Saturday was a GREAT day!! I got to spend 12 hours with a great group of crafty ladies at my first ever All Day Stamp and Scrap Event. I was exhausted by 10:30pm when everyone finally departed but the day went so well, it was worth it!! I broke my usual rule of cleaning up before I go to bed (in fact, I was in bed within 10 minutes of locking the front door!) so when I got up this morning, this is what I saw:
My awesome husband spent more than an hour helping me clean up! Plus, on Saturday he did quite a bit of the cooking after arriving home around noon after being on an all night flight! What a great guy!!
One of the things that he made for us was a Monkey Bread. Everyone wanted the recipe, so here it is:
Hungry Jack Biscuit Monkey Bread
1clove garlic, pressed
1/4 cup butter or margerine, melted
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 12oz and 1 6oz package Hungry Jack Refrigerated Flaky Biscuits
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine garlic, melted butter, and dry mustard in bowl. Coat the bottom of loaf pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture (reserve the rest for topping). Separate the dough into 10 biscuits: cut each into 4 pieces with a scissors. Arrange biscuit pieces evenly in prepared pan. Drizzle reserved butter mixture over biscuit pieces. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Turn onto cooling rack, invert onto serving plate. Serve warm. 10 servings. Recipe adapted from Turning Out the Best Recipe Book from Papmered Chef and Pillsbury.
One final note: this is the link for the sqaure folded card we made. REMEMBER TO CUT THE DESIGNER PAPER TO 11x11 BEFORE SCORING!!!!

Last week I had a great group of ladies some over for a One Sheet Wonder class. The idea behind this is that you stamp up an entire sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock and then cut it apart using a specially designed template. I did this class a little over a year ago so I had a second set of cards out as an additional sample. Several of the ladies wanted to have these for future reference so that is what you will see below. For this set I used the Baroque Motif set with Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, and Really Rust inks and cardstock. Enjoy!!
I am having so much fun preparing for my upcoming One Sheet Wonder Class! I've chosen a beautiful set of spring colors and the cards are coming together nicely. I know you will love them. We will be using the Stitched Exotics stamp set along with So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Regal Rose, and Kiwi Kiss inks and cardstock. Class fee is $20 and includes everything you need to make 12 cards, including envelopes. Make a second set for only $10 more! We will meet on Monday, March 9 at 7pm at my home. Please RSVP by Monday, March 2. Bring a friend!!
If you cannot make the class date, you can purchase a "To Go" kit. The price for this kit will vary depending on whether you need the stamp set and inks or just the cardstock and accessories.

I'm not a huge heart fan but I got the Heart to Heart punch last month (Item # 113694) with the Love You Much Bundle so I decided I should find a way to use it. I found a version of these in a craft magazine and adapted them using Stampin' Up! products, including the Crimper (Item # 101618). Check them out!
Check out the Big Shot! You will not believe how convenient and easy it is to use! I've even figured out some great tricks to expand the size and use of the dies! We will create a gift bag with topper, scrapbook page, card, and party favor featuring the Top Note and Flower Layers dies and the Sweetest Stem Embossslit. RSVP by Feb 19. Cost $15. Bring a friend new to my classes and add a $4.95 Sizzlit to any order for FREE!!! Check out this preview of the Flower Layers card we will make:
