One of my favorite summer time sides.  I do make it all year long.  This page will go into my son's recipe book. 


I was inspired by the ARTastic Challenge June Challenge:

Our inspiration this month comes to you from Renee Farrant with My tree words worth.

CRITERIA - Let's focus on the words ...
You can do this via patterned paper, embellishments, a grand title, journaling, or a combination of them all!

Graduation Time



It's that time of year again when graduations take place.  They will be different this year during our COVID 19 with  social distancing.  So this card will be sent out and no party to go to.





I used the Feeling Sketchy #243 for my inspiration.  I turned the sketch and used the graduations hats instead of circles.

Summer Dreams

I had summer dreams in Spring 2019 while in Bermuda.  hubby and i went on a Cruise and enjoyed ever minute of it.


I created this page for this Summer Dreams Challenge at Challenge YOUrself:

Cookin' Up Creations Clue game continued.


Clue #3  My challenge for you today is to be inspired by Colonel Mustard and use yellow as the primary background color on your page!

Clue #4  Your challenge today is Miss Scarlet. I picked her because she is my favorite color and so sophisticated. A prim and proper lady for her time. You can't possibly think that little ol me would be involved......right?
So take this sketch and create yourself a monochromatic layout using Red!

Clue #5  Today we are focusing on the hallways between Hill House Manor's rooms. Notice the tile pattern. Your challenge for today is to create a LO with a tile (grid) pattern. The size of and the number of tiles is up to you.


Clue #6  My challenge for you this week is to be inspired by the following Clue weapon -- the knife! So use either fussy cut or laser cut embellishments on your page! I used laser cut chipboard for my title in this example layout:


Clue #7  Since it's Monday we have a sketch for you with a twist. I'm wondering if the murder weapon could have been a lead pipe. So, on your layout you will need to use something metal. On my layout the butterflies are metal accents.





There are  more challenges to come so join the challenge if you dare.

What's For Dinner?


I love quiche.  I make it for dinner about once a month.  It is a great way to use up any leftover meat; as long as I have eggs.
