♥Sweetheart mini album♥

2012-02-02T00:56:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone today i'm sharing a mini Album designed for

♥The Scraping Cottage using the beautiful Valentines Cottage Cutz.♥

So for my album I used the SweetHeart Flower Cottage Cutz,to make my flowers for this album. I will have a tutorial coming soon on this. I didnt get to finish my album due to having my 2nd surgery, but all is going well, and when i finish it i will post more pictures for you all to see. Now I used the tags for the front pocket, i put 3 in there. And then used the darling oval one for the front, i figured it could have the title added later. :)

The Love tags are a perfect size for any card,page, or album.

For this top page i used the Sweet Sign Shape with the wording Sweet! LOVe this shape its a perfect sweet sign. I added some pearls to the sign too with some little white gel dots. Now I also made a matte for a photo, and then added one of the new darling tags from The Love Tag Set

For this next page there is another photo matte and i was thinking of adding some tags, if i do i will take more pictures and post them later with the rest of my book.

These flowers are also from the Sweetheart Flower Cottage Cutz, and there are sooo many different flowers to be made with this one set. LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!

I used all valentine design papers for my album, and ribbon is all from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used the beautiful pleated ribbons, and the satins,leaves, and lace. All can be found here/

. All flowers were made with card stock and some were distressed.. I used Scrap Dots for the dimension on my flowers, its a liquid glue, and works perfect for flowers.

I was going to share a photo album I had started prior to my surgery on thursday,which by the way went well from what my hubby said. :) Im still in pain, but im sure that will go away soon.

♥So instead i made flowers in bed and then did my layout. Hubby took the pictures for me, thank you Jerry!!!♥

I love the look of the leaves wrapped around the flowers , its super easy to do, and gives my paper flowers some leaves:)

So I used 3 ribbons for the border across my page, and then I used the green leaves for around my handmade paper flowers♥♥♥Video coming soon♥♥♥

♥Supplies Used♥

Double Ruffled Edge Pink 7/8"

Satin Pink Ribbon tied into knots

Moss Green Leaves

My SWEETHEART flowers are cut out with Cottage Cutz Sweetheart flower cottage cutz, I Love making my own paper flowers. and in the centers of all my flowers is some martha stewart glitter that i bought about 4 years back.

2012-01-22T01:04:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone today I wanted to share my ♥Victorian Valentine Card♥ made for The Scrapping Cottage using all Valentine's Cottage Cutz.

♥First I used the Filigree Hearts( the double hearts) 2 of them for behind my tag. I distressed all my pieces using tim holtz tea ink and a duster. I ♥ using the duster to dust and distress my ink, its super easy to do, much easier than dabbing.

♥ The tag was cut using the Love Tag Set 4 x 6 and my Key was cut using the Vintage Key cottage Cutz and the stamp that comes with it.

♥The little Flowers were all layered and they came from the Whimsy Bird and Cage Cottage Cutz.

♥♥♥I added pearls to the flowers,bird cage and the corners of my card.

♥♥♥Cottage Cutz Die's Used♥♥♥

4 x 6 Love Tag Set

4 x 6 Filigree Hearts

4 x 6 Whimsy Bird and Cage

4 x 4 Vintage Key

I used seam binding from♥♥ Really Reasonable Ribbon♥♥ in PINK

and i just took one piece from the edge of it and pulled on it to scrunch it so its gathered up. I tied it to the bird cage and the key.

Next I made a bow and then gathered the ends. I glued it to a feather, and then added a button to the center of my bow.

♥Whimsy Bird and Cage♥

♥Love Tags Set 4 x 6♥

♥Filigree Hearts 4 x 6 ♥

Update on my ankle-

Well most of you know ive been dealing with trying to get the open wound from where my bone had broke through on the one side of my ankle, well its not going to close up since the skin doesnt want to grow over the screw that is showing through my wound, yes its gross, of course now im use to it. Ive been in bed and up until last wednesday was told i can now have it down for longer periods of time. Anyways i was also sent to see a specialist who now wants to remove the hardware so this wound can close up and we wont have to worry about infection . This has been a 3 month ordeal and im still not walking , nor have we even thought about therapy, i have a LONG Road ahead and im hoping this new year will bring me back to walking soon.....hehehehehe

Ok i hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you again for stopping by and all your wonderful SWEET comments!!

Oreo Truffles

2011-12-09T07:43:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all! Todays post was made for Really Reasonable Ribbons Holiday Sharing Week. All Design Team Members will be sharing a recipe :)

Today I'm sharing a recipe that my son loves to make :) My gift bag with ribbon was designed using Really Reasonable Ribbon's Beautiful Satins!

Now, I've never made these before. I'm more of a cook, not a baker...hehehehehehe. My son loves making these oreo truffles and he does an awesome job on them. They are sooooo YUMMY!

Oreo Recipe-

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1 pkg. (16.6 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 4-1/4 cups), 1 pkg white chocolate for coating these just melt so many squares in the microwave and if you need more do moreDirections-

MIX cream cheese and 3 cups cookie crumbs until well blended.

SHAPE into 48 (1-inch) balls. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

To easily coat truffles with the melted chocolate, add truffles, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 spoons to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove truffles with spoons, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place truffles on prepared baking sheet; let stand until firm

use wax paper on baking sheet .

HOW TO STORE

Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

Supplies used-

Really Reasonable Ribbons Red Satin

Really Reasonable Ribbons White Satin with Gold edge

Mr.Chef Mouse & Snowlady Chef

2011-11-22T09:23:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone, today's post is for The Scrapping Cottage using these DARLING cottage cutz. Sorry I dont have a project to share today, iv'e been really sick since Friday night and haven't felt like crafting or doing much of anything.

I think these sweeties would look DARLING on Recipe Cards, so im thinking for my next Cottage Cutz post I will have a recipe card to share with you all.

First up is Snowlady Chef-

I cut all her pieces out with a wide column card stock, thats what gives the lines in her. Next I distressed her with a blue ink, for her apron i distressed with a pink and same for her cupcake top. The heart,bottom of apron,holly berry,cupcake wrapper,and wooden spoon are all colored with copics. Her pan hat is colored with 3 different grey copic markers. Lastly I added some stickles to her pearls and the cupcake icing.

Next is Mr.Chef Mouse-

I used Tim Hotlz distress inks for most of his highlighting, the bow,bowtie,and spatula i colored with copics. His chef cap, and his apron i distressed with antique linen, Mr. Chef was cut out with grey card stock and then distress a tad with a shade of blue. For his green outfit i used a tim hotlz green that i had next to me.

I thank you all for stopping by, and have really enjoyed receiving your lovely comments :)

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

I went to the doctors today and had my stitches out, and this is what i came home with :) a PINK cast!! hehehehe it does make life a little easier than what i was wearing, but its still painful. Of course im still bed bound since i have to have it up high, and I have way too many levels of stairs in my home. So I stay on the 4th floor.

Also my daughter painted my toe nails to match my cast :) thank you Britney!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
