I used the Timberline product line on this layout, as well as, the stamp set Camper Crazy. I had some other camping stamp sets on hand that I used, too. The camper was made on my Silhouette Cameo. Our camping pictures from Minnesota will go here. Never mind that we stayed in a nice cabin!<br />

I was anxious to read Emily Giffin's latest novel…The One and Only. I've read several of her books in the past and really liked them. It took me a while to "feel" this one-possibly because of the football theme that ran throughout it. However, that might be right up your alley! All in all, I'd rate this novel with three out of five stars. <br />
<br />

<strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">In her eagerly awaited new novel, beloved <em>New York Times</em>bestselling author Emily Giffin returns with an extraordinary story of love and loyalty—and an unconventional heroine struggling to reconcile both.</strong><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Thirty-three-year-old Shea Rigsby has spent her entire life in Walker, Texas—a small college town that lives and dies by football, a passion she unabashedly shares. Raised alongside her best friend, Lucy, the daughter of Walker’s legendary head coach, Clive Carr, Shea was too devoted to her hometown team to leave. Instead she stayed in Walker for college, even taking a job in the university athletic department after graduation, where she has remained for more than a decade.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">But when an unexpected tragedy strikes the tight-knit Walker community, Shea’s comfortable world is upended, and she begins to wonder if the life she’s chosen is really enough for her. As she finally gives up her safety net to set out on an unexpected path, Shea discovers unsettling truths about the people and things she has always trusted most—and is forced to confront her deepest desires, fears, and secrets.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />

Each month, we'll be making two 2-page layouts and a calendar page. At the end of 2014, we'll each have 24 layouts and a full calendar to give as a gift or keep for ourselves. Let me show you what we did for the first month of the year. <div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj77MabNNKHPCHaVuLqulw0Fa4H8yQD-C_xHasI8N81R0XB7PIgxwrEPpbQ3KjvNJEUQPbaxath-KCOqZx9_9AcBZ4ZSG9fBPy5Mty-QtYiKffU3ZlCX7crNlf3y9amUlluLQ6oJzFyoiU/s1600/IMG_0507+-+Version+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj77MabNNKHPCHaVuLqulw0Fa4H8yQD-C_xHasI8N81R0XB7PIgxwrEPpbQ3KjvNJEUQPbaxath-KCOqZx9_9AcBZ4ZSG9fBPy5Mty-QtYiKffU3ZlCX7crNlf3y9amUlluLQ6oJzFyoiU/s1600/IMG_0507+-+Version+2.JPG" height="183" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
For this layout, I cut out shapes with my Silhouette Cameo. The colors in real life are very vivid. Unfortunately, this photo doesn't do the project justice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Here is the second layout. I used my Cricut Artiste cartridge to cut the snowflake border, individual snowflakes, title shape, and long skinny background shapes under photo mats. I used a Close to my Heart Workshop on the Go template to design these pages.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Our calendar page is my favorite. Again, I put my Silhouette Cameo to work. It cut the glittery snowflakes and letters out very easily. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

