Recipe Swaps.....Here I come!

Our Local Scrapbooking Store, Simply Scrapbooks is sponsoring a Recipe Swap! Of course I had to join in! We ended up with 2 seperate swap groups. One has 20 people participating and the other has 21 people participating. There was a 6 month commitment to join so we will end up with 120 recipes once all is said and done for the first swap and 141 recipes in the second swap! I am so excited and wanted to share my layouts with you!

The October Recipe Swap was appetizers/Drinks. Here are the recipes that I created for that swap!

Micky D's To The Rescue!

When I was pregnant with my 3rd child I was due it was right around the time of my oldest daughter, Abby's birthday! I was so miserable I couldn't even think of throwing a proper Birthday Party so I called good old McDonalds and we had her birthday 1 week early. It was a good thing that we had her party then as Abe was born less than 48 hours before her birthday! They did such a wonderful job and I am a sucker for McDonalds Birthday Cake, YUMMY!
This layout is made using the Cricut Design Studio and the following Cartridges: Locker Talk, George and Basic Shapes and Plantin Schoolbook. I used Prism Cardstock and the Cricut 12x24 paper pads. I also used The Stencil Collection Non-Smear Pastels, Sharpie Black Pen and Tombow Aqua Mono Liquid Glue(My very most favorite glue in the whole world!).
