Long time...no blog!! I didn't mean to take such a break. But life has been busy and to honest, I lost all motivation to scrapbook or make cards or do anything creative. I'm not sure why, but i've been seriously lacking mojo lately. And you know what? I'm trying to just take a break and figure out what I really want to be doing when I get creative. Being part of a monthly card kit with some great scrappy friends pulled me out of my rut this month and i'm happy to say that I actually have something to share today. Beth sent us the kit this month and it was a pretty kit to work with!<br />

Like everyone else i'm sure, December has been busy! I haven't had time to blog or create much. This month it was my turn to send a card kit to everyone and I made sure to squeeze in some time to create a few cards. Here is the kit:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU6QMqnY2gILr8jR-bSl_inSRdrrG1gvsLOHC_QOG4Fg_IzRmCXXUvCyuMfyVADmGy8YxZkp_0cnIu_vff-5qfoPW2r5ADmL720zsKmipi1gyzu9D-sDO4sAj_NxjEXLU3SYN1tdvN9jk/s1600/IMG_4923+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU6QMqnY2gILr8jR-bSl_inSRdrrG1gvsLOHC_QOG4Fg_IzRmCXXUvCyuMfyVADmGy8YxZkp_0cnIu_vff-5qfoPW2r5ADmL720zsKmipi1gyzu9D-sDO4sAj_NxjEXLU3SYN1tdvN9jk/s400/IMG_4923+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There is a ton of Momenta product in this kit along with some doilies, flowers, twine, and labels I cut on my Cricut. I know, it's not holiday themed in the least. But I thought it would be a nice change from holiday product and I was thinking the girls could make some great thank you cards if they wanted to!<br />
<br />
Here is my first card. It's based on a sketch in the latest Paper Craft magazine. I loved the slanted design!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcTWPvmF4RprzZfYhjryxXgnCJAbli_XTIjEy9FZEOV3buM4n4z9mOV6pnQJBuQeOhXPA7vzXPk14mN1c7R4VhiePZQfF7iko0JILNBN3SI0vILS8_uvrwQL6aPTqzkMORn_Ezh8jPHDw/s1600/IMG_4944+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcTWPvmF4RprzZfYhjryxXgnCJAbli_XTIjEy9FZEOV3buM4n4z9mOV6pnQJBuQeOhXPA7vzXPk14mN1c7R4VhiePZQfF7iko0JILNBN3SI0vILS8_uvrwQL6aPTqzkMORn_Ezh8jPHDw/s640/IMG_4944+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And I needed to use up the other half of that doily, so I made this card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLjqocO-7ZLYfc0PSD-vXULSrFRSf5tym6AIeCxhq3glT1LEfR4-UFJZ1wlzY5H6rlL9H6Ypouj4H3Ru6SOF3iJsbI9p9TOKg_0t2uxz5wkNcZxisefy8z8qWQv416e88INzLThuYoFok/s1600/IMG_4945+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLjqocO-7ZLYfc0PSD-vXULSrFRSf5tym6AIeCxhq3glT1LEfR4-UFJZ1wlzY5H6rlL9H6Ypouj4H3Ru6SOF3iJsbI9p9TOKg_0t2uxz5wkNcZxisefy8z8qWQv416e88INzLThuYoFok/s640/IMG_4945+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And Paper Crafts had another sketch in their latest edition, so I used that one as well. This gave me a chance to use those fun metal keys.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once again, it's been too long since I posted. Life keeps getting in the way! And this little guy keeps getting in the way...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh0S-LdOW2LAysoEy1WzsgPQi4MW8io8jfPYNEcB2fXa8QKnEN39F8kAdsD8NHwDeDUqA9sj-faeJ_RMp8x_sUtAGEGkIVJGHgwjzL2KKhQidFtyzQtPyFt70OX3TBZrFPH3yJYPFptfs/s1600/IMG_4903.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh0S-LdOW2LAysoEy1WzsgPQi4MW8io8jfPYNEcB2fXa8QKnEN39F8kAdsD8NHwDeDUqA9sj-faeJ_RMp8x_sUtAGEGkIVJGHgwjzL2KKhQidFtyzQtPyFt70OX3TBZrFPH3yJYPFptfs/s640/IMG_4903.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>

