My First Quiche & uptown couple BRETT and BRENDA

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a great weekend. I attempted to make my first quiche using the Kraft Canada Broccoli and Cheddar recipe. I am often a bit hesitant when it comes to making new recipes because it is time consuming. For recipes I make often, it does not take long for me to grab all the ingredients out of the refrigerator and start cooking. But it's worth it, as I usually find a new recipe in every ten that I try to add to my stash of go to meals. This is a winner and I will be making it again. I like that it is almost vegetarian and my Husband enjoyed it.

There were a few special weddings this past summer. And this is my go to stamp which is a must have in my collection, I have used it a number of times now. Here is one of the cards I created.


Materials: Stamps: Stamping Bella uptown couple BRETT and BRENDA get married and Ali Edwards Clear Stamps LOVING WORDS Technique Tuesday, DCWV Cardstock 6 x 6 GLITZY PASTELS Paper Stack Printed Matstack Glitzy Glitter, SU! Whisper White and Black cardstock, Rhinestones, Ribbon, Copics, Wink of Stella, corner punch, Circle punches, Cuttle Bug and Alphabet Dies, Dimensionals and I can't remember the gray DSP pack I used. 

Take care and stay warm!

Tiddly Inks - Friends Are Flowers

Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by! A while ago I won my first online blog contest. It was for money at The Paper Trail. I was thrilled and had to do some shopping ASAP ;). They are a Canadian scrapbooking store based out of B.C.. I found out about them because I'm an Amy R fan and she was designing for them.

This is how I discovered Tiddly Inks. Their images are fun and cute, I couldn't resist. I picked up a few other items shown in my haul photo but these stamps are what I was excited about.

 

I had a chance to ink up one of the super adorable images last week. In this card I also used the Copic Mini Pack paper. The materials I used are listed below.

My First Blog Challenge ~ SENIOR-ita SYLVIA

About four years ago my Husband took me to Toronto to celebrate my birthday. I was in awe of the Stamping Bella stamps sold online so this was our first stop! When I arrived I searched the store for the stamps on my wish list and met Emily herself! She was sweet and charming; and made me feel welcome. She even had me stamp a little make and take.

I purchased my first set of copic markers using the suggestions which I got from Amy Rysavy's blog (Prairie Paper & Ink) and a number of Stamping Bella stamps. Most of the ones I bought back then have since retired. But they now carry Uptown Girls which are super popular, Senioritas which are clever and fun, Amariah Rauscher - I'm a Ramona fan and more. The February release is fabulous! I am working my way through my stamps now but these will be a part of my collection soon.

The card I am posting today is special to me because it's my first online blog challenge ever. Back in March I had an itch to create and the inspiration image on the Bloggabella helped me put this card together. I used SENIOR-ita SYLVIA with my new MFT's Die-namics Mini Delicate Doilies.


With a new Baby in the house I don't think I'll have time to play along every week but hopefully soon ;o).

Thanks for stopping by!
