Where Have I Been?

2012-01-27T15:05:00.000-05:00

OK - so I didn't realize I haven't posted since prior to Christmas / Holidays !! YIKES!!! I know I have a lot of scrapping to do but I didn't realize it's been a month since my last post. I guess this weekend will be a busy scrappy weekend. I do have some digital files / pics I can upload to share which are so much faster than the paper scrapping but I still love my paper scrapping more!

CHA is coming soon I can't wait to see what the new lines for 2012 will be? I hope last years shabby sheek style is replaced with bright and fun colors!!!

Happy Holidays!

Been busy lately...

2011-10-26T11:14:00.003-04:00

I've been a bit under the weather lately and haven't been in the mood to scrapbook in a while - as you can tell from my last post being in August! I've got a ton of work to do for sure! I started with these Halloween candy or pencil holders I created for my co-worker's son's class. I began with a manilla folder and cut the folder down to 4 inches and then cut it again to 2 inches wide - as you can see some are shorter than others as the paper cutter at work doesn't work like the one I have at home!!! I used my Quick Quotes Chalk Inks, stamps I found at AC Moore in the dollar bin!

Olivia the Queen

2011-08-31T14:36:00.000-04:00

My God Daughter Olivia enjoying the piers. She wanted to go under the pier so I walked all the way over there and you can only go so far - so she said take my picture to show everybody I was hanging out with the cool kids! FYI - we were the only ones under the pier.

The Twins

2011-08-30T14:33:00.000-04:00

Beach Vacation Digi layout

2011-08-26T14:16:00.004-04:00

Beach vacation 2011 in Seaside, NJ with the family! Had a great time!

She Is...

2011-08-24T20:22:00.001-04:00

I've been busy reading and traveling so I haven't had time to scrap but I'm planning on it shortly. I need a week of scrapping to even catch up to last year's events. So with that said, here is a quick layout I made tonight of my niece.

Journey

2011-08-08T13:46:00.000-04:00

Ah the younger days! This is the family in NJ on vacay! In this layout I used Prima flowers, Quick Quotes paper, cardstock solids and twine.

Kate & Pop

2011-08-07T13:42:00.000-04:00

I tried using the technique I learned from Invild Bolme from Prima in this layout so it's a bit odd, but I tried. I used Prima Products for this entire layout, Crate Paper again and the new line of Shappy Chic from Prima Marketing.

Our Family

2011-08-06T13:40:00.000-04:00

Here is the family that went to the tree cutting ceremony when they picked the tree for Rockefeller Center. I used Martha Steward Butterfly punch, Bella Blvd. sticker and ribbon from Two Chicks.

How Lovely

2011-08-05T13:38:00.001-04:00

This is Kate and Pop at the local yearly riverfront festival. She made him get on the strawberry spinner and he almost got sick! The paper collection is from Crate paper. I actually cut out the strawberry like 'old school' scrapbooking!

Fabulous Kate

2011-08-04T13:36:00.001-04:00

I used my Crate Paper stash for this layout, random riboon, rik rak black rhinestones and from the $1 bin at ACMoore the fabulous rhinestone.

Apple of My Eye..

2011-08-03T13:08:00.001-04:00

Here is my niece Kate when she was younger, possibly 2 ish on her tricycle watching TV - isn't that the correct way to watch TV?? I used Bella Blvd papers, Crate Paper, Prima flowers and twine.

Happy....

2011-08-02T13:06:00.002-04:00

Here is a quick layout I made last night with my Aunt Dotty and my wonderful cousin Tori at my birthday party - they look like they are up to no good - both of them right! I used new Prima flowers, glitter chipboard letters, AC Paper, Crate paper. I shredded some of the edges and folded, rolled and inked the ripped edges and cut out one of the flowers from the paper.

Fiona

2011-07-28T13:08:00.000-04:00

My father's dog Fiona.. What a character. This was her getting up on my lap outside because she wanted to be included in the conversation as always! Such a girl! In this layout I used Crate Paper, Prima flowers, random left over chipboard letters (I really need to start using my circuit more!) and Basic Grey buttons.

Just a girl layout

2011-07-27T13:07:00.000-04:00

This is a quick and easy layout I made of Jenna and her first quad - she couldn't walk but she had a quad! Too cute. The flowers are left overs from the Prima Class I took with Invild Bolme.

Memories Layout

2011-07-26T14:04:00.000-04:00

I took a class with Invild Bolme from Prima Marketing and this was the layout we created. She has some awesome tools coming out in September I highly recommend and can't wait to get my hands on them again! I haven't added a picture yet because I want one with my two beautiful niece's but I don't have one printed out yet.

Sassy

2011-07-15T11:16:00.000-04:00

This is my lovely cousin's daughter Karris when she was a tween. She will be graduating from college soon how the time flies!

Beware of...Attack Dog layout

2011-07-14T11:10:00.000-04:00

My lovely niece fell asleep on the couch while watching the Wizard of Oz so our Attack Dog stayed right by her side. We went to pick her up to bring her to bed and the dog started growling - something she never does - it was amazing - she really never even barks so I had to take this picture! I used Two Chicks ribbon, random star brads, American Crafts fabric chipboard.