Please meet Chico. We got him from a local animal shelter and he has been keeping me busy around here. He's very loveable and cuddly but also pretty crazy and wild. We now have him crate trained at night but we are still dealing with other issues. He definitely keeps us on our toes!<br />
<br />
I did have a chance to make a new holiday recipe. It is very easy and you don't even need to turn on the oven. If you can use a microwave, you can make this Cranberry Crunch Bark.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
White chocolate, pretzels, and dried cranberries are a great salty and sweet combination in this treat! It felt good to be back in the kitchen. It's been far too long since I've baked any goodies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zzSehnvMikI7InUiqHGtaMuMU6NbT5Vp3IVSLe33jg6v5n9HaJTxbE3ScTDRCqHicgfI5SpnEJhO3jlvXV4oPyXe2p9yY7cccQiLIn3DN9aDnWl_RBjaI0CMVkM4caPUpRw1IGmnV5A/s1600/IMG_4920+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zzSehnvMikI7InUiqHGtaMuMU6NbT5Vp3IVSLe33jg6v5n9HaJTxbE3ScTDRCqHicgfI5SpnEJhO3jlvXV4oPyXe2p9yY7cccQiLIn3DN9aDnWl_RBjaI0CMVkM4caPUpRw1IGmnV5A/s640/IMG_4920+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is not really a 'recipe', but here is what you need to make it.<br />
<br />
2 bags white chocolate chips<br />
thin pretzel sticks<br />
dried cranberries<br />
<br />
-Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.<br />
-Break up the pretzel sticks into small pieces. I used about 1 1/2 cups of pretzels.<br />
-Melt the 2 bags of white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring frequently.<br />
-When the chocolate is melted, stir in the pretzel sticks.<br />
-Pour the melted chocolate/pretzel combo on the cookie sheet.<br />
-Press in cranberries. I used an entire bag (from Target). Let cool.<br />
-Break into chunks<br />
<br />
This would made a great addition to a cookie platter this holiday season. It comes together quickly and you don't have to turn on the oven. It's a great recipe when you don't have much time to spend in the kitchen. Or if you are running to keep your dog from digging through the trash.<br />

Wow, I didn't expect to be away from blogging for that long. My family took a week long Mexican Riveria cruise over Thanksgiving week and had a fabulous time. We stopped in Cabo San Lucas and Puerta Vallarta. We are lucky to have simply amazing weather and I took a ton of photos. Do you want to see?<br />

We had such a great time and it's been TOUGH getting back to reality. I hope to get back to crafting this week, I need to check out some challenges. AND i've been thinking about holiday crafting and I have some projects that I hope to tackle. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving week. I need to do some blog catching up as well!<br />

I have a few scrappy friends who i've met on message boards throughout the years and we take turns sending card kits to each other. It's such a great way to stay in touch with friends and be creative, too! <a href="http://www.jazzyscrappertidbits.blogspot.com/">Terri</a> sent the kit this month and it's a beauty!!<br />

I love it because it's very different from my usual style and it was great fun to step out of my comfort zone. Here is my first card.<br />

The big piano stamp is just so detailed! I fussy cut it and layered it with the corrugated cardboard, mesh, and patterned paper.<br />

I thought it would be different to tie the twine bow behind the button, since the button is transparent.<br />

Happy Friday! Are you ready for Thanksgiving next week? I am taking an extending vacation with the family and we can't wait to get away for a little bit and relax and have some fun. And speaking of Thanksgiving, I have a thank you card to share today.<br />

I used my Jillibean Soup Card Kitchen kit for this card. It's pretty simple, I added some layers, a diecut journaling spot, diecut butterfly, wood tree and fun tied bow. I love this krinkly ribbon but it's so hard to tie into a nice pretty bow! It has a mind of its own and doesn't like to sit down where I want it to. <br />

At first this sketch stumped me a little bit. Since I had my Jillbean Soup kit on my desk from my last card, I dug around the kit to see what I could find.<br />
<br />

I turned the 3 scallops into trees and flipped the sketch over. I have a feeling you will be seeing many cards using this great kit!<br />

