KSS New Release!! My Memories...

I'm over the top excited about this release from Kitchen Sink Stamps! My life living in Colorado is so far in my past! I remember those days as if it was yesterday!! I LOVED fall and all the leaves changing. I spent many hours in the mountains in total awe at the beauty! My cards are from memories of the colors and feel of the gorgeous trees as they change.  Central GA doesn't exhibit any of that, but I do remember.  So here are my cards! Thanks Maria for the walk down memory lane!!

See the AWESOME cards the "CREW" made with these sets!!

Happy KSS Monday!! Recipe Cards

Hi there! It's KSS day and another Crew Challenge. This week Maria is our hostess and her challenge is to Alter/stamp a rolodex or recipe index card. This was a tough one. I decided to make two recipe cards.I was feeling a bit SASSY yesterday and made the recipe's for your viewing pleasure *wink* Make sure you head over to the KSS Blog to see how you can play along. This card is for a Apple Cake. The rest of the recipe is written on back. I used Plaid Plus and 3 Step School Days. Apple Cake

Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix for a single layer cake, prepared to package directions 2 tablespoons softened butter 2 Gala apples, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar

Directions Preheat oven to directions on box. Mix cake mix to directions on box, using 1/2 cup water and 1 egg. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square cake pan or disposable cake pan with butter. Pour in cake batter. Toss apples with cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top of cake batter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.

It looks like I missed two steps on one of the leaves but in reality I left it like that so you can read the words on the vellum in the next picture. For this recipe card I used 3 Step Aloha stamp set for this yummy drink! I wrote the recipe on the vellum using a Copic Multiliner SP 0.2 black pen. It dried really fast!

Pink Lemonade Spritzer

• 1/2 cup citron vodka
• 4 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
• 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
• 1 (12-ounce) can lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

In a large pitcher, combine vodka and lemonade mix, stirring well. Add pineapple juice, stirring well. Add lemon and lime beverage, stirring well.

The Crew have some wonderful projects to share this week!!

SSNOTIME #56 Simply Exquisite and Elegant with Sharon Johnson

Hi there! We are in for a real treat today with the SSNOTIME Designers. Becky will be sharing the challenge this week because we are honoring Sharon today. As you know Sharon is so talented and equally sweet!! It has been my pleasure doing the weekly Stamp Simply challenges. Sharon's work is so gorgeous!! I love the simple elegant style she has. I had a really hard time picking a card to case. I love white on white cards and have made them for over a year now. Sharon also loves white on white so I was first drawn to those type cards. We also share a love of wide ribbon, butterflies, flowers, and birds LOL!!

I decided to draw inspiration from this card. The white embossed flowers in the background are so lovely. Now I have my card picked out, off to stamp I go! I remembered I don't emboss much, I rub my eyes all day so I'm afraid of glitter and embossing powder!!!!! You guessed it NO white embossing powder!! I called my buddy Pinky to borrow hers. Thanks girlfriend:) Anyway here's my card.

I stamped only step 2 of the 3-Step butterfly. I can't wait to see what everyone else makes!! Go see for yourself what the other designer's made. Julie, Tammy, Becky, Janine, Jennifer, Sharon, Darlene

Card Supplies: Stamps Kitchen Sink Stamps 3-Step Hydrangea, 3-Step Butterfly, Stem from 3- Step Roses. Ink: Grape Jelly, LuLu Lavender, Cottage Ivy (Memento), Lavender Lace, Mellow Moss, Artichoke, Craft White (SU!) Cardstock: White, Lavender Lace, Black.
