When I started going through Susie's gallery I thought no way am I going to try and CASE this lady. And then I saw a Halloween card that spoke to me. My daughter's birthday is November 1st and she has always had a Halloween themed party. So I pulled out the papers that I wanted to use and let her pick which of my Halloween sets to use. Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/684832?cat=500&ppuser=18434">card</a> I chose to CASE.

I have to say I love these e-mails, but today was a special one. Nicole Anderson over at <a href="http://andersonartsonline.blogspot.com/">Anderson Arts</a> had left me a comment saying congratulations for winning Allison's AFSS25 challenge. SHOCK!!!!! I was on the phone with hubby and just gushed. I've never won any of the blog candy's or challenges that I have done. I have wanted to do more challenges and this was just the incentive that I needed.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Today I combined Allison's <a href="http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/2008/07/afss26-white-out.html">AFSS26</a> using white ink and SplitCoastStampers <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=363721">TLC177</a> Got Grid? challenges. When I went downstairs to my craft room I found the card that I did for Allison's last challenge lying in the middle of my desk so I used it for my inspiration. I used Regal Rose, Rose Red, and Pretty in Pink cardstock as well as the DP from the Prints Sampler again. I of course used my white craft ink as well as Regal Rose and Rose Red inks. I used my Scor-Pal to make my grid and then I ran the white ink pad over the grid to add some color and texture. I then stamped one of the flower stamps from my favorite set, Paint Prints, three times in white and three times in Regal Rose. I then stamped the sentiment and flower centers in Rose Red. I love how it turned out.</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGhj_p2KY-6_prypf9UVfeC3177zFWZpgzIwBiffQLsBXLqoz15lSgAM-faisANw65CeAJLKEjacQE38Jwg2v0LQub4AGIdXDPJsgrTY8vmS2-9tK6C882LIxaM-fYf7wmP4mJKlSs2w/s1600-h/IMG_4917.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222902813604510018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGhj_p2KY-6_prypf9UVfeC3177zFWZpgzIwBiffQLsBXLqoz15lSgAM-faisANw65CeAJLKEjacQE38Jwg2v0LQub4AGIdXDPJsgrTY8vmS2-9tK6C882LIxaM-fYf7wmP4mJKlSs2w/s400/IMG_4917.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08750924372027998277noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464624531618913155.post-7552612187972838262008-07-08T21:00:00.006-04:002008-07-08T21:30:22.373-04:00AFSS25 Dare to be Fabulous<div>One of the blogs that I visit regularly is <a href="http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/">Stampin' When I Can.</a> Allison started Suggestive Sunday's a while ago but this is the first one that I have participated in. This week's challenge is <a href="http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/2008/07/afss25-words-words-words.html">Words, Words, Words...</a> The challenge this week is for the sentiment to be the only stamped image on the page. The card I created is not the one that I had first envisioned. I stated off with Ginger Blossoms DP and Close to Cocoa cardstock. I went looking for another DP and found one that I really liked in the Prints Sampler, but it didn't look right with the Ginger Blossom paper that I had. Then I had my aha moment. Last month at the monthly crop I go to we had a field trip to the LSS and I found <a href="http://store.scrapbook.com/db-1798.html">crushed velvet flock by doodlebug </a>design inc. The single butterfly on the 6 x 6 page just screamed flock me please. So I did. I also flocked the sentiment Dare to be Fabulous and I think the flocking does just that. The pictures do not do this card justice but the flocking is just not showing up real well. The flocking is pink almost like Regal Rose. I love the way it feels and I so wish you all could see it the way I do.<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4cnLDuhQ4fShj5UNOHfy3XyN1VtoVbHe30N_sXLgsuRTHRePU1L_fnPb1y3rr3CDg3PPsU9NEJxhfzrMLaW-FO4Q3UHDm72ZIi6pD8Yw2lw0PhuKrdr-SrWsJWVGd5ipFETf2Nw9ulho/s1600-h/DSC00342.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220815452033683970" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4cnLDuhQ4fShj5UNOHfy3XyN1VtoVbHe30N_sXLgsuRTHRePU1L_fnPb1y3rr3CDg3PPsU9NEJxhfzrMLaW-FO4Q3UHDm72ZIi6pD8Yw2lw0PhuKrdr-SrWsJWVGd5ipFETf2Nw9ulho/s200/DSC00342.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><p>Here is a close up of the sentiment (sorry it's blurry).

