This sweet potato cake is similar to a carrot cake, with an irresistibly moist texture and a subtle richness. This ultra-soft cake is topped with cinnamon whipped cream (my preferred icing, tbh), and a smoky paprika caramel, which if you are afraid of the extra layer of flavor, you can always skip the smoky spice!
A combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries makes this classic pie recipe taste like summer. The homemade crust is flaky and crisp. If you want more of an old-fashioned look, keep the crust pattern a classic lattice. But, to make it a bit more fancy twist the strips of dough as Melissa suggests. We used frozen berries, but if fresh berries are in season they'd make the pie even better. A slice with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream will be delicious at summer events.
Sourdough lemon shortbread cookies are delightful butter cookie that is perfectly balanced by zesty lemon and a bright lemon glaze.
Better Than Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls: light fluffy layers of sweet roll, packed with cinnamon filling, then slathered with creamy glaze.
All of the very best Thermomix fudge recipes.... from salted caramel fudge to cookies and cream fudge, milo and Tim Tam fudge to chocolate Baileys fudge and more!
For some reason this is known in the Antipodes (and I got this recipe from a Kiwi) as Russian Fudge and, although I like this name better, I feel that it perhaps leads the rest of us to expect something altogether more exotic, when this is the plain, comforting, yet temple-achingly sweet, confection of my childhood. I confess that even listing the ingredients below makes me hyperventilate slightly. I am no stranger to excess, but even I baulk somewhat at the amount of sugar and so on needed. But it does make an awful lot of fudge: as you can see, my portion control is rather erratic, but I reckon you can get 77 pieces out of it. I also have to preface this recipe with a warning: fudge is not exactly difficult to make, but it is dangerous. Unless you proceed with caution you will burn your pan and yourself. Never leave the pot, and make sure there are no children nearby. Mobile telephones are banned for the duration, too. You need to use your own instinct as to how long to cook the fudge. The recipe I was given indicated it took 20 minutes; my fudge was ready after 12. Just make sure you have a bowl of cold water nearby. Drop small amounts of the molten fudge into the water and if it sets (known as soft ball stage) it's ready. Or you can use a sugar thermometer, which will indicate 'soft-ball stage'. The final whisking is what turns what is a pan of toffee (though you could leave it like this if you want smooth fudge) into grainy texture traditional fudge — or what the Scots call Tablet — demands. I highly recommend adding some sea salt flakes — I imagine two teaspoons should do it — but since I made this for my daughter (and children are nothing if not traditionalists) I didn't dare stray from convention. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
I bet this smells better than a raw meat dress.
Homemade sourdough sticky buns, also known as caramel rolls, that are soft, gooey, and absolutely incredible. Using active sourdough starter, these sticky buns go through an overnight bulk fermentation to make things easy.
These flavorful buns are filled with a tasty, milky filling and topped with a buttery sweet topping.
I hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas season so far. As we inch nearer to the big day, Jill and I have admittedly slowed down with our content creation and have been enjoying just spending time homemaking, crafting, and baking instead. With each year, as our blog and following grows, I fe

Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card share features THIS new card kit from Simon Says Stamp… I started by creating the background. I applied a rainbow of inks through the kit’s stencil on a white A2 panel. Next, I stamped the images from the stamp set, colored them with Copics, and cut them out. I adhered the images along the bottom of the panel and stamped a sentiment from the kit. I also added some crystal...Continue reading

I’ve been playing with stripes – my favourite pattern out of the How Sweet it is Designer Series Paper (DSP) – to make up some Birthday cards. I didn’t buy any of the rest of the fabulous co-ordinating suite but I just loved the bright colours in the DSP and finally managed to chop it up instead of just stroking it!! I tried two different designs and would love to… Read More »
I'm so excited to finally be back playing along with the Colour Creations blog hop with my Art With Heart Team girls. This week we are playing with Pineapple Punch. I have come to really love this bright clean yellow over since it was released as an InColour in June 2018. I was so excited about using this colour, that I actually ended up making two cards. This first card uses the Beauty Abounds stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Occasions Catalogue. I love the Bokeh stamps included in this set. I forgot to photograph the inside of the...
