Nov. Girl's Day/Night Out Projects

Here are some of the projects we did at the November Girl's Day/Night Out class.

The first one was from a sketch found at Diva Coffee Break Designs, which can be found HERE. They have some fun sketches going on there! I just discovered that blog.

This is a picture of the sketch:

This was my version of the card. I was also inspired by my upline's (Barbara Welch) swap card from weSTAMP last month, which can be found HERE.

Recipe for Bars

Sorry no pictures to post YET. I have one more card class this week, and I will post pictures of our projects after Wed. morning.

I did get a lot of requests for the bars I served during class. There is a little background to these bars!! When I was in HIGH SCHOOL (don't make me figure out how many years ago that was!!) I used to work in a grocery store. The bakery there made these AWESOME bars. I remember asking the manager there if I could get the recipe to the bars (so MY MOM could make them for us. LOL) We got the recipe and it is still a hit in our family!! Here it is! Oh great, I just thought of this, I hope I don't get in trouble for publishing this recipe!! Maybe there is like a 25-year rule, kind of like the 5-second rule if you drop something on the ground???

I know, I'll make up a different name for them. Now I will be able to sleep at night.

The new name for this recipe is: Lorri's Yummy Gooey Bars!

1 C. sugar
1/4 t. salt
1 C. light Karo syrup
1 1/2 C. peanut butter

Melt these on the stove (don't let it boil, though)

Add:
3 1/2 C. corn flakes
1 C. peanuts
1/4 t. vanilla

Stir together, press in a jelly roll pan. Frost with 1 bag of Nestle's toll house morsels and one bag of Nestle's butterscotch chips that have been melted together on low. Cool in refrigerator until frosting is set.

Gift Certificate

Here's a little gift certificate card I made for a bridal shower. I found the pattern on Nancy Morgan's blog, which can be found HERE. For some reason I can't link her exact location of this tutorial, but it you look at 4/22/09 that is where it is found.

I LOVE her pattern for this because it is fast and simple to make! :) The sky's the limit with this pattern.

PROUD MAMA!

This isn't a stamp-related post, but I am ONE PROUD MAMA who wants to share a video clip that was aired this morning on FOX SPORTS. Our son, Brook, is an Air Force piloe. He is currently deployed in the desert. He had the PRIVILEGE of transporting some of the football newscasters around. They made a trip over there to show their support of the troops for Veterans Day.. Here is a clip of the 3+ hour trip that Brook piloted with the men from FOX SPORTS. There are a few shots of Brook, but the best one is when he is in the right seat of the C-17. He is the pilot who is looking back over his shoulder and has sunglasses on. I KNOW it's my son because of the chicken pox scar on his cheek!!!! :)

It only takes a couple of minutes to watch this....thank you for taking the time. And BROOK I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Stamp A Stack Class

Here are the cards that were made during my "Stamp A Stack" class this week. We made 12 cards total, 4 cards each of the 3 designs.

The first card I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so the gals could make either one. The first one has BLING on it. On the 2nd, the ornament is 3-D. You get the 3-D look by punching 3 ornaments, folding them in half, and taping them altogether.
