Potato Pizza Recipe Card....

Pizza Night is Friday night at the Dol House, so when a friend gave me this recipe to try I jumped all over it. So last Friday we made Potato Pizza and let me tell you....Delicious! Very easy to prepare and VERY good! The kids have now officially declared this the pizza to make, not the traditional one. So we know it is kid approved!
Now, with a new recipe comes a new recipe card. You will be seeing more recipe cards as the days get much shorter and colder. I love to make those comfort foods, as this girl does not like winter too much!lol Lots of copics used on this one! Love the image of the two brothers!
Here it is displayed on top of the recipe booklet I am going to place it into!

Hopefully you can try this one out and let me know what you think! Have a wonderful Thursday to all!

Recipe for a picnic.....

Does anyone do picnics anymore? I remember packing up the kids and off we would go to the beach and do a huge picnic......eat and swim is what we did. Now that they are older it is different adventures, but I sooo miss it! But I still love the idea of heading off to a picnic. So with that in mind I love the idea of Cheese Cake in a jar...Hello! Full of yummy goodness! I think this would be fantastic by the campfire, come on, eating your very own scrumptious cheese cake. I think it might be better then smores!lol

I added this little recipe card to the recipe booklet! Yahoooo.....guess what I am making for this weekend.
Make graham crust according to the directions on the box. I just spooned about 1/2 cup of the filling into the jar, then added some E.D. Smith cherry pie filling to the top....as much as you like is good! Refrigerate for a few hours, then enjoy your very own cheese cake!

Welcome February...

Welcome February....I am not too sure whether I want to welcome February...we are in for a major snowstorm to start the new month!
I bought this cute little Pure Innocence stamp in December called "Sending you a little Christmas" but chose to make it a little Valentine's stamp...There was this little Christmas tree in her sled which I changed to a little sled full of hearts. I also just bought this Sizzix embossing folder at Michaels last week, in the Valentine's section and thought it was just too cute to pass up and use on my calendar page and my recipe card.

I made Hermit Cookies for the kids this weekend and made a recipe card to go into the recipe booklet.I have had a few of you ask where I store my recipe cards. I bought this recipe booklet, that resembles a photo album, from Chapters (a local book store). It has two clear slots per page to slid in each 4x6 recipe card.It comes with recipe cards but I love trying to make my own!

I really like that they are protected by the clear package so when you are baking you don't make a mess on your recipe cards!

I hope you are staying warm...I am off to clean house and make some Carrot Muffins and hopefully another recipe card! Have a wonderful day, and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!

Recipe card.....

Today I have a recipe card to show for the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge! This is one of my favourite summer recipes but heck, if you love chocolate this is perfect for anytime. What better time then for a Valentine dessert. Very very easy to make...and the end result...DELICIOUS!

I used Pie for Cocoa Digital which is I thought was just perfect for my recipe card.
Hopefully you will find time to play along and post your own creation on the Sweet Stop Sketches Blog!

Who me?

Today I would love to share with you another Christmas card and a recipe card for Potatoe-Cheese Soup. I made it on the weekend and it was a hit! Good and healthy! Also, Stamping Bella has a challenge this week: SNOW

I used a Mo Manning image, which can be purchased at Stamping Bella! The image is called, Who Me? The little penguin is just an image that I had and added...aside from loving anything snowman...any penguin image is adorable to me too!

Here is the recipe card I made to add to my growing recipe binder.

Potatoe-Cheese Soup

In a large saucepan, melt butter. Saute onions and celery until tender. Add broth, cut up potatoes and add pepper and fresh parsley. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender.Turn off heat, then stir in milk that has been mixed with 4 tablespoons cornstarch.Put heat on low. Stir in grated cheese.Just heat until cheese starts to melt and the broth thickens. Serve with a salad and a french bread stick.....Enjoy!

Snowman and Snowflakes....

The theme for this month over at Sir Stamp Alots Challenge Blog is: Christmas Traditions! I just love this theme. My Christmas tradition is to make Christmas cookies and package them all up and share them with family!

For my card and for my gift bag I made these little jingle bells. I had bought them in gold and silver at our local Walmart store in the craft section.I then spray painted them with ivory spray paint, let them dry, then apply craft glue with a paint brush, sprinkle lots of glitter on them and let them dry over night!

I found this wonderful and fun Vanilla snowflake cake that I am going to make and I wanted to share it with you! I had to make a recipe card for it as I know this is going to be a hit in our house!
Bake at 350 oven.

Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 2 round layers. Blending 1 pkg. dry pudding mix into batter. Bake. Cool and remove from pans.

Draw snowflake shapes on paper. Melt chocolate and spoon into small resealable plastic bag, cut

small corner off bottom of bag. Trace over snowflake patterns with chocolate.Make 35 snowflakes.Freeze 10 min.

Beat remaining dry pudding mix, sugar and milk in large bowl with wisk.Stir in cool whip. Place 1 cake layer on plate and spread with jam, then 1/3 of the pudding mixture.

Recipe card.....

Today is take your kids to work day....so Justin and I were up bright and early..yep 4:30 in the morning to meet up with a friend who is a firefighter and had offered to take Justin and his son to work with him this morning. So last night I made chocolate chip muffins for us to grab this morning along with some pancakes I whipped up this morning. It is going to be a long day for them...but extremely fun. Apparently they make it a fantastic day for all the kids....my son has mentioned he might like to be a firefighter...now I think the getting up at 4:30 might not be to his liking!LOL

I find this recipe really a nice one to make. Breanne and Justin really like to grab these after school or first thing in the morning as they are always eating!! Do your kids eat and eat!!

