Yum, Yum! Recipe Swap!


Good morning!  My lovely friend, April, is hosting her first swap on SCS for recipe cards ..... so I thought I'd send her a really unique one to keep for years to come and pass on to her own children!

Introducing ........ Squirrel Stew! 


Hee hee!  Did I make you look?  Or at least smile!? :) 
I hope so - laughter is good for the soul! x0x0

And I am definitely not ever going to make a recipe card with this poor lil sweetie!
As a vegan, and a HUGE animal lover, that would never happen,
but I sure love to laugh and need a good pick me up right now!

If you'd like to see the REAL recipe card, here is it -

Magic Pumpkin Pie!


For this recipe, it's one that my girls' tried a year or so ago at a Harvest church party and it came out super nice - very smooth, creamy and yumm-a-licious!  I paired it with my Autumn-ish looking SU! Paper that I found in my stash, Gina K Pumpkin Spice and SU Close to Cocoa cardstock, a cute lil House Mouse pumpkin image and the envelope has a hidden surprise inside for the swappers that should receive this ;)  And .. surprise!  I used ric-rac! :)~
The tiny little bling is from the new i-rock tool that has sat in my scraproom - my sweet friend Michelle recently blogged about using hers and it inspired me to finally take mine out!  (thanks, love!)  I was majorly strapped for time and had to use it quickly but I can see lots of fun in the future with it!

Thanks for stopping by - sooooo much still to be done here and I'm running out of time, so I'll wish you all a wonderful day and many blessings!

  5. Oh how YUMMY! Your card, and your recipe! I'm so trying this out, and maybe even today!! I love the ric-rak trim you used, and that image couldn't be more perfect for this recipe page. I so want one of those I Rock's. I haven't taken the plunge yet, but I've been thinking about it since I saw Emma's video using hers. GOTTA have one!! Have a beautiful day, Kelly and thanks for sharing this yummy recipe page!

Absolutely adorable recipe card...the image is PERFECT for it. Suddenly I'm really craving pumpkin pie...hmmm, I may just have to try your yummy recipe! :) Have a great day!

  14. AAAAAAAAHHHH! That is too funny (and gross as I look out at the sweet little squirrel running through my yard) :D

    I am not vegan, but use alot of vegan recipes that I alter for my kiddos. We LOVE Veganaise instead of Mayo. Tofutti Sour Cream and Cream Cheese makes for some yummo dishes we could not have any other way.

    Hugs to you ... I LOVE your card. I want to smell one of those baking in my oven. I am not a huge fan of P. Pie, but I love the smells!!! I like apple and blueberry pie.. any kind of cobbler... YUMMM!!! Bring on the fat.. I mean... Fall!!! :D

    HUGS!
