Tooo good not to share

Oh.... this is a little something I made that was Gluten free and  insane good!! Hard to tell the difference!!

 First you go to Fresh and Easy and buy their gluten free cake mix!!!

This little box holds pure joy!!!

Then you add as much frosting as cake!!!!!

 Make the cake as directed on the box but....add a handful of Trader Joes chocolate chips (none are better I swear!!) to the cake batter then bake as directed!

Then you make my best homemade frosting!!
Recipe:
7 Tbsp Hershey's cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
sift
1 Stick butter soft
1 Tbsp vanilla
4 Tbsp hazelnut milk but you can use regular milk too ( more if you need it)
a pinch of salt
mix all the ingredients ( electric mixer is best) till its perfect
Then you frost while its hot then you put the fork down before you eat the whole thing!!
You're gonna love me for life now!!
Love, Julie

Baby Girl!!

I've wanted to make this card for awhile. I saw something similar in a store on a wall.
Here's my version!

I used a few retired products but truth is we have them and we have new stuff that can be substituted!
I'd be a bad demo if I didn't teach you how to use what you have, and if you don't have it we can find a comparable!!
I love this Company and it's versatility!!
Now if I only had a Mamma who just had a baby girl, to send this to. :)
Love, Julie

Smart Idea!!

Every once in awhile I have them, ideas!!! Sometimes they are even smart ones!!

I say with every invention there is a reason or a need!

 This "need" came up during one of my "here's your handmade gift for coming" moments.
 I heard from the back of the bunch: "You can keep mine, I don't have kids at home" and then "I don't do party favors any more"!

 But look at how great these are!!!

 Well I really love making package gifts to give, and dang it I wanted to to include her! So I came up with a way to recycle my cute bag into a card that she will "give"!!!

I cut a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock in half. The bag is already 5" wide, so I only had to trim the top and bottom at 3 3/4", untied the ribbon cut at 6" applied adhesive on the backside of bag, and tucked it behind then I tied another bow and stuck it on the front with a glue dot! Done!! 3 min flat!!

Happy Day!!! Enjoy the idea and remember: " if it's boring stamp it!!"
Love, Julie