As you know I have been trying to get my recipe booklet nicely organized with all my favourite recipes. So once again, I did make a recipe card. I will be sharing a recipe card with you in the near future....oh boy...it is called Vanilla Snowflake Cake....Wonderful for the holidays! You will just love it.I found it in the Whats Cooking Magazine. So stayed tuned!

Just click on What's Cooking Magazine right above and it will take you to some fantastic recipes!

Dipping Ghosts....

Today I thought I would surprise the kids with some goodies after school. I call them
Dipping Ghosts! And of course for me, I made a recipe card! I used my Justrite #2 Block with Favourite Occasions Set. I had to cut out my own dripping look, since I missed out last year and did not buy Martha's great punch she had out at Halloween.

Now, I must tell you....it is a must to use the Cadburys Dairy milk chocolate....it just has that real creamy taste! We have done the taste test here, and hands down it does taste the best.

First melt your chocolate making sure not to burn. Place stick in marshmellow so that you can roll it into the melted chocolate.You can either dip the whole marshmellow into the chocolate or just the top.To get that drizzle down look, just take a toothpick and pull the chocolate down from the top!

This year I am going to make these for our little trick or treaters. We don't get too many coming by here in the country...but the ones that do come...I love to spoil!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day, and thank-you so much for popping in and visiting!

...gardeners know the best dirt....

This year I wanted a veggie garden so badly but we are putting an addition on our house so time was a factor! I found this stamp called veggiebella from Stamping Bella and thought it perfect for a card and a recipe.

Sorry about the short post...but graduation has taken over right now! Have a wonderful day, and thank-you so much for dropping in!

beach bum.....

I hope you are not getting to tired of my beach themed cards! I just love this hot and sunny weather we are having...you see, here in Ontario it is so short, as we usually only have this weather until the middle of August. So....I have to get the beach cards in when I can!LOL. I love blue, red and white together...it has to be one of my favourite colour combos! Over at Crafty Creations they have a great challenge. It is to use your favourite stamp! A little tough to do that, as I seem to just love each and everyone of them! But for my recipe card, I used a Karen Lockhart stamp....the "Wicker Chair". It so reminds me of the good ol porch chair!

For my card I used copics and then used last years Martha Stewart sandcastles punch and then tore a strip of kraft cardstock to make another strip of sand! My little banner is just a toothpick with a homemade banner attached to it. I also paper pieced the bathing suit on this little sun beauty!
Here is another recipe I just love...Bruschetta! Who does not love Bruschetta! I actually think I should have been Italian as I just love anything Italian. Here is my wicker chair that I used copics on and then took my colourless blender and made the dots on the cushion. I think it turned out kind of cute! Lots of buttons and lots of cute paper....and there is another recipe card!
Challenge: Crafty Creations ........use your favourite stamp! ( that is if you can pick only one!)
Have a wonderful day......

Happy Anniversary....

Yes....today is my hubby and my 20th wedding anniversary! Now I would have to say "STAMPS" say 20th.....not diamonds! I made this card using an image that a blogging buddy sent me! She is just too cute. I decided to put away the copics for this card and use my prismas.
I also will be making Frozen Toblerone Mousse Squares for dessert tonight so I made a recipe card to share with you all!

I took a picture of the magazine picture to show you what they should look like! No calorie counting on this recipe!
I finished the inside too....by just keeping it nice and simple!

For my recipe card I had these cute Itty Bitty Stamps from the Karen Lockhart company which I absolutely love and thought they would be so perfect for my recipe card. The little itty bitty pies are coloured with prismas and then I put liquid applique on the top for the whip cream, heated it up and then it puffed up nicely!

I posted the back of my recipe card so that you could see how to prepare it...if you are interested in making this wonderful LOW calorie recipe!LOL

We are having a little heat wave which is just awesome...so I hope the weather is great were you are as well! Have a great day!

off she goes...

Happy Tuesday to all...we had an amazing Victoria Day Holiday weekend here in Ontario! This is the official start to summer and boy oh boy was it fantastic. I think after the summer we had last year we are going to be spoiled this year...lets hope anyway!!!! I must apologize for the lack of posts...but with fantastic weather and the kids and there schedules, not much gets done!!!

Last month Stamping Bella started to carry Mo Digital images in rubber...and let me tell you, they are super adorable! I just fell in love with this little cutie! She is called "Bye Bye Girl" She looks like she is on a mission. I thought this stamp would be great even in my daughters scrapbook! Something I also need to tackle!

I kept it very simple...colouring with copics except for the grass and the shading around her, that was done with prismas.

If you are following my blog you may know that I am making up a recipe book with all my favourite recipes. This is a favourite homemade salad dressing! Oh so good.... we had it last night on our salad and it just hit the spot! I can hardly wait until the fresh Ontario produce hits the super markets! Delicious!

I am off to get the kids off to school and then home to get some much needed chores done! I may even sneak into the craft room to create! Have a wonderful Tuesday and thank-you so much for taking time out of your day to visit my little ol blog!

Someone Special!

Thank goodness it is Friday and the weather is suppose to be beautiful.... I am really tired of the rain and the cool temperatures....we need some sun!
Cute Card Thursdays challenge is " Someone Special". I love doing cards for someone special. Now this card does not have a home yet but it will!

I tried to take a close up just to show you that I popped the hat on the chair. I thought it might give it that 3 demensional look! I coloured my image with copics. These are two new stamps that I just bought from Pointers, a local craft store. They are from Great Impressions.

What is a card without my matching recipe card! This recipe holds a really special spot in my heart. My grandmother gave me this one and it's a good one! I tried to give it that ol country feel.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank-you so much for coming and visiting!
