<br />
Last Sunday was Art Day at my house again and it was another fun, fun day! Whenever us girls get together, we always have <strike>too much</strike> lots of food. This time around, we decided to all make a new recipe from Pinterest. Well...I guess we were all a little excited about it because I don't think any one of us did just one recipe! We had LOTS of food and all ate until we were stuffed! It was sooo good, though!<br />
<br />
Then, as if that wasn't good enough, we also decided to make a recipe card (6x6 size) of our new creation to put in our ever-growing recipe books we've made. Here are the two I made. They are both super-duper-easy recipes to create. Trust me, they were simple-but that just makes them all the better, right?? (and as always, click on the photos to enlarge them)<br />

Now, if you know me at all, you also know I like to go with a theme of some sort. Well, Pinterest to the rescue again. I went with a Halloween theme. Just check out the table legs...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whatdya think?? <br />
<br />
If you haven't checked out Pinterest yet, I suggest you do...unless you have no time, because it will suck you in and you may not come up for air anytime soon! It is an online board chock-full of ideas for just about anything you can imagine. You just "pin" your favorites and can come back to look at them later. If you are already on Pinterest, just click on my link in the left column to follow me there.<br />

I know I sure can't! My nieces (along with all of your kids, I'm sure) will be back in school tomorrow. I am ready for all the games, but I am not ready for summer to be over!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With all those changes also comes a new Stamp of the Month, Fall Favorites. It really was a favorite of mine. I was lucky enough to get to create the artwork for our little group using this fun set. I used the new Clementine paper pack along with our new alcohol markers. These new little babies are great! I have never been one to like coloring in my stamped images, but now with these new markers, it is fun and easy (I really can't believe I just said that!)<br />
<br />
Take a look at the artwork I created...<br />

This is a set that you either love it or hate it. I was more on the hate it side (I know, I should never tell you something like that...) Well, let me just say that I have changed my mind.<br />

Sheri took this set and look at what she created with it!! She was really thinking outside the box this time around and created some wonderful artwork. She put it down on my table and I was wondering what it was for. Stamp of the Month NEVER even crossed my mind! That's how creative she got this time around.<br />

It could be yours for only $49.50 :) It has 698 brand new images for you to use.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Stay tuned for more pictures of new (and old) stuff :)<br />
<br />
Happy Scrappin'<br />

What a beautiful day it was (although quite HOT). Yes, I said HOT! We had over a week of very hot and humid weather (and yes, I do still live in Wisconsin!) Our weather was hotter here than down south even!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are a few pictures of our fun...<br />

Here are a couple more recipes for you, too. The first is for S'more Bites. They were so easy to make and much neater to eat than the originals. Just as good, minus the campfire.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-83VAgWB1XCg/T_u6IeAFfMI/AAAAAAAAEZQ/6yglwf9zmLM/s1600/4th+of+July+2012+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-83VAgWB1XCg/T_u6IeAFfMI/AAAAAAAAEZQ/6yglwf9zmLM/s320/4th+of+July+2012+009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed)<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 cup powdered sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6 tablespoons butter, melted</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 bars (1.55 oz each) milk chocolate candy, divided</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
12 large marshmallows</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place graham crackers into a large
resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. Combine graham cracker
crumbs, powdered sugar, and butter in a small bowl.<br />
Place 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture in each cup of a mini muffin pan.
Firmly press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until
edges are bubbling. (I discovered how easy it was to form the shells by using my cookie scoop - 1 scoopful was just the right amount and the back of the scoop worked well to press them into the tin).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IXt9CrQuVd0/T_u5p52r4JI/AAAAAAAAEZA/5VS-LoPTH4I/s1600/4th+of+July+2012+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IXt9CrQuVd0/T_u5p52r4JI/AAAAAAAAEZA/5VS-LoPTH4I/s320/4th+of+July+2012+007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into
rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rYfGSVfDuKs/T_u56qErUYI/AAAAAAAAEZI/njN0oZIzzaA/s1600/4th+of+July+2012+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rYfGSVfDuKs/T_u56qErUYI/AAAAAAAAEZI/njN0oZIzzaA/s320/4th+of+July+2012+008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using shears dipped in cold water.
Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven
1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are slightly softened. Remove pans
from oven to cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from
pan. Cool completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Break remaining candy bars and place in small microwavable bowl.
Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth,
stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted
chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 to 60 minutes or until set.
Makes 24 cups.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The next recipe is for Sand Pudding. You've heard of Dirt Cake? Well, same idea only it looks like sand instead of dirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 pkg Vanilla Wafers<br />
3 or 4 Oreos<br />
8 oz Cream Cheese<br />
1/4 C Butter<br />
2/3 C powdered sugar<br />
2 small pkgs French Vanilla pudding mix<br />
2 3/4 C Milk<br />
12 oz Cool Whip<br />
<br />
Crush Oreos and Vanilla Wafers in a food processor. In a separate bowl,
cream together softened 8 oz cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar.
In another bowl, mix pudding with milk. Add to cream cheese mixture.
Fold in cool whip. Layer into buckets with sand, pudding, sand etc. </div>

