Welcome the Creative Cuts and More Mega recipe hop!

Welcome to day one of the Creative Cuts and more Mega Recipe Blog hop! If you didn't come from Holly's blog, make sure to start over at the DieCut Diva blog!
Today we are focusing on the Treasured Family Recipes Kit.

Here is the cover of my book- The paper, letters, rings, book, and die cuts are all from the kit, the ribbon and button are paper trey.

And here is one of the pages- the card stock (red), die cuts, Cosmo die cut, patterned paper strip are all from the kit. The recipe stamp is Unity, and the buttons are thread are paper trey.

Zucchini with dressing
2 lbs Zucchini, partially cooked
2 large carrots, sliced
1 onion, diced
2 cups sour cream
1 can cream of celery soup
1 box Stove Top stuffing Mix
1 cube of butter

Mix first 6 ingredients together. Melt 1 cube of butter and mix in with stuffing. Layer the dressing mix with the zucchini mix in a greased 9 x 13 pan, ending with the stuffing mix on top. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Another recipe I use often this time of year- is artichoke dip- I usually have all the ingredients on hand for any impromptu get together-

1 can Artichoke hearts (not marinated)
1 cup mayo
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated.

Gently mix together on an oven baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes at 350. Serve with bread or crackers.

I can't wait to read all of the recipes- and don't forget to post yours as well and link back to the DieCut diva blog!

TGIF!

Ever have one of those realllllly long weeks? the kind where you are so looking forward to it coming to an end? Me too! My daughter did have a better day yesterday- thanks for everyone's kind words and thoughts! Each day gets a little better.


Onto Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge- Let's get thrifty! We are using brown paper wrap or paper bags. I went with a paper bag-


Here is the front of my brown paper bag card- Paper is Scenic Route, stamps are Unity.


Here is the inside view- I could have cut that little flap off, but I kind of liked it that way- I ran the kraft layers through the cuttlebug.


and just in case you weren't convinced- here is the back of the sack! ;)

yea for Thursday!

Thursday's are the best! one more day until the weekend- and here's to me hoping to sleep in at least once this weekend!! It's been a crazy long week!!
My husband is finally back at work and making up for lost time, and my poor 5 year old is having the roughest week ever at school...hoping for a great day today! Wish us luck!!!

Here we are for another Unity Thursday- Today we are having all sorts of sales over at the Unity blog- make sure to check it out-


For my card- I used some sassafras lass paper, tags, and sticker. I stamped the sentiment from the July KOM. This is one of those stamps- that you use over and over and over- it's one of my faves!

enjoy your day!

on to the Holiday season!

I had hoped to be much more productive once both kids were in school, but I am not! My daughter is having some major separation issues which we can't seem to nail down and I am at the school what seems like ALL DAY lately! Poor kid, came home with the reddest of eyes today. So, obviously, I am spending a little more time there than at home lately and am not quite as "productive" as I hoped!! :)

So, if you get the Lizzie Anne Monthly Mix newsletter- you may have already seen this. I used the November MM Christmas Wishes.
It's a jarred candle, and in a matter of 10 minutes, (8 if you can tie your bows better faster!) you will have one holiday gift ready to go!

I used some MME Christmas paper and wrapped it around, and also on the lid. Wrapped some ribbon and silver cord, added a tag and- One gift down! It's nice to have a few smaller items, hostess gifts, teacher gifts, anything last minute!!

And since I am all about having no time lately....anything I can do to get ahead!!

Flower Soft Christmas style-

Welcome-Welcome to our Christmas edition of the Flower Soft blog hop! Make sure to stop by the blog to check out the prize that is being offered!

My card uses the Cute Christmas toppers- these things are a bit addicting, they remind me of paper dolls. You can add layers as you like, or not- the dimension it adds is pretty detailed!
I added Polar White to Santa's trimmings as well as the hanging stocking.

Make sure to check the others out as well-here is the rest of the team-
