To keep you inspired, I created a card for a special teacher using two more new sets from The Cutting Cafe...

I used the awesome  All About School printable stamp set for the outside

 

           and for the inside, I used the adorable School Borders set.  

Don't those little school buses look sweet just chugging along the bottom of my card?

   

I used the Friday Sketchers 114 sketch and  the Back to School challenges -  on Stamp TV (stvinspirebt11) , Create with Connie and Mary (CCMC111)

I also want to say a very special THANK YOU to everyone who played in the Teapot Tuesday Destination Challenge to send cards to Andrew, it's not too late to play and not too late to send a card to this special little boy.  Just scroll down to the #1 post to read the details.

Be sure to stay tuned....I've got a blog-a-versary coming up next week and the big, huge present will go to one of my lucky followers/commenters!

 

A Very Special Teapot Tuesday

I told you today was a special day.  Do you remember when I told you about Andrew?  He is the nephew of friends of ours who has been diagnosed with multiple tumors of the brain.  You can read current information about Andrew on his Caring Bridge site. 

Andrew loves baseball and was the pitcher on his team, the Elm Grove Eagles.  I had listed a prayer/card request on SplitcoastStampers after Andrew's aunt had emailed me that he had to be hospitalized due to complications from his chemo treatments.  A few days later, I got an email from Cindy, aka mothermark at SCS, the moderator of the Teapot Tuesday challenges.  Cindy asked if Andrew could be the focus of this week's Teapot Challenge...can you image how excited I was to tell Andrew's family?


You can read the challenge HERE.  Our team is the "Bad News Bassethounds" and only the coolest dogs need try out.

Andrew's coach. Mike Sandy, was kind enough to send us the boys' names and numbers so we could personalize the team cards for Andrew...even one for Coach Sandy.  Can you imagine how excited I was when I was assigned Andrew's card, number 8? 

Here's my card for Andrew: (you can click on it for a closer look)

I had this cute dog set I got years ago by Stamps by Judith.  Their stamps are so great for scene building.  There are so many, many images to choose from.

The DP is from a clearance pack of DCWV papers I picked up at Big Lots.  I added Andrew's name to the dog house with JustRite Stampers, cut and popped up the fire hydrant from the Judith set then cut a cap from a digi image and stamped a baseball from another stamp in my stash and put it in the dog's paws.  The bone and food dishes are from the dog set as well.  The number "8" is Tim Holtz Grunge board that I glittered then popped up.  A little stitching and done. 

I hope you can play along with us.. here's Andrew's address if you'd like to send him a card:

Andrew Wernicke

19445 Benington Drive

Brookfield, WI 53045

Thanks so much and a special thanks to all the Teapotters who so eagerly signed on to make one of the personalized cards.  Stampers are the best!!

Praying for You

Gosh, this week has just flown by and I'm so not ready for a new week yet!   Well,  nothing to do but plunge right into it. 

Today's card is oh so late for the Featured Stamper Al_Silver2, aka known as Alanna.  Alanna is just the best at Clean and Simple cards!  Her gallery is full of inspiration!    Here's Alanna's card that I picked to case.

It's also for the CAS - tastic challenge to CASE a member of their talented Design Team.  I chose this beautiful card by the lovely Deb Neerman.  Deb has an easy elegant style and can weave a tall tale that will leave you either chuckling, LOL or shaking your head. 

When casing a Featured Stamper, you must change at least 3 things from the sample you chose.  I changed the color, the size and style of flower (I made mine to match the DP I used), I moved the horizontal panel up to where Deb's is and used scoring. I also changed the position of the sentiment.

Here's mine:

You've got to click on the photo to see that DP close up.  It's by My Mind's Eye called Lush Pink Daisy and it's flocked.

It's Back to School Time Cutting Cafe Style - Giveaway

Edited to add:  Thanks for commenting.  The drawing is closed.

It's time for back to school.  Time for sharp new pencils and crisp white paper in new shiny notebooks, bright new backpacks and lovely new crayons...oh....the smell of a new box of crayons!  All those beautiful colors!  Time for first day of school pictures in new clothes.  Being just a little bit scared and a little bit excited all at the same time at the thought of a new teacher, new friends and maybe even a new school.

