Good morning everyone!!! Can you believe it's Friday again??? I swear the time goes sooo fast....it seems my life has gone into overdrive!! I have been working outside most of the week...at my house and at my parents. It's actually getting a little warm here so I need to finish up my planting soon. My DH planted several fruit trees and about 20 tomato plants yesterday....the green beans go in tomorrow. I can just taste fresh green beans cooked with a little onion and bacon...yummmm!! Anyway....
I cleaned out a drawer in the craft room yesterday and found a large envelope/folder I picked up at CHA two years ago at the Anna Griffin booth. The folder was made from the most luscious heavy, textured, vanilla card stock with a beautiful die cut label on the front. Wellll, the wheels started turning ...I cut it all apart and created two wedding cards for my stash. The first card features the die cut...I covered Anna Griffin's name with an oval die cut with a sentiment from Layer's of Color and embossed it with gold ep. The scalloped layer under the label was inside the folder as a business card. The silk ribbon finished it off.
My DGD will spend the weekend with us so I have to do a little cooking today....potato salad, BBQ beef in the crock pot for sandwiches and I found the most wonderful recipe for.....
No Bake Oreo Cookie Truffles
1 package Double stuffed Oreos
4 oz cream cheese softened
Dipping chocolate - I am going to use almond bark
Crush the Oreos in a food processor reserving a few of the crumbs to garnish
Fold in the cream cheese and form into 1"- 1 1/2 "balls....put in freezer for about 15 minutes
Dip into melted chocolate using a spoon or skewer and garnish with Oreo crumbs...place on parchment paper to dry or leave on the skewer as a truffle pop.
yummmmm!!!
Thanks for stopping by today....I hope your day is super special!!!!

Ooh Joan, I think Anna Griffin would be very pleased with how you've used the folder - both cards are very elegant and sophisticated. I love the pale cream colour scheme and the gold embossing. Do you make boxes for cards like this with the large bows?
