Baklava

Here's another page for my digitally scrapped recipe book!!!

My husband really loves baklava and it's pretty easy to make so the last time I made I took pictures so I could add it to my book.

I did everything in Paint.net. I even made the background my self!!! I was really impressed and can't remember how I did it.

All I know is I started with a fractal image and then started changing it and adding different effects until it looked like this.

You can try this too since paint.net is free. Try the recipe also...it's fantastic!!

Lyrical Letters

I can't wait until the mail gets here today!!! I have loved this Lyrical Letters cartridge for my Cricut since everyone started pre-selling it!!.

I balked at the price though. The lowest I found it for was 50.00 at Oh My Crafts and although that's where I normally buy my cartridges I couldn't afford that price.

So I went to Ebay. I knew I had 36.00 in my Paypal account so that would be my limit. Then, I just started bidding on cartridges one at a time. As soon as I lost a bid I'd move on to the next one and guess what??? It only took me 21 tries!! I finally won an auction and got my cartridge for 34.15 with free shipping.

It should be here today....just in time for the weekend!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Here are the Mother's Day cards I made this year (I always have to make three of them!!) Sometimes I cheat and just make them all the same but this year I got my sponge out and just went crazy!!

The two main sets I used are: Petal Prints, Serene Spring
