Chalkboard Christmas....

I saw a great piece of Scripture

in a store a few weeks ago

and put it in my "Create" book

so I could make my own.

I love the Chalkboard art and

used My Digital Studio (Stampin' Up!) and a 

great set of free fonts to create this

Scripture Art for my house 

this year at Christmas.

Enjoy your Christmas Holiday Season...

and spread the Word...Christ the Lord was born

as the Greatest Gift ever given.

Hugs!

...for some Gratitude!

With Thanksgiving this week, I thought

I would share a few cards with y'all!

This is the first...

Created with My Digital Studio

for the card base - I then added

the sentiment with the "Day of Gratitude"

stamp set from Stampin' Up! 

on Summer Starfruit cardstock

with Chocolate Chip Ink.

The small acorn came from the

same stamp set and was colored with 

markers in colors of Chocolate Chip 

and Crumb Cake.

The ribbon of accent color is 

Riding Hood Red. 

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday and 

may it be filled with family, fellowship, fun and food! :)

Christmas Scrapbooks

Christmas scrapbooks are a 

favorite in our family, 

but I must confess...

I'm not sure I will ever catch up!

I love the idea of creating the scrapbooks in

My Digital Studio because it gives me hope that

one day my books could be finished.

I'm also the gal that loves the hands on touch of creating each page,

putting just the right embellishment on the special spot and selecting

just the right colors and papers.  My Digital Studio is great in that 

way as well as I can print digital pages on my HP wide format printer and

use them just as if they were original 12" x 12" DSPs.

This Scrapbook page was created in a mere 10 minutes with 

My Digital Studio and is my feature today for the 

2013 Christmas Countdown.

Enjoy your merry moments and capture 

them for future generations to cherish!

Halloween Purse of Treats

This year I found the most delicious candy corn - - -

S'Mores Candy Corn...yummy!

I decorated this food safe acrylic purse with DSP 

and cardstock elements created on my Cricut.

Then I created a tag for the purse with fun framelits 

and a label created in My Digital Studio.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today for a day of 

Halloween Sweet Treat posts.

Fabulous Friday Recipe

It's another Fabulous Friday and here's this week's recipe...

Butternut Squash Soup...Ta-Dah!!

I love when Autumn arrives!  

There's something about the change of season - - -

- - -  when the leaves begin to change colors, 

the mornings are a little cooler and 

the sun goes down a little sooner in the evenings.

I love various soups and wanted to share a great recipe this 

week for some wonderful Butternut Squash Soup.

Healthy and delicious - sure to become 

a Fall favorite for your family. 

Remember - it's easy to save this recipe.

To celebrate, here is another Fabulous Friday Recipe to share.

I love this awesome - and easy - Taco Casserole.
It was a recipe my daughter, who was 10 at the time,
found for her first time she wanted to learn to cook.  

This recipe is quick and easy and is
sure to be a "winner" on the dinner table.

A Christmas Treat Topper for You

Today's Christmas Countdown Freebie is a sweet Treat Topper 

that you can save and print for this year's Christmas treats.

Whether you plan to gift a clear treat sack of
cookies or handmade gift tags, this would
be a fabulous addition to your treat sack.

This could also be used on the top of a cute 

paper sack that was colored or plain, as well.

Save this mage, add image to blank page in program of your choosing 

(I usually choose from Word, Photoshop or MS Publisher),

 print, trim and fold in half for the treat bag of your 

choosing and then staple to secure to the top.

I created this great topper using My Digital Studio 

and the original size of the image is 4.25" x 5.5".

If you have a printer that allows for Borderless printing you can 

lay a series of these images out to fit 4 to a page.

Enjoy!

RECIPE - Stress Relief Detox Drink

Well Friday has come and gone and was so busy

RECIPE - Texas Gold Bars

would be new fun features and Fabulous Friday Recipes

Our son Matt turned 26 on Monday and WOW we are proud of him!! What great parents he and Alexis already are to our new granddaughter, Lilyanne. Lilyanne Evangeline was resting well at home in College Station turning a whole week old.
