Ms. On The Go is the name of the stamp set I used on these cards. I LOVE this set! This is what I do when I have a week before I move and a ton of things to do. I suddenly feel inspired to make cards with the new stamp set I got!! Oh and look at blogs and watch TV, I work better at the last minute and under pressure OKAY!! Anyway, the lady with the mixing bowl....perfect for recipe cards! And I absolutely love that the lady pushing the stroller is wearing a dress and heels, because you know that's what I would do :) I had to add some little rhinestone "earrings" to her ears because it was only fitting. I used the paper piecing technique for their clothes and the stroller. I also used the waterbrush and ink for coloring in the rest of them. A couple of you ladies out there will be getting these cards sent to you. Oh yeah and by the way for the month of February when you spend $25 on Close To My Heart stamp sets you get a free stamp set worth $13.95. It's adorable and has a cupcake on it (big highlight for me). Click Here to see a picture of it. Also if you want the rest of the recipe for the Nanaimo Bars on the recipe card here you go...they are AWESOME (and only require a little butter)!!
Heat butter, sugar, and cocoa in a double boiler (or just melt it carefully on the stove) Stir until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Remove from heat. Add graham cracker crumbs and coconut. Spread in buttered 8x12 inch pan and refrigerate.
Mix topping ingredients. Spread over previous layer and refrigerate again.
Melt chocolate squares and butter together to make glaze. Spread over topping layer. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. If I have a lapse in posts, it means that I am actually packing and getting things accomplished, or....I am making more cards :)
