Click HERE to enter my ribbon giveaway! Choosing winner later today!


Good Morning! Hope everyone's week is going smoothly! Last night, I made a super quick and easy card to share with you. I love quick and easy projects because I don't have a lot of time on most days. Here's my card~

 Here's what I used~
Kraft cardstock
NEW Smash tape
K. Andrew Design stamps for sentiment (Owly Hoo)
random circle stamps
inkadinkadoo inks
twine by MME

I can't believe Rye turns 6 months tomorrow! She loves to play with Gretchen's keyboard already! Soo cute!!

I also want to share a recipe for banana bread with you all. I have posted this before months ago but I want to share again because it is so good and so easy! I have literally made this hundreds of times!! It turns out perfect every single time!

Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup melted butter
nuts optional

In Large bowl mash bananas, add sugar and egg, mix..add rest of ingredients and mix well.
Bread takes about 1 hour but you can also make into muffins or mini muffins!

These muffins/bread are always a hit!! So easy, doesn't take too many ingredients,  and I just use one bowl ~so easy clean up, too!

I hope you all have a great day! I will be choosing a random winner for the ribbons, laces, twines, and flosses later today so if you haven't entered yet, go comment on that post! (Link at top of this post.) As always, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment so I know you were here!

Love the Earth Card~Getting Cricky

Click here to enter my give away! 

Hi Again Friends! I have a quick project to share with you all before I go to bed. I made this card to enter in the "Give a Hoot" challenge over at Getting Cricky with K. Andrew! You must use an owl and something recycled and I was sure to do both!

I used my Owly Hoo stamp set by K. Andrew..I just love  it! I also used my new crinkle ribbon from 

3 Girl JAM in iris for the rose on the owls head and baby girl for the bow. I used core'dinations cardstock for the most of the papers, give a hoot cricut cartridge, and a painted pop can tab. 

Head on over to Getting Cricky to join in on the fun challenge this week! Have a great night!

Thank You's, Fun Finds, and a GIVEAWAY!!!!

Hi Crafty Friends! Hope you all had a good weekend! Mine was pretty good. Went to a crop on Saturday, a bowling Birthday party for my daughter's little friend yesterday and then shopping. Whoo hoo!

So today, I want to say "thank you" to 3 Girl Jam for the beautiful hand dyed crinkle ribbon I recieved in the mail Saturday! I won it during the blog hop last weekend on their facebook page. Look at this ribbon..

Isn't it pretty?? Please go check out 3 Girl Jam's blog to get your own. :)

Next, I want to say "Thanks so much" to Carri at DoubleClick- AKA Abusybee for the Domino Cuttlebug folder, embossed paper, and card! I won some blog candy at her blog recently during an embossing blog hop she was involved it. Here's a picture of what she sent..

Look at the adorable little card and the embossed paper!! Please check out Carri's blog for beautiful cards daily!!

Now, I want to show you the cool cheap stuff I found yesterday while thrift store shopping! I found this for $2!!!!

Here is what I did with it..

It's my new scrap organizer thingy! lol This is only some of my scraps..it's out of control! I can never find what I am looking for so I cut a new piece. I sure hope this helps!

Next, I found this ribbon for just $2!

Then this huge spool of cream colored embroidery floss stuff for just $1..

I also found this 11 1/4 inch doily for 35 cents..

So, for the organizer, ribbon, floss, and doily it was $5.35! AWESOME! 

I also want to say "thank you" to my followers! I want to give one person some ribbons, laces,  twines, and flosses. So, if you are a follower and would like to win some crafty goodies, leave me a comment on this post.
