SWEET

John 3:16

2012-02-12T00:16:00.002-07:00

I have seen this scripture reference all over Pinterest the past few days. When I went to find it for my Sunday school class - I couldn't find it anywhere! So, I made this version using Microsoft Publisher. I attached the valentine to a box of candy hearts and will give it to my class this week. Here's the PDF version so you don't waste hours searching like I did. Enjoy! :)

Christmas Cookies in a Jar

2011-12-15T13:39:00.009-07:00

This is such an easy and tasty gift for the whole family! I made cookies in a jar for my bosses this year and they loved them! I tested the recipe and the cookies are scrumptious! I got the recipe from Make It Do and it works great! You have to smash the ingredients down after each addition and I mean, really smash it down or it won't all fit. I experimented with the order and thought this version worked the best.

I used a wide mouth quart Mason jar and decorated the lid with fabric and ribbon.

Here's the recipe if you want to make a batch for yourself:

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
3/4 cup m&ms
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 – 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Add

1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup butter (melted slightly in the microwave)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated.
Then roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.

Presents

2011-12-13T15:07:00.006-07:00

My mom, mother-in-law and sister-in-law came over for a girl's Christmas craft night! We made this super cute trio of wood presents. The set comes from The Wood Connection in Murray. I decorated each present with paper, glitter and a few embellishments. The medium-sized present has rustic wire curled around a homemade gift tag.

Nativity Ornaments

2011-11-11T15:41:00.006-07:00

I know we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but for our Relief Society activity we celebrated Christmas with a wonderful dinner and a short program. We also made a craft! These ornaments are so simple and elegant. The picture inside is of Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus printed on a transparency. You trace a circle around the picture and cut it out. Roll the transparency circle into a loose roll and squeeze it into the ornament! It took just 15 minutes to make!

Be Thankful

2011-11-06T15:25:00.005-07:00

"And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more."
-- D&C 78:19

I have such wonderful friends! I am thankful for the sweet, talented and caring women in my life. My friends, new and old, are a wonderful examples to me and I am so happy anytime I can spend time with them.

One of my best friends invited me to her place for a girls craft night. I've known Tiff since our Snow College days (Go Badgers!) and we've remained friends through the years. I had a great time and at the end of the night, we had these cute little turkeys to show off!

It's Alive!

2011-10-31T23:30:00.004-06:00

"The rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open..."
- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

What would Halloween be without monsters? I made this cute little Frankenstein block during one of our work craft nights. Isn't he cute?!

Happy Halloween!

Flip-flops

2011-08-16T18:14:00.007-06:00

My college roomie/best friend came up for a girls craft night and we made the most darling flip-flop door hang! We found the flip-flops at The Wood Connection and spent the night painting. They turned out so cute and it was so fun to catch up and reminisce about our glory days at Snow College.

Here's what we created...

Cake Pops

2011-07-18T23:15:00.008-06:00

What's a cake pop, you ask?
It is a little ball of crumbled cake mixed with frosting and covered in candy melts.
It is divine and delicious.

I borrowed the book, "Cake Pops" by Bakerella from my co-worker, Annie.
It is filled with cute ideas! If you check out Bakerella's blog, you'll find even more creative designs from "cake poppers" around the country. This was my first attempt so while they might not look fancy they sure tasted yummy!

4th of July crafts

2011-07-07T22:06:00.007-06:00

Here are a few patriotic crafts in honor of the 4th of July! The gals at work wanted to do a craft night. We each brought a craft and something to munch on... the result was an all-night craft-extravaganza and tons of cute crafts! These are just a few of the ones we made...

Firecrackers

Proud to be an American

Refinishing Grandma's Chair

2011-06-15T07:59:00.006-06:00

I knew the chair had potential. It was going to be tossed in the trash but all it needed was a little attention. The chair was throwing out a very 70s vibe but the green cushions matched my house, so I had to at least try. Here is what the chair looked like before...

Brent took the chair apart, (I nearly freaked out when I saw it in pieces in the garage), sanded it down and painted it black. My small contribution was cleaning the cushions. Here is how it turned out...

Now I have Grandma & Grandpa's chair in my family room, it's just a little piece to remember them by.