I think he drives most of the time because he is a cop and has had specialized driver training. He also gets very frustrated with other drivers and with me when I am driving.

Would you like to replace it or keep it?</div><br /><div></div><div>We recently moved and have not hung up anything yet. I did take a picture of a tryptic that we have had for almost seven years and this will be the third house whose walls it will grace. In our house in Alexanderia the set of 3 paintings was in the living, in Blue Ridge they were in the dining room, and here they will be above our bed in the master bedroom. The really amazing thing about the paintings is that my mom got them at a garage sale for $25. We planned out our living around the painting, we planned out our dining room around it, and it fits in with the 9 photos that decorate our bedroom that I took while I was in China. These are definately something that we will be keeping.</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxnmqbcdVO-ExJdF0Webf4t2e01YIruf9G5t_vjGlVycMhVaEoUJWH2ewQXEKBGhJ_ttBn5YI_ZV1QiBaqiexTQELDnGPnoipsxd-Q6_rqOnloSdeWGfmFMUJwcmQ5RZIkUIZcLmPayg/s1600-h/IMG_3598.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186315123911444402" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxnmqbcdVO-ExJdF0Webf4t2e01YIruf9G5t_vjGlVycMhVaEoUJWH2ewQXEKBGhJ_ttBn5YI_ZV1QiBaqiexTQELDnGPnoipsxd-Q6_rqOnloSdeWGfmFMUJwcmQ5RZIkUIZcLmPayg/s200/IMG_3598.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08750924372027998277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464624531618913155.post-19003433312952161202008-04-06T21:38:00.003-04:002008-04-06T21:44:04.009-04:00Day 23 Reflection<div>Barb posted:<br /><br />Take a photo of a reflection in the mirror.

But I didn't like how any of the pictures turned out. The reflection picture I like the most is the one of Regan at the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. One of the exhibits is a mirror for you to see if you can roll your tongue.

For the guys: Take a photo of what your morning routine is or the things you use like a razor, shaving cream, etc. Now, write about how long you take each morning to get ready. What is your morning routine?<br /><br /><br />My morning is simple. I wake up to my husband's alarm and turn on Channel 7 morning news. I get up and take a shower and brush my teeth. Then while Baker is showering I pack my lunch and Regan's snack for school. After Baker is finished in the bathroom I blow dry my hair, get dressed, and put my make-up on. Then I help Baker get the kids ready for school. The last thing I do is take Regan to the bus stop and Alek to preschool. Then it is off to school for me too.<br /><br /><br />Here is a picture of my make-up. I just went and got it updated. Until a week ago I did not wear eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, or lip gloss. I use only Clinque make-up.

