PaperCrafts Gourmet Magazine

Okay, so PaperCrafts is coming out with a Gourmet magazine?
You can go to their website & preorder the magazine.

Here's a link where you can purchase this magazine
I'm going to include some additional information they sent me
regarding some Cheesy Garlic biscuits

& a cute Halloween project.

Here’s the recipe:
Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits
Alisa Bangerter

This is a perfect recipe to pull out if you are short on time because there is no rolling or cutting. The cheese and garlic add extra kick to a plain biscuit, and kids love them. They are the perfect accompaniment to serve with soups or stews, and are great served with a salad.
INGREDIENTS
2 c. flour
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 1/4 c. milk
Chives (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Mix together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until mixture is fine. Add cheese and mix well. Add milk and stir until just moistened. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Sprinkle top with chopped dried or fresh chives if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 15 minutes.

And the supplies and instructions for the project:

A Happy Birthday & So Sketchy Card

4-years ago today,
my youngest dd came into the world.
It's been a whirlwind ever since.
She is definitely my feisty, independent, demanding of the two,
but I wouldn't have her any other way!!
She wore an "I'm 4" ribbon to school today
& took goodie bags for the kids in her class.
I checked her out early
& brought her "Donald's" for lunch!!
After Ashlyn gets home from school,
she gets to open one of her presents & she's so excited!!

I already have her birthday card made,
but I needed one for my older sister,
who has a November 8th bday.
You might remember I started making one the other day,
but it ended up as a baby card?
So, a couple of weeks ago I found this sketch site through Christine's Penaflor's blog.

I haven't had a chance to work with any of their sketches until now.
Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time w/a sweet friend.
She allowed me to play with her Cricut Expression
& we decided to cut this card & butterfly.
Once I got home, I used the So Sketchy Card October #2 sketch
to complete this for my sister.

I love how it turned out
& it helps I had these gorgeous Daisy Ds papers
that I purchased from Just Let Me Scrapbook.
Don't forget about the 30% off your entire purchase
& you can get this paper pack too!!

I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday.
I know I am!!!

2 Sketches 4 U - Kazan 12 & a scrapping coupon

It's late & I'm poop tired!!
I've got a busy week ahead of me with Halloween,
Camryn's 4th birthday Wednesday,
and her party, plus my sister's (combined) on Saturday.
So, I decided to make my sister's birthday card
using 2 Sketches 4 U - Kazan's #12 sketch.
As you can see............it's not a birthday card:)

I'll try to use the Bonus sketch for another card.
In the meantime, I need some sleep!!
The weather is getting colder & feeling more like Fall.
I think we're going to be cold for Halloween,
something we don't usually get.
I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!!

2 Sketches 4 U - Laura #11

It's dreary & rainy here &
my computer has been "updating" all day.
Seriously.................ALL day!!
I rebooted at 11:00 this morning,
Microsoft decided to update
and it didn't finish updating & reboot until after 7:00 tonight!!
Geez!!!
I guess it was good though
because in between running around,
helping with homework & household chores,
I made my very first pop-up card.
This was fun & I love how my card turned out.
Is that okay to say?

I took a side angle, so you could see my pop-up.
I actually did 2 of them, one smaller then the other
so I could stagger the "be merry" & the trees.
The pretty snowflake on the front is actually a lapel pin.
I bought these 2-3 years ago? in blue & pink.
It worked perfectly with this card.

So, what are your plans for the weekend?
Ashlyn will be going to see HSM 3 w/her bff
& NO, I'm not taking her:)
We'll be having a yard sale on Saturday,
so if you live close-by,
please come buy stuff & get it out of my house:)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone
& thanks for stopping by!!

CPS 87

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
We sure did.
The weather here in sunny, Florida has been perfect.
No humidity, a slight breeze & cool temps.
I've had the windows open everyday
& the temp inside has stayed a cool 70 degrees.
I love this time of year!!

So, yesterday I worked on the current CPS 87 sketch.
I really enjoyed this sketch & will probably make some more using it.
I started off with one of these:

It's the packaging from a Cuttlebug embossing template
and it ended up like this.

I realize this is not a new idea,
but I enjoyed making it.
The ribbon at the top & the present is on the outside of the package
Everything else is on the inside.
It's also hard to see I used Stickle
as my choice to lighten up my stamped images.

I am working on some other things,
but I feel like I'm on idea overload:)
Guess that's better then no ideas at all!!
