Vanilla Cinnamon Dream

This is my own recipe, which I have used for many a special occasion, for MANY years.
I have finally put pen to paper and revealed my top secret recipe …



“Vanilla Cinnamon Dream”
300mL Cream, Whipped
2 Tablespoons Icing Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
1 Litre Vanilla Yoghurt
Cinnamon to taste {I use heaps!!!}
1 Tin {435g} Pineapple Chunks, juice drained off
1 Packet Marshmallows
“Jaffas” {for those of you not in New Zealand, these are round balls of chocolate with an orange candy coating!}

Whip the Cream with the Icing Sugar and Vanilla Essence.
Fold above into the Yoghurt, and then add heaps of ground Cinnamon.
Add the Pineapple Chunks {which have been drained well!}, and Marshmallows.
Drop the Jaffas on to the top of the dessert, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
AFTER 2 hours, use a large spoon to fold the dessert, the coating will come off of the Jaffas and create a marble-like effect.

This is a favourite at many of our family gatherings, and my 3 brothers and son love to destroy it in a single sitting!
The Marshmallows dissolve slightly and taste like clouds, hence why I have called the gorgeous dessert “Vanilla Cinnamon Dream”.


Enjoy …

Guest Blogger: Jen Hassloch “Lovely As A Tree” Double Slider Card

“Lovely As A Tree” Double Slider Card By Jen Hassloch

Monday was my birthday, and my very good friend Jen made this gorgeous birthday card, a Double Slider Card, using the Stampin’ Up! “Lovely As A Tree” stamp set.
This isn't just any Double Slider Card, because when you slide with the ribbon tag on the right, the panel on the left shoots out to reveal a hidden message in the centre of the card!
If you look very closely, you will see on the middle panel (the card-base) that there is a Window Sheet (Acetate) that has a Tree stamped on it, with Black Staz On.   
On the cardstock panel underneath, Jen has hand coloured with watercolour pencils a tree, and blended with Aqua Painters, and written the words “You’re One In A Million”.
So when the card is closed, it looks like a number of beautiful trees, on a grassy knoll, with gorgeous blue sky in the background, but when the Tab is pulled, a number of luscious tress are displayed on both panels, and the gorgeous hidden message is revealed!
The Student has well and truly outdone the Tutor this time!

Thanks so much Jen, YOU are one in a million!

Shabby Chic Friendship Card

“Hello Sweet Friend”

At my “Create With Kathe” Craft Class last week, we made this sweet little friendship card.
‘Tis all about layering with a Shabby Chic vibe.
Pink Pirouette cardstock is layered up in 3 layers, with the Lattice Bigz Die being a feature.
I cut 1 ½ Lattice’s and the join is hidden under the ribbon and sentiment detail.
The sentiment “hello SWEET FRIEND” is from the “Six-Sided Sampler” stamp set, and is stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper White cardstock, and then sponged with Crumb Cake.
I just had to break out the Stampin’ Up! “Flower Trim” (R), it came with 100 gorgeous flowers that can be used as is, or coloured by Spritzing or sponging colour onto the flower.   This is the very first time I have used my Flower Trim and they are like gold!   For this card I used 1 flower, for the whole class we used another 3, so that means I have 96 left!!!
I have tied a strand of “Early Espresso” Bakers Twin around a cute little bow of “Artichoke” Denim Jean Ribbon.   The vintage lace is from a scrap I had leftover from a previous project.
Inside the card, I have used another Lattice and ¼’ed it by folding along the crease lines.
I have then adhered the Lattice on two of the edges to the middle of the card, and then made a gizzlion butterflies with the “Beautiful Wings Embosslits” in Whisper White and Pink Pirouette, and adhered the butterflies to the lattice, to create a look as if the butterflies, when the card is opened, are jumping off of the card!
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I have stamped in Chocolate Chip the sentiment “love life & it will love you back” from the “Cottage Garden” stamp set.
On the bottom edge of the insert, I have finished off by stamping in Crumb Cake some cute little Pansy’s from the “Flower Shop” stamp set.
