cards today

Tuesday! it's a rainy cold one here! the windows are all steamed up and I'm sitting here with a hot cuppa coffee. yum. do you have any fun family things that you do? My hubby and I played name that tune last night- or dueling youtube! LOL! my computer and the family computer are across from each other- so he was on one and I was on the other. Then we'd type in a group or singer, and find songs to stump each other. We'd let a few notes play and someone would have to yell out the name of the song. Alizabeth and DH are awesome at this game. Me - well- not so much! I have to hear the song up to the hook to even know what song it is- and DH can name Stairway to Heaven in one note. It's not quite fair- but to be honest- I win any word game. So its a balanced marriage! We used to play Balderdash with his family- it's a game where you guess definitions of words. It became a family joke that I would somewhere in the game, use the definition- a small northamerican bird found in marsh areas. SOMEONE would ALWAYS fall for it! ( the way to get points in the game was to make up a wrong definition and have others pick yours- then you to pick the correct definition of the word when the game master would read aloud everyone's definitions and the correct one. )

today I am sharing some new cards made with some older product- remember these old crate papers- love their line-shabby chic and just the touch antique looking.

I also got out my old We R Memory Keepers embossed punch outs- and used them on both cards. lots of ribbon, twine and rick rack on this one. this is based on Kazan's 12th sketch over at 2s4y. I know Halloween is just right around the corner- but i'm not feeling it this year. So I went with this family theme.

this card is also made with the Crate papers- I used my cricut- then added pearls to the end of the swirl. the flower and LOVE are cut from the embossible diecuts. I used a Martha punch for the scallops- and some bobunny lace that i adore.

I have some links for yummy projects too- PC Gourmet is preordering now-

Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits
Alisa Bangerter
This is a perfect recipe to pull out if you are short on time because there is no rolling or cutting. The cheese and garlic add extra kick to a plain biscuit, and kids love them. They are the perfect accompaniment to serve with soups or stews, and are great served with a salad.

2 tbsp. granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/4 c. milk
Chives (optional)