We are so excite to share this month's Guest Designer with you... meet the uber talented, Jamie Pate! We are always amazed by her creations and wanted to see what magic she could create with our Life Crafted kits. Let's just say you are in for a real treat! -------------------------------------- GET TO KNOW JAMIE Hey creative friends…I’m Jamie Pate (pronounced just like ate)…my family and I currently reside in the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado. I’ve been married 30 years and we have 5 children ranging from 23 to 8! And I confess: I am a paper nerd. I love to craft with all the papery things plus all the embellishments and mediums that goes right along with that. It’s addictive as well as therapeutic along with legacy making. In a phrase, being a creative is a beautiful thing. I can’t stop! My time in this lovely hobby and industry has allowed me to work with Heidi Swapp and Paige Evans plus Bella Blvd, Pink Paislee and Studio Calico and many other wonderful companies. I am just so very blessed and humble to be here and share some of what I love with you. Thank you so very much for having me. Q & A WITH JAMIE When did you start scrapbooking? Scrapbooking officially started for me when my oldest was 2. I was gifted a Creative Memories pre-made page all prepped with mats for photo placement. I added photos and journaling, and the rest is history. My oldest is 24 this year. I have been scrapping for a very long time now. There are lots of stories in my album library to show for this effort. These mini albums and traditional albums and everything in between bring me so much joy. I am forever grateful for this creative outlet. What is something most people would not know about you? Recently I heard that a former president read a book a week. I was amazed. To be one of the most powerful and influential people in the world, and still take time for self education at that rate. It spurred me to challenge myself this year to read a book a week as well. I just started about a month ago. I am loving this new endeavor already. And highly recommend. What are the 3 scrapbooking products you can’t live without? Well. For one…I could not live without my hot glue gun. I know. It’s probably not scrapbook correct to use a hot glue in my photo memory keeping. But I do. (wince). Secondly…my Pilot G-2 .38 pen. I buy them by the case full. I have to have a good pen around. And this one is my ultimate favorite. I like how it writes on smooth or textured cardstock. And even in my art journals full of painted pages. And everyone I have suggested this pen to has found it a winner as well. Thirdly an item I can’t live without is my Silhouette Spatula Tool. Traditionally it’s purpose is to help lift cuts from a cutting mat. Which is how I use it too. But that tool is much more than that for me. It distresses paper edges beautifully. I use it to place alpha stickers on my projects. And my most favorite use of it is for clear stickers as I don’t want to get finger prints on them. I use this tool so much I have two of them. What do you love about the June Life Crafted kit? It may be easier to answer what I don’t like about it…which actually that answer would be nothing. I loved the fresh pinks and florals found in the pattern paper. Mixed in with some of the digital papers was pure magic for me. And those Tiny Alphas…can I get those by the case too? The floral die cuts from the Ephemera are always a fan favorite and just needed to be their own item. And have I mentioned the puffy stickers yet? I think I was just so lucky to be guest to this month’s kit. It was all very happy to craft with and there may be a few hoarding issues going on as well. Finish this sentence “If you could see my scrapbooking space now . . . “ You would probably say wow. I know that sounds pretentious. But it’s the very first room you walk in when you come in my home. While not renovated as I have planned…yet, it’s a big wide open and airy and well lit space. I commandeered our front room and formal dining room for my ‘studio’ several years ago. And while it is accessible to all the people whenever they think they need me, I am super happy it is the space it is. Oh…and this causes me to have to clean up daily. So I am always working on decluttering the extra things and keeping it as streamlined as I can for just what I need. Not always easy. But it works for me. And yes, you are welcome to come craft with me anytime. And here is a peek at Jamie's beautiful creative space: ---------------------------------------- For my blog project I chose to use the LifeCrafted Album as the base of a sort of photo essay album. It’s a work in progress. And I just love it. That Goldenrod album is GORGEOUS> And perfect play against this kit. The album starts off with a clear acrylic page. On it I adhered fussy cut flowers