Homemade FROZEN Waffles with PPPR...

It's my turn again to post over at the PPPR Blog and I'm really excited about this share!

Today I'm sharing a layout documenting the waffle bar we had a couple of weekends ago. My daughter is in love with the movie Frozen...I mean who isn't, right? So...I had the great idea of making her "FROZEN" waffles by adding some snow-themed sprinkles to the batter before I threw them in the waffle maker then adding some on top once they were cooked. The waffles really did turn out pretty tasty..definitely will be a repeat recipe!

-------------------------------------

Look at all those layers...LOVE that about Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files!

Here's a look at the files I used...

Baking Fun Cutting Files

Cookie & Milk Cutting Files

Egg-cellent Cutting Files

Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope my layout inspires you to either create or make FROZEN waffles!!!

Homemade Cookies in a Box...

Hey guys and gals...it's Katy from An Inside To My Heart!

I'm SUPER EXCITED to be guest designing over at Jaded Blossom while their talented DT takes a much-needed break for the Holidays!

One of the things I absolutely LOVE about Christmas is BAKING COOKIES!!! When I saw the Cookies for You stamp set, I knew it would be perfect for this family tradition! I originally planned on using it for my December Daily Album but since we haven't come to that activity yet, I decided to make this CUTE box full of everything you need to decorate sugar cookies!

--------------------------------------------------

Here are some closeups...this stamp set actually says a whole LOT more but I wanted it to be a square so I masked it off...LOVE that about Photopolymner stamps...you can see right through them so you know what you're doing!

--------------------------------------------

The recipient will just slip the tag and bow off the box...

---------------------------------------------

And...here's what's inside...

How SIMPLE and CUTE would this be for your neighbors, your co-workers, your grandchildren...anyone who loves to BAKE!!!

Want to make your own...here's what you need:

Cookies Just For You - Jaded Blossom

Box that will fit it all

Simply Inspired by Seasonal Expressions 1...

Welcome to another Simply Inspired Blog Hop brought to you by some pretty FABULOUSLY CREATIVE CTMH Consultants!

This month, we are showcasing the NEW Seasonal Expressions...

If you've come from Dana's Blog, you're on the right track...keep on hopping 'till you get back to where you started! There are only 17 of us so it shouldn't take long!

I decided to go pretty simple for my card using the Mojo Monday Sketch 374...

I used the NEW Hopscotch Paper Packet, Complements, Assortment & PML card.  I also used a new stamp set from the SE1...Wish. I added some NEW Flaxen Extra Thick Twin and a little glittery White Shimmer Trim.

Now hop on over to Tina's Blog for some more AWESOME peeks at the new product...it'll knock your socks off!

Here's the Mojo Monday Sketch I used in case you want to play along!

Let It Snow...

It's my week to post over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Blog and I'm going with a shaped card and a sentiment that I truly love...

I used CTMH's Snowhaven Paper Packet and Silver Sequins.

You'll have to go check out the PPPR Blog to see the full card...there are also links to the cut files I used!

Warm & Cozy...

Snowhaven has to be one of the BEST snow-themed paper packet CTMH has ever had!

The addition of the bold color of Cranberry and the darkness of the Black creates a non-traditional option for your snow pictures.

I saw some chevron paper and wanted to re-create using CTMH paper...it wasn't that hard either!

------------------------------------------------------

I added Snowhaven Complements and Snowhaven Assortment (those cute little White Epoxy Diamonds) and a few Silver Sequins and Red Sparkles...

Home for the Holidays SOTM Blog Hop...

Welcome to this month's SOTM Blog Hop featuring Home For The Holidays...

If you've come from Michelle's Blog, you're on the right track...keep on hopping 'till you get back to where you started.  If you're starting here...WELCOME!!! If you happen to get lost along the way or just want to see who is participating this month, head on over to Melinda's Blog for the complete list!

Here's what the stamp set looks like...CUTE, huh!  All those red lines mean that you can cut those shape using CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut Collection!

I wanted to use the NEW Artfully Sent Cricut Collection and Snowhaven (LOVE the colors!!!)...so I came up with this 5x7 card and envelope (both patterns can be found on the Cartridge)...

--------------------------------------------------

Here's a close-up of the CHRISTMAS cutout...the Black B&T from Snowhaven in the background is the inside of the card...the "Merry" is from one of the THREE stamp sets you get with the Artfully Sent Cricut Collection...stamped it used Cranberry Ink and fussy-cut around it then pop-dotted with Thin 3D-Foam Tape...added some Silver Sequins because I'm on a sequin kick right now...lol

--------------------------------------------------

I used Thin 3D-Foam Tape to pop up the "Do not peek..." tag...I stamped in Glacier Ink the again in Cranberry.  I took a 3/4" circle punch and punched out the "Until 25" and pop-dotted using Thin 3D-Foam Tape.  The bow is made using a tiny 2" strip of Ruby Chevron Ribbon and Black Hemp

-----------------------------------------------------

Here's the backside of the envelope...envelope was made using Yuletide Carol B&T

-----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

Here's a close-up of the Polar Bear stamp that shows on the front of the Envelope...I used the Ruby Chevron Ribbon a couple of places on this card...

----------------------------------------------------------

In order to get this look, I stamped this image 4 times...the Cranberry is the bottom...the Glacier is the snowflake background and I just cut around the square...once in Black and then I cut out around the Polar Bear...then again in Whisper and cut out the scarf and adhered it with Thin 3D-Foam Tape. These cuts were easy to do because it's a lot of strait lines AND it makes it worth it!!!