It was my consultant start up kit. Listed below are five things I really like about CTMH.<br />
<br />
1. My Acrylix Stamps-Since their stamp sets are clear, you can see exactly where you are stamping. If you don't make a perfect imprint the first time you stamp, no problem!! You can stamp right over the first image, because you can see it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAGOVmW4FSvOPsMGqbAClbNCd7sGxkif_g4XmiOKxDSZMJCOAfmfnPSlVNKdmdB1JeVWb-NcUFOjXt3RtMUwSteBA54UziicSaqm9fqHXcYRMoXpzHq2neFdG54QllqSgUJrMskN9odCk/s1600/2008-my-acrylix-stamps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAGOVmW4FSvOPsMGqbAClbNCd7sGxkif_g4XmiOKxDSZMJCOAfmfnPSlVNKdmdB1JeVWb-NcUFOjXt3RtMUwSteBA54UziicSaqm9fqHXcYRMoXpzHq2neFdG54QllqSgUJrMskN9odCk/s320/2008-my-acrylix-stamps.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Workshops on the Go-Although you can buy their beautiful papers by themselves, Workshops on the Go includes not only papers but stickers, embellishments, a stamp set and more. Plus, CTMH provides you with a pamphlet to put it all together to make at least a couple of layouts and usually an extra craft.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF7HL2BbSQZDdSc0RlNmtQwoizOSt-3UtwMoRFu-NK7oirP6JNkANeNUwOtqQcfaS4RtMoWTXQP0TODagQN5GGLqP3M49Tx5x01Tuwa0f81XGEJA8FT1L6H1BeXIORPYA4kvjqAzVg3po/s1600/G1053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF7HL2BbSQZDdSc0RlNmtQwoizOSt-3UtwMoRFu-NK7oirP6JNkANeNUwOtqQcfaS4RtMoWTXQP0TODagQN5GGLqP3M49Tx5x01Tuwa0f81XGEJA8FT1L6H1BeXIORPYA4kvjqAzVg3po/s320/G1053.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. Stamp set of the month-Each month that you spend $50, you will have the opportunity to buy the stamp set of the month for only $5. Shown below is this months set.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54VS5L0zK-Va81R4aeSE3wBR8YuF40QuM1oIzCr8g4jT8VErIXr_B5eczgeiQ4UVGZVwh4lVRHk_LAdPJG-SFkLNwJQZ16OF0cf3SoXk6LdsV_LK0aD_kTmVeRAvd43AXrfbPUzo8yP0/s1600/1310-sotm-stamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54VS5L0zK-Va81R4aeSE3wBR8YuF40QuM1oIzCr8g4jT8VErIXr_B5eczgeiQ4UVGZVwh4lVRHk_LAdPJG-SFkLNwJQZ16OF0cf3SoXk6LdsV_LK0aD_kTmVeRAvd43AXrfbPUzo8yP0/s320/1310-sotm-stamp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Flip Flaps-I tend to be camera happy and often have too many pictures for my layout. Flip flaps allow you to add more pictures to a page in a unique way. Simply add these specially sized photo protectors to the outside of your large page protector to make a mini album in itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

5. Storage-Scrap bookers tend to collect a lot of stuff. I only speak from personal experience! CTMH has some very handy storage solutions that help with organization. I can get 15 stamp sets in this baby!</div>

They make the scrapbooking process so much easier. It's sometimes hard to fill up a 12x12 layout, but KLD makes that process so much less stressful. I love the results of my layouts when I use their templates. No, I don't sell their products...just want to spread by word of mouth how much I like their items. To make the layout below, I used:<br />
<br />
*Paper Pack Cheekee Monkey by Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)<br />
*KLD Templates Aspen Court 1A and 1B, Nature 5 (www.kiwilane.com)<br />
*Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Vintage Photo (Hobby Lobby)<br />
*Silhouette for Title<br />

(KLD) They sell templates that help scrapbookers design their pages. This is great for people who are visual like myself. They have 96+ youtube videos, and I'm bound and determined to watch them all before I go back to school in the fall. Their layouts are so beautiful! I especially like the way they teach scrappers how to choose the paper they are going to use. This <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je7LCCN0klI">video</a> will show you how to pick an assortment of patterns that will work well together. <br />

The process of getting started on a page is really quite easy:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Layer the templates on a page that you'd like to use. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Use the templates to cut matching patterns, and replace the templates on the page as you go along. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Ink the edges of the pattern pieces to give it a finished look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Adhere to the page.</div>

Orphan Train was a very interesting book, and I really enjoyed reading it. I was unfamiliar with the practice of trying to find homes for orphaned children in the early 1900's by putting hundreds of them on trains. The train would stop at towns along its journey, and the children would be paraded in front of couples hoping to find a child to adopt. Many of them were given loving homes, while others were used for cheap labor. This is the story of a girl who rode one of the orphan trains. I could hardly put the book down and bet you won't be able to either!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">The author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be delivers her most ambitious and powerful novel to date: a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Nearly eighteen, Molly Ayer knows she has one last chance. Just months from "aging out" of the child welfare system, and close to being kicked out of her foster home, a community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping her out of juvie and worse.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Vivian Daly has lived a quiet life on the coast of Maine. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">The closer Molly grows to Vivian, the more she discovers parallels to her own life. A Penobscot Indian, she, too, is an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. As her emotional barriers begin to crumble, Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life - answers that will ultimately free them both.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.</span><br />