Per usual, it's been a busy weekend filled with soccer, parties, and craziness. I ran a local 5K this morning with my girlfriends. It's the first run I've done since I had ankle surgery to fix a running injury I sustained nearly 2 years ago. It's been a long road but I finally feel like i'm getting my fitness back together. It was a great feeling to run this morning. I have missed it SO much!<br />

This is my first card using my <a href="http://jillibeansoup.typepad.com/thecardkitchen/">Card Kitchen kit from Jillibean Soup</a>. I was lucky enough to win a 6 month subscription to the kit during Jillibean Soup's birthday festivites last month. I'm so excited to get soup in the mail every month now! I really loved this subway art inspired die cut, so it was the first thing I used from the kit.<br />

I don't even know how much it resembles the inspiration card. I was helping my daughter with her own mixed media project at the same time and was getting distracted. But I like how it turned out. I do love the fall colors and the wood tree is a great embellie.<br />
<br />
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend...thanks for stopping by!!Mara Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07243750442395125798noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759880457321347164.post-13532485160863677962012-11-07T08:00:00.000-08:002012-11-07T08:00:01.137-08:00Moxie Fab Challenge: Canvas, Cork, & BurlapI'm here with another challenge project! Over at the <a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/10/paper-crafting-tips-tricks-week-canvas.html">Moxie Fab blog</a>, there is a Canvas, Cork, & Burlap challenge going on. I just bought some burlap from the fabric store to make a table runner and I have a ton of leftovers. So I decided to participate in this challenge. Here is the card I created.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I hand cut a square of burlap (not really caring if it was straight or not) and used it as a layer on my card. I also dug out some cork sheets and used my punches to create a cork flower. I inked the edges with distress ink and added a wood butterfly to the middle.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also decided to make a burlap gift card holder!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUurttDBUZDh5nBcFmx53hznV545-iTfnMx9Ft5mzObPKsaPJV7CslN0HITwlcrN_OlkGa2H5afxVmoxpDKVxvupZdUnf-L8m4RRwRhb_MjagccNLgi39TnBLG7q4Nnt0YaLZq5QPTmQo/s1600/IMG_4539+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUurttDBUZDh5nBcFmx53hznV545-iTfnMx9Ft5mzObPKsaPJV7CslN0HITwlcrN_OlkGa2H5afxVmoxpDKVxvupZdUnf-L8m4RRwRhb_MjagccNLgi39TnBLG7q4Nnt0YaLZq5QPTmQo/s640/IMG_4539+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I cut the burlap a little bit wider than the gift card and about twice as long (plus some). I then folded the burlap to create a pocket with a nice sized flap on the top. I used my hot glue gun to secure the sides (you can also stitch it, but I don't have a sewing machine!). I tied the top with baker's twine to finish it off!<br />
<br />

I am loving the burlap lately. I recently made a table runner that I love, it's perfect for fall decorating. I think I'll be spending some time on Pinterest tonight searching for burlap projects!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today, Friends...<br />

I have really been digging the challenges lately. You know, I probably said that last week, too. Ha! When my kids finally are in bed, I try to find just a little time for crafting. Card challenges are a great way to be inspired and actually get something accomplished. What are some of your favorite challenge blogs?<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today!<br />

I thought these cute monsters were appropriate given that tomorrow is Halloween. Anybody else's kids going absolutely crazy tonight with anticipation? These are from the Monster Stew line by Jillibean Soup. I added a Unity sentiment and some stitched purple ribbon.<br />

I love this elephant stamp from Unity and pulled it out of hiding to make this card. I used the Doodle Floral papers by Momenta, the stamp and sentiment are from Unity and the baker's twine is from The Twinery. And the pearl is from the stack of stuff on my desk I haven't put away yet. I stamped the elephant directly on patterned paper and fussy cut him out. He's such a cutie!<br />
<br />
I hope all you East Coasters are staying safe in that crazy storm. Thanks for stopping by today!<br />

