups of the cheese and the sour cream. Add green chilis. Set aside until you are ready to assemble.

Grease a baking pan. Add a small amount of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Put a layer of the tortillas down in the pan. Add 1/3 of the meat mixture and some more of the enchilada sauce on top of the meat. Top with another layer of tortillas.

Add a half of the green chili and cheese mixture to the top of the tortillas. Add another layer of tortillas and repeat with a layer of the meat, enchilada sauce, tortillas, cheese mixture. The top layer should be just enchilada sauce and the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

My Notes** I used a 8"x 11" backing dish. I also didn't use all 10 shells, I only used 8. I think it turned out fine, but you can add all 10 if you like. I will add this recipe to my recipe box for sure. Also when I cut the servings I used a knife. Quick Easy Week Night Meal! If you like click on the Title or name of recipe creator to go to the original recipe. If anyone gives the recipe a try or has had this recipe before, let me know what you think.

Have a Great Week Everyone! Enjoy!

What?! 11 Milky Way's...(recipe share)

2011-06-24T16:34:00.000-04:00

glitter-graphics.com

That is what I thought when I came across this recipe a couple weeks ago. I knew I had to give it a try it looked so yummy and sounded so good. See I'm not much of a "Cake" type person. I like Red Velvet and Texas Sheet Cake. I prefer Pies and Cobblers. Well with this Milky Way Cake recipe I red that is was a sticky style cake..which I love gooey brownies. So I headed to my local Sams to purchase a box of Milky Way candy bars(Regular Size), at first I grabbed the King size bars..whoa those things are on the $$$ side..lol. I say I could have used those and just cut them in half for what I needed for the recipe, but nah I got the regular size box.

So I get back and decide to dive right in and make this cake..first I don't have a double boiler so I had to use two pots, which was fine. got everything all Melted, Mixed an in the Oven. I whipped up the icing. Now already this cake is needed a glass of cold milk to drink after licking the bowl...hehe..I know, I know not suppose to do that, but hey I have done that all my life licking the bowl after whipping up a batch of brownies..hehe

The Cake is finally done..I waited an then added the icing..too me I think its a bit to much icing. Well I didn't even let the cake get cool all the way an I had to stick a spoon in a give it a try..OMGOODNESS!!! WOW!!! this cake is awesome, especially warm. I think its a spoon style cake. It was a big hit in my house, it didn't last long. My mom had me drop off a couple pieces at her place of work an the Owners fell in love with the cake an asked for the recipe. **I don't take any credit at all for this recipe** I got my Recipe from Ree The Pioneer Woman.

Sorry I don't have a picture of what I made..it went so fast I had forgotten to take one :(
Here is the Recipe...ENJOY!! if anyone makes this let me know what you think :)
Recipe got from Ree at Tasty Kitchen

Ingredients

11 whole Milky Way Bars (regular Size), Divided Use
3 sticks Margarine, Divided Use
2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
½ teaspoons Salt
½ teaspoons Baking Soda
½ cups Buttermilk
3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract, Divided
2 cups Sugar
4 whole Eggs
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 dash Salt
½ cups Milk (more If Needed)
1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a double boiler or in a saucepan over very low heat, melt 8 Milky Way bars together with 1 stick margarine, stirring to combine. Once melted, remove from heat and set aside.

Sift flour and salt together and set aside.

Mix baking soda with buttermilk, then add 2 teaspoons vanilla and set aside.

Cream 1 stick of margarine with the 2 cups of granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to the creamed mixture, mixing after each addition. Add melted candy bar mixture and mix to combine.

Pour into a greased jelly roll pan or 9 x 13 baking pan and bake for 1 hour or until cake is done in the center. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

To make the icing, melt the remaining 3 Milky Way bars with remaining 1 stick margarine (in a double boiler or in a saucepan over very low heat). Add powdered sugar, dash of salt, milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and chopped pecans and stir over low heat. Add more milk if needed.

Pour over the cooled cake and allow to set. Cake will be very sticky! Don’t expect neat, perfect slices.

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, then go run five miles!

June Week 3 & 4 "Rock On B-Day"

2011-06-22T18:50:00.000-04:00

Here is a card I made for my nephew who will be turning 11- eleven. Oh boy! let me tell you I have the toughest time making Boy cards especially in the almost teen/teen age. The only thing I knew to go with was his favorite color Green. After this card an how long it took me to come up with an idea..I'm now going to buy boy theme pattern paper stacks. All the stacks I have are girlie style pattern papers. If I had any papers that were close to being for a boy there wasn't a lot of green in it. Green is what I was going for color wise. Also I need to invest in boy theme carts..I keep saying I'm going to get one or two, but just haven't yet. Hopefully he likes the card. I know he will like the birthday money inside more than the card :) they always do.