What better way to remember those moments than in an album just for those special first days of school?

I must apologize for this photo...there is so much glitter on this cool paper that my flash was bouncing all over the place. I took tons of pictures but just couldn't get a good one.   It looks really awesome  in person but the camera wasn't too happy.

Remember you can always click on the photos for a closer look...I don't want to blind you!  This is the School Word Book Cutting Template.

The tags are from the huge School Days Printable Stamp Set.  28 super images and sentiments perfect for back to school scrapbooking and card making.  I cut the buses from the designer paper. 

Now for the fun!!  Regina has said I can give these TWO sets away!  Both of them.  All you have to do is leave me a comment below.  I'd love to hear about your favorite school memory.  If you'd like to become a follower, that would be great although not required.

Foodie Friday, A Challenge and an Announcement

The  recipe for Foodie Friday follows, but first, I have some happy news and a challenge for you. 

Sharon Johnson, yes, THAT Sharon Johnson (!) has asked me, yes, me (!) to join her fabulously talented team at No Time to Stamp as Guest Designer for the month of August.  I took about one whole second to think it over, did a little happy dance (out of sight of the dog) and typed "yes" as fast  as my fingers could hit the keyboard.  You have to understand that Sharon as been my stamping idol from the time I found her on SCS years ago.  I think I have a notebook full of her creations that I printed out from the days before we had a laptop and I had to run from the office to my studio to try to case her beautiful work.  So without further ado...

Are you ready?  Here we go:

August 6 - ssnotime151 - One Layer Card - Today's challenge is brought to us by Barbara Anders and here is what Barbara says: I'm challenging everyone to make a one layer card. That means only the card base--not the base + one other layer--no layers allowed, LOL! Embellish however you want--ribbon, buttons, bling, scoring--anything goes, but no layers.

Aack...no layers!, no DP, nothing but your base and whatever you want to put on it but NO layers.

Here are my samples:

and this one from yesterday's post qualifies too. 

I used deckle edged notecards by Fabriano and Savvy Stamps, a bit of ribbon and some stick on pearls.  No sentiment so I can use these for birthdays, thank yous, thinking of you  or get well cards.

Be sure to check out the awesome samples from the Design Team:

Ok, here's your dinner!

                       

This is Not Your Momma's Tuna Casserole!  Nutritious, creamy and oh, so good!  Easy on the budget, too and not a can of soup in sight. I cut the recipe in half for DH and I...just use 1/2 of each ingredient and bake in a 1 quart casserole (above).

Not Your Momma's Tuna Casserole

2 cans (61/2 oz. each) albabore tuna (you can use canned salmon if you prefer)

6 oz. (3 cups) uncooked egg noodles

1/2 c. chopped celery

1/3 c. sliced green onion (or red onion or any mild onion in your fridge)

2/3 c. regular or  lowfat sour cream or plain yogurt

3/4 c. regular or lowfat mayonnaise

2 tsp. yellow mustard

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 tsp. salt

2 small zucchini, scrubbed, sliced (not too thick)

1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 medium tomato chopped

Optional - fresh parsley, dill, basil or chives may be added in before baking or sprinkled on after baking

Lightly butter a 2 quart casserole.

Drain and break apart the tuna.  Set aside.

Cook noodles until al dente.  (they will continue to cook in the oven...mushy noodles are icky)

Drain and rinse in hot water.

While the noodles are cooking, combine the sour cream, mustard, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and herbs, if using.

Combine the cooked noodles with the tuna and sauce mixture.  Spoon 1/2 the tuna mixture into the casserole, top with 1/2 the sliced zucchini.  Add the remaining tuna mixture and zucchini. 

Top with the shredded cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Sprinkle with the chopped tomato and bake 5 minutes more. 

Serves 4-6

Enjoy...save some for me, please!  I'll be stampin' those one layer cards!

5 Minutes and a Really Reasonable Black and White Birthday

This is a super simple CAS card..no cutting, no measuring just a touch of Really Reasonable Ribbon and a few pearls.

The card is the elegant deckled Fabriano note cards. Images are Savvy Stamps.  Easy, peasy!