Congrats

2011-06-01T10:57:00.003-06:00

Time for another card swap! The theme for the KSL swap was congratulations or graduation. I needed a simple but cute design. I found the paper and flower embellishments at Heartfelt Creations. The stamp is from Stampin' Up! I used a different flower embellishment on each card.

Easter Sweets

2011-05-26T14:53:00.010-06:00

So, it's a bit late but I want to share these super cute peep jars! I can't take all the credit... I borrowed the idea from Creative Holiday Gift Ideas
It's the cutest gift for family and friends. Everyone loved it!

We had Easter dinner at Brent's parents house and I brought dessert. I made chocolate fudge cupcakes decorated as little Easter nests! It's easy, fast and all the nieces and nephews ate them up!

April Showers

2011-04-19T19:46:00.003-06:00

I just love this little man holding the umbrella! I painted the wood letters then covered them with scrapbook paper. I snagged the set at The Wood Connection in their Last Chance section. It's the perfect decoration for the rainy spring weather we've been having in UT.

Peeps

2011-04-19T19:36:00.003-06:00

My mom and I made the cutest Easter decorations!
PEEPS!
We found the blocks at The Wood Connection in Murray. How cute are these little bunnies?!

I won!!

2010-12-24T19:26:00.004-07:00

Check this out!

What should I make next?

Away in a Manger

2010-12-19T13:00:00.004-07:00

I found this wood nativity set, where else? at The Wood Connection!
I painted it, added raffia to the manger and glitter to the star.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Christmas trimmings

2010-12-18T08:28:00.009-07:00

I found the cutest decorations at The Quilted Bear! I added it to the few things I bought last year at Joann's and Tai Pan... and voilá! My mantle is decorated for Christmas!

I found these two boxes on clearance and covered the top one in Christmas paper and painted the lid. It didn't look very cute when I bought it.

The candy cane, snowmen, and wood tree are all from The Quilted Bear. I always find cute stuff when I shop there!

...days 'til Christmas!

2010-12-11T11:08:00.004-07:00

I made the cutest countdown blocks and it was so easy! I bought the blocks at The Wood Connection for only $5.95, painted them red and glued designer paper to each side.
Only 14 more days...

Holiday tags

2010-11-25T11:25:00.002-07:00

I made these holiday tags for my card swap at work. I covered a coaster with paper and ribbon to resemble a present and stamped "to" and "from" at the top!

Thanksgiving decor

2010-11-07T18:13:00.005-07:00

Here's my Thanksgiving/fall mantel!

And, my love affair with The Wood Connection continues... Here is my gobble block I made!

I love fall colors!

and autumn a mosaic of them all." -Stanley Horowitz

A spooktacular Halloween!

2010-11-06T11:11:00.004-06:00

I love decorating my mantle during the holidays and Halloween is one of my favorites!

My mom, my sister and I made these cute SPOOKY letters! I went to The Wood Connection for the first time and couldn't believe I had never been there! We painted the letters black then decorated them with glitter and fun Halloween paper.

Girls' Night

2010-08-21T19:33:00.004-06:00

My cute friends from the ward came over for a card making night! These two cards come from a card kit by MemoryWorks... it was so fun and easy!

Jackson's birthday card

2010-08-21T19:22:00.002-06:00

I made this card for my nephew's first birthday! I used Stampin' Up! stamps and paper from MemoryWorks.

I scream, you scream...

2010-03-24T21:16:00.003-06:00

It's time again for the KSL card swap! The theme is thank-you cards and could be any design or theme. Here's mine... nothing says thank you like ice cream!

What's in a name?

2010-03-07T12:43:00.007-07:00

I love, love, love this!

My friend inspired me to create a work of art with the letters of my last name. (Thanks Lesli!) The letters are made from things in nature and details in architecture. I spent a good hour at Roberts making sure my name looked just right. You wouldn't believe how many things there are to consider..."are there too many upper-case letter?", "do I have too many letters made out of metal?" Decisions, decisions.

The project is a little pricey but I used a 40% off coupon on the frame and the smaller letters are a steal at $2 each.
When it was all said and done, this is how it turned out!

