Dolphins At Play

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to share with you some

beautiful stamps I purchased this past

year from Sunday International Stamps.

I think they are in the UK now.

I love any kind of Celtic stamps and

these are wonderful.

Here is my card:

I stamped out the Celtic knots and cut it out, then airbrushed it with my Copic Airbrush

System, with two different pinks.

Then did the same thing with the dolphins,

only spraying them with two different blues.

I popped the dolphins on the knot stamp with some foam dots to give them a little dimension, then added the flower brad in the lower corner.

I added some glitter to the dolphins and the corners of the knot stamp and done.

I hope you liked my card today.

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Loving Beatrix Potter

Hi everyone,

I hope everybody is having a great Wednesday.

Today I want to share with you some

of the fun paper products from Beatrix Potter.

This is the card I made:

I love Beatrix Potter, and

Crafter's Companion,

has some of the best products to make all

kinds of projects.

I started out with a piece of green card stock.

On the front, I stamped it with pink

bubble clouds.  Then went to my stash of

Beatrix Potter Paper products:

First they have all kinds of Toppers,

Gems-Ribbons, and Rub-ons.

And to top it of they have

 Embossing-Folders.

I cut out two spellbinder dies to put

the topper on, this one is from Two-Bad-Mice.

I embossed the die cuts with the flower embossing folder.

I put down the ribbon first, and made a

bow to match. Put the dies together with foam

dots to give it some dimension, and centered that on the card. Then arranged the gems around,

and added the flowers.

The Happy Birthday sentiment came

from the topper page.

Super easy, and only took me about 15 minuets  to make. (Took me longer to clean up lol).

Don't forget about the hop that is going on

this week. Aug. 6th thru Aug. 10th.

The grand prize is a 100 dollar

gift certificate from the Crafter's Companion website store. Check it out Here.

I hope to see you there.

I am also giving away a stamp set from

the Popcorn The Bear line of stamps

called "Party Time".

So Cute!!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Sunday Dinner

Hi everyone,

I hope all of you are having a great Sunday.

Today I thought I might make something sweet.

These are called

"Cinnamon Stuffed Cupcakes"

They are so easy to make.

You start out with a box cake mix and a can of

"Schmear" Cinnamon filling.

Ingredients:

1 box cake mix, I used Pillsbury,but you can use what you like.

3 eggs

1cup of mayo (yes mayo, it makes it very moist)

1 cup apple sauce

1 can Schmear cinnamon filling

1/2 cup very soft butter

1 lg container of butter cream frosting.

Mix the eggs, mayo, and apple sauce

together first. Then add the cake mix.

Do not over mix. Fill cupcake liners

almost full and bake at 350 for 20 to 23 min.

Let cool.

In a small bowl add the cinnamon filling, the 1/2 cup of butter and mix until smooth.

( I didn't say these were low fat lol)

Put the cinnamon filling in a pipping bag,

with a tube tip, and the frosting in a bag with a star tip. If you don't have these, just scoop out a little of the cupcake and fill with the cinnamon filling and spread a little filling on top then use a small ice cream scoop to put the frosting on top.

If you do.

Pipe in the filling,  spread filling on top and decorate with icing.

If you can not find the Schmear filling in your local store, go on line and type in Schmear, it will lead you to all kinds of places to get this wonderful product. I got mine from

Nuts.com

They have all kinds of fillings and

the shipping is very fast.

I hope you liked the cupcakes today.

At least I hope I made you hungry. :)

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a great Sunday.