I found both of these recipes on Pinterest...imagine that!</div>

I can hardly wait to spend time with all my "sistas" and to learn, learn, learn. I will have lots of fun new stuff for you when I get back!!<br />

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. It is a bittersweet holiday for me as the 5th marked 3 years since my daughter passed away. I refuse to let it get me down, though. I had a wonderful day with my family. My 3 nieces mean the world to me and I couldn't love them any more than if they were my own!<br />

We made a trip up north to visit Grant and Lori at the campground (and play in the pool) and then headed even further north to visit with Mom and Norm. We missed out on the big picnic, but got to relax and visit a little anyway :)<br />

I made some Rice Krispie bars to bring along and I thought I'd share the recipe with you. I know, I know...you're thinking, (what in the world, have I never made them before, don't you think I know how?) Well, let me tell you, these are better than your average Krispie bars. There is a little addition to them that just makes them all the better. You may never go back to plain old Krispie bars again!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k3NqVpg9Mz0/T_uxuepRfPI/AAAAAAAAEX0/Y_og-yHC-WM/s1600/4th+of+July+2012+164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k3NqVpg9Mz0/T_uxuepRfPI/AAAAAAAAEX0/Y_og-yHC-WM/s320/4th+of+July+2012+164.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
3 Tbsp. butter<br />
1 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows<br />
1/3 cup yellow cake mix (dry, not mixed into a batter)<br />
6 cups Rice Krispie cereal<br />
1 (1.75 oz.) container sprinkles<br />
<br />
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir
until they begin to melt, adding in (dry) cake mix one spoonful at a
time so its combined. Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with
marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press
into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles.
Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting.<br />
<br />
I told you, they're good :)<br />
<br />
Happy Scrappin'<br />

Place an online order of $75 or more in July and<br />
we’ll send you a popular paper packet and coordinating<br />
accessory—a Perfect Pair—for free! That’s<br />
a retail value of up to $17.90! Different Perfect<br />
Pairs are available on different dates throughout<br />
the month so you’ll want to place more than one<br />
qualifying order to snatch several Perfect Pairs.<br />
Place your order early in the availability<br />
period, as the promotion is while supplies last.<br />

It really was a fun day...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iPIUsuKssUU/T-ZbKXZHIwI/AAAAAAAAEVI/sf7Xa-wkgCo/s1600/tammy_hellstern_convention2012_-_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iPIUsuKssUU/T-ZbKXZHIwI/AAAAAAAAEVI/sf7Xa-wkgCo/s320/tammy_hellstern_convention2012_-_3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
In this Studio J layout, we learned how to:<br />
<br />* Add a photo mat behind a photo using a journaling box<br />
* Use letters as embellishments<br />
* Add "tabs" of cardstock with journaling boxes<br />
* Create a title using several journaling boxes<br />
* Use a My Stickease image to make a border<br />
<br />
Doesn't it sound like we've been learning a lot? Well, we have. Some of it is new to me and some of it is just a reminder that I can do so much more with the layouts in Studio J if I so desire. It is so fast and easy to "fill in the blanks" with Studio J with what they have 'pre-designed' for us, BUT...the sky is the limit if we choose to do so much more! I love that!<br />