For the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge #5 and Sharon Johnson's No Time to Stamp (ssnotime150) Color challenge

Supplies:

Paper - Fabriano note cards

Stamps -Savvy stamps

Ink -  Versafine Aloe Vera, black

A CAS and a Teapot

Two cards today.  I've had this one done for a few days but didn't have time to get it posted.  It's for Sharon Johnson's ssnotime150 Color Challenge , the Play Date Cafe's Color Challenge - pdcc40  and  Really Reasonable Ribbon's Challenge #5 color challenge.

                                          

We are to use green/yellow plus black and white or ivory as the neutral.  For the Play Date challenge the colors are black and white with a touch of green but I think my ivory is light enough to pass.  wink, wink

This next card is TOTALLY different.  It's for the Teapot Tuesday and  Teapot Destination Station challenges on SCS.  You've got to go to Teapot Tuesday and read all about the party!  Penelope, Blossom and Bea are having a tea party to celebrate the opening of their new shop.  Charlotte, aka Charlie did not want to go....no way, but her mom made her. You can read the whole sad tale here.  :-)

I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch 84 and flipped it 'cause Charlie's so tall.

The Cutting Cafe - It's a Cupcake Kind of Day

One of my all time favorite sets stamp sets from The Cutting Cafe has got to be All About Cupcakes.

I LOVE, love this set!  Maybe because it's got 49 images (yep, I said 49!), or maybe it's the cool cake stands, or the awesome sentiments or maybe, just maybe, it's all those yummy cupcakes!  Whatever it is, I find myself pulling these images out of my computer all the time.

I found this sweet little pincushion pattern (Just Desserts) online.  Be kind, this is my first one and I must have been tense when I was doing the stitching because some of them are a bit tight...as in uptight!

At any rate, I just had to make a sweet card to go with it.  I think this would be a sweet little gift for any  big or little girl occasion...birthday, get well or just "thinking of you".  How about when your little sweetheart begins her first stitching project?

Would love to know what you think!  Thanks for stopping by the playground!!


This is for the Dutch Dare Card Challenge - Anything Goes ddcc #83

Picture Perfect

                                  

Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days. I spent a day out of town preparing to

serve on a spiritual retreat team.  That meant hubby was "home alone" all day Saturday. He surprised me by trimming all the hedges (a big job!) and removing an old pond so we can plant the area with a nice tree (an even bigger job!) I promised him we would spend Sunday together going to church and just relaxing the rest of the day.   Time well spent.

Now it's back to work for both of us and it's the first of the month, so that must mean it's time for Paper Cubed!  That's P3 to us.  :-) 

This month Kim challenged the design team to make a picture holder.   If you've played with us before you know that our rule is NO CARDS.   You are free to use your imagination to create anything that will hold a picture but NOT A FRAME.

Here's what I started with:

This is a 2 inch binder clip that you can purchase inexpensively at a discount or office supply store. 

I decided to cover the back of it as well because I wanted it to be beautiful from all sides.  

This month, our sponsor is Die Cuts R Us.  You can win a $15 gift certificate to shop to your heart's content for paper, embellishments, chipboard, stamps...need I say more?

Be sure to head to the Paper Cubed blog to check out what the other fabulous designers have created to get your imagination going; then get creting and link up your project on the blog.  We can't wait to see what you create and you might just win that super gift certificate!

 Remember, you've got until August 31st so there's no pressure. 

 Thanks for visiting...I'd love to know what you think of my creation.  Be sure to share some love with the rest of the design team as well.

Foodie Friday - Fontina Frittata with Italian Sausage

I can't believe it's Friday...already!  This is one of those week's that has just flown by.  I hate when that happens! 

Have you ever had a Frittata?  It's just the best "go to" when you're short on time and still need a filling healthy meal for your family.  Breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Just change the add-ins to suit your taste (or whatever's in the fridge), and you're good to go.  Your friends and family will think you fussed and only you will know how easy it was.   If there's any left over, it's just as good cold.

The original recipe for this one came from Cuisine at Home but I changed it up a bit to suit my hubby's taste buds.  Dinner on the table in under an hour and Fudge Surprise Key Lime Pie for dessert!

