Book Review: A Breath of Snow and Ash


This is another book in the wonderful Outlander Series from Diana Gabaldon. I sure you have figured out by now that I just love these book, might go so far as saying that I am obsessed? This one picks up Claire and Jamie's Story along with Roger and Bree. This book was jam packed full of good stuff-lots a little mysteries going on through out as well as filling in the gaps of some of the story lines from the past books. The end of this book left me a little teary eyed as Roger, Bree, Jem and Mandy head back to their own time, but I am looking forward to finding out what is in store for them.
Don't these buns look yummy? I made these this weekend while I worked on some up coming projects for May (that card is using the Stamp of the Month for May). These buns received 2 thumbs up around here. Find all the info and recipe here. Claire's Nettle Kissed Buns

Project Life 2012: Week 10 &11

First up I decorated the tab for March using a sentiment stamp for Ali Edwards and a mini calendar from CTMH. Week 10 included my birthday, so I had lots of extra things I wanted to add to the book. I used one of the large pockets to hold all of my birthday cards.
Next up there were several pictures from different "birthday events" so I chose to use a 6 x12 page protector. All I did to create the pages for these was create a new document in photo shop and then I just drop in the pictures and text.

Here is the rest of the pictures from Week 10 that didn't really relate to my birthday.

Week 11 is pretty simple. I wanted to try to keep it thin since I was thick from my birthday week stuff.
I used a pliers to flatten out a bottle cap that I wanted to include and then stuck it down with a layer of foam tape.
Lastly since I had all the small pockets this week I choose to cut a picture in half to put into 2 pockets. It wan the only picture that really would work in the vertical position so this worked well.

Envelope Treat Pockets

I spend way too much time on Pinterest.....these were inspired by this project. I used the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut the envelope (yeap, it has envelopes) and the 3d flowers. I cut the envelopes at 2 3/4" and the cut down the top flap. You will need to use very strong adhesive to assemble the pocket because the chocolates are thick.
I found the felt bunnies in the craft section at Michael's and couldn't leave the cuties at the store. There was also some chicks in the package that are so cute, I will make something with them soon!

How would you like to cut all this yourself? Get your cricut cartridge for FREE this month when you sign up to be a CTMH Consultant. Find all the details here.