Our annual Close To My Heart Convention is only a few short weeks away and as one of the perks of registering this year, corporate gave us each 5 free layouts to create. We will receive them when we get to Dallas, Texas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XylOdhiDaGI/T-ZXoFpySeI/AAAAAAAAEUo/O3a_hXViqRs/s1600/tammy_hellstern_convention2012_-_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XylOdhiDaGI/T-ZXoFpySeI/AAAAAAAAEUo/O3a_hXViqRs/s320/tammy_hellstern_convention2012_-_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
In this layout, we learned how to:<br />
*Alter the look by changing the colors of B&T papers<br />
* Rotate a page<br />
* Use a vellum text box to lighten a color<br />
* Convert a photo well to a text box<br />
* Create our own embellishments<br />
<br />
Want to learn how to do all of this for yourself? I would be happy to teach you how!<br />
<br />
Layouts are so fun and easy to create when you have such fun subjects as my nieces and when you have such an easy program to use as Studio J :) <br />
<br />

We were all at our Crop for a Cure last month and she brought these little albums for us girls. She found the tins at Walmart (I think anyway). They are actually gift card holders. Of course, she is always thinking and decided to make them into mini albums.<br />

Iris is the most adorable baby! This is us on Iris' first ever scrapping day at Beaver Lake Landing (a great retreat house we go to a few times a year). I had to take some time out from scrapping to hold this precious little one (and teach her a thing or two about the movies we watch while we are there - Matthew McConaughey is a MUST!) LOL!<br />

Well, it finally happened last night. I started on this little project and didn't quit until it was done :)<br />
<br />
My friend Holly had posted a frame she made-over on facebook and she really inspired me! I had a frame sitting here that would work perfect for this project. I also had photos in mind to use in it.<br />
<br />
The frame is a cheapy that just caught my eye (I can't remember if it was at Bargain Bill's or the Dollar Store, though). I see unique frames and buy them to use for projects at a later time. So when I had this inspiration, I already had the perfect frame in mind. The only thing I bought were these cute little clothespins (found them at Archiver's...they just jumped out at me, so it was my tiny purchase for the day!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-542abRq8JKc/T8Nur6NXRzI/AAAAAAAAEP8/Y4pvliKCags/s1600/frame+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-542abRq8JKc/T8Nur6NXRzI/AAAAAAAAEP8/Y4pvliKCags/s320/frame+001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Isn't it just adorable? Banners are all the rage right now, so I thought I'd use them in my frame. It's hard to tell, but the banners are popped up off the frame. I used photo hangers to tie my hemp to, and then hang the banners from the hemp using those mini clothespins. Of course, I <i>thought</i> I had the pennant alphabet stamp set, and discovered that I didn't. I could have just waited to borrow it from one of my friends, but if you know me, once I start something, I have no patience and I want to get it done. I improvised and made my own banner alpha! Easy peasy :)<br />
<br />

We started out the day having lunch at Rosa Mexicano's in downtown Minneapolis. We had eaten at Rosa's a couple years back when we were in Washington DC and now that one was opened closer to home, we figured we just 'had' to go try it out.<br />
<br />
See, there is quite the story behind that whole thing. When we first went there, everyone was raving about how good the guacamole was - and they come table-side to make it right in front of you. Well, the girls all wanted to order it. That was fine with me, I figured I'd just eat those yummy chips with salsa instead since I didn't like guacamole (now remember, the only guac I'd ever had was the pasty stuff you can buy in a store). Well, fast forward to when it was sitting right in front of me and I gave it a taste...I LOVED it! Now the joke is that I've loved it my whole life!<br />
<br />
So, off we went yesterday to Rosa's and the guacamole. It was fabulous :) The only downside to the place is that the setting just didn't do it for me. It was far too upscale for a Mexican joint (at least for my tastes). It did, however, fit right in with the Minneapolis setting. Here are a few pictures from our fun adventure yesterday...from making the guacamole at our table to our pomegranate margarita and sangria drinks, to paying the bill.<br />

Of course, while there, we <i>had</i> to stop in at Archiver's. While there, I purchased (among other things) an Artist Printer's Tray. I had grand ideas floating in my head of what to do with it (actually, I bought 2 different ones, but will have to wait to show you the other one once I get it completed. Gotta wait for some more photos to finish that one.)<br />
<br />
I happened to have all these engagement photos of my niece and her fiance since I will be creating the guest book for their wedding. I found a great use for just a few of those photos in this tray. I think it turned out great and can't wait to give it to them as a shower gift.<br />

Well, did I do it justice? I impressed myself with this creation - especially since I did it all on my own and had nothing to scrap-lift from! I only hope the one I make for myself turns out half as great (NO, it will not have engagement photos in it, either! LOL!)<br />
<br />
I am off for another fun filled day with Lynn today, I wonder what finds I'll come up with this time... <br />