Fontina Frittata

1 T. olive oil

6 oz. Italian Sausage (about 2, casings removed)  You can also try crumbled bacon, diced ham, cooked breakfast sausage be creative!

1/2 c. onion, chopped

1- 1/2 c. fresh spinach, chopped and packed into measuring cup (try other greens if you like them)

3/4 c.  diced fresh or drained canned tomatoes

12 eggs

1/2 c. heavy cream

1 t. kosher salt

1 c. fontina cheese, shredded (feel free to substitute any kind of cheese your family likes)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Saute sausage in the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until nearly cooked through and broken up, about 3 minutes.  Add onion and cook 2 minutes more or until onion is softened.  Stir in greens, tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste and cook just until greens are wilted, 1-2 minutes.

Remove the mixture to a bowl and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.  Coat skillet generously with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.

Combine eggs, cream and salt in a blender until frothy.  Pour egg mixture into the hot skillet, stir in sausage mixture and cheese, transfer pan to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until set in the center. Sprinkle with a bit of extra cheese as soon as it comes from the oven, if desired.

To serve, slice into wedges.  Serve with a green or fruit salad.

Makes 6-8 servings.

Enjoy!!

                                                    

What to do if it Rains on Your Parade

A quick card that I made for my friend, Della.  She is recuperating from a serious stay in the hospital.  She will so appreciate this fun sentiment. 

Thanks to Sue, over at Sue's Stamping Spot, for sending me this super cute image.  We've been stamping and sharing images and it's been so much fun. 

I colored the boots with Copics then used Crystal Effects to shine some of them up and a Sakura gel marker to give my grey clouds a silver lining. 

Thanks for visiting.  A special thank you to everyone who has emailed or commented that they will be sending Andrew a card.   If you missed it, you can read my post here.

Back to School with The Cutting Cafe

It's almost time for back to school!  Gifts for female teachers are easier than gifts for men so I challenged myself to think of something a male teacher would use and appreciate.  Regina at The Cutting Cafe has designed this super Tabbbed Organizer Set.  I can think of so many uses for this set!  Recipe boxes, notebooks, journals and fun little organizers like this desk set. 

 

This project is about 90% recycled material.   I recycled a square acrylic box by cutting it in 2 (enough for 2 of these sets!) Then I cut the Tabbed Organizers from chipboard that came in my Stampin Up decorator papers.  I covered the organizers with designer paper then added the stamped images to the label that comes in the Tabbed Organizer Set.  See that little stand under my box?  It's the lid from an old prescription bottle, covered with cardstock that I adhered with my trusty glue gun. 

                                 

Have you noticed how thin index cards have become?  Ick!  I  "borrowed" these from my husband's desk, then glued them to some cardstock, added a strip of paper to match my Tabbed Organizers and a couple of Martha Stewart apples punches. Much better!!  See that neat label on the front?  It's from the Cutting Cafe School Days Printable Stamp Set .  28 great stamps perfect for back to school creating!  I laced my label on with a strip of leather lacing then secured the label with glue dots.

 

We have to have a card to write a personal note to that special teacher so I printed the same apples/sentiment image from School Days Printable Stamp Set directly onto my cardstock using Print Shop.  You can do this with Word as well.  I added a bit of dp, stitching, a button and some embroidery thread that I simply wrapped around the dp.

Please remember to pray for Andrew.  Info for sending him a card is on this post.

This little set will be in my Etsy shop along with a few of the other gifts you have seen recently later today.

Supplies:

Stamps - The Cutting Cafe School Days Printable Stamp Set, Tabbed Organizer Set

PTI Teacher's Apple

Paper - PTI

Ink - Copic markers, Tim Holtz Walnut Stain

Accessories - acrylic box, Spellbinders long rectangle dies, index cards, leather lacing, embroidery floss, button, computer

 

                                                       

A Request for Andrew - Can you help?

Update:  Andrew has been admitted to the hospital.  Please continue to pray for him and his parents.  If you can leave them a message on their Caring Bridge site (link below) it would be much appreciated. 

