CARD GROUP: FEBRUARY EDITION

I was proud of my individual 7-layer dip cups

Served a favorite recipe: chicken tortilla soup and all the toppings

You can find the recipe for this soup here.  You will not regret making it!

In love with the new little banner I made

It's always such fun to host card group at my house.  It is a little crowded in our tiny house so I'm looking forward to the next time I get to host in our new home!  We always eat a lot, talk a lot, and craft a little!  We made custom stencil tees with freezer paper and metallic fabric paint. The ones I made are pictured below.  I got the idea here: http://www.sewinginnomansland.com/2012/03/05/la-la-lucky/. 

Love how they turned out.  So easy!

One of my favorites nights

Last night was our first card group of the year. Being able to host our card making group in my tiny little house is one of my favorite nights! We get together and exchange hand made cards centered around a particular theme. Last night was birthday cards. Once cards are exchanged we eat and work on some sort of art or craft project. Last night we made bangles from cut up PVC pipes wrapped in fun fabrics.


But most importantly we ate. The menu:

Harry & David Relish Appetizer with crackers
Blue Cheese Wedge Salad
Tomato Basil Soup
Crusty French Bread
Cupcakes from 25 Main

None of it was homemade, but all of it was delish. Thanks for coming ladies and I am excited for next month!

Our First Card Group

I started a card group and hosted the first one at my house. The theme was birthday cards. These are the cards I made:


There are the name tents I made for each member:

This is the food I served - mozzarella balls, grape tomatoes, and basil drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar:

And this is humus and pita chips:

We did a "make and take" project - clipboards. We glued the paper to the board, fit it to the edges, and then used Mod-Podge to seal it. They turned out so cute! I got the idea from Amber. This is Keri and Andrea working on their clipboards:

And this is everyone with the finished product. Aren't they so cute? (The girls AND the clipboards). I love how they are all so unique but turned out so great.

It was fun. Can't wait until next month!
