MY CRICUT CRAFT ROOM RECIPE/BAKING HOP SERVING SIZE-DOUBLE DUTY!

 

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's Recipe/Baking Blog Hop. To start from the beginning click here , you can also see the whole line up. If you just arrived from Tracy's blog then you are on the right track.


The reason why I said this recipe serves as double duty is because I am entering it in the PKS "Let's Face it Friday" Holiday Recipe Challenge. I love this recipe & thought it would be perfect for the Blog Hop & PKS' challenge with their cute little faces! 


Before I proceed with my post, I have to say that this is NOT my recipe! I got it from Sarah's blog PINK CRICUT a while back. I can't seem to find it on her blog now, so I will put the recipe down below. My family LOVES this bread, especially with chili or taco soup. Saturday's dinner is set...Chili & Beer Bread!!! :D

I love the retro look-think I may make a recipe book with this theme 

I used the Cuttin' Up cart to weld the letters together for the title-

Cardstock is "Shimmer" by DCWV

The bottle is from the Block Party cart, you can't really tell from the photo, but I used acetate to make it look more like a bottle & the cute little face is from PKS Retro Doll Assortment

I used From the Kitchen for the bread & another cute little face from the same PKS set

I used PTI craft cardstock & just used some Tim Holtz distress ink for the crust.

The patterned cardstock is DCWV Nana's Kitchen & then just used some rickrack ribbon from my stash.

Beer Bread Recipe (Super Simple)

3 Cups Sifted Flour

3 tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Salt

1/4 Cup Sugar

12 oz. of Beer your choosing, I've always used a Pale Ale or Honey Wheat

1/4-1/2 Cup Melted Butter

Preheat oven to 375

Mix ingredients together with spoon or your hands (it will be sticky), then put it in a well greased bread pan. Brush or ladle the butter over the bread & bake for 1 hour, transfer to cooling rack & let sit for 15 minutes before taking out of pan. 

That's it, like I said..super simple!!!

Next is Sheila & I know she has something sweet for you!

As always, Gilby & I love your comments, his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!

MY CREATIVE TIME DESIGN TEAM CALL!!! "PUPPY HUGS"

Hi Everyone!
I'm soooo excited about this post today because I'm entering it for a DT position at MCT!!!
Yes, you read that correctly...Emma from MCT is having a DT call!!! When I saw her post the other day I just about peed my pants from the excitement (I know, probably a TMI thing, huh), but it's true!!! I have been such a HUGE fan of Emma's for a very long time now, no offense to all you wonderful bloggers out there, but her blog has to be one of my all time favorites!!! Her designs are always sooo cute and I love her videos, she has been such an inspiration for me!!! 


I am in LOVE with her stamps and dies, they are like no other and they are made by the same great manufacturer as PKS!!! In fact it was Emma who turned me on to PKS, those adorable little faces are just priceless. They both have their own drawer in my craft room specifically for them!!! I have never been on a DT before, but I would LOVE for my 1st experience to be on Emma's, she is one of the sweetest and most patient people (except for may Veronica who did my blog, lol)I know out there in Bloggerville!!! Her current DT is AMAZING and I would consider it a HUGE honor to be on her DT with them!!! Seriously people, even if I weren't trying out for her DT, I totally mean every word of this, because it's true!!! I just LOVE Emma, I admit to stalking her, but only in the blogger sort of way of course. :D


I knew exactly what I wanted to make for this project, I wanted to showcase my new blog and my LOVE for Gilby and my "Puppy Hugs" sign off. Those of you who follow my blog know that I recently had a makeover by the very talented Veronica, it turned out better than I had ever hoped!!! I actually got the idea of "Puppy Hugs" from Miss Emma, as her sign off is "Gypsy Hugs". Early on, I asked her if she was okay with me using it and of course she didn't mind at all, she thought it was funny that I was even asking, LOL!
I'm sooo proud of how this turned out, I think it's probably my favorite card I've made!!! I hope Emma and her DT like it, I know that there are going to be tons of Awesome entries which will make it very hard for her to make a decisions and mine most likely won't make the cut, but at least I can say I tried (thanks Glora!)

Sorry about the photos, not sure what happened :(

~Materials Used~

Stamps~MCT "Anyday Bingo and Crossword" (letters for "Hugs" and Paw Print for bakground)

"Build A Banner Kit" (Houndstooth background for star shaped die)

PKS "Happy-go-lucky Dog Face Assortment" the 1" size

Dies~MCT "Build A Banner Kit" (all dies for banner)

Cuttlebug (for all dies)

Cricut Cart~Paper Doll for Every Day (Gilby, cut @ 3" 3 times w/E-2)

Cricut Imagine (gray cardstock for Gilby-) *See note below*

Cardstock~Colorbok (White for Imagine)~AC Textured (Black & Red)

Twine~PTI

Ribbon~M.S. (sorry don't know the name)

Heart Punch

Foam Tape

*Since Gilby is mostly gray and white and I didn't have any gray cardstock, I looked up the RGB code on the web and found a gray I liked (R185/G185/B184), then used my Imagine to flood fill a white piece of cardstock with the gray, I love that about the Imagine!!! 


I'm sorry this post has been so long, but I want everyone to know how I feel about Emma, her blog (MCT) and her stamps and dies!!!
Hope you enjoyed my card and wish me luck!!! :D


As always Gilby and I love comments...his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!!!

PKS TUESDAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all having a great Labor Day weekend!
I went to go see my son's first football game yesterday, it was not a pretty sight. They were crushed by guys twice their size!!! Was wonderful to see him though & to spend some time with him after the game!!! I miss my bubbaloo sooo much!!!

Anyway, on to the card I made for the most recent PKS Sketch Challenge #59. This one had a twist, you had to add buttons. I'm a HUGE PKS fan, so it was really fun to participate!!! I hope you like my little butterfly, my mother-in-law loves butterflies, so I thought I would send it to her.



Recipe:
I used Faceless Bugs (for the wings & body) from PKS. The set comes with some cute little faces, but I decided to use one from the Everyday Character set instead. I used a marker to stamp the body, so, I could use the other face, otherwise it wouldn't have fit. Hope that makes sense. lol
Made the Antennas from black coated wire
"Smile" is from-PBD Scripted Years (my favorite set of hers)
Momento Ink Tuxedo Ink pad
Green Cardstock is DCWV
Purple Color is one I created on my Imagine (one of the best things about that machine)
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder-Swiss Dots
Ribbons & Buttons are from stash

Gilby & I just LOVE your comments...his tail just wags away when he see's me smile!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