I Used:
DCWV pattern paper-Not sure stack
DCWV green paper on Star is from the Flower Shower stack
Bazzill cardstock
Wausau Cardstock
B-Day Bash cart- Rock On! 4"-Birthday 4" (page 25) I didn't use the wishes
P-Schoolbook-Stars 1" & 3/4"-Boy 3/4" (Roly Poly font)
CTMH Ink-Clover Meadow

A2 size card
*I notice when I cut something small in thicker cardstock it kinda frays a bit.

My "Little" Scrap Area

2011-05-22T15:53:00.000-04:00

Hello Friends! I wanted to share my "Little" Scrap area with y'all. I love seeing others scrap areas, so I figured I would share what little area I do have. Now my area is in our bedroom, we live in an apartment so space is limited, but it works for me. The lighting is dark(sorry) I only have the Ott Lite and the lamp over by the bed, which is 12 feet away. It's not that dark in person though. I'll explain after each photo each area.

My Desk is from Ikea total for Desk $20..not a bad deal..Ikea has some awesome things. When I get back to an Ikea I'm going to pick up some boxes to store a lot of my already made cards, embossing folders, ink pads etc in. I didn't show the Right or Left side of the area, one side(left) is our dresser with a tv on it and the right side is a tote with all my other craft supplies, Heat Embossing stuff, Bigger stamps, Envies..it was a mess over there, when I get the boxes I'll take all new pics :)

Where I keep my carts that I have no room for under the table, Crock full of Pens, Markers, Cricut Tools, Glue pens..Liquid Pearls, adhesive eraser, Personal Stamp, Rice Krispie treat(SHHHH, it's a secret..lol) Longaberger Basket with CTMH stamp sets, Glue Dots, Cuttlebug folders an supplies, Glue runners, Tape..other little items I have handy.One day when I have my own room, its going to be nothing but Longaberger baskets. I collect them, I have a ton more, just not in my bedroom.

Ott-Lite, CTMH Inks, SU Inks, Studio G Inks, Cricut E(covered in a yellow kitchen towel), My 50cent alligator ruler :), ATG, Card holder(easel), Darice Folders, and Glues

My Cartridge storage, up against my dresser. A VS bag filled with random stamp sets.

Under my table, I store my Cuttlebug, Paper Cutter, Godiva Chocolate bag has my Stamps in it(white bag), Paper Packs, and other scrap items.

You know how you get them kinda heavy duty shopping bags from VS, Godiva Chocolate etc..the ones with the ribbon or rope handles. I use mine to store things like wood stamps, Studio G clear stamps, clear stamp blocks, and Ribbon..they make it nice to just grab the handles..Yea, I know it might not be fancy, but I gotta make do with what I have for storage.

Hope everyone had a Great weekend, it has been really nice the past two days here.

Hugs, Sheena

May Week 2 "Thank You"

2011-05-16T18:12:00.001-04:00

Here is some of the Thank You cards I made to send to some family members. Simple cards!
***Sorry the lighting is bad..very gloomy, cold, and rainy here today.***

I Used:
DCWV pattern paper- Flower Shower Stack
Wausau cardstock
ACY cart- Tag 2 1/4" page 36 in book(pattern paper tag)
Ashlyn's Alphabet-Icon 2" page 64
Darcie Embossing Folder- Fleur Di Lis
CTMH Ink- Green Meadow
CTMH Stamp- For Every Occasion
A2 size card

***Not sure if anyone has seen the blog post about the Darcie brand Embossing Folders?!?! I found out about them from Karen at Karen's Cricut Creations she found hers at Pat Catan's...I found mine at Crafts 2000..My sister and mom picked them up for me since I don't live near one, they do. It was a deal 2 for $5..I got 10 of them..yea that is a lot, but when a deal is like that you can't pass it up..since cuttlebug folders are around $4..Now my review of the Darcie Embossing Folders..I love them..they are A2 size, they emboss very well..you get a deep emboss just like cuttlebug folders..If you live near a Pat Catan's or Crafts 2000 I recommend going an buying them. Next time I am back home I plan to go to Crafts 2000 an look at the others that they have an maybe even get more. If anyone gets them please let me know what you think. I think they work just as great as cuttlebug folders...now I did notice one thing the Darcie folders are smidge longer an skinner than the cuttlebug folders, but they do just as good.(notice the not embossed edge's top/bottom on my card)***My A2 size cards are a 8 1/2" x 11" paper cut in half..than folded. so 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" cards**

Thanks for Looking & all the Great comments! Have a great week everyone!

This simple Howdy card.

This challenge was kinda hard for me..I went through all my carts that I knew would only need one layer of one color. The first idea was a Santa hat, but it wouldn't fit right..So I knew snowflakes could be one color. The ornaments caught my eye..I thought to myself.."girl its April it's 80 degrees out today and you want to make a card using snowflakes"...haha so I went with it + I just got Joys of the Season cart from my sister, since its retiring..had it out on my work desk. I might make white bows to add to the tops of the ornaments. Very simple card to make..just hard using only White and one other color.

I Used:
