<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used an old Stampin Up set called (I think) Under the Sea. I really think if you have a beach theme set it would work just as nicely too!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I stamped my clam and crab on red cardstock and cut the outline of each image. I used my hole punch to create the eyes of the crab. White pen to color the clams eyes.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used a sandy brown paper and a darl brown ink with a stipple brush to create the sand texture on the card and a simple tear of the paper to give it more depth.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now the sand castle was fun! I really love it when I can create an image with just using a punch. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used my index card punch to create the sand castle, Martha Stewart carries a punch similar to what was used as seen on card. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I cut the brown card stock 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 and punched only the top section. I cut another piece 1/2 x 1/2 and punched the topm stippled in a dark brown ink and layered.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
I just created a cute card in a snap!</span></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: magenta;">Red Velvet Cake Pop Receipe (from Wilton.com)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ingredients:</div><br />
<br />
1 box (about 18 ounces) Red Velvet cake mix <br />
1 box (3.4 ounces) chocolate pudding mix <br />
4 eggs <br />
1 cup water <br />
1/3 cup vegetable oil <br />
1/2 cup canned cream cheese icing <br />
1 bag (14 ounces) White Candy Melts® (I used 1/2 package of while Almond Bark)<br />
Makes:<br />
<br />
48 tablespoon<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray one 13 x 9 x 2 in. sheet pan or two 8 in. or 9 in. round pans with vegetable pan spray. <br />
<br />
In large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water and oil; beat at medium speed with electric mixer 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. <br />
<br />
Bake 30-35 minutes for round pans; 35-40 minutes for sheet pan, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling grid and cool completely. Divide cake in half; freeze one half for future use. <br />
<br />
In large bowl, use hands to crumble cake until no large chunks remain. Add icing; mix with fingers until well combined. Form mixture into cake balls. Chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours. Melt Candy Melts according to package directions. Dip sticks into melted Candy Melts and insert into cake balls; let set. Wait until candy is completely firm before dipping the pops completely in melted Candy Melts; let set. <br />
<br />
Makes 48 – 1 tablespoon sized cake ball pops (each about 1-1/4 in. diameter) <br />
Makes 24 – 2 tablespoon sized cake ball pops (each about 1-1/2 in. diameter) <br />
Makes 16 – 3 tablespoon sized cake ball pops (each about 1-3/4 in. diameter) <br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are going to take the time to review some of the books that we have bought recently in an effort to build and promote our business, Crabby Cakes Studios.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Our first book review will be on:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Blogging for Bliss - Crafting Your Own Online Journal - A Guide for Crafters, Artists, & Creatives of All Kinds</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Written by Tara Frey </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gv6jVlPRhF4/TcLwQFDkuUI/AAAAAAAAB7o/Mj-xP83b5Bo/s1600/51Vu7KY4oWL__SS500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gv6jVlPRhF4/TcLwQFDkuUI/AAAAAAAAB7o/Mj-xP83b5Bo/s320/51Vu7KY4oWL__SS500_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">The first impression of <b><u><span style="color: magenta; font-size: small;">Blogging for Bliss - Crafting Your Own Online Journal - A Guide for Crafters, Artists, & Creatives of All Kinds</span></u></b> is that it is stunning to look at! That being said – this book is much more than just another book with pretty pictures. It is full of a lot of helpful information that is extremely easy to understand. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tara Frey explores in great detail the differences between the different blogs such as Blogspot, Twitter, Typepad etc. For the person who is just starting their blog, this is like hitting a jackpot of information so you are able to make an informed decision on which blog hosting company will be right for you. (Crabby Cakes Studio currently uses Blogspot)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The author also mixes interviews with current bloggers in-between all of her valuable information. This gave us a place to go to see really excellent examples of some beautiful blogs out there that are current and active. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The most helpful chapter for us was the section on photography. This is an area that Christine and I are constantly are trying to improve on and this book did not let us down. Being sellers, we understand there is a need to make and take great photos of your work. Especially since buyers can not feel or touch your products online. Tina supplied us some really great photo hints and techniques. We especially loved her ideas on adding frames to make our photos stand out.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This book is a great resource because she provides many links to other blogs that provide a wealth of (usually free) resources. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We would definitely recommend this book as a great resource for bloggers of all levels (from beginners to experts).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Christine recently purchased it from Amazon.com for the incredible price of $8.34. We are not Amazon affiliates but love to share deals with everyone – so here is the link to Amazon.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
We are so happy to be rolling this out just in time for Mother's Day! This would be a great keepsake, capturing your Mother's Day festivities!<br />

We know Moms are hard to capture on film, so make sure to take a moment this Sunday to get some snap shots in! Make your Mom feel like the Queen of Everything she is!<br />
<br />
Our pages are entrenched with fine details. Just look at the detailed chalking on that cute paper peicing!<br />
Little fabric white flowers with pink rhinestones centers are all over the 2 page layout, cause your Mom sparkles and so should her pages!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All photo frames fit your (2 ) 4X6 standard size photos fit perfectly so no cropping necessary! You can simply slide your photo under the ribbon for security! We also included (3) 3 X 3 frames that can be used for additional pictures or journaling! Easy as can be, perfect for even the non scrapbooker! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>According to Wikipeda - Writer's block</strong> is a condition, primarily associated with writing as a profession, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. The condition varies widely in intensity. It can be trivial, a temporary difficulty in dealing with the task at hand. At the other extreme, some "blocked" writers have been unable to work for years on end, and some have even abandoned their careers. It can manifest as the affected writer viewing their work as inferior or unsuitable, when in fact it could be the opposite.</div><br />

I had such high hopes for the paper. I mean it's so cute - why oh why is this so hard? This hasn't happened to me in a long long long time!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Am I making it too complacated? I wanted to maximize the number of photos that the book can hold so I have been working on fold out pages (that is next week's Thursday Tutorial). I think I threw away 6 pieces of paper in frustration. Seriously - this shouldn't be so hard!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U5PwWMiltnc/TcKPSBj4KTI/AAAAAAAAB64/SeEoDcH4HFQ/s1600/scrapbookers+block+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U5PwWMiltnc/TcKPSBj4KTI/AAAAAAAAB64/SeEoDcH4HFQ/s320/scrapbookers+block+003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After wasting several pieces o f 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of yellow paper by miscutting the paper sizes - I gave up and walked away for a while. Why is this happening to me? Is it because of the amout of stress I am under at my job as an Accounting Manager? Have I just run out of ideas? No that's not possible. It must be my job!</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mpxIuWl2FVA/TcKPb-UXeUI/AAAAAAAAB68/Nna5mw6EWJg/s1600/scrapbookers+block+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="214" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mpxIuWl2FVA/TcKPb-UXeUI/AAAAAAAAB68/Nna5mw6EWJg/s320/scrapbookers+block+004.JPG" width="320" /></span></a>In this shot, I have finally figured out the page shape that I needed. This is the right side of the book. Now I just need to figure out what size I need to make the photo mats.. Do I want 4.5x4.5? 2.5x3.5? I don't know. This shouldn't be this hard for me.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u70WW64Nt0o/TcKPigniIUI/AAAAAAAAB7A/pfB_L8LEkYQ/s1600/scrapbookers+block+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u70WW64Nt0o/TcKPigniIUI/AAAAAAAAB7A/pfB_L8LEkYQ/s320/scrapbookers+block+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I thought I would use some "leftover" paper piecings from another project. Then I found out the scale was off. Great - I was so not in the mood to make new paper piecings. So much for cheating. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OEQlLzclZ0Q/TcKPq5K8NKI/AAAAAAAAB7E/h45Afpza5N4/s1600/scrapbookers+block+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OEQlLzclZ0Q/TcKPq5K8NKI/AAAAAAAAB7E/h45Afpza5N4/s320/scrapbookers+block+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Seriously, the rocket is much bigger than the page. I think it's off by 2"! Back to the drawing board (big sigh and then I shut off the lights and walked away AGAIN). </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w6rAfjeuuOs/TcKP039fFqI/AAAAAAAAB7I/r51F0rURLxA/s1600/scrapbookers+block+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w6rAfjeuuOs/TcKP039fFqI/AAAAAAAAB7I/r51F0rURLxA/s320/scrapbookers+block+007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I finally decided to cut some of my BoBunny paper and then decided I might have made a mistake. I think I stared at this piece of paper for 30 minutes before finally deciding to glue it on this way. Then I was back to my photo mat confusion. I hate this scrapbookers block. I think it's lasted over a week.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Has this ever happened to you? What did you do to get over it? What was it caused by? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have finally moved on from my scrapbooker's block. My cure - work went back to normal (whatever that means) LOL. I then moved on and am closer to finally completing the pages and book! Boy - I can't remember the last time I was this crabby scrapping! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well since both Bobbi and I just completed the painful process of putting away all of our paper and really cleaning up my scrap rooms, we came to an agreement - NO MORE PAPER until we use some of the paper that we already own. I swear I really meant it when I agreed to that over the phone with her (I wasn't even crossing fingers or toes as I uttered those words). In fact I think I was the one who instituted the no paper suggestion (but not sure - Bobbi?).<br />
<br />
Well what started out as an innocent trip to Gurnee Mills to buy new tennis shoes from Kohls ended with the purchase of this adorable new paper pack by BoBunny! I mean I so rarely go to Gurnee Mills (don't like it but that is another post) that I could not resist a quick and innocent trip to Archivers to see what was new! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FUX0oCqlfKY/TarzIZNF6yI/AAAAAAAAB6M/0HCdsV-uHoI/s1600/CCS%2B047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FUX0oCqlfKY/TarzIZNF6yI/AAAAAAAAB6M/0HCdsV-uHoI/s400/CCS%2B047.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
When I saw the new "Blast Off" collection at Archivers for only $5.99 for the 6x6 pack, I knew I was not leaving the store without it. I mean, it was only $5.99 and soooooooooooooooo cute. It would have been wrong to resist it I told myself. I also swore I would make something super cute with it.... (really I am not going to add this to the paper that I am hoarding - I swear!) I also had a coupon for 30% off - but ended up using that one a paper punch that I really "needed".<br />
<br />
Well tune in this week to see what I make with the paper pack. I am going to start my project right now.. "I Swear"<br />

Please remember this is a safe place so no judgment!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I will admit have no self control when I it comes to Joann's, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby ribbons. When I see those ads, I immediately head to Georgia (aka as my PT Cruiser) and drive down the street for a look. The problem is...I NEVER just look...do any of these excuses sound familiar?</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">It's on sale! I could be paying full price!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">I can always use ribbon! HELLO!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">I am low in this color.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">I use this color so often, I better get more!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">It's a bargain, it's in the dollar bin!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">I have a coupon! </span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: small;">Let me first say, between Christine and me, I am usually the organized one. </span><span style="font-size: small;">I love my bins, I love my labels, and yet my ribbons remain OUT OF CONTROL! </span><span style="font-size: small;">I usually have the organizational tips to provide, but not this time. My trusted partner in crime, Christine, has provided me with some organizational enlightenment and I have to say "I like it!" </span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h6A7qZivJmo/TaPAnwfC9SI/AAAAAAAAB4o/ou-TEMYhTo8/s1600/DSCN0503.