Random Birthday Card

This is just a silly card that I made for my brother for his birthday. His long standing nickname has been Donut, and so I generally tie that into his birthday cards somehow. Ü This year, I made a play at one of Brian Regan's jokes with the sprinkles smooshed onto one side. Happy Birthday Donut!

Celebrate

I've been trying out a few little mosaic pieces. I thought of a friend of mine who absolutely loves neon when making this card. Ü I'm just lovin' my new jungle stamps! (could ya tell?)

Variations on a Theme

I have a knack of seriously overusing stuff that I fall in love with. Lol Ü My favorite song gets played over and over and over again until I'm sick of it, my favorite meal gets eaten at least once a week for months at a time, and this card seems to be getting made over and over again until I find a color scheme and shape that I like to go with it - but at least they all look mostly cute, right? No harm in that. Ü Plus it's a quick and easy card that I can throw together in a pinch. Now if only I could find a boy-themed card that I can do that with . . . lol Ü

Happy Father's Day!

Just a simple card for my daddy for Father's Day. Ü

Welcome Neighbor!

I had way too much fun putting together a gift for my new neighbor (sorry 'old' new neighbors Ü - I'm new to this. Please forgive the lack of cookies on your doorstep after you moved in.)

Anywho, I decided to make some butterscotchies because I thought they looked like a little pile of giraffe spots. hehe. Ü I'd show you a picture - but the rest of them were devoured before I could whip my camera out.

The sentiment inside the card read: "Welcome to the neighborhood - we hope you stay a long time!" Ü (ok, please tell me somebody gets the pun here - *crickets chirp* - blast. giraffe . . . long . . . anybody?) Well, I hope at least the neighbors got it, and if not, I hope they at least enjoyed the cookies. lol. Ü I also included the recipe so they could make them themselves if they wanted and also so that they would know that there's peanut butter in them in case somebody has a little peanut allergy. Ü

Giraffe Spot Cookies (aka Butterscotchies)

1/2 C Peanut Butter
1 - 11 oz pkg Butterscotch chips
6 C corn flakes
melting chocolate

Melt peanut butter with butterscotch chips over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in corn flakes. Spoon heaps onto wax paper and allow to dry (I use a cookie scoop so that all my cookies are roughly the same size). Melt chocolate in a squeeze bottle and drizzle chocolate over the cookies (can be done before or after they dry). Enjoy!!