Be Mine

2010-02-10T11:01:00.003-07:00

I spent Superbowl Sunday watching the game, of course... but also making valentines with my mom! Here is one I made, I've sent it to Brent. The paper is from Memory Works. I love the vintage feel.

Luck o' the Irish

2010-01-27T12:56:00.003-07:00

For our January card swap we had to use a template... that was the only rule. Here's my St. Patrick's Day interpretation.

Believe

2009-12-19T18:27:00.003-07:00

My friend, Rachel and I made these super cute "Believe" blocks from Heartland Paper! They turned out so festive!

Christmas sour cream containers

2009-12-18T10:40:00.004-07:00

These make cute neighbor gifts! They're called sour cream containers. I found step-by-step instructions on splitcoaststampers.com. I made mine a bit bigger than the instructions said so it holds 8 or 9 mini candy bars. I used a paper crimper to seal the ends and stamped a cute Christmas saying to put on the front. They are super easy!

new years card

2009-11-27T14:22:00.003-07:00

It's time for my second card swap! The theme was "holiday". I chose New Years and went with a black and gold theme. I used the "A Brand New Year" stamp from Stampin' Up! and found festive paper at Joann's. Happy new year!

Twilight

2009-11-08T09:51:00.003-07:00

"About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
--Bella Swan, Twilight

My mom and I love Twilight! We made these blocks from a kit we got at Heartland Paper. It was really easy to do, and I love the little embellishments... there's a tiny fork on the letter "l".

Wicked Halloween

2009-10-24T11:38:00.003-06:00

My mom and I love Wicked the musical. So, when we saw the kit from Heartland Paper we just had to buy it! These are my finished Wicked letters. I painted them black and glued scrapbook paper to the front. They're sitting on top of my fireplace and for the finishing touch, a witch's broom.

Card Swap

2009-10-17T11:52:00.004-06:00

I joined my first card swap! Some ladies at work started one. For our first swap, the theme was "birthday". We made 12 cards and got one card of our own plus 11 others. It was fun to see how different each one was. Here's mine...

Britney Spears concert

2009-09-03T20:53:00.004-06:00

I scrapbooked some pics from the Britney Spears' Circus Tour! My sisters and I had a blast! The theme for the two pages is, of course, the circus. I always save my ticket so I can scrapbook it later!

60!

2009-02-10T20:16:00.002-07:00

My dad turned the big 6-0! An occasion this big calls for a very decadent, and very yummy cake! I wish I could take credit for this creation, but the kudos go to Mrs. Backers Pastry Shop in Salt Lake City. The cake turned out beautifully and tasted perfect!

Christmas boxes

2008-12-27T15:14:00.002-07:00

Cute Christmas boxes for friends and family! I made them using K & Co. paper (I'm hooked thanks to mom) and a little bit of hot glue. Inside are Hersey kisses making them a sweet treat!

Let them eat Halloween cake

2008-10-12T11:37:00.002-06:00

Devil's food, frosting and a couple of candy corns created this pumpkin cake. It's my first attempt at turning a cake into something other than a regular cake. It's two cake layers with a frosting layer in between. yum!

tulum pics

2008-06-22T21:28:00.003-06:00

I scrapbooked our Tulum pictures! It was one of the stops on our honeymoon and I did the pages today. I know, 4 years, but I don't scrapbook chronologically.

seeking my mothers approval

2008-01-20T19:59:00.000-07:00

After months of inactivity, I'm out to redeem myself in my mothers' eyes. This is the first card I've made in a while... the past few months have been a bit crazy with graduating from college, moving, and searching for a place. So now that all my stuff is out of storage I am ready to scrap again.
I later stamped "thank you" in small letters at the bottom. This was my first experience using a bottle cap, mother must be proud.

Graduation

2007-05-08T19:43:00.000-06:00

It's official - I am now a college graduate! SUU graduation was May 5th and it was a really good commencement ceremony. You know how most graduations are long and boring, well the convocation exercise involved just our college (humanities and social sciences) so it was smaller and short. This is me with my parents. And below is my husband and I.

It's nice to be finished but I sometimes forget I don't have to go
back to school in the fall.

this week....

2007-04-19T19:53:00.000-06:00

One of my best friends and old college roommate, just had her 2nd baby. This is the card I sent her, it went through a couple revisions and this was the finished product!