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h6A7qZivJmo/TaPAnwfC9SI/AAAAAAAAB4o/ou-TEMYhTo8/s320/DSCN0503.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: small;">On a personal note:I have vowed not to purchase any more ribbon until I get all my ribbon organized so I have a clear idea what I really need. <i>(Bobbi sighs, she knows that she does not really need anymore ribbon.</i>)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This has been a task I have been putting off for a <i>REALLY </i>long time, but Christine has a great system working for her with ribbon so I have decided to share her process!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is my yellow ribbon bin, if I want to look for a ribbon, this is the mess I make....now imagine this X10 bins! Ouch and a mess!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">As you can see my yellow ribbon storage is beyond a mess! Part of my problem is the ribbon rolls. They take up too much space in the limited space I currently have. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3KTsj3au9I/TaPBVyQKVnI/AAAAAAAAB4w/LOG9t5U9LqI/s1600/Ribbons.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3KTsj3au9I/TaPBVyQKVnI/AAAAAAAAB4w/LOG9t5U9LqI/s320/Ribbons.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Although I love the cool ideas for hanging your spools of ribbon, I have too much and would have racks of them. I need flat storage! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The picture below is the white ribbon bin that I will show how I converted to flat storage. I need to use plastic shoe boxes to store my white, black and oddly orange ribbon. All the bins are so overflowed with ribbon I can not even use the lids!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I purchased smaller bins (cross fingers, ribbon will fit) at the dollar store. I liked these bins because of the flip lids and they are stackable. So can I get all that ribbon into the smaller bin? Let's find out!</span><br />

Singing in the Rain or April Showers Bring May Flowers.. Well as you can see from the layout... the song "Singing in the Rain" got stuck in her head! Actually while I (Christine) am typing the blog, the song is still in my head! I can picture Gene Kelly singing and dancing with his umbrella enjoying the weather. <br />
<br />
Inspired my the song, Crabby Cakes Studio came up with this layout:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VlGxG_cbmDA/TaUOCVJoQcI/AAAAAAAAB50/TLoVGr-qqfE/s1600/Singing%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brain%2B001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="287" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VlGxG_cbmDA/TaUOCVJoQcI/AAAAAAAAB50/TLoVGr-qqfE/s320/Singing%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brain%2B001.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr>
</tbody></table>We used Crystal Accents to create the rain drops and puddle for added effect! At first it seemed like something was missing... then it hit us.. musical notes. If you are singing then there must be music! Isn't the little girl pretty in pink playing in the rain? <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hIRnxsQjUlk/TaUOKsCk9DI/AAAAAAAAB58/JErOy-ooEuw/s1600/Singing%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brain%2B002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hIRnxsQjUlk/TaUOKsCk9DI/AAAAAAAAB58/JErOy-ooEuw/s320/Singing%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brain%2B002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="309" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g0C79LbL4js/TaUOYHlKJUI/AAAAAAAAB6E/gsHB1Lwh_a0/s320/Singing%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brain%2B004.JPG" width="320" /> This page also has rain drops!</div><br />
We also put the verse of the song to the right of this cute little blue bird! He's helping out with the song! <br />
<br />
I'm singing in the rain<br />
Just singing in the rain<br />
What a glorious feelin'<br />
I'm happy again<br />
I'm laughing at clouds<br />
So dark up above<br />
The sun's in my heart<br />
And I'm ready for love<br />
Let the stormy clouds chase<br />
Everyone from the place<br />
Come on with the rain<br />
I've a smile on my face<br />
I walk down the lane<br />
With a happy refrain<br />
Just singin',<br />
Singin' in the rain<br />
<br />

For day 3 - We created a 2 page 12x12 Easter Layout.<br />
The Title is "Somebunny Loves Me"<br />
<br />
We think this layout would be great for Baby's first Easter or even an egg hunt! We just love this layout. The Spring colors is we just the thing we needed to see on the dreary day we had yesterday here in Chicago! Bobbi and I really enjoy making interactive pages and on the second page, you can see the pull out tag for either additional photos or journaling! <br />
<br />
We hope you like it as much as we do!<br />