Last summer, we went camping in the beautiful state of Minnesota. My grandparents used to live there, so it is a special place for us to visit as often as we can. Some wonderful memories were made with my dad on that trip. I made this little scrapbook album as a keepsake for him. However, I don't think he's going to get this one. Good thing I bought two!</div>

Because there are so many good recipes on the internet, my cookbooks were hardly ever used any more and were just taking up space. Here is a recipe for Spicy Sweet Bacon Chicken that I found on Pinterest. It was a home run at the dinner table tonight!<br />

You can bake this recipe in the oven at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, but we grilled ours outside instead. It was delish! Let me know if you try this recipe and like it. </div>

Getting my hands on a good book this summer was one of my primary goals. I recently finished <u>The Storyteller</u> by Jodi Picoult (loved it!) and now need to decide on another title. The list below, recommended by Frisco ISD Librarians, will help me do just that. If you're in need of a good book to dive into, it might just assist you, too! <br />

Mine are to get back to my first crafting love...scrapbooking and to learn a new skill...sewing. I have the best Santa, and he bought me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. I'll have to tell you about this wonderful machine in another post, but it is going to help me with that first goal. <br />
<br />
Doggone that Pinterest. They just make everything look so easy...even sewing. Now, don't look for me to make any articles of clothing. I just want to know how to #1 thread my machine and #2 sew a straight line, but I'm looking forward to making a few things I've seen on the web. Sewing on cards and scrapbook pages is also really popular, and I want to know how to do that. <br />
<br />
I enjoy making a small scrapbook each year to highlight the happenings of the Hobbies each month. Here is an 8x8 layout that I've made for January. It's all ready to insert a couple of pictures. <br />

In club this month, we made a 6x6 scrapbook page to fit the Thanksgiving theme. I wanted to make a simple turkey, because most of my customers have children. The body of the turkey was made with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge by cutting out a three inch oval. SU's large oval punch was used for the feathers. For the comb of the turkey's head, I used a bow from a giftbox of a Cricut cartridge. His beak was made from a square punch cut in half to make a triange. The waddle came from yet another punch...the wing of the SU's bird punch. <br />
<br />
Of course, this scrapbook page will look much more complete showcasing a picture. I plan to have each of my family members write something that they are thankful for on the pull out tag. Gobble-gobble! <br />

This recipe is familiar to all of us, but its presentation caught my eye right away. A friend of mine brought this seven layer dip in individual servings to our last stamping club, and I'm stealing the idea to take to a ladies event tonight. Thanks for sharing, Kim! Here is the recipe just in case you want to use the idea, too. Kim won't mind. She's a sweetheart. <br />
<br />
<strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
2 cans refried beans<br />
1 package taco seasoning<br />
2 cups guacamole<br />
1 8oz. container sour cream<br />
2 cups salsa or pico de gallo<br />
1 cup shredded cheese<br />
2 tomatoes<br />
1/2 bunch sliced green onions<br />
1 small can sliced black olives, drained<br />
9 ounce plastic tumblers<br />
tortilla chips<br />
<br />
<strong>Directions:</strong><br />
In a small bowl, mix refried beans and taco seasoning. Layer the ingredients in each cup in the following order: beans/taco seasoning mix, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives, and green onions. Store in the refrigerator until serving time and serve with chips. I used Frito Scoops. This recipe makes about 12 nine ounce cups. <br />
<br />
Kim obtained this recipe from this great blog: <a href="http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/">www.sixsistersstuff.com</a> Mrs. Hobbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13239441709275523105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835627664191981935.post-80455027453659166252012-10-06T10:50:00.000-07:002013-07-21T08:17:40.831-07:00Triple Time Stamping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gently peel the layers apart and mat them on three different sizes of card stock. The mat sizes shown here are 2 1/4x 3 1/2, 3 1/4x 4 1/2, and 5 1/2x 8 1/2 (folded in half to make the base of my card). </div>