And now for this week's good news:

Earlier this week on Monday, was the annual SUTV/Power 91 banquet (for TV and radio students). I was awarded "television student of the year, gold award". I was really excited! Also, today was the induction ceremony for Lambda Pi Eta, the communication honor society. I received my honor cords and certificate, and it looks really neat!

Life...

2007-04-11T10:51:00.000-06:00

It's been a long time since I've posted anything. School has been so crazy, especially after midterms it seemed that everything was due at the same time and professors tried to squeeze in as much as possible. With just 3 weeks left of classes then a week of finals, graduation is inching closer. I can't believe this is my last semester of school. It's exciting but at the same time a bit scary. I've worked hard in college and now it's paying off. Brent will graduate too. I'm glad we'll get done at the same time and get to walk together. Brent got accepted into UVSC for his teaching license! It's a year program then he'll be certified to teach. To go into education really takes 5 years like everyone says.

I hadn't heard anything from my college friend for a month and found out that she has Toxemia with her second baby again. So I made her this card hoping it will cheer her up. My mom gave me a Cuttlebug for my birthday and I love it! This was my first attempt using it.

Fun in the Sun

2007-02-25T10:45:00.000-07:00

It's been so cold and snowy lately, I needed something bright and tropical! Susan's birthday was on Thursday and I made her this card. It was made with the Fishy Friends set and the palm tree was a Michael's stamp.

Valentine Card

2007-02-16T11:58:00.000-07:00

This is the Valentine's card I made my husband. This Stampin' Up set is soo cute, (thanks mom!). It's called 'Love Matters' This isn't made in the traditional pink and red, but it works.

dinner is served

2007-01-20T18:35:00.000-07:00

This card is a spin off of the name tag I created for my writing class. I used Stampin' Up!'s "Viola",

"fishy friends" and "too terrific tags" sets. I colored the image with watercolor pencils.

Bon Appetite!

the fashion of music

2007-01-19T11:12:00.000-07:00

I've been experimenting with Paper Fashions and this is my latest creation. This dress reminds of 'Stepford's Wives' meets 'Sound of Music'. I think it's rather cute with the matching neck scarf and red hem at the bottom.

bride bliss

2007-01-18T12:11:00.000-07:00

My sister-in-law is getting married on Saturday and that's what inspired this dress. I used vellum on the skirt and as the shrug over the dress. I may use it on their wedding card.

2007-01-17T09:13:00.000-07:00

My grandma passed away yesterday, it kind of happened unexpectedly for me. At least there's some comfort in knowing she's with my grandpa and they're happy together. I miss them so much.

nametag

2007-01-16T16:58:00.000-07:00

In my tech writing class, my professor wanted us to make a name tag so she could get to know us better. I overachieved and applied my scrapbooking/cardmaking skills to create the cutest name tag in class. I won the "multi-dimensional" award!

I made my name tag with the "Viola" Stampin' Up set and my name was spelled with Scrabble pieces.

"Girls Night Out" ~ Paper Fashions

2007-01-05T14:54:00.000-07:00

I created my very first paper fashion! I call it "Girls Night Out". It was so much fun and I made it as I watched Grey's Anatomy last night. My favorite part of the outfit are the boots, because they look like snakeskin. There will be many more fashions coming so keep a look out!

let it snow

2007-01-05T14:50:00.000-07:00

So Cedar City got hit hard last night with tons of snow! This is looking out from our apartment. Our car was stuck a bit after they had plowed the parking lot and left big piles behind all the cars, but we got it out. We probably got a good foot of snow!

Christmas cards

2006-12-15T14:03:00.000-07:00

So it's finals week and I just finished my last one! Can't believe it's already the end of fall semester! Time goes by so fast and I'm scared out of my mind to graduate. I rather not enter the "real world" and stay in school as a student.

So to get my mind off of studying earlier this week, I made these Christmas cards! All the materials came from Michael's in a little bag and you just put them together. So simple!

make-and-take

2006-11-25T18:54:00.000-07:00

Me, mom and Stef went to Archivers today! woohoo! My mom gave me this bag that she bought (for only $5 with $50 purchase). Anyway, we did a make-and-take project and it turned out so cute! It was a music box that plays christmas music and we covered them in paper and prima flowers. I'm a little obsessed with Archiver's and now I think I got my mom hooked too. :)

a little late....

