Sneak Peak, Happy Birthday Dave All In One!

Today is my husband's birthday. Although he tells me he has a birth- MONTH! His only request, fried chicken, really, we don't do fried, please, I don't know......thats how the conversation started. So I am making him fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits. Cheese cake for dessert. He doesn't know it yet, though. Surprise! We are celebrating Mother's Day and his birthday on Sunday. He always reminds me that he was born on Mother's day...... 

Ok, now on to some sneak peaks from the NEW CATALOG! New dsp, new stamps & new framelits, Yipeee!!!! I made a card & label for his peanut brittle using all new products. 

Happy Birthday Dave! I love you!

Here is what I used:
Comfort Cafe (pretty funny since we are having "comfort" food tonight)
Memorable Moments,  Papaya Collage, & A Cherry On Top (cupcake) stamp sets
Midnight Muse Ink & card stock (new In color)
Cajon Craze card base
Apothecary Accents Framelits (new, has 4 shapes)

My husband LOVES Peanut Brittle, so I made a label using the Letter It stamps using the new In Color, Midnight Muse and the same die as above, Apothecary Accents.

This jar has two batches of peanut brittle. I  make in the micro-wave. Can you say YUMMY!!!


I've added my recipe for the Peanut Brittle.

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 cur raw peanuts

1 teaspoon butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

I use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup to mix this in. You have to take it out to stir and its just easier to handle. Make sure you use a pot holder.

Stir together, sugar, corn syrup, peanuts and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

Cook in microwave for 3 minutes.

Stir,

Cook another 3 minutes,

Add butter and vanilla and cook another 40 seconds, 

Add baking soda, stir until mixed, (it will foam up a bit) and pour onto a cookie sheet, sprayed with Pam and let cool. You need to work fast, as it sets pretty quickly.

Break into pieces and store in an air tight container.
