Feel Better Soup

Happy weekend!! I can't believe it is Friday already boy time flies when you are busy.  This week the All That Scrap Digi team is using some of our favorite digis to create anything but a card.  We have a very special lady that works in the office at school who had surgery this week so I made her some Get Well Chicken Noddle Soup, which is very tasty by the way.  I used C.C. Designs Nurse Nora which happens to be my favorite get well image, she is just so sweet.  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Poppies & Greetings.

I found this cute food safe jar(it said that on the tag;) at Hobby Lobby.  My circle Nestabilities worked perfectly for the top of the jar.  I typed up the recipe instructions and placed the image behind the words for a little interest, love digis!!

Here are the ingredients that go in the jar.
Chicken Noodle Soup In a Jar
1 Pkg (2.75oz) Pioneer Brand Country Gravy Mix
2 TBSP Chicken Bullion Granules
2 TBSP Dried Minced Onion
2 TBSP Dried Celery Flakes
2 TBSP Dried Parsley Flakes
3 Cups Uncooked Wide Egg Noodles
Pour Gravy Mix into wide mouth Quart Jar.  In a bowl combine Bouillon, onion, celery and parsley. Pour into jar to make the second layer and then add the noodles on top.  I included 1 10oz Can of White Cooked Chopped Chicken so it is ready to go. Some crackers would be nice too.
And this is what I put on the recipe card:

Feel Better Chicken Noodle Soup in a Jar

Empty contents of the jar into a 4 quart saucepan.  Add 8 cups of water; heat to boiling on high.  Reduce heat to medium; add (1) 10-ounce or (2) 6-ounce cans cooked and chopped chicken.  Cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. 

Makes 8 Servings.

Winter Review and All That Scraps Digi DT Call

I have to say this post is a little hard to write.  After a year and a half I have decided to step down from the All That Scraps Digi Team.  It is hard because Christine gave me my first DT position and I am so grateful to her.  C.C. Designs were then and now among my favorite stamps.  The good news for the rest of you is there is a Design Team call for the All That Scraps Digi Team and you can find all the details on the ATS Blog.  I am going to miss all of the wonderful team and my leader Ria so much!!
Today the team is reviewing some of the winter digis.  I merged Sugar Plums Ski Bunny Trevor along with the Snowy Fence. The sentiment is from Amy R Stamps Holiday Greetings.  I used my hand cut cloud dies and sponged around them to create the sky and added Polar White Flowers Soft and Martha Stewart glitter for the snow. The layout is from December's  SFYTT but I did rotate it.

For my next project I created a snow filled ornament using the super sweet Polar Bear Digi.

Merry Christmas Digis at ATS

Hi friends!!  The All That Scraps Digi Team a has made some more gorgeous creations to share with you this week.  We are reviewing some of last years Sugar Plum Digis by C.C. Designs but remember they are also available in rubber too.

My poor altered note book went through a lot of changes, I just couldn't get it to where I was happy with it and still not sure.... but one thing is for sure this Santa Emma and Presents are too cute!!

 As I said this is an altered note book that I thought I would use for all of my holiday lists.  The note book I got at Michael's in the dollar section.  I used the Martha Stewart Holly punch to cut out the vellum leaves.  I placed Emma on top of a vellum panel and used to Liquid Applique with a heat gun for the fur trim.

Christmas Tags

Good morning crafty friends!! How did the week treat everyone? It was a super busy one here. I had lots of craft projects to do and the hubby was out of down so the work load was as bit more with the kids.  I did get a lot of Christmas shopping done, I can't believe how it is sneaking up on us.
Today the All That Scraps Digi Team is sharing some more creations with C.C. Designs Sweet November Christmas Digis.  I decided to get started on some tags.  Yes, these are very quick and simple so they would be perfect to add to special gift. For my tags I used Angel Babies, Jolly Elf, and Cookie Break all from Sweet November.  The papers are by Recollections called Warm Wishes.  All of the ribbon came from Hobby Lobby and to finish them up I used several different corner punches.

