mix dry ingredients together with a whisk. Then with your hand mix together milk into the dry mixture until completely mixed, it will be a little sticky. Fry in hot oil. Can be served with beans, cheese, tomato, lettuce OR cinnamon and sugar.

Route 66

I've been wanting to a layout like this, for a long time....we have cars EVERYWHERE,

and if you move one, oh boy you're in trouble! I also waited forever for this paper

by October Afternoon to come out because I knew it would be PERFECT!

I was pretty excited because it came together quickly-one of those layouts rolling

around in my head. I made the little light myself...Both of my boys were SO excited

about this layout, I only made one....uh, oh!

This was a layout for the DT call over at My sketch World. It sure was fun for fresh

ideas, they are a REALLY friendly group over there, check them out!

oooh! One more thing! Harry Potter comes out today! Sure hope we can go see it

soon!

thanks for stopping by!

my tip of the day this week at Scrapbook Circle

I thought I would share the video that I made this week for Scrapbook Circle. It's on ribbon layering technique:

I have to thank DD as my camera gal, she did a great job! On the video I failed to mention how long I had cut my ribbon approximately 8", after I finished it ended up being 4 3/4". This will change depending on how big your folds are AND how much ribbon you cut. Here is the finished product:

Cosmo Cricket CHA release

Have you seen them?

Makes me SO excited! Just love Earth Love & the boyfriend TOTALLY fun! Jolly by Golly will

be fun to work with too! HERE is a view of the whole line!

Do you find yourself drawn to the same lines of paper? I do a lot of the time and

I don't even realize that I'm doing it! As you guessed Cosmo cricket is one of those companies!

Just had to share this FUN stuff!

BTW--have no idea why those pictures are SO small.....

***I just found out!!! I am the guest designer in August for My Sketch World! Thank

you Lucy!**

Hot lips....

This picture is so funny, and the story behind it even better....we ate something spicy, water wouldn't help so they decided that breathing into bandannas would! I HAD to take a picture of this SERIOUS event: (And YES I did do another layout with the same picture, you can see it HERE)

sorry for the quality of the picture it was taken at night, and well.....

For the hot I put some glossy accent on it and then heat embossed it to make it

look hot, sort of a fun accident! The sketch is from My Sketch World #11.

For the lips I traced on the back of the paper, using my paper piercer I traced around

the lips. I then used my embroidery floss for the finish. I really had a lot of fun with

this one! Thanks for stopping by today!

Got Liberty!

I had the most fun with these pictures (once I found the paper I wanted!)

my DS was so funny with this hat, he wore them proudly on the bus all the way home from school but as soon as I wanted to take his picture, he suddenly didn't want them on anymore.... he makes me laugh pretty much all the time.

summer seems to be flying by, and school starts for some around here in a week! For us it isn't for another 3, CRAZY!! We've already bought our supplies--(I hate crowds!) and they are stacked up ready to go.

I had a dream about using the manual mode on my camera, hmmmm...wonder what that was about? Maybe I should take it out of dummy and semi-dummy mode!

Hope you have a good one! Thanks for stopping by!

must be in a card making mood!

Okay, I can tell you that the process of making these cards was fun! I learned a lot, it was a learning process.

Card #1:

I made this while watching lord of the rings, I'm noticing that the brad in the center looks like the "eye"...I know totally random but it does....I cut a piece of paper from the July kit at Scrapbook circle, then folded it so that the green line lined up to form the stem. I also stamped the green flowers in the kit with a mesh design and then distressed them. SO fun!

card #2:

this is probably my favorite of the three, why? The flowers of course! these are minis!

card #3:

this was just plain old fun! This is my new buddie owl, isn't he just so cute?!

all my stamps are Hero Arts--yes you can find them at your local Michaels (they all seem to carry the same EXACT stamps!) Oh, and all of these were sketches from My sketch World.

This is gonna be a quick post, I really appreciate you stopping by!

Having more fun...

with this little butterfly stamp:

I bought it at Michaels and just have fallen for it! This is a mini card that I was inspired to do. The music paper I have had for at least 6 years! It was buried underneath and in between some things....The brads were new...just happy to be using my stash!

supplies:

stamps: Hero Arts

brads: Basic Grey

ribbon & pattern paper: unknown