Mudd Kidz

2011-07-13T11:08:00.002-04:00

Here is a quick layout I put together last night for the two mudd kidz in the family. Mudd happens often in our family when riding quads or just playing in the mudd. I used a few scraps of paper left over from other projects and I also created a quick flower, some gellies and Bella Blvd alpha letters.

Escape Artist

2011-07-08T13:25:00.000-04:00

Here is my neice when she was beginning to walk / crawl - she was taking off then someone said '..and where are you going missy?" and she made the best laugh ever - like getting busted! In this layout I used Bella Blvd camped out letters, random scraps of papers for the squares - as I hate to throw out even scraps! I also did faux stitching on this as well!

The Baby Squirrel's Snack Time

2011-07-07T13:22:00.000-04:00

My niece and I went to the park and a baby squirrel came out to meet us so we gave him / her a snack. In this layout I used Crate Paper, Rik Rak, American Crafts fabric chipboard letters and random scrap papers for the circle punches.

Drive. Love grows happiness

2011-07-06T14:20:00.000-04:00

In this layout I used Two Chicks Designs Chick-N-Noodles ribbon, Bella Blvd Border and random chipboard. My niece decided she wanted to drive my car in this layout.

Kate at 3

2011-07-02T11:00:00.001-04:00

This was the new tricycle she received as a birthday present. Here is she at Grandpa's house riding in the driveway eating her ice cream. In this layout I tried something new - I took my used dryer sheets and cut them in different circle sizes, then sprayed them with color mist and then added the stickles to the edges - really easy and fun, Prima Flowers, Crate paper chipboard, Bazzil in stiches.

1 Cute Chick

2011-06-30T11:15:00.000-04:00

Here is Kate again in her 1st Halloween costume - a cute chick! In this layout I used Pink Paislee Trellis Bayberry collection paper, Basic Grey Color Me Silly paper and tag, various chipboard letters (being scrappy here). My 3D flower was not a complete circle if you look really close, I meant to do this!!

Drive

2011-06-29T11:15:00.002-04:00

I think this was last year when my niece decided that she wanted to drive my car to her Florida vacation. We were patiently waiting for my mother to get out of physical therapy and switched seats while my father was the passenger. She was hilarious and tried to beep the horn! In this layout I used Pink Paislee House of 3 Soiree Music paper, Quick Quotes By the Bay papers, DCWV solid paper, Pebbles Glitter Flower Brads (in the center of the round flowers) and the little flowers on the top of the paper are made with Japanese Origami paper I purchased while on vacation in Japan.

A quick card

2011-06-28T15:49:00.002-04:00

Here is a quick card I made for a co-worker who is not doing so great at the moment and it's a guy so I didn't want to get too girly with my colors! Most of the paper is scraps that I had left over from other projects - that's being 100% scrappy!

Ride On

2011-06-25T14:06:00.000-04:00

This was an easy layout I wanted to do something a bit different yet simple. I use the Martha Stewart butterfly punch again - black paper this time - to make it a biker / rough image!, Studio Calico paper and AC papers, chipboard letters with a bit of glitter on them.

Trip To The Zoo

2011-06-24T14:04:00.000-04:00

Here is my niece again on our way to Bear Mountain Park / Zoo adventure! In this layout I used Pink Paislee Bullseye Cupid Collection, Chipboard, Pink Paislee notes - Bayberry Cottage, Basic Grey letters - mini mono stickers.

Having a blast!!!

2011-06-23T11:30:00.000-04:00

So this is an old picture of my niece when Grandpa gave her her first quad - Dora quad that is! I think she was maybe almost 2 in this picture and could only go straight but she had such a blast laughing and driving and ooh and laughing so much! This layout I used more scraps I had left over from previous projects.

Biker Gurl

2011-06-22T14:01:00.003-04:00

Here is a cute layout I'm entering into the Creative Scrappers Challenge #161 using the Girls Paperie Jubilee paperline, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, butterfly stickers, Cosmo Crickett blackboard Retro Mix chipboard and some random stickers

2011-06-22T11:30:00.000-04:00

Here is my mother and her sister enjoying a day sitting in the driveway watching the baby ducks (not pictured but they are at their feet) I used all my scraps that I had left over from other layouts. I never know what to do with these little pieces of paper but here is a layout that is easy and simple and looks great!

Our favorite cheerleader Jenna

2011-06-18T14:35:00.000-04:00

In this layout I used Sassafrass Life is Beautiful Woo & Woo, Basic Grey Color Me Silly Doodle, Sassfrass Thickers Green Graph.

2011-06-14T13:00:00.000-04:00

Freezin layout

2011-06-14T11:30:00.000-04:00

Here is my lovely niece Kate and my lovely God-daughter Olivia patiently waiting for their turn on the ferris wheel - did I mention it was December in NY and the city was having a holiday event in town. They stood their freezin but had such a great goofy time waiting. Once we were on the ferris wheel they were even more cold and runny noses and all - couldn't wait to get off of it. In this layout I used Bella Blvd Thanks a bunch paper, Kuno 3D stickers, Pink Paislee Capitvating Chipboard and Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe Collection Dresses.

