Episode #494 ~ Clay Charm Fun!

Hi there friends,

  OMGoodness - I have been busy in my "Happy" place making the most adorable Clay Charms! It all started when I saw Schell (babytweetums) live chat and she was talking about making some charms. SInce I was working on my M-I-L's Mother's Day gift which is a Recipe/Scrap book, I knew I wanted to add some cute charms as a bookmark for the finishing touch. Well, no one told me how fun and CUTE these little cuties are to make! I can't wait to make more today, but first I have to work on my ShoeBox Swap card for my Stampin' Up! team meeting this Saturday.

  If you give charms a try, please share your pictures or video with me - I would love to see what you create! They really are just the sweetest little things ~



  Thanks so much for watching and subscribing to my blog and YouTube channel, if you need any help or have any questions, just let me know - I am happy to help!

Big Hugs,

Episode #493 ~ *Completed* Mother's Day Recipe/Scrap Book

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends,

  I wanted to share the finished product of the Recipe/Scrap Book that I made for my M-I-L for Mother's Day. I married into an italian family and my M-I-L comes from Sicily and is a wonderful cook! OMGoodness - here meatball and mosticholli, lasagna, and breshouls (?) are to die for!!! We ahd a fun day a couple weeks ago and she showed my hubby and I how to make her christmas and easter cookies, 10 pounds of everything... can you say cookie overload?!@#$%^&* It was a fun afternoon and our kiddos will get to carry on the tradition that goes back many generations to the old country.



Thanks for watching and Happy (early) Mother's Day to all of us that are mother's to our people babies, 4-legged furry friends and everything in between!

Big Hugs,

Episode #492 ~ "Mother's Day" Recipe/Scrapbook Gift for My M-I-L

Hi Everyone,

  Happy Thursday! I've been busy working on a gift for my M-I-L for Mother's Day... I am making a Recipe/Scrap Album for all her wonderful, Sicilian recipes that are family favorites.

She came over a couple of weeks ago and showed my hubby and myself how to make her yummy "S" cookies and also her Almond cookies - OMGosh, they sre SO good!!! Sadly though, she arrived with her recipes written out on just notebook paper and stuffed into a large ZipLock Freezer Bag. Well, we can't have that and with that the wheels in my head went into scrapbooking mode! Ha!!!

This has been a fun project and I hope she likes her new recipe book and fills it with many beloved recipes that are enjoyed by so many.

I hope this gives you some inspiration, if you are looking to purchase any Stampin' Up! products, you can visit my online store at: www.galem.stampinup.net

Episode #490 ~ "Birthday Blooms" Card By Stampin' Up!

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends,

I am alittle late in posting this card tutorial on my blog, I actually uploaded it to YouTube on Thursday but have been crazy busy with family stuff. All good things, just a lot going on with scrubby (scrapbooking hubby) and the kiddos.

I cased' this card right out of our catalog and simply changed the background stamp to all time favorite  go-to "Brushstrokes". As you my notice, I use this quite a bit on cards and it reminds me of the Jersey shore for some reason.

I have to say... this is SUCH a beautiful stamp set, the images are just beautiful. With Mother's Day coming, I think it would be perfect and even better on some scrapbook pages. Stay tuned for some pretty cards and pages featuring this lovely stamp set.

Lastly, I hope you all have a relaxing weekend and can spend time doing what you love with those you love. My in-laws are coming over shortly and we are spending the day baking cookies, the yummy italian ones in the shape od an "S" with the sweet glaze and also her almond/fig cookies. Yumm-o!!!