How often do you eat this each week? How is it made? Add the recipe here if you’d like.<br /><br /><br />A couple of year's ago I found a recipe called Spicy Ranch Chicken Fajitas in my Cooking Light magazine. I love to try new foods, as does my husband, so we gave it a try. All I can say is that every week since I have asked Baker what would he like to see on the menu this week and his answer is always Spicy Ranch Chicken Fajitas. I usually give in and make it about once a month, and that also happens to be today. Here are some photos and the recipe.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUulOdxQNHsvL6xvj5PXsMxYo-LMjNqAG2czhYIOLZvh6ook-hX6eOU7BKsJFmdLG6UXykMGjeMQJAs67eNchN3l1200DnFBqFIn1pOqynaKhS3UoYgIK7E2p28hXjTJ9uMLOVkwcGid8/s1600-h/IMG_0268.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185956287983798050" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUulOdxQNHsvL6xvj5PXsMxYo-LMjNqAG2czhYIOLZvh6ook-hX6eOU7BKsJFmdLG6UXykMGjeMQJAs67eNchN3l1200DnFBqFIn1pOqynaKhS3UoYgIK7E2p28hXjTJ9uMLOVkwcGid8/s200/IMG_0268.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfx2-yVNLiAueaMOKnvWkb37w5YPXXSlW50E1yHmoQZ03EXRc21prKgR9WREnWBN1l1uxDY2_Bj80AJkYU5CyZl6Hti8FmIIAi2cxDnVK7HC-SwP5XAnG9TAPnZA5PML9bs_qn5eAQAcw/s1600-h/IMG_0269.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185956442602620722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfx2-yVNLiAueaMOKnvWkb37w5YPXXSlW50E1yHmoQZ03EXRc21prKgR9WREnWBN1l1uxDY2_Bj80AJkYU5CyZl6Hti8FmIIAi2cxDnVK7HC-SwP5XAnG9TAPnZA5PML9bs_qn5eAQAcw/s200/IMG_0269.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbECVUS0PLYxA8Nm_Icl6tlD2GpmWYEMZ1lMYImA7i7_dS9xxmjdW91ZcWg8kRMZ1cwirhqesx2atyT2X_MtczCVjnmIpKqf_lKs6mEopWwPhskhu-SYMqHEFf3EyxHqtIWoP-bfoxJo/s1600-h/IMG_0270.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185956605811377986" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbECVUS0PLYxA8Nm_Icl6tlD2GpmWYEMZ1lMYImA7i7_dS9xxmjdW91ZcWg8kRMZ1cwirhqesx2atyT2X_MtczCVjnmIpKqf_lKs6mEopWwPhskhu-SYMqHEFf3EyxHqtIWoP-bfoxJo/s200/IMG_0270.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-fCf8vT6aG_csgXOrwaSO0JTgyQAFvt4WjVGbv776rp4F0evpkL08N2gs9ochke9fffneRSqr9tjyxf7OtuK-TKi728rc_PZbs4SSPwaqLF8CA42BoZG3pfIil7biie5jnBnZVLe99g8/s1600-h/IMG_0273.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185956794789939026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-fCf8vT6aG_csgXOrwaSO0JTgyQAFvt4WjVGbv776rp4F0evpkL08N2gs9ochke9fffneRSqr9tjyxf7OtuK-TKi728rc_PZbs4SSPwaqLF8CA42BoZG3pfIil7biie5jnBnZVLe99g8/s200/IMG_0273.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And now for the recipe:<br /><br /><br />Spicy Ranch Chicken Wraps<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />2 teaspoons chili powder<br />2 teaspoons vegetable oil<br />1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1 1/4 pounds skinned, boned chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips<br />1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk<br />1/4 cup light mayonnaise<br />2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley<br />2 tablespoons fresh lime juice<br />2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced<br />2 garlic cloves, crushed<br />4 (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas<br />3 cups chopped romaine lettuce<br />1 1/3 cups chopped seeded tomato<br /><br />I add cheese to the top of mine instead of lettuce and tomato<br /><br />Directions:<br />1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken; seal and shake to coat. Remove chicken from bag. Combine the buttermilk and next 5 ingredients (buttermilk through garlic) in a small bowl, and stir well with a whisk.<br />2. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, and sauté 2 minutes or until chicken is done. Add the buttermilk mixture; cover and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat.<br />3. Warm the tortillas according to the package directions. Spoon about 3/4 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla, and top each serving with 3/4 cup chopped lettuce and 1/3 cup chopped tomatoes. Roll up wrap.

Take a photo of a door or something you like on a door. What is it about this door or hanging item you chose? Was it about the color, the arrangement? Do you like the door because it has a lot of glass in it or no glass, etc? Also, today is Saint Patrick’s Day, I’m sure you can find something on someone’s door.</div><div> </div><div>I teach at a middle school and one of my fellow teachers always decorates her door every month.

If you could whisper something in someone’s ear, what would it be? Take a photo of someone whispering or set it up yourself. If you don’t want to take this type of photo, then take a photo of who’d you’d be whispering to. Write about what you’d say, who’d you’d say it to or why you maybe whispering?<br /><br />I love it when my kids tell me they have a secret and want to whisper it in my ear. 9 out of 10 times they tell me that they love me. The other time they might actually have a secret to share. And here they are.</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgj3PJ3aygLggSiJXbNPEkAI7uWqgGnN-pTHd7U0pgNNEYeeE1w8d5ToqjEKsftZJmFVMfdbVydmd2c0o7aaq-yrABHfGTZLeA989TuDk17YXfZY0a3IOK6N09F5e7Kw79Ysf2hAPVsBE/s1600-h/IMG_3555.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185952882074732258" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgj3PJ3aygLggSiJXbNPEkAI7uWqgGnN-pTHd7U0pgNNEYeeE1w8d5ToqjEKsftZJmFVMfdbVydmd2c0o7aaq-yrABHfGTZLeA989TuDk17YXfZY0a3IOK6N09F5e7Kw79Ysf2hAPVsBE/s200/IMG_3555.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08750924372027998277noreply@blogger.com0
