Some More Stars and Stripes

Hello my Blog followers, I have missed you!  First of all let me apologize for being absent for so long.  We were so busy moving in to our new place and had fathers day, my husbands birthday, and a very sad teething baby all going on at once.  Then on top of all that my body felt it was a good time to get very sick!  Isn't that how it always goes as a mother though ;).  I'm am still recovering, but I thought I  ought to let you all know that the Blog is still around!!

Today we are going to share just a few more Stars and Stripes ideas from Doodlebug Designs Blog.  We are going to be featuring Doodlebug Stars and Stripes in our email on Monday at 50% off, so we thought we would give you a head start on some ideas.  I love this line so much with all of its patriotic flare, I couldn't help but share some more.

First we have a more masculine layout that I really love.

  And second some adorable little treat bags.
I hope this got your creative juices flowing!  Be sure to check back on Tuesday for an all new recipe for Tasty Tuesday!

Happy Crafting!

Grandma Browns Hot Peach Shortcake

My Grandma was such a sweet lady and always made me, and I'm sure my siblings, feel so special!  She would send us a hand made birthday card every birthday and would make these cute little envelopes out of wrapping paper for Christmas and put a $2 bill in it.  Best of all she would make a pumpkin pie just for me every Thanksgiving because she knew how much I loved it! 

My Grandma was such a good cook and made countless dishes that I grew up with and love to this day.  I'm excited to share one of my favorite recipes with you, Grandma Browns Hot Peach Shortcake!

What you will need:
2 1/3 cups Bisquick
3 TBS sugar
3 TBS melted butter
2/3 C. milk
about 3-4 peaches (or other fruit of choice)
Half and Half, to your liking
Powdered sugar, to your liking

Set the oven to bake at 425.  In a medium bowl combine Bisquick, sugar, butter, and milk and mix together until well combined.  Then spoon into a greased pie pan.  Bake for 15-17 minutes.  Then while still hot cut and serve into bowls, top with fruit, powdered sugar, and half and half.  My family has also tries this with strawberries, raspberries, and oranges and it all tasted fantastic,  Enjoy! Serves 8

This is one of my favorite, remind me of home, comfort food to make, and the best part it is so so easy.  I Hope you enjoy and be sure to check our last post to enter to win the June Giveaway!

Happy Crafting!

I Heart Summer Ideas

Hello again Blog followers!  I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and were able to take a moment to remember those that you love that have passed, and I hope you were able to have some fun.  I was lucky enough to be able to spend a lot of time with my husband (which hardly happens), my beautiful baby, and family.  My husband works very hard and long hours, so it was a special treat to be able to see so much of him the past few days!  With all this wonderful weather we have been having we were also able to start jogging again and it has been so great and felt so good!

I am so excited that summer is coming.  I'll be honest, I have never really enjoyed summer a whole lot because I hate being hot, but, with having my baby, I am sick of trying to find fun things to do inside and so I'm excited we can now venture outside to have fun!  Speaking of summer, have you seen the new Simple Stories I Heart Summer line?!  It is fantastic, bright, and full of color - as summer should be.    I have a few of my favorite ideas from the Simple Stories Blog, be sure to check their blog to see many more fabulous ideas!

Thanks again for all your support and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!

Tasty Tuesday Better Than Anything Cake

Tasty Tuesday returns!  This is a cake that I crave very often and has been a favorite of mine for years.  We like to call it Better than ANYTHING Cake.

What you will need:
1 box Chocolate cake
1 can sweetened condensed milk
caramel syrup (to your taste)
1 8oz container of whip cream
2 score bars crushed up



Prepare the chocolate cake according to box instructions.  When it is done, pull it out of the oven and poke holes in it.  Then drizzle the sweetened condensed milk and the caramel syrup all around the cake and in the holes and all over the cake to your liking.  Then let cool completely so the whip cream doesn't melt. Spread the whip cream and sprinkle the score bar on top.  Serve and enjoy!
Helpful hint: you could also use Heath bar.

Again I wanted to thank all of you for the great turn out of comments we got for this giveaway and we are working on improvements.  We will for sure be doing a discount code soon exclusively for our blog followers, so be sure to check back!  Thank you all for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!

May Giveaway Winner and A Little About Me

I am excited to announce our lucky winner for the May Giveaway is....CYNTHIA B.!  Congratulations on your win! Please email your address to allscrapbooksteals@gmail.com so we can send your prize to you!

I am just floored with the turn out of comments we got this for this giveaway!  It was our best turn out yet and I really appreciate all of the feedback I got from everyone.  It is very helpful to know what kinds of projects you guys are looking for and what I can do to make the blog better. We are excited to get started on those changes.  I also didn't realize how many people liked to follow my Tasty Tuesday, so that will definitely be sticking around!

Today I thought it would be fun to tell you all a little bit more about me, since you don't know much.  First off today is a pretty special day, it is my 4 year anniversary of being married to my best friend and the greatest man I know.  My husband's name is Dave and we have been together for 5 years now.  He is a photographer and is going to school right now for a BFA in photography - so that is where all the great pictures of our baby come from.  He is also the designer of all the emails you all get everyday for the website!
  We have a little 6 1/2 month old baby named Dean and he is my pride and joy.  He is growing up way to fast, he doesn't want to crawl and just wants to walk, he wants to feed himself, and he has two teeth already.  I love him more and more everyday, and he is my sunshine.
I am 25 and I have tried a little bit of everything I feel like.  I went to school to be an English major, then Culinary, Hospitality Management, actually graduated in Personal Fitness Training, then went back for a bit for a Dance Major.  Oh, and I did Cosmetology at a tech school during High School.  So like a said I have tried a lot of things and I don't regret it, now I have a little experience in a lot of fields that I have interest in.  Now you know why I like to do the Tasty Tuesday, Culinary school was very fun, but I was more interested in baking and there wasn't enough of that in the program.  My favorite things to do are anything with my little family, reading, baking, singing, creating and trying new restaurants.   I love that I get to have a Blog for my creative outlet in baking, decorating, and scrapbooking.  Most of all I love to have this Blog to get to work from home, it is the best! 

So that is a little tid bit about me and I hope to let you get to know me better and that I can get to know all of you better through this Blog!  Thanks for reading :)

Happy Crafting!
