Stuck On You

I'm taking advantage of the snow today and I'm staying cozy inside. I'm up to my eyeballs in patterned paper, adhesives, ribbons, rhinestones, stamps, and inks. I thought I'd make some cards today in order to get warmed up for tomorrow's Virtual Scrapbooking Preview Party at SplitCoast Stampers. Ahhh........ the joys of paper crafting. I used Stampin' Ups "Moose You" set for this card. The card base and layers are Handsome Hunter, Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss, and Very Vanilla. The metal embellishment is from the Stampin' Up Hodgepodge Hardware set. The perfectly matching gross grain ribbon is from the Offray Ribbon Outlet. I used the Cuttlebug machine to emboss the two layers. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Now I just have to decide who needs some love in their mailbox. :)

SplitCoast Stampers Virtual Scrapbooking Preview Party

Join me at the Splitcoast Stampers Virtual Scrapbooking Night Preview Party. Tomorrow (Feb.23rd) is sure to be great fun and filled with papercrafting inspiration. The general theme is "TV TALK" and all of the challenges will be somehow related to that theme. I'm very honored to be hosting one of the challenges for the preview party and another during the larger event next weekend. I can't tell you what it is....... the challenges are kept a secret until posted. For more information about VSBN, the dates and times, rules, etc. please visit this link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=93
I hope that you'll stop by and participate in the fun!

Easy Peach Crisp Recipe

2 small cans or one large can sliced peaches, drained
2 packets of instant flavored oatmeal (cinnamon and sugar flavored, preferred)
1/3 cup flour
1 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 425. Layer peaches in the bottom of baker. Combine oatmeal and flour in bowl. Sprinkle over peaches. Drizzle butter over all. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until completely heated through and crispy on top. Great with ice cream!

I made this for today's Apples of Gold meeting. It is a recipe from my good friend Dianne. It was a huge hit. Woo Hoo!

Random HappyScrappers Pictures

I thought I'd post some random pictures from several HappyScrappers meetings. Since we aren't meeting during the month of February and recently celebrated our two year anniversary, I thought it would fun to look back at some of our previous meetings.
