Key to My Heart FREE Printable Project

Hi Blog Friends,

Valentine's Day is almost here, so I thought it would be a good time to share a little FREE printable project with you.  The Key to My Heart Belongs to You:

The printable Heart Shaped Treat Box is super simple to assemble. Tonya added a cute tissue paper ruffle to the top edge and a pretty tulle bow to hold the cookie inside the box. 

To download a pdf version of the project, you can do so by clicking HERE for the pink version, click HERE for the blue one, and click HERE for the green one...or you can click on the images below.  (To open pdf files you need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.  If you don't have Reader, it is available as a free download on Adobe's website.)

Here's the pink one:

Here's the blue one:

And here's the green one:

I hope you enjoy the little boxes.... I'll post the cookie recipe and instructions before the weekend so you'll have a goodie to put inside.

I'm also hoping to receive some of the new stamp sets to give away before too long, so check back!

Owl Drops

Hi Blog Friends,

I decided our little Owl Gift Sack freebie in the last post needed some candy to go inside of it.  And I also decided you needed a few other sayings to go along with the projects. So here's what I came up with:

I have several recipes to share with you over the next couple of weeks or so, all yummy goodness. I'm wondering why I'm torturing myself, though... we're going to go visit our son (who recently returned from Iraq, yay!) in Hawaii soon and I've been trying to diet.  (Yup...still trying to work off the Chocolate Coconut Macadamia balls from the last trip, lol!).  So just so you know... you guys really are worth it!  

(Yep, that's Camille Roskelley's brand new fabric from the Bliss fabric line in the photo... I'm creating a little stuffed owl sewing pattern, I'll share it with you when I finish it.) 

The recipe is quick and easy, but I warn you.... very addicting!  You can click on the image below and the recipe will open as a pdf document, which you can print.  (In order to view a pdf document you need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.  If you don't have Reader, it's available as a free download on Adobe's website.  Here's the recipe:

The recipe is meant to fit in the Recipe Book project I featured on the blog awhile back. Here's what the book looks like:

If you're interested in making the project, you can click HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE for the posts that featured the book project tutorial, free patterns and recipe card.  For other recipes that fit inside the book click HERE, HERE and HERE.  I'll be adding many recipes between now and the holidays, so that you have a complete project you can hopefully use as a holiday gift. 

AND!  Here's the sheet of owl label cutouts you can use on the clear bag shown in the photo at the top of this post.  Just print the sheet on bright white card stock and cut out the images.  Layer with double sided foam mounting tape, then attach to the clear bag.  The clear bag will fit inside the printable gift sack, or you can use the clear bag of goodies separately as a quick and easy gift for someone special.


Same as above, the cutout file is a pdf.  You can click on it and it will open in a new window which you can print it from.

And speaking of Hawaii.... I'm still trying to decide whether or not to take Ted along again this time.... it was kind of hard to keep track of him at times last year, lol.  For his Hawaii escapades you can click HERE to see what I mean. What do you guys think... should I take him along?   Let me know!   hehehe.  :)

I'll be sharing some Owl Cookies with you in a few days, so be sure to check back!

I thought I'd share a quick and easy little printable freebie with you.  I'll be showing you more about this stamp set and there will be a Stamp Set GIVEAWAY when I get home from the Arlington, Texas Great American Scrapbook show.  (Be sure to check back on Wednesday if you will be attending the show, there will be coupons for you here.)

Here's the little Gift Bag:

If you want to download the printable pages in an easy to print pdf format, you can click HERE, and HERE, and HERE.  To open a pdf document you need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.  If you don't have Reader, it is available as a free download on Adobe's website.  When the website opens, just click on the tab that says "Get Adobe Reader".

OR... you can click on each of the images below and they will open in a new window.  You can print the pages from the new window.  Here's the pages:

Print each of the pages on a bright white cardstock.  It's pretty quick and easy to assemble and makes a great way to present someone special with a little homemade treat, or a small gift.

Be sure to check back, I'll be showing you the stamp set that coordinates with this project and will be having a FREE DRAWING for that stamp set.  Sometime in the next couple of weeks I will also be randomly drawing names from comments on various posts and having an instant winner freebie, so be sure to leave a comment on the recent posts to be eligible for those drawings.

I hope you enjoy the project and I'll see you soon!

Sunday Morning Pancakes

Hi Blog Friends,

I think it's time for another recipe to put in the book we made in THIS post and in THIS post.  
 

This is my oldest grandson's favorite meal... homemade Sunday morning pancakes.  He used to spend the night with us every Saturday night and the pancakes were always a must on Sunday morning.  He and his family moved away recently, so I haven't made these in a few months.... but I thought maybe you'd enjoy them also.

You can download an easy to print pdf version of the recipe by clicking HERE.  You need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer in order to open pdf files.  If you don't have Reader, it's available from Adobe as a free download by clicking HERE.  Once the Adobe website opens, click on the tab that says "Get Adobe Reader". 

OR, you can click on the picture of the recipe above and it will open in a new window.  You can print the page from the new window.

I hope you enjoy the recipe and I hope you're enjoying some beautiful Spring weather!

Wedded Bliss

Hi Blog Friends,

I thought I'd share this stamp set with you, since it's getting to be that season.... summer weddings!  This set of Cling Mounted Red Rubber stamps is from my new Spring batch of stamps.  It's JCS122 Wedded Bliss, and it retails for $24.95.  Here's the stamp set:
 
Here are a few of the samples Tonya made with this set:

I really like this car with the bridal veil flying out the window.  Tonya added stitched accents and the acrylic gems to most of these projects.  Here's another one:

And one more card:

Cute, simple and quick.  Here's another project using my Bottle Sack Pattern.  The Bottle Sack Pattern includes 3 sizes of bags and is the perfect way to package a bottle of wine or champagne for the special couple.  The Bottle Sack Pattern is item #TBX12 and it retails for $6.99.

And here's one last idea for this stamp set.  This one uses my new Acrylic Shadowbox Frame #ACR20 Raine Large.  This frame measures 7 3/8" x 7 3/8" and retails for $7.99.   Really? Really, $7.99!  I think it's an amazing price (and manufactured right here in the USA).

The frame includes the backing chipboard, three layers of chipboard in the shape of the frame (these are the "shadowbox" layers), the acrylic front (which is protected by blue plastic that peels off), and the frame clips.  Here's a photo of the frame without the embellishments:

There are so many ways to use these frames.  Be sure to download the Spring Flyer, if you haven't already done so, it contains dozens of ideas.  You can download it by clicking HERE or if you want to take a look at all of the flyers available for download, they're listed at the top of the red bar to the right.

Here are the papers used on all of the projects shown here:

  

Each of the papers are available in four different sizes:

PA's are 8 1/2" x 11" text weight paper - .47¢ each
PAC's are 8 1/2" x 11" printed card stock - .89¢ each
PTW's are 12" x 12" text weight paper - .85¢ each
SPAC's are 12" x 18" printed card stock - $1.39 each  

If you're interested in ordering any of the items shown here, you can call toll free 1-800-945-3980.  (We're still hoping the website will be done before TOO many more months go by!  We're starting over from scratch on a new one.)

AND NOW....I'll bet you're interested in who the lucky winner is for the Bird Song set of stamps that was featured in last week's post.

OK, I used the random number generator to choose a name.... and the lucky winner is.....