It's been super windy and hot here today. I was happy my kids had 8am soccer games because i'm sure the 12:30 games were miserable in this weather. I have one card to share today and I made it using the scraps from my Card Kit Club kit. You can see the other 3 cards I made <a href="http://loveyourmotherearth.blogspot.com/2012/10/card-kit-club.html">HERE</a>. Beth sent out a fantastic kit filled with My Mind's Eye papers plus tons of great embellies.<br />

<br />
I just love the colors of these papers! The yellow is so pretty, I can't stop using it. I also discovered that my washi tape matches perfectly and I'm having fun playing with that new product. I need to remember to dig that tape out more often.<br />

As you can clearly see, mine is not in the air. I'm not a big fan of candy corn but I have a friend who loves it. So I decided to make her this candy corn gift she can keep on her desk at work. So she always has candy corn at her fingertips!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I learned how to make this box from <a href="http://bethiejs.blogspot.com/">my friend Beth</a>. I took an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of black cardstock and scored it at 2 3/4 inches on all sides. I cut the end score lines and folded it up into this box. So easy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The box is big enough to hold 2 small mason jars. They don't really slide around or anything, it's a nice snug fit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I created the candy corn on the front by cutting a big triangle on my Cricut. I then layered the orange and yellow cardstock on the front and trimmed up the sides with scissors. Instant candy corn!<br />
<br />

<br />
I will give you one guess what I put in the mason jars...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I cut a square of fabric to cover the top of the jar and then placed it on top. I screwed the lid down tight and added a baker's twine bow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had so much fun putting this together! I dug deep into my paper stash to find that houndstooth paper. I have no idea who makes it but it was perfect for this project.<br />
<br />
Now I want to know...do YOU like candy corn???<br />
<br />

Isn't it pretty??!!! The yellows and the greys are so so pretty and I had a ball making cards! I fussy cut the stamped sunflowers and layered them with the pretty lace and yellow ribbon.<br />

Beth added so many great embellies, like pearls and flowers and stickpins. I think I used all of these smaller flowers.<br />

It's a Hearty Oat Bread and it's so good. It's a no-yeast recipe, so don't turn away yet! It's really delicious and thick and would go great with any fall soup or stew. <br />

It's a great combination of both white and wheat flours, with some oats thrown in as well. And some oats thrown on the top, too!<br />

I made this with minestrone soup and it was great. I also had it the next morning for breakfast with some honey butter and it was also great! It's the perfect fall bread recipe, especially if you are afraid of making yeast breads. This one is very easy. I hope you give it a try!<br />

We had another great weekend of Southern California soccer and beautiful weather. I know, I sound like a broken record about soccer. Both my kids play and their season isn't over for another 4 weeks. I do love to watch my kids play! The weather was much nicer this weekend so it was a great soccer weekend. We also got our house all decorated for Halloween, we are in the spirit over here!<br />
<br />
When my daughter bridged from Brownies to Juniors for girl scouts, I wanted to make friendship frames for all the girls in her troop. I dug into my Momenta Kaleidescope paper pack and created these frames for the girls.<br />
<br />

<br />
These are dollar wood frames from Michael's and I used mod podge to cover the front with patterned paper. I cut the tag on my Cricut and added rolled flowers to both the tags and the corner of the frame.<br />
<br />

<br />
I made 14 of these frames and when I was done making all those rolled flowers I swore I'd never make another one of those flowers again!! Ha ha!<br />

My daughter put her frame on her nightstand, so I know she likes it. That makes all the rolled flowers worth it, for sure.<br />
<br />

