I make this yummy brie recipe a lot when I know that I am having the ‘ladies’ over to scrapbook- my friend Sabrina loves it and keeps asking for the recipe- it is based on a Pampered Chef recipe.
To make the mix- use 1/2 cup of brown sugar and mix with 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard.
Preheat oven to 425. Cut Brie in half horizontally. Place one half, cut side up, onto the center of a stone (or a pan if that is what you have). Spread half the mix onto the botton half of the brie. Place the remaining half on brie on top, cut side up. Spread remaining mix over brie. If you like you can top with pecans.
Cut up a french baguette and arrange slices around the brie, spray with vegetable oil. Bake 8-10 minutes. Remove and let stand for five minutes.
I wish I had a picture but this never lasts long enough to take one!!!

I was so excited when CTMH came out with a french stamp set again- we tried it a while ago but I guess they never caught on. My son goes to a french school and is in Maternelle (JK) and this is the first year end teacher gift that I had to create. A friend, and fellow mother at the school, had a great idea of creating a set of cards using the french stamp set “Gracious Greetings” and then also giving her a new stamp set, block and stamp pad. I loved the idea so it is a good thing that our children are in different grades!!
Below are the 10 cards that I created (all came from the Just Because Workshop in the new Wishes book and use Aspen paper).
And here is the finished gift for the teacher!!

I found a great Two Peas in a Bucket video that showed the CTMH Memory Keeper Box being painted and I just had to try it!! This box I created to keep all the souvenirs in from the FREE Mediterranean Cruise that I earned with CTMH (it was fabulous).
For paint, I used our white base paint and mixed in some Sunflower re-inker until I achieved this lovely yellow tone you see above. I then painted in on the box and before a side dried I wiped it with a baby wipe to soften the paint lines and give the colour a chalky look. I used some of our chipboard frames and one of our new Bon Voyage stamp set to decorate the box- last I added the sticker in the center- it is from our Perfect Day stickease set.
Here is the link to the video on you tube if you would like to see it and create your own!!

Now all my memories are at my finder tips as this box fits nicely on a shelf and even though you cannot see it in this picture- I have decorated the spine so that I can tell what is in the box at a glance!!
