Bake Until Your Tart is content!!

Good afternoon,

I have put a little spin on my blog name on this post. I spend more time on my Facebook Page than I do here.  The day is dull and overcast.....  I made a strawberry tart on the weekend.  Those that know me ..... know that I am not one for cooking.   I do however enjoy taking photos of food...............

In order to take photos of food one must cook something!!  So, who knows, this might open up a whole new world for me.  I might actually enjoy cooking. I must say that I did enjoy bringing  this dessert together.  I had to make a card for my friends birthday and I needed some more food photos. I also have to surprise my family by making something that they enjoy!!!

I made the strawberry tart, took a photo of it and made a card for my friend.  The kids enjoyed the dessert, but they did mention that the pastry needed some more TLC!!  

So Now that I have made this, I have no excuse not  to make some more.

I found the basic tart shell recipe here .

Wish me luck

Have a great week.

The story behind the Card

Hi All,

I just wanted to show you the card in my blog header.   This is a picture of my mum.  I made the card as a thank you card for mum's 70th birthdaay. 

The card was made with the Bella Rose Design Paper (Stampin Up)   I think the cardstock is old olive.


This is mum as she is today.  (The other one is me!!)

Thanks- For all you lovely comments

1st Birthday

Hi,  It's me again. No post for a couple of weeks , then twice in one day.  I have made a card and bag for a little boy over the road who turns one today.

I am linking to the following Challenges  

Crafty Cardmakers               (Stitching)
Challenge Up Your Life        (Blue & Green)


I have used Stampin Up  cardstock and DSP.  I bought the bear & buttons a few years ago. 



Have a great day!!!!!

I actually brought out the sewing machine and stitched around the edges of the card.  

Hubby's Birthday on Halloween.

Hi Everyone,

Well  here we are.  A potential long weekend here in Melbourne.  The running of the Melbourne Cup (Horse race) is on Tuesday and it is a public holiday. The lucky ones take off Monday and  Friday afternoon and go away for the weekend.  It is quite warm today.  There is however, lots of rain forecast for tomorrow.  I have made a card for hubby. His birthday is on the 31st. Yes Halloween.  Although we did not grow up celebrating Halloween, I have added in some Halloween colours. I find it really hard to do male cards.   Hubby would like to think that the long weekend is because it is his birthday.  The photo on the card is of course of Hubby when he was young and cute.

I thought I would enter this card in the Cards for Men challenge blog. Their theme is Anything goes this time, as long as the card is for a boy or man.

The card was made with the following

Ribbon:   Stampin Up  Chocolate Chip wide ribbon. (Don't think it is available anymore)
Buttons:   Green ones are from Stampin Up.  The orange ones are from my stash
Paper:     Kraft cardstock, Chocolate Chip cardstock, Stampin Up Dsp and Creative Memories paper.

Have a great long weekend to those lucky enough to have the days off. Have a great weekend to everyone else.