from one of the pattern papers. An ephemera label plus the Tiny Alphas are layered over the collection of flowers. Digital stamps rounded out the layering as well as the tabbed feature. Under the clear page can be found those oh so fabulous Foam Words. In addition layers of notched papers were used from the digital kit. This layering of paper and words plus ephemera is repeated throughout the album. It’s my go-to technique for embellishing. I adore the layers and the patterns and colors up against each other. The possibilities are endless and a wonderful invitation to play. Don’t you love a good journal card? I went heavy with the digital kit in this album. Bringing in bits of pattern paper plus puffy stickers causes this album to feel connected and cohesive. The theme of this book is photos of the everyday that may seem ordinary, but they add up to life for me. After the intro pages, there are tabbed sections. The first section focuses a bit on my home. I included journaling that support my current feels on the subject of home. I loved these Page Protector 3 pockets. That little space at the bottom is perfect for journaling… or even a little photo…I enjoyed adding different sizes of photos to this photo essay. For this album I stayed with 4x6, 3x4 plus the 4x2-inch sized photos. I found it easy to simply print a bunch of photos up all at once and just play. The page format now repeats itself in this Life Crafted Album as it now moves to the subject of Creativity. The tabbed pages were created by printing the digital paper onto vellum. That sheer factor brings to these pages so much softness. Plus a little peek into the pages behind the vellum. I have plans for adding pages that celebrate my obsession love with coffee. Because all those fun coffee ephemera that are dying to be used on these pages. But for now, I hope this album has inspired you. I hope you find this June kit as fabulous as I did. And I hope you also find ways to celebrate the ordinary yet beautiful aspects of your everyday life. WOW!! just wow!! we are so honored to have Jamie create such a beautiful project with our June Kits and Life Crafted album. Make sure you follow Jamie (if you aren't already) so she can keep you inspiring you with her beautiful work.
Happy Friday! Another card for the week, this time playing along with Avery Elle's AEI♥U Challenge and it's a RAINBOW challenge!! I had a few ideas in my head for this one, but this one came together first! Using the Bonjour set, I stamped and colored the macarons in the classic rainbow colors- ROY G BIV! Who could resist a stack of macarons like that?? Certainly not me! Thanks for stopping by- have a FABULOUS weekend!

Hi! I have the cutest pie projects to share with you today! I created these cards a month ago for Spellbinders, but the dies sold out so fast I decided to wait until the dies came back in stock to share them with you. The Pie Perfection Collection by Tina Smith are so cute and creative and I am not surprised they were so popular. Let's start with my Key Lime Pie. First I stenciled the background with the Picnic Checkerboard Stencil. All my products are linked below. I love checks and can see me using this stencil in a number of different way. The pie is put together with the dies in the Perfect Pies Etched Dies. I added the limes with the dies in the coordinating Delicious Decorations Etched Dies. This die set is fulled with toppings for your pies. There is a sentiment set in the collection, The Perfect Pie Sentiments & Fillings Clear Stamp Set, along with the Dish it Up Etched Dies that cut the cute utensils. These pies are created with the Sky View Pies Etched Dies. On this card I used the stencil to create on place mat and added the knife and fork from the Dish it Up Etched Dies. I sprinkled glitter on my strawberry pie to look like sugar and added another sentiment from the stamp set. Here is my third example. Here I used the stencil to create a tablecloth. You can see how the dies in the Delicious Decorations Etched Dies allows you create a number of different kinds of pies along with some decorations for the holiday. Here are the links to all the products. I am not much of a baker and I had a lot fun making these pies. Share:facebook - twitter - pinterest The Perfect Pies!

The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the pink.... I just may be creating a few more cards for this as pink is my favorite color! This card took me way too long LOL. I am so not very good at layered stamps and actually almost threw in the towel, but I persevered and I am embarrassed to say, finally used my(can't even remember the name) - Misti? Stamp Positioner? I have had it for a long time but for some reason just never used it - until today and now I can't believer I hadn't tried it before LOL The stamps and die are from the Greetery.