A few of you might remember that I requested prayers for Andrew, the nephew of a friend of ours, who has been diagnosed with multiple brain tumors.  This picture is from his Caring Bridge site.  If you would like to read Andrew's story and leave a message for his family, I know they would appreciate it so much. 

Andrew is 10 years old and loves baseball more than anything.  He has now lost all his hair due to the chemo treatments.  We weren't sure how comfortable Andrew's family would be putting his information out here in cyberspace but Andrew's aunt said he is going through a particularly difficult time right now and is in need of  encouragement. 

I know that cardmakers are the most wonderful encouragers!  If you have a moment, could you  please send Andrew a card?  It would mean so much to his family and I know it would lift his spirits. 

Here is Andrew's address: 
                                                                Andrew Wernicke

                                                               19445 Benington Drive
                                                               Brookfield, WI 53045

I had thought about sending him a baseball inspired card and then decided to send this one hoping it would bring a smile to his face. 

                              

I used an EK Success punch for my waves and popped them up on dimensionals so the fishes could jump in and out of them.   I cut the fish out and then coated them with Crystal Effects to give them shine and dimension.  My sentiment is computer generated.  This is for the CAS77 Red fish, Blue fish challenge on SCS.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Paper - Neenah Classis, PTI

Dirty Little Ravengirl Featured Stamper

The Featured Stamper over at SCS is the talented ravengirl aka Toni.  This lady is seriously awesome at CAS cards.   I chose this card of Toni's and then "dirtied" it up for the Dare To Get Dirty Passion for Pattern by Sharon Johnson to use 3 different patterned papers on our cards. 

I used the lush May Arts black silk ribbon to separate my two base patterns.  Head on over to the May Arts blog....they've got a Ribbon on Cards #31 challenge on right now.  My chipboard and the tiny heart are covered with a new product from Art Institute Glitter called Black Vinyl.  It's for glossy cardstock but I liked the not too shiny look on this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by....I love your comments!

 I love May Arts ribbon and I know you do to, so pop on over there and leave a comment to tell them  (and me!) what you think of my project.

 

This also qualifies for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply 149 challenge to use two of something.  I used two DP's, double ribbon bows, and more and the Dare to Get Dirty Challenge on SCS (DTGD10Toy) Pretty Packaging. 

Thanks so much! 

No Foodie Friday but Clean and Simple and Thankful

 

I started this card for the Sketch Challenge1028 on CCEE Stampers and then realized it says MONOCHROMATIC...duh!  I could get by with the black as a  neutral but when the blue and saffron creeped in, the game was over.  I may enter it anyway just for the sketch. 

 

Sorry, no food today...hubby had a day off yesterday so that meant lots of catching up on errands and I'm working on a project I can't share until next month so it's been a busy few days.

 

Thanks for stopping by...I appreciate you!!

The Cutting Cafe - Little Sailor Boy

 

It seems as though every young mom we know is having a baby!   Guess it was that cold winter  ;-)  At any rate, it gives me a chance to make some baby cards and gifts and I love that. 

 

One of my favorite templates from The Cutting Cafe is this adorable Sailboat Shaped Card Set.  Perfect for a little boy.  Everything is included and ready to cut so all I did was add some handstitching.   Regina has made it so easy to make these adorable shaped cards.  She's got dozens of designs to choose from so that you can let your imagination "sail".    You can cut them out by hand using her pdf files or use the WPC cutting file as I did here.  There are two sentiments and an envelope included in this set as well.  What's not to love?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Clean and Simple Monday

Sorry my Monday post is late...I've had a toothache for a couple of days that seriously cut into my creative juices.  An afternoon in the dentist chair (ugh!) and I'm almost back to whatever "normal" is.  The dentist fixed a chip and said I've been grinding my teeth.  I must be taking out my stress on my teeth at night. 

  

Ok, back to fun stuff...today's card is for the CAS76 Challenge on SCS .  We are to making a card using this cute sketch by Toni aka ravengirl.   

                                   

Don't forget,  you still have time to play along with the Papercubed (P3) challenge to make a table decoration.  Kim, our DT leader, has a great prize for one lucky crafter...a Tim Holtz stamp set and Grungeboard!!  You've got until the end of the month so get creating and link up.
