CSS Recipe Blog Hop

It's time for another CSS Blog hop!

Several members of the CenterStage Spotlight Alumni team have gathered some of our favorite BBQ Picnic recipes together to make another cookbook! The cookbook will be available for FREE over on the StampTV Freebie page for you to download and print at your leisure.

But, since we are paper crafters - we were challenged to make a project with our recipe in mind to share tonight on our blogs! (The projects are also included in photos on the recipe booklet as well.)

I shared a favorite recipe for Picnic Coleslaw (from a Cooking with Paula Deen magazine) and it is so delicious, beautiful AND healthy! It is a favorite anytime we are grilling :o)

Please check out the links of all the participating designers and then download the Recipe booklet and let us know how you like them!

Lazy Days of Summer

I am so glad that summer is finally here. I thoroughly enjoy the lazy days of summer...from days swimming, baseball games and other summer activities I enjoy it all and the fact that there is no "set" schedule is just a bonus!  I made this card using the stamp sets Sporty Accessories and Lazy Days of Summer.  The circles were made using a large sponge dauber inked up with Bashful Blue ink.  I wanted to keep the card somewhat clean and simple so tried not to fuss with it too much.  
Have a great day!

Lazy Days

Summer vacation has officially started and I am glad for the break from the school routine!  I made this card for the fun sketch challenge on StampTV last week by Melissa.  It really is a fun sketch and and is full of possibilities!  I may try using this sketch for some Christmas cards :o)  I created mine using the stamp set Lazy Days of Summer and the colors Wild Wasabi, Luxury White and some fun My Minds Eye designer paper.  I colored each image with Copics and thought the ribbon matched perfectly.  Just a nice summery card...the green background I ran through my Cuttlebug using the Tiny Bubbles folder.  

It is a nice size card that is different than the standard size cards I usually make.  

Have a great day!
