Summertime Floral Card & Recipe

  Hello Crafter's, thanks for stopping by. I have a card and a recipe to share with you all today. 

For my card I have made a square birthday card for my sister.

 I have been going through some happy mail that I have neglected to use for several years. I found this little stamp that I have never used. I love the summertime scene with the watering can full of geraniums and those cute little birds.

I colored the image with several different brands of alcohol markers. For this image I used Altenew, Master'sTouch, Arrtx and Sectrum Noir. I have made color charts on cardstock of all the colors. So, it's easy for me to choose colors more quickly.

My sister Tammy (the birthday girl) got me a set of foam sentiment stamps at least 10 years ago. So, I used one of the happy birthday stamps for her card. When stamping on the card I accidently got some ink below the sentiment. Don't you hate when that happens.

 So, I was trying to think of something that I could put there to cover it and all of a sudden, a little jar fell from one of the shelfs above me with little clear gems. I'm not sure what made it fall, that had never happened before, but I thought it might work to hide it. So, I added three of them to the card. 

I think this card turned out ok and I'm sure my sister will enjoy receiving it.

My granddaughter Scarlett comes to visit once a week, so I usually make some kind of dessert. A few weeks ago, I made a blueberry dessert with a lemon crumble topping. Sharing with you all.

Blueberry w/ Cream Cheese & Lemon Crumble

*Ingredients needed*

1 box of lemon cake mix

1 can of blueberry pie filling

8 oz cream cheese (softened and cubed)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4th cup lemon juice(optional) for extra tang

Preheat oven to 350

Spray non-stick cooking spray or butter in 9x13 baking dish

Spread pie filling evenly across the bottom of dish

In a bowl mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over pie filling and spread

In bowl add lemon cake mix and 1/2 cup melted butter, mix until it's crumbly, sprinkle evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

As you can see it started to burn a little. So, just check on it when close to being done.

 I do think the cream cheese mixture kind of gets lost in between the layers so I may try doubling the cream cheese mixture next time. 

If I double the cream cheese mixture I will add another can of pie filling. 

 

 Again, thanks' for stopping by and would love for you to leave a comment. Happy Day to you all!
