Come and eat!

Every month I hold a card class in my house. I have an amazing group of ladies who come over and get creative with me. I love it! We have such a fun time. We laugh, make fun projects and eat. I love to eat. I always try to have yummy food and thanks to Pinterest I usually try something new. My good friend Dolores, who is always so kind, usually brings a treat to share. We all look forward to it. This month she brought a delicious trifle. Have you heard of a trifle before? (Not to be confused with the noun, this is a dessert!) It is typically a cold dessert layered with pudding/custard, cake, and whipped cream. The dessert Dolores brought was heavenly. She was kind enough to write it down so I could share it with you! She was inspired by this recipe she saw on pinterest but she changed it up a bit and made it her own.


 Biscotti Cheesecake Trifle Recipe:

--Crumb Crust--
1 1/2 Cups Almond Biscotti Cookies (Crumbled)
1 Stick of butter (melted)
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Coconut

Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl mix the biscotti, sugar and coconut, then add the butter and combine together. Place this mixture on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to prevent burning. When it is nice and toasted remove from oven and set aside. (Reserve two tablespoons for garnish)

--Filling--
1 - 8oz package Cream Cheese (softened)
2 - Boxes Cream Cheese Instant Pudding
1 - 14oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 Cups Milk
6 Bananas (sliced)
1 - 8 oz container frozen whipped topping, thawed

In another bowl beat cream cheese until smooth. Add can of sweetened condensed milk and beat until well combined. Add the pudding and milk and beat until smooth. Now it is time to assemble this yummy treat!

Layer the pudding, bananas and crumb crust in your serving bowl until it is about 3/4 full. Top with whipped topping and sprinkle the reserved crumb crust on top. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!

I hope you will try it! If you do please let me know what you think!

We did not eat the WHOLE time! Here are the cards and project we made this month.


For the card above we used the Oh, Hello clear mount stamp set.  I CASE'd this card from my friend Kathy. She also showed us how to make a fork bow, which I in turn showed my class! Check out her video here if you want to learn how to make a fork bow! Perfection every time!


This cute project was inspired by Sincerely Babette. We used the Petite Pocket Bigz Die for the base. We also used some fun Sale-A-Bration (Stamp Set, Designer Series Paper and Ribbon) items to embellish the project. On the clothespins we decorated them with Designer Series Paper, then applied some Crystal Effects over the DSP to add some dimension. To finish it off we adhered magnets to the back. I think this would make a perfect lil gift for someone! It is great to see how versatile all the Stampin' Up products are!   



This cute Bunny card has been all over Pinterest. I am not sure who created it but I knew we had to make it. On the front of the card you can see his cute little tail (we used the 5/8 flower trim) and on the inside of the card you see his adorable face hanging out. This card was the highlight of class! We used an assortment of Stampin' Up punches to make the bunny.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are enjoying Spring, though we are still waiting for it to arrive in Denver!

  1. Looks like a great recipe and I'm going to take it to our Mother's Day potluck. The recipe calls for Cream Cheese Instant Pudding, but I've never seen that flavor in the store. Would Cheesecake-flavor instant pudding work just as well?

December Challenge: Brr! It's Cold!

Let's start December with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! The last Paper Pumpkin kit was so adorable. I can't wait to see what everyone is making with it. The Challenge this month is Brr! It's cold. I live in Colorado and it is usually really cold and snowy this time of year. Yesterday the temperature was 60 degrees. My son wore shorts to school. It does not feel like December yet! It is weird to see Christmas lights hanging with no snow. I don't think snow is even in the forecast in Denver. But, in the spirit of winter here is my sample this week! p.s. I am not complaining about the warmth, just noting that it is odd. ;) I used one of the cute snowflake cards to make this hot cocoa treat. I cut one flap off the card (the end with half a snowflake). Then I used sticky tape to tape the sides of the remaining snowflake piece, to make a pocket for the hot cocoa packet. I stamped some snowflakes along the bottom and embellished the centers with rhi

New! Wishes and Stars Challenge

Let's welcome August with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . The theme this month is " Wishes & Stars ." It totally fits the July Paper Pumpkin kit. I love the options they provided in this kit and all the products too. You still have time to sign up for your Paper Pumpkin kit and to take advantage of the great deal going on now. Here is my sample this week. I made a star border with the different size star shapes from the kit. I traced the star outlines first, cut around my pencil lines then adhered the stars. (I thought it would look cleaner that way instead of having to cut around the stars and get in the tight areas.) The front says Make a and the inside actually says WISH, but I left my camera at work so I will show you the inside tomorrow. Don't forget to stop by the My Pumpkin Challenge today to for more inspiration. We would love for you to share your creations too! Don't be shy, even if you do not have a blog you can participa

All of May!

I have been slacking here this month. This has been one busy month for me. I mean, all my months are busy but these last few weeks have been a bit different. We are swapping rooms in my house. My son is moving into my craft room and my daughter is moving into my son's old room. So right now all of my craft items (ALL OF THEM) are in my living room, dining room and even in my kitchen! My son is almost fully moved into his new room. We just finished painting my daughter's room and can now get her situated. Once she is moved in, I can move my craft room to her old room. I am excited because my new craft room will be bigger and it will give me a chance to re-organize everything! But, being in limbo right now is no fun.  I did make some Paper Pumpkin projects for the My Pumpkin Challenge though! I apologize I did not have weekly recaps. I should be back to my regular schedule soon! I hope you will share your creations over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! Did you make t
