Let's Talk Turkey

The new Paper Cutz challenge this week is Let's Talk Turkey.  Make your card or project this week with a turkey.


I confess looking at this image from Digital Delights makes me feel a little cheeky and so I printed his sign "Save a Turkey".  Well, we all know organizations that ask us to help save the xxx - whatever.  I am sympathetic to many of them but today I am making a little fun.






Card Recipe:
Stamps: Digital Delights Turkey, Tickets Sentiments
Paper: Bo Bunny Garden Girl Collection, Bazzill Basics

Happy Thanksgiving from the Original Cooking Team

This week at Paper Cutz our challenge is "Gobble, Gobble"!  We want to see your card, layout or craft project that incorporates a recipe of your favorite Thanksgiving dish.

My card this week uses two of the newer characters from Digital Delights Thanksgiving Pilgrims and Indians. I also followed the Mojo Monday sketch for this week.


Card Recipe:
Stamps: Digital Delights Thanksgiving Indians set and Thanksgiving Pilgrims Set
Paper: My Minds Eye Sunshine Collection, Very Vanilla
Markers/Ink: Distress Tea Dye, Copics - E01, E02, E11, E15, E17, E33, E35, C00, C01, C03, C05, C08, B06, R20, Y08
Embellishments: Prima Pearls, Wild Orchard flower and Corner piece, Tim Holtz leaf die, Spellbinders Label Six, Label Four, Scalloped Circle, Grand Scalloped Square


My favorite Thanksgiving recipe is for bread stuffing to go into the turkey.  This is my step dad's recipe and I think it came from his Irish mother.

Ken's Stuffing

  • Use 3 full loaves of three different kinds of bread (white, wheat and rye are nice)
  • Cut the bread into cubes and moisten with about 2 cups of water or chicken broth sprinkled over the cubes (in a very large bowl).
  • Add these dry ingredients to the bowl and mix
    • 4-6 crisp pieces of bacon crumbled
    • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
    • 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoons of nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon sage
  • In a large skillet (my dad used an iron skillet with bacon grease)
    • Add a tablespoon or two of your favorite cooking oil
    • Saute a large chopped onion
    • Add 1 cup of chopped celery
  • Now add the bread mixture to the skillet
  • In a small bowl combine 2 eggs and 2 cups of milk.
  • Pour the milk/egg mixture over the bread in the skillet and saute (keep folding over the layers) until the egg looks cooked - about 10 minutes.
  • Stuff both ends of the Turkey with the stuffing and cook as normal
  • Be sure to remove the stuffing from the bird as soon as it comes out of the oven.

A Cheerful Heart is Good Medicine

The new Paper Cutz challenge this week is In The Pink.  Make your card or project this week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I think almost every family has been touched by cancer in one way or another.  In my family, my husband's mother had breast cancer back in the 1960's, had surgery and lived to the age of 92!  Unfortunately, his sister was not as fortunate.  She battled breast cancer through ten years and several surgeries.  Just two Septembers ago she lost that battle. Now all the women on his side of the family have to consider whether they are next.


So, my card is in honor of my sweet, sweet sister-in-law, Barb.  Barb fought her battle with grace and beauty and was an example to her whole family.  She was a Christian so we know she is with the Lord, but we all still miss her terribly.

I followed the Mojo Monday sketch for this card.  This brand new Digital Delights image works well with the Our Daily Bread Designs Proverbs stamp.



Card Recipe:
Stamps: Pink Ribbon Boo Boo Bear, ODBD Get Well set
Paper: My Minds Eye Blush, Very Vanilla
Markers: Distress Worn Lipstick, Copics - R81, R83, R85, E15, E17, E18
Embellishments: Corner metal from Wild Orchard, Really Reasonable Ribbon, SU Pearls, Spellbinders Label One and Label Six

Keeper of the Crows

The new Paper Cutz challenge this week is Keeper of the Crows.  Make your card or project this week with a scarecrow and you must use Orange, Yellow, Brown, Black, Blue and White.


My card is modeled after the sketch from Mojo Monday and features Haystacks the Scarecrow and the pumpkin from Fall Accessories from Digital Delights.




I tried a new technique for me and that is to color the inside of the Sizzix embossing folder with a little Distress Tea Dye ink and then press through the Cuttlebug.  I really like how it turned out - very rustic and it fits the card theme.



There is a hidden surprise - a tag with the sentiment from the Postage Stamps Sentiments pack.




Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Haystacks the Scarecrow and the pumpkin from Fall Accessories, Postage Stamps Sentiments pack all from Digital Delights
Paper: BoBunny Timepiece Home, Glitz Design Laced With Grace Plaid, Very Vanilla, craft brown and black
Markers: Copics - B21, B23, YR02, YR04, E23, E25, Y000, Y17, YG93, Distress Tea Dye and Vintage Photo
Embellishments: Leaf ribbon, Really Reasonable Ribbon Fall pack, craft tag from Michael's, Prima Pearls, Spellbinders Scalloped Circles

Have a great day!