Tomorrow at club, we'll be making this 6x6 scrapbook page to hold a spooky Halloween photo. I know the bow does not go with my son's scary picture but couldn't resist how cute it looks. I'll be yanking it off before he can see it. If you'd like to make a page like it, here are the materials I used. <br />
<br />
Paper: very vanilla, black, Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP<br />
Stamps: Spooky Bingo Bits. Jack of all Trades, Tricky Treats<br />
Ink: black, tangerine tango<br />
Embellishments: black and gray satin ribbon<br />
Tools: 1 inch circle punch, 1 3/8 square punch<br />

I enjoyed reading this book about characters who experience the joys and complexities of adoption...a subject close to my heart. I hated to see this book come to an end, but feel hopeful that it might have a sequel. Its ending certainly lent itself to that possibility. Pick up a copy. I bet you'll love it, too! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Marian Caldwell is a thirty-six year old television producer, living her dream in New York City. With a fulfilling career and satisfying relationship, she has convinced everyone, including herself, that her life is just as she wants it to be. But one night, Marian answers a knock on the door . . . only to find Kirby Rose, an eighteen-year-old girl with a key to a past that Marian thought she had sealed off forever. From the moment Kirby appears on her doorstep, Marian’s perfectly constructed world—and her very identity—will be shaken to its core, resurrecting ghosts and memories of a passionate young love affair that threaten everything that has come to define her.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">For the precocious and determined Kirby, the encounter will spur a process of discovery that ushers her across the threshold of adulthood, forcing her to re-evaluate her family and future in a wise and bittersweet light. As the two women embark on a journey to find the one thing missing in their lives, each will come to recognize that where we belong is often where we least expect to find ourselves—a place that we may have willed ourselves to forget, but that the heart remembers forever.

What is it with owls and birds lately? They're everywhere! It took a while, but they have grown on me. When I saw this stamp set in the Close To My Heart catalog, it haunted me until I bought it. I'm so glad that I did. Most of the materials used are Stampin Up, but of course, you can make it your own by using the stuff that you have on hand and changing it up a bit. That's what I did! <br />

There was only one problem. It had Rotel tomatoes in it. I'm always a little leery of using this delicious product. When Darlin Arlin and I were first married, I added Rotel to a pot of chili. He asked me if I was trying to kill him. His Yankee tastebuds just weren't used to the spice we use in the south. Well, I'll have you know that he's come a very long way since those early days of marriage. He actually likes spicy food now and doesn't even complain anymore if I put pepper in the mac and cheese. Ok, back to the recipe. Here are the things you'll need to make this tasty appetizer:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 pkgs. mini fillo shells (in the freezer section of the grocery store)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can Rotel, mostly drained (of course, I used mild)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 bag real bacon bits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 cups shredded colby and monterey jack cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now fill the shells. I just used a tablespoon of filling at first to make sure I had enough of the mixture to go around. Then, I went back and added a little more to those that needed it. </div>

</div>
Are your kids excited about going back to school? It's been fun listening to my son as he speculates who his new teacher will be and tries to guess which friends will be in his class. We are all set for the big day... new clothes, new shoes, new school supplies... just make the beginning of the school year exciting. One thing is for sure. My camera will be fully charged on that first day. Here is a 6x6 layout that is ready to hold those special pictures. <br />

It's called Oreo Delight. I got the recipe from one of the cooking blogs I follow <a href="http://mealsatthemuirs.blogspot.com/">Meals at the Muirs</a>. I don't like sugar (I know, totally weird), so I didn't even taste it, but it seemed to be a huge hit. Let me show you how to make it. You'll need the following ingredients:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Crush the whole bag of Oreos in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Save a 1/2 cup of Oreos to sprinkle on top of the dessert.</div>

Pour the rest of the Oreos in a glass 9x13 inch dish. Mix the melted butter in and press down to make a crust. </div>

For someone who can't stand to even look down the Christmas aisle at Hobby Lobby this time of year, I surely had a great time getting this class together. We made three projects: a card, box with tags, and a mini scrapbook. The No Peeking stamp set and Be of Good Cheer paper from Stampin Up was used on all of the items. Many thanks to Demonstrator Debra Simonis for sharing the idea of the card and box with tags. The scrapbook was made out of toilet paper rolls! I guess you really can make a scrapbook out of just about anything! Here is a closer look at all of the pages in the book. <br />

See the little tab at the right? Those are tags that additional photos or journaling can be written on.<br />