This week is slipping through my fingers. We had some crazy rain today which ended up being pretty sweet because we spotted a double rainbow on the way home from soccer practice...which was in the rain. My son thought soccer practice in the rain was the coolest thing ever. <br />
<br />
I have 2 Momenta cards to share today. They both feature their new metal embellishments!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The metal butterfly is pretty thin and lightweight and it's self adhesive! I love that I don't have to hunt for some kind of adhesive that will work. It's already there. I also enjoy all the Momenta sticker sayings. They save me time when I don't want to pull out my stamping stuff. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just got back from a lovely long weekend with my family. We rented a house in Three Rivers, which is right outside the Sequoia National Park. We literally had a river in our backyard and we did alot of fishing, hiking, rock scrambling, swimming, and exploring. It was wonderful!<br />
<br />
Now...back to the grind. And I would be seriously lost without my weekly calendar. I made this from a 12x12 photo frame, some Momenta paper, and my Cricut.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2MAWRO7UE9NVL98qfH06R8XBrq1LMinGSWSCce0F6NF3_lYEX9_bzdY4rdnUOehRAHuCHg8L5Nx8lX8bMdLGlszvViJzZW2pfyGsANK0x2PxDjUDMEW3OKaEvRBxkyJ-3ry8axJN0K_Y/s1600/IMG_3617.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2MAWRO7UE9NVL98qfH06R8XBrq1LMinGSWSCce0F6NF3_lYEX9_bzdY4rdnUOehRAHuCHg8L5Nx8lX8bMdLGlszvViJzZW2pfyGsANK0x2PxDjUDMEW3OKaEvRBxkyJ-3ry8axJN0K_Y/s640/IMG_3617.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I removed the photo mat and added a 12x12 piece of patterned paper from the Family Outings Momenta paper pad. I added two small strips down the side. I cut the letters for all the days of the week on my Cricut and adhered them to the paper.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo0J5LGNijzB75uRYcpm3MO7C7WWxJWeWhq3CEP8bR7AnMxjrd3BbE1UKtM9HeJvNuRlXrF5hzmOTPJ5Dyeb0-FYLpWQkuSusVCewg2vfhjPMZLzQD5lW0di-W2hSlpsEo9tS_Zy5XVsU/s1600/IMG_3618.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo0J5LGNijzB75uRYcpm3MO7C7WWxJWeWhq3CEP8bR7AnMxjrd3BbE1UKtM9HeJvNuRlXrF5hzmOTPJ5Dyeb0-FYLpWQkuSusVCewg2vfhjPMZLzQD5lW0di-W2hSlpsEo9tS_Zy5XVsU/s640/IMG_3618.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I put the paper inside the frame and then added some clear layered stickers to the corner.<br />
<br />

<br />
That's it!! It was super easy! Now it hangs in my kitchen where I can see it every morning. I update it on Sunday night and then I can pretend that I actually have a handle on my week.<br />

You could use any size frame for this project. I had a 12x12 frame hanging around just waiting to be used. And the great thing about glass is you can write on it with a dry erase pen and then just wipe it off. Yeah!<br />
<br />

I hope you had a good week! The weather has finally calmed down a bit and i'm thinking fall might be right around the corner. I've got a quick share today, I made this card for a friend who is going through some rough stuff right now. I am hoping to get it in the mail this weekend.<br />

These are new papers from Momenta. It's called Ooh La La and I love the blue and pink combo together. I punched out some circles to create a flower, added a doily and some bling, and stamped a sentiment from Unity Stamps.<br />

I have not broken down and bought pumpkin yet, but apples are another great fall item to bake with. Add some cheesecake to those apples and you've got yourself a dessert.<br />

The crust on these bars was amazing. I could have eaten a plate of just the crust it was so good!<br />

The cheesecake layer was delicious and the caramel drizzle on top was equally delicious. We even added vanilla ice cream on top, although I don't know if that is proper cheesecake eating technique.<br />

It was so hot today, it hit triple digits. Can it please just be fall already?? Please? I'm kinda done with this heat, especially since there is no time to enjoy it at the beach lately. To hopefully entice fall to come and stay for a while, i'm sharing another back to school (from 2 years ago) layout.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found some Pebbles papers in my stash that I had forgotten about and thought they were perfect for scrapping this photo. I loved that my daughter decided to wear her scarf on the first day of school! Isn't she a cutie?? Her hands tightly holding the scarf give her nerves away!<br />
<br />
I love these corrugated silver letters, they are by Momenta. The sticker letters are by Pebbles. A nice match!<br />
<br />

<br />
The Pebbles kraft paper has a faint doily pattern to it so I scattered a few baking doilies on the layout. I didn't do much journaling, just the facts!<br />

I hope you are not suffering from terrible heat right now. It seems like summer weather skipped us over this summer and decided to land smack at the beginning of October. I can't wait for a little bit of fall!<br />