My lovely Aunt Dorothy (Sue Ann)

2011-06-10T11:34:00.000-04:00

My Aunt Sue Ann's birthday last summer - yes last summer and I'm just scrapping this picture now - for her next birthday this month! I thought she would love to see her face in this picture - and yes she had two cakes for her birthday!

Here is a layout that I just through together really quickly - very basic layout that I wasn't sure would turn out ok with the 'dark' photos due to the lights being off for the singing of Happy Birthday. The paper is from Bella Blvd and a stack of die cuts I purchased at Michael's this weekend, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, bakers twine, K&Co Brads, Prima Flowers and my favorite Stickles.

I left the 'shorter' pages without pictures for them to either journal or add their own pictures to. This is Bella Blvd's Stephanie Hunt designing for Paislees and Polka Dot Kits that I won last year. Love these kits so easy and quick to create.

Presenting Genevieve and Sophia.. the infamous twins! We had a great day at the pool.

Life Lately...

2011-05-23T15:08:00.000-04:00

OK so I haven't scrapped or exercised in a few months now. Yes as you can guess A MAN has entered my life - and as quickly as he has come into it, unfortunately he has left it - very sad but life does go on.

Now I plan to get back to being me and being creative in everything that I do. I didn't let my entire life get engulfed with all things relating to this man so I will have some pictures of recent trips and adventures with my family I've been on lately. Strange how one hot guy can really turn life upside down and I lost track of me. Here are some pictures of flowers that are finally blooming around my house. I plan to scrap a little each day to get back into the swing of being me again!

Well I haven't blogged since January - that's kinda scary! I used to schedule time once a week to scrap and blog but life has been a bit hectic. I've got a new luv life so that's a priority and scheduling simple things has been put on the back burner. BUT with that said I was able to get a whole day of scrapping in at a crop in the Bronx! I loved these ladies so much fun. Here are some cards I made from a pack from the crop. I have some layouts to post as well just didn't photo them yet.

Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes

2010-12-29T10:40:00.000-05:00

Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes: " Look at these fabulous cupcakes

2010 is almost a memory, and what remains is mostly the bitter-sweet disassembling of Christmas. I've been finding pieces of packaging shrapnel from eager gift opening and the odd half-eaten piece of Christmas candy (a sure sign of overindulgence). For me, these days-after feel a little awkward, but reflecting on the year fills my glass half-full again. So many amazing things happened, and I am hopeful that 2011 will be even better!

I may even have a resolution or two. Do you?

Though I'll miss the ornaments and lights, these cupcakes have plenty of sparkle to welcome in the new year. They are festive little parcels that carry bright, fruity notes of champagne.

The filling is my favorite element of this dessert. It holds the most champagne flavor and keeps the cupcakes incredibly moist. I tweaked a standard vanilla pastry cream recipe, and although the original recipe has been halved, you may still have a bit left over after filling the cakes.

I think I'll thicken the unused portion (with mascarpone?) and use it as a macaron filling.

Wishing you a delicious New Year!

Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes
Yield: about 17 cupcakes [click to print]

Cake:

1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup champagne, prosecco or your choice of sparkling wine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside. in a medium sized bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup champagne and 1/2 cup sour cream (mixture will fizz and bubble a little). Add flour and champagne mixture alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Batter will be thick.

Fill cupcake papers with 1/4 cup level measures of batter. Bake for 17-22 minutes. Set aside.

Champagne Pastry Creme Filling:

1/2 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 cup champagne or prosecco
2 tbsp cornstarch
5 tbsp granulated sugar
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla

In a medium bowl, whisk cornstarch in 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Combine the remaining heavy cream, sugar and 1/2 cup champagne in a saucepan; bring to a boil then remove from heat.

Beat the whole egg and egg yolks into the cornstarch/heavy cream mixture. Pour 1/3 of boiling champagne mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly so the eggs do not cook. Return the remaining champagne/heavy cream mixture to a boil. Pour in the hot egg mixture in a stream, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and beat in the butter and vanilla.

Cut a divot into the top of each cupcake and fill with pastry cream. Trim the cut-out cake pieces flat to make a "lid" and place on top of the filled divot.

Champagne Frosting:

1 cup plus 1 tbsp. champagne or prosecco
2 sticks of butter softened
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Place 1 cup of champagne in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Transfer to a small bowl or condiment cup and allow to cool.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream softened butter and powdered sugar together. Once the frosting is thick and fluffy, pour in the reduced 2 tbsp. champagne plus 1 tbsp. champagne from the bottle and mix well.

Frost the cream-filled cupcakes and decorate with pastel dragees.

Here is another quick digital scrap layouts of when my niece slept over last weekend and we went to the mall shopping and the Ferriswheel ride with Nanny (I pretended not to feel well so she had to go on the ride!!!!).

I love this layout. My cousin's daughter and best friend playing in the mud - what kid does this today? It's usually text, cell phones, emails, etc. - so I couldn't resist the opportunity to capture these pics. I used so much chipboard it's not funny - it's Nana's Kids chipboard collection.