ATS "Tweet" Release

Hello!! How is everyone today? The nights have turned a little cooler which means the days aren't sweltering and we have actually been able to go outside and enjoy it.  Now if we could just get some rain  to help put out the wild fires.  Today (Saturday)All That Scraps has two new digis by C.C. Designs.  These little birds are just so fun!!

For my first project I used Tweetie Fall Digi and the sentiment was one I made up.  I created the bird house by taking  5"x11" piece of card stock folded in half and then cut two 1"x4 1/2" strips of paper and crossed them to make the the roof.  I then added my pattern paper and glued the roof down and cut the remaining corners off to create the shape.  I then added the oval Nestie to create the bird hole and decorated away. I was pretty happy with the way this turned out.

 

 Challenges

Shopping Our Stash- #16 Birds, Bugs & Beasts- I went with the bird part of the challenge and all of my paper and punches were pulled from my stash.

Crafty Creations Challenge- #135 Anything But  Square

 For my next project I used Batty Tweetie and sentiment digi.  I have a few of these Halloween envelopes and I am hoping to create some more to make a little scrapbook.

And last but certainly not least Riley has made a card to share with everyone.  

 The ATS Digi Team has created some wonderful projects and you can find them HERE and the stop by the ATS Store and pick up Tweetie.

Happy Saturday!! It is our last couple of days of staying up late and sleeping in... I am going to need lots of coffee next week.  Today I have the other side of my door hanger to show you (see the below post for my naughty side).  I used this weeks The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS122 for my layout and it was a fun one to work with.  My image is the new C.C. Designs Angel Birgitta Digi and you can get her at All That Scraps.

This weeks sketch at The Sweet Stop has a twist which means there is a prize to be won.  We want to see you use those fibers on your project.  At 3:00 AM I liked my twisty twine detail but now, not so much...oh well.

All That Scraps Naughty or Nice Digi Preview

So how is everyone today? I am running around like a crazy person meeting all of the teachers and getting ready for school to start Monday.  I have mixed emotions right now, I don't think it is as hard with the second one going into Kinder because I know what to expect.
All That Scraps has four new digis & 2 sentiments being released tomorrow that can be used for Halloween or other occasions like I have done here.  Now my project is actually a double sided door hanger but you will have to check back tomorrow to see the other side:) I thought this would be cute to hang on the girl's bedroom door or maybe even Mommy's:)

 

 This is Devil Birgitta by C.C. Designs very own Christine Wooden and tomorrow you can find her HERE.  I used my Cricut Spring Holiday Cards cartridge to cut out the frame.  The paper is some old SU Rockability that I have been hoarding.  I printed the sentiments on the computer and hand cut the flags and distressed the edges.  I colored Birgitta with Copics and drew the flames to set her on.  I finished it off with Twinery Twine which you can get at ATS.
The rest of the ATS Digi team has done a fabulous job with the new images and you can see them HERE.
Please stop by tomorrow so I can show you the back side of my door hanger.

Lunch Box Notes-Back to School Review at All That Scraps

Hello everyone!! It is the back to School countdown here at my house... only 9 more days to go "yikes" or is that "yippee"? I guess it depends on who you ask... LOL.  I am so happy I got all of the school shopping done about 2 or 3 weeks ago.  I am not usually that on top of things but it just seemed to easy to get it done and actually have a good selection.  Riley isn't going to be happy wearing, as she calls them "boring clothes".  It will be an adventure having her in school and I look forward to what the year holds.

Lunch Box Notes

 I took several pictures of this set because there are several parts to it.  I started by making a double pocket card and used Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend papers along with my EK Success edge punch.  My stamps are all from C.C. Designs and you can find them Here at All That Scraps.  I used the Apple and Crayon Digi, Emma With Pencil Digi and the Read Sentiment is from the Back to School Set by Itzie Inkies .

