Made for Play Date Cafe colour horribilis challenge. Colours include Mustard, Navy and Hot Pink. Quite the color combo, I could never imagine using these colours together until now!
Made with ...
Hero Arts K5298 blooming heart and CL342 Everyday Sayings. The mustard background paper is from Daisyd's Wonder Years card stock and it has a touch of navy blue running through it. Also a bit of zigzag stitches using navy blue thread. The butterflies are made using Martha Stewart classic butterfly craft punch.
August 30th is my Wedding Anniversary and we celebrated over the weekend with a nice dinner. We had ... chicken breast wrapped in bacon topped with roasted green pepper and a whole roasted tomato, drizzled over this was Sun dried tomato and oregano dressing. Not sure how I came up with this but I figured anything wrapped in bacon has to be good! Also had garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. It was really yummy!! If you like garlic try these potatoes, I make them all the time after falling in love with them at a restaurant in Northern Ontario. I just roast at least 2 whole garlic cloves in a touch of oil in the oven until they are nice and brown. In a bowl chop up the garlic into small pieces, add some pepper,garlic salt, chives, and basil. Mix this into your regular mashed potatoes. They are so tasty!!
