First, a huge Thank you for all the Fantastic entries to our  Show us Your Green, Red Plus 1 Other Color Challenge!  You all did outstanding work and it was wonderful to see your creations.   Unfortunately, all of you cannot be winners so  This week, random.org has chosen #8 DAVI with her gorgeous Christmas wreath.  Congratulations DAVI and thank you for your wonderful entry.  Please e-mail Lynne at stampndoodle@xplornet.com to claim your prize.

Just a little reminder of our SALE at STAMP-N-DOODLE STORE.   If you haven't visited our NEW SHOP yet, make sure you pop over to STAMP-N-DOODLE  and use your COUPON NEWSITE11 to get 15% OFF any item in the store including  our line of Crafts U Print items!



This week we are going to do a TELESCOPING CARD for the Holidays.  You are provided with the kit and all you have to do is color, embellish and assemble.  You will need 4 small brads of your choice and a small piece of ribbon to complete the kit.  If you wish to submit your own Telescoping card  idea please feel free.

Small Panel approx. 3 x 3"
Assembly Instructions
  • Cut out all pieces, color, embellish as you desire.
  • Using a paper piercing tool  add a hole in the bottom of the medium size panel.
  • Now take your large panel and line up the medium panel (upside down) on your big one.  Add a hole in the large panel where they line up.
  • Insert a small brad through the holes - your first two layers are now made up.
  • Open the layers with the medium on top and line up the smallest layer (upside down again) and add a hole through both layers.
  • Insert a brad.
  • Cut a small piece of ribbon, fold in half and pierce a hole through the top of the small panel and the ribbon and insert a brad. 
  • You're done.  How easy is that and you have a great card for someone special.

December recipes!! mmmmm....

Hello everyone! and welcome to December at Blog-A-doodle.  I am sure everyone is very busy this month with  Christmas just around the corner.  I am not sure if it is good or bad but my house is not nearly as busy since my children are on their own but we do all get excited about being together on Christmas Eve.

I thought it would be fun this year to perhaps share some of our favorite food recipes.  Who knows what we might come up with.  I know I would love to share your favorites and I am sure the others would too. Please either leave them in a comment or email me and I will post them.

To start it off I am posting a favorite at our household - Butter Tarts.  I make the really small ones (so it doesn't look like you eat as many - LOL)  My family doesn't think it is Christmas without them and neither does our neighbour!
Butter Tart Filling: 

3 eggs

1 cup corn syrup

1 cup sugar
2 tblsp butter melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup raisings and or pecans (optional)
Short Crust Pastry:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled, and cut into 1 inch (2.54 cm) pieces
1/8 to 1/4 cup ice water

Beat eggs lightly with fork in bowl. Add corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Stir until blended. Spoon raisins into tart shells, pour in filling, two-thirds full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or just until set. Freezes well. makes 24 tarts (large) - 48 small
You can cheat and use store bought crust and they still taste as good. LOL

SHOW US YOUR GREEN, RED PLUS 1 OTHER COLOR

Hello everyone and welcome to another fun challenge at BLOG-A-DOODLE!! Hope everyone who celebrated any type of Thanksgiving holiday had a great one.  Ours was very lovely and all I had to make was a salad and plus it wasn't here, so no clean up:)
