Imagine More Cards... Card

Hey ya'll and glad to "see" ya. I've been LOVING the Imagine More Cards Cricut Cartridge!! There is so much on there and looking at the back of the cart.... does NO JUSTICE!!!  So, I decided to play around and make a few cards using this cart. Hope you like it as well as I do.

This card took 20 minutes.. MAYBE!!! The longest part was picking the paper and adjusting the sizes on my Imagine. The rest.. EASY PEASY!!!

The pattern paper is printed from the Imagine!!! Isn't it too cute!!!! I LOVE being able to print paper that matches and as much as I want. How AWESOME!!! Do you have an Imagine? What do you think about yours? What do you do most.. cut or print paper?  I seem to print more paper than cut. :) 

On a different note.. tomorrow is Thankful Thursday and I am TOTALLY excited to show you the project my daughter and I did!! So, be sure to stop on by.

Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for more IMAGINE MORE CARDS.. cards!!!

Zutter Distress It All

Hey ya'll!! I got a new tool and have to share!!!

I got the Zutter Distress It All!!! YES!!! Really...

Ok.. so, I do like it. It is noisy and takes a lil getting use to, but VERY effective!! You can do a small stack of paper at the same time!! No more cramped hand!!  I distressed a few sheets of watercolor paper for my inspiration journal and took a pic comparing the edges of the distressed papers and non distressed. LOVE IT!!!!  Do you have one? What do you think??

Isn't this a cute lil tin??

Not the best pic, but you can see the top pages are distressed and the bottom isn't!! I did those on the top at the same time!!!  So.. what do YOU think???

I just wanted to share this. :)  I was "skeptical" at first, but am loving it now. I purchased this from Ebay. Ye, my favorite place to shop. hehe... Let me know if you get one and what do YOU think about it?

Edited to add.. This could be dangerous around little people if left plugged in. Although the slot is little, little fingers CAN fit in the slot where the blade is. Please be cautious around children.

Happy Crafting!!!

Hugs,

Nutella Banana Paninis

Ingredients   (  Bobby Flay)

• 3 ripe bananas, sliced
• 12 slices whole-wheat bread
• 1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
• 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

Place the bananas in a bowl and mash until smooth.

Place the slices of bread on a flat surface and spread each slice with some of the hazelnut spread. Spread the mashed banana over 6 of the slices and combine the slices to make 6 sandwiches.

Heat the grill to medium-high.

Spread 1 side of each sandwich with some of the butter and place on the grill, buttered-side down. Grill until golden brown. Spread the remaining butter on the bread facing up, flip over and continue grilling until golden brown. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar. Eat immediately.

I hope your family loves these as much as mine does!!!