2006-11-08T14:34:00.000-07:00

I know Halloween is over but I made this page last night while watching election coverage. This is actually not from this past Halloween but a year before. It's simple but I think it turned out cute. That Halloween we carved a cat in the pumpkin for our little cat we had at the time, Squeaky.

fun weekend

2006-11-08T12:57:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Heather, Coy and Stef came down to stay for the weekend. It was fun to just hang out. We watched movies, toured the campus and the SUTV studio and went bowling. Both these pics are on campus. The left one is near the general classroom building and the right is on the outdoor Shakespeare stage. Aren't we so cute!?

Finally...

So I finally finished this project after 2 years! I bought this no-sew wall hanging around this time in 2004, I put it away and since my husband and I have moved so much I never really saw it again. But I found a few days ago, and finished it up. No sewing, gluing or stitching required ~ it's just cutting out the shapes and tucking them into a foam board with a nail file or flat tool of some kind. It's about 12 x 12, so not too big. I now feel a sense of accomplishment!

And.... it's finally here! Archiver's is coming to Utah! I kept wondering when they would come to Utah. I absolutely love, love, love this store! While living in Iowa, there was one right near my apartment and I was there almost every day. Archiver's offers classes and endless scrapbooking/photo stuff. After shopping there, I'm not satisfied with Michael's or Roberts for paper and scrapbooking supplies. It opens November 10th in Orem/Provo so I won't get to go there until Thanksgiving but it is definitely worth the wait!

Halloween Special

On Thursday, the tv class put on our Southern Utah View Halloween special! We took this picture after the show! I am the show producer and host. I dressed up as Miss SUU 1985 (in the blue dress!) The show went well and was a lot of fun. If your ever in Cedar City check us out on Thursdays on cable ch. 9!

Harvest Holiday a.k.a. Huntin' Season

2006-10-20T09:56:00.000-06:00

So it's that time again.... the opening day of the hunt! Or for all us non-rednecks in Cedar, the harvest holiday. One may wonder what there is to harvest on Cedar City - essentially, it is just an excuse to have a day off and go out looking for a buck. Personally, I don't like the idea of deer hunting but I have friends who won't miss one day of the hunt. Though I won't complain too much because Monday is a holiday. (woohoo!, no school!) So to each his own this weekend, whether it is simply a break from school or the long awaited weekend to go huntin'.

We will always love you, Squeak!

One year with you was worth more than any year without you! We miss you!

This here is my beloved Squeaky! Today he went to the vet hospital because he hasn't been feeling well. He is living at my parents house, (3 and half hours away! but they are taking excellent care of him), because my husband and I weren't sure if we could have him in our apartment. He is only a year old and we hope to bring him down here around Thanksgiving. I made this page over the summer and there is actually another page to go along side it. (He deserves the 2-page layout) I think it's rather cute.

Halloween is such a fun holiday, it give me an excuse to eat candy and watch tons of scary movies.

This is one of my favorite Halloween decorations, it's not anything fancy but I got at the bookstore where I used to work and I like the hand painted look. It holds a tealight candle at the top.

I made this card by folding it into thirds, accordion style. I stamped and cut out 3 pumpkins then punched holes for the eyes and nose. To make them look lit I stuck yellow paper behind them. The "trick or treat" is stamped and embossed in black. The grass is just green cardstock then sniped along the edges.

My mom gave me instructions on how to make a bag from a 12 x 12 piece of paper. I made this bag using those instructions then set 2 black eyelets on the side and used a black fuzzy fiber as the handle. I think I'll give it away as a little Halloween gift to someone.

I love scrapbooking ~ I think it's so much fun to look back and remember good times. I just finished this page of me and my old roommate Tiffany from Snow College. She had never been ice skating so we went to Gallivan Plaza. No one was there and we had the rink to ourselves! It was so much fun, I just had to make it into a page. I think it turned out pretty cute. I embossed the title and the snowflakes at the bottom. The empty space is for journaling, which I still have to add.