I enlarged the crayon and removed the apple so Emma would have a nice place to sit.  I then decided to make some little cards to put inside my kids lunch boxes to brighten their day.  It use to make me so happy when my mom would put notes in my lunch box.  I added the sentiments in Word while I had my digis up so I could place them and get the size I wanted.  The apples got a nice coat of Glossy Accents to finish it off.

ATS Digi Monkey Preview

Hello and welcome to a fun new preview of four adorable new Monkey digis by C.C. Designs Christine Wooden.  These will be available Friday at All That Scraps.  The first one is Latte Monkey...aahh a monkey after my own heart.  I thought it would be cute to make a coffee cup shaped card and then decided to Google the idea and guess what?...someone already came up with the idea and HERE is a tutorial.  A little secret about me... I am horrible at following written directions so I kind of winged it and changed a few things such as rounding the bottom of the cup.

Surprise it is a gift card holder, isn't that fun?  The sentiment is from C.C. Designs Amy R Autumn Sentiments.

Hawaiian Flower Gretel ATS Digi Release Preview

Hi everyone!! I hope everyone is having a great week.  Super busy here as always you will get to see several things I have been working on over the next several days, fingers crossed I can get it all done.  Today I have a preview of the new digi called Hawaiian Flower Gretel . This sweet girl is from C.C. Designs and is designed by Christine Wooden and it will be available Friday at All That Scraps.
  I love this paper from SEI called Bright Blossoms and knew it would work out perfectly with Gretel.   I took my inspiration from the flower she is holding and sketched out the big flower and then outlined it with my Copic multi liner, colored, doubled it up and cut and bent the petals to make it look like she is sitting inside of the flower. 

 Here is a little better view of the dimension of the flower.  I just love her sweet face and long hair.

The Sweet Stop SSS101

Another week has come and gone so quickly, I hope everyone had a great one.  I had super tired kids getting back into the swing of things after spring break not to mention Mommy too.  Today there is a new sketch at The Sweet Stop and we would love for you to play a long.  The Sugar Babies have made some really amazing cards this week so don't forget to stop by and take a peek.

Along with the sketch I used one of the C.C. Designs Digi Sets that will be retired  at the end of the month.  This set is called Ginger Snaps Spring Thing and you can find it and the others HERE at All That Scraps.  The sentiment was just typed up on my computer but it does come with a few.  Each of the images are individual so you can arrange them however you like.  Yes, I know my card is pretty simple this week but work got in the way of crafting.  I embossed both of the colored panels but they are  not showing up in the photo.  The paper I used is Echo Park Summertime collection and I didn't write down the Copics because there were so many laying on my desk I couldn't work anymore, you can always let me know if you have a specific question and I will try to help.

I have my very own Special Guest Designer today, my Riley has been busy crafting .  She always gets so excited when I share her cards with you.  She used the same Gingersnap set Spring Thing, I am going to save her others for the next post.

 

That is all from me today, I have some things that I have been working on for next week so I hope to see you again soon.

The Sweet Stop SSS99

Happy weekend to everyone!! This is the start of Spring Break here unfortunatly we aren't going anywhere fun but it will be nice to not have to get up so early and have a more relaxed schedule.  I may change my mind after the little ones start going crazy in nine days.

 The Sweet Stop SSS99 has another sketch for you this week and we would love for you to play a long.   I did have a brain bubble and forgot to add the sentiment, oops:)

 

I used one of three Gingersnaps Bugg-A-Boos digis by C.C. Designs, these along with many others digis will be retiring at the end of the month so please stop by All That Scraps and get your favorites before they are gone.  If you enter the code olddigi you will receive 10% off of the retiring digis and clearance items.

 

 Next week is The Sweet Stop's 100th sketch so there may just be some extra special surprises*wink, wink*.  Have a wonderful day!!
